Three weeks ago he ate some play sand and then yesterday he ate some aquarium rocks(the real tiny ones). Since he has eaten the sand he has started having seizures off and on. He has been to his vet but I have not gotten any answers to my questions. Im trying to get advice and help, I am truly worried about my boy.

My dog started off with puking and not eating then she had diarrhea with some blood, we took her to the vet they wanted to keep her so we had her there for three days being that it was 4th of july weekend it was really expensive. They put her on antibiotics and fluids and when we picked her up we paid for antibiotics that we could bring home along with nausea medicine. She is home now and still very sick. She does not have parvo, I dont know what to do.

Kelly Hello,
sorry to hear you dog is so sick. What did your vet say was wrong with her? I would call the vet back and explain that she is not getting better and ask them. You’ve already paid for your bill there, so give a call back and explain that she is still sick. If they cannot help, find a new vet. If you cannot afford it, reach out to local rescue organizations and ask if they have any programs that can help with assistance. Ask you vet if they have Care Credit (apply for it , ask you vet how). Ask your vet if they can take payments or if you can work off or volunteer with them to help pay for the care. .Good luck!

I have an adult female cat, actual age unknown, but we think she is between 14 and 17 years old, she has in the last couple of weeks started drooling, but not all the time. any suggestions?
My dog’s eye was swollen shut, I flushed it with water and it worked but it’s still swollen…she keeps trying to scratch
He is up-to-date on all his shots takes heartworm and tick preventative medication . When we pick him up from boarding he had a oatmeal bath for the first time. We live in North Carolina but is spending the summer in New Hampshire we don’t have a vet in New Hampshire. We did ask where we boarded him if anything happened they said no
What to do about my puppy being scared of fireworks
So what else would you recommend for a dog that is afraid of fireworks the thundershirt helped a little maybe some music we can hear the fireworks sounds all over our house maybe a movie sound would help
I am adopting 2 kittens in September. They are currently 6 weeks old and have been going outside for a week. I will be getting them at 16 weeks old and am concerned that they are unvaccinated and have been roaming. Will it be OK to have them vaccinated as soon as I get them and then keep them inside until they have had their 2nd set of vaccinations or is this likely to be problematic given that they will be used to going outside.
I am getting the kittens from a friend not a breeder and she does not vaccinate her cats so there is no way they will have had them prior to me getting them

Joe Mccollum Statistically cats live longer healthier life if they live indoors. Your cat should be spayed neutered and microchip along with having the required vaccines. You may want to consider harness training your cat so that you can take it on long walks they love it.

PK Dennis I encourage you to keep your cats indoors for the rest of their lives – cats that roam die early, and some times very brutal deaths. So many things to kill cats: cars, dogs, fox, poisons, people. Your cats will live longer and be healthier living as indoor cats. Also they will be less likely to add to the unwanted cat populations.
And let’s think about what cats do when they are outdoors – in the UK cats kill about 200 million other animals! 55 million of those are song birds.
So, rethink what it means to be a responsible cat owner, keep those kitties safe at home.
My dog got bit by a huge mouse outside and started bleeding, he seemed fine by licking off the blood and eating, but im worried, could there be diseases transmitted? Can i clean the wound somehow? Thank you.
Hi Olivia,
Often you need two doses of dewormer to kill off the eggs as well as adult worms. Since your pup will be due for routine vaccines with a vet, I’d advise calling to make an appointment for an exam. Take a fecal sample with you so they can find out what type of worms your pup has, and provide the correct medication. Good luck with your new pup!!
