Hi Emily, Sorry to hear this. There is nothing you can do at home for your dog. She needs to see a Vet urgently. If you had taken her to a Vet when she first ingested the garlic powder the Vet would have induced vomiting to remove it from her stomach. She may well have been kept at the Vet for a day or so to make sure there were no further effects from the garlic. Unfortunately after 10 hours the garlic is in her system and will be far more difficult to treat and eridicate it. Please don’t leave it any longer VET NOW. Do hope your dog will be ok.

Hi the only totally safe bone is a marrow bone and make sure its raw from a butcher. The cooked ones you can buy in Pet Shops are not only full of fat they also splinter. Hope your puppy has fun!

Yes definately take your cat to the Vet. Whatever is on his neck needs diagnosing. Its obviously infected from your description and also needs antibiotics. There could well be a reason your cat keeps getting these ulcers (if thats what they are) and it would be wise to find the source of the problem. Good luck.

I would check with your Vet. It depends on how much of the shoelace and foam was eaten. The lace could wrap itself round the intestines and the foam could cause a blockage. If your dog has passed it all…then fine but just having a poop won’t solve the problem. Contact your Vet with some urgency.

Hello Amie, when does your Vet open? Is there one closer than the emergency Vet? We couldn’t begin to tell you whats happened to your dog it could be any number of things. Have you checked his ear for infection? One thing is for sure he needs a Vet urgently. You could try a hot water bottle, not too hot but warm) held against his jaw it may ease it a little. Other than that please get him to a Vet for diagnosis and the correct treatment as soon as you possibly can. Good luck.

Totally agree with Sarah. Please find a way to take your dog to a Vet. She may not pass the puppies, she may need a cesarean. Puppies need constant monitoring, keeping warm, regular worming…as does their mum. As Sarah says if you cannot provide the care ypur bitch and the puppies will need please find an Animal Shelter who will give them all the care they require.

Hello…the wound looks very red and sore. Your Labrador needs to go to his Vet for diagnosis and treatment. It could be a “hotspot” but it could be something worse. Hope he recovers soon.

If you want to let him play outside then make sure there are no escape.routes; nothing he can harm himself on….like stones he can eat, dangerous plants that will make him ill etc. Toys outside he can amuse himself with and so on. Leave a door open so he can come inside to you when he wants to. Keep a constant eye out every few minutes to make sure he’s alright. Give it a go and see how it works out. Good to know a dog owner cares about her puppy’s wellbeing and enjoyment. Best of luck.

Could also be her Anal Glands. I’m sure your Vet will empty them.

Hi perhaps just watch your puppy very carefully for the next few days. If you see anything at all, sickness, loose stools….lethargy or anything else you are concerned about then take him to your Vet. I would make sure he hasn’t picked up fleas or lice from the dead bird too. You could always phone your Vet for advice also. Hope all is well with your puppy.
