Another vet said she did not need surgery. When I took Luna in to have surgery, I was told she did not need any extractions, just cleaning. Luna has been fine until a few days ago. She is now experiencing pain again while eating.

We Have 2 Male And Neutered Cats, And One Female Spayed Dog. One Of The…

We have 2 male and neutered cats, and one female spayed dog. One of the cats (we aren’t 100% certain which, but are setting up video cameras to determine which) is peeing on the dog beds. It started a year ago and would happen for a couple of weeks, then stop for a few months, start over again, repeat repeat. It happens mostly on the dog’s various beds, but has also happened on plastic shopping bags full of clothes. Comfy, soft things.

We took both cats to the vet when it first started and they didn’t find anything wrong… Just a few tiny crystals that most likely formed because they had to wait 2 days between the samples being taken and being tested, so all three of the vets said they were normal. We are taking them both to the vet again next week to do more testing (or just these guilty one, once we discover which one is doing it).

We have multiple CLEAN litter boxes, both open and closed top. One is even self cleaning after use, and my husband empties the others very frequently and cleans/washes them evey week. They have various bathroom and liter options, so I’m sure that’s not the problem.

We have tried cleaning the dog beds with all the appropriate cat urine cleaning solutions, but the second time we threw them all out and bought new ones. We did that the third time too. Now our poor dog has no beds until we solve the problem.

The dog is not a fan of the cats. She growls at them a lot, and is very protective of her food, “spaces,” toys, and bed. The cats don’t seem to mind at all, and act as though she’s not there, although I know sometimes cats don’t show when they are stressed. We know this is an issue, but she has been this way her while life. We not getting rid of the dog to solve the problem, not an option.

We of course will do all the tests at the vet (and do any surgery, take any medicine, or perform any procedure he needs), but we are worried that the poor cat is doing this due to a behavioral or dominance problem. If this is the case, does anyone have any recommendations about how to change his behavior? We will not be putting him in a shelter, we will not be re-homing him (unless we discover that he needs to be in a single pet home, in which case I will be heart broken but we will find him the perfect family), and no way in hell will we be putting him down. We will keep him even if he pees on my favorite rug or couch or carpet every 2 days. But I would obviously prefer if that weren’t the case… We have a baby coming in 6 months and I am hoping we have the issue mostly dealt with by then (although I realize long term behavior may take longer than that to change completely). Please help if you can. I feel like I am losing my very hormonal mind.

    You shouldn’t pick between breeds instead you should adopt from your local shelter and pick the one that had a good connection with you. 🙂

My 5 Month Puppy Has Been Throwing Up Multiple Times In The Past Couple Weeks…

My 5 month puppy has been throwing up multiple times in the past couple weeks. She starts to breath heavy almost sounding congested and then vomits. It is usually clear fluid sometimes with a slight yellow tint and has full undigested treats. It usually happens at the end of the night.

    So, I’m obviously not an expert, but I can tell you that my 6 month old labrador retriever experienced something similar to this about two weeks ago and it turns out it was because he had (over the course of a couple of weeks we think) been swallowing pieces of a blanket, which caused a stomach/intestinal blockage. After a trip to the vet and a barium study (and about $500) he is fine, but it was scary for a few hours there. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share. Good luck with your puppy!

  2. Angie Von Hoff

    Thanks! I’m pretty sure that is what happened. Did your vet have to remove the blockage or did it pass on its own?

  3. Tracey Nash

    Thankfully it passed on it’s own! The vet wanted to keep him until it had traveled to his colon (she said the esophagus, stomach and intestines are where they worry about it getting stuck) and then once it’s there, she said we were out of the trouble zone, so we could take him home and wait for him to pass it naturally. It took a couple of days and came out in several different pieces, but eventually was all gone. Really hope everything turns out okay with your puppy!

    I actually had a male kitten that had a sibling suckle on the end of penis and had actually caused an injury to the penis so the male cat could not pee!  It was easily fixed and required some TLC.  Today the cat is fine.

    So take him to a vet ASAP!
