Hello,
I think it will be cheaper and better in the long run to start working with a positive reinforcement trainer on getting your pup comfortable with nail trimming. I also think that there might be other options than anesthesia. Ask your vet for more help in coming up with a plan you are happy with, or ask for a referral for a trainer or find a vet who will work with you on terms that are better for both you and your dog.

Hello,
I think that Royal Canin is a very good diet for cats. But, I don’t know anything about your cat so the best person to answer this is your vet.

Without knowing why it is swollen (infection, cancer, trauma, poisoning, etc), it is not possible to offer any treatment options.
You can look for signs of wounds, infection, or whatever the cause may be and perhaps we, or a local veterinarian can provide more help from there?

I agree with Leah. I would try a groomer forba shave down before trying to untangle. It can be very painful for the cat, and tear the skin which will lead to infection and even maggots. Please just ask the vet or a groomer to safely shave out the mats. Never use scissors! You can (it happens all the time) accidentally cut them which often results in an abscess.

I would discuss conditions like megaesophagus, reflux, seizures, and neurological issues. This is a condition that very likely needs a vets assistance to diagnose.

I agree!! An examination including a rectal exam needs to be done.

I’m sorry to hear about your cat. This cannot be answered without an in person exam and review of the radiographs. I strongly recommend that you seek a specialists help and give her rest in a cage so she cannot hurt herself further.

Hello,
It can be anything from infection, disease, trauma, self traumatization (licking the end of the tail), infection, parasites, etc. I would look for other areas of hair loss or irregular skin and talk to your vet if it worsens or persists.

She should go immediately to the closest emergency clinic. They will examine your dog, provide injectable anti nausea medications and even sedate your dog so the vomiting stops and the tissue can begin to heal. I also get extremely concerned that these cases might be something like gdv/bloat, obstruction, toxin, or disease. Any dog who vomits more than a few times, or has intractable vomiting needs a vet immediately.

Hello,
Certainly it is possible and plausible that there is a medical reason behind this. The only way to know is to see your vet. After that we discuss adequate exercise, diet, training and making sure that your puppy has everything they need to be happy, healthy, and a welcome member of your family. I would like to add that puppies (or any pet at all) are never ever “bad”. They are trying to tell you in the only way that they know how to, that they are frustrated and need something. Usually it is more time, attention, training and exercise. Please be very very patient and understanding and please try to find someone who can articulate what your pup is trying to tell you. This is a crucial age for development, training and a lifelong successful happy relationship together. Get help from a positive reinforcement trainer.
Very best of luck
Please let me know how things go.
