He hasn’t vomited, is drinking lots of water, but hasn’t eaten today. Should I take him to an emergency vet?

    Thanks for the fast response. So far his behavior is normal, but pancreatitis hadn’t occurred to me. I will definitely keep an eye on him.

    Troy, our bacon-lovin’ Yorkie mix, is much better today. Last evening, he threw up some undigested bacon several times. Today he is much perkier/more playful, is eating & drinking normally, and hasn’t thrown up again.

    He’s obviously a tough little nut! I’m still keeping an eye on him. I so appreciate Dr. Krista’s input. Thank you!

I have a one year old chocolate lab. He chews all my clothes while I’m sleeping or not watching him. He gets into my garbage and tears things apart. This morning be knocked my side table over by my bay window and broke a flower pot.

    crate training is something i’d look into, as well.  if he cannot be trusted, then he should not have full access to your home.  i agree with Dr. Magnifico, he needs a lot more work from you to keep his boredom in check.

    eventually he may get an obstruction if you allow this to continue.  obstructions are costly and can be fatal.  nip this in the bud NOW.

    Oops my question got cut off. I was asking how do I stop this? He was to the vet yesterday. He does have an ear infection which I got drops for. Other than that the vet said he is healthy. It is mostly during the night when I am sleeping that this behavior happens. Except for the trash picking. I have to keep the bathroom door shut so he doesn’t get into the garbage. Also it seems like he knows he is in the wrong when I acknowledge this misbehavior. He gets out for walks just not as much due to the cold winter. He is not nutered. Could that play a big part in it? Thank you for your reply.

    again: obedience training and crate training. the obedience training will help tire him out, the crate will keep him contained.

  4. Chelsey Kingston

    Okay I will look into obedience training and keeping him in the crate at night. Thank you.

    Also, any recommendations on dry itchy skin? I brush him daily and put canine omega 3 in him food which has helped a bit but not entirely.

    this could be potentially fixed with a higher quality food. what does he eat now?

    i would consider wiping him down with coconut oil, too.

My Younger 3 Year Old Cat Chunk Has Been Having Eye Discharge For A Few…

My younger 3 year old cat Chunk has been having eye discharge for a few months. He uses the bathroom just fine, eats just fine, seems to be playful and very aware. The discharge is predominantly in one eye although it happens in the other too. It is a brown / rusty red color that seeps from the inner tear ducts. His eye looks okay when you look up close but Im no DVM. (He has been tested for FIV as well as Herpes in prior checkups years ago and tested negative). He doesn’t sneeze, although he does breathe some what heavy but that could also be attributed to his Chunky frame (working on it). I’ve read several possibilities including herpes, conjunctivitis, and respiratory infection. I am hoping this is something that can be resolved through an ointment like terramycin? Any recommendations / suggestions / advice? Thank you!

*Also may be beneficial to note my other rescue Captain Hook has one eye. The non working eye is flipped backward and does not function. As a result that one eye has always had blackish discharge (not the same color as chunks nor does it come out in the same way as chunks). Our vet said this is normal for his eye condition, but just wanted to mention because perhaps could be related? Or no?

Disclaimer *My cats are indoor cats on a strict wet food diet. Chunk is 3 and Captain Hook is 7. I take them to the vet when needed. Their last general checkups were two years ago. I realize they need to go every year, but my cat Captain Hook had many many medical problems (bowel disorders) so thousands of dollars in care credit we try not to take them unless needed, especially since they are indoor.

Can someone Please help and advise. My 11month bulldog walter woke out of his sleep tonight and began an intense head bobbing movement- he seemed to be conscious i got him to follow me to his water bowl. This “episode” lasted maybe 3 or 4 mins i give him a small treat and he went back to sleep.. hes just woken and had another bobbing head episode. I read a few pages and give him a lick of sugar and he settled with me tickling his belly… has anyone dealt with this?? Im worried sick.

    Hi Charlotte, I’m also in the UK …we answer questions on here from a lot of countries.

    This episode with Walter needs Veterinary attention. We cannot diagnose on here but this could be anything from a seizure to a mini stroke to something lacking in his blood/diet…..and needs professional assessment to find out what is going on. 

    I hope Walter is ok and try to keep him calm and quiet until you can get him to a Vet later today hopefully. Good luck.

    That video is crazy I have never seen anything like that. Sounds like maybe the calcium tablets might help? I hope he gets better!
