I have a notification sounds in my phone and my dog hates it. When.is goes off she starts to shake. She then gets really close to someone. For example, if we were sitting on the couch and the sound went off, she would try to get up on the couch along with us and sit on my lap and she would be trembling. I’m not sure why she is acting this.

My cat has vomited three times today – it was clear and has gotten yellow. He’s still drinking water and is active – no lethargy or soreness. Do I need to take him to the ER immediately or should I see if it continues?

Hi! My cat has a pink, goopy eye. He has had this in the past and it’s gone away within a day or two but it’s been about 4 days now. What do you think it is? Should I take him to the vet?

Aly Elbatrawy well this is a normal thing in puppies as their teeth begin to hurt as this is the time when they fall off and new ones start to grow, but you can try telling him “no” when he does this, you can also leave him and walk away as if you don’t want to talk to him. but don’t pull your hand from his mouth aggressively because he will think that you are playing and will keep doing it. but the best option is to buy him a rubber bone and give it to him when he starts biting your hand until his teeth stop hurting him and he will stop biting eventually.
i have a 5 months cane corso which has lately formed a lump on his left limb which i believe is caleed histiocytoma and now he is licking it to the point that it bleeds. does anyone know how to make it go away without surgery? also if it goes away will hair still grow in that area?
I’m sorry but I don’t understand what your question is? Please ask your vet about conditioning behavior training if your dog seems to be afraid.
It sounds as though your dog is fearful of the noise. With noise sensitivities, we can use desensitization and counterconditioning to acclimate the dog to the sound. We would start by playing the sound at a very low volume (low enough so the dog doesn’t have the fear response) and giving a treat about one second after the sound occurs. When we shut off the noise, the food stops. So, the dog learns that the noise predicts the food. You may need the help of a good trainer or behaviorist to do this conditioning, but the god news is that it can be very effective. We use this technique to get dogs to like all kinds of things they previously feared or disliked.
While this video doesn’t involve noise, it’s a good example of the procedure:
