I think your dog deserves better. I cannot imagine this as a life I would ever wish for my kids.. and my kids are my dogs. I also think your husband got a dog for all the wrong reasons if he doesn’t care more about her than to provide a safer, happier and healthier environment than this.
Who would ever want to live like this?
I don’t know your local dog safety laws but it may not even be legal.
Thank you for being worried. I hope you can convince him that this is a sad and unfair way to keep a pet.

Hello,
If it just happened I would call your vet or the pet poison helpline. Simply because I am worried about the high salt content. They may recommend you induce vomiting. Or go to the ER. Start with one of these two for immediate advice.

Hello,
There are so many wonderful organizations. I always advise staying local as it allows you to see your assistance at a four pawed and wet nosed level. It also allows oversight and peace of mind.
I am vegetarian/vegan and I honestly believe it is the most important thing I do for animals every single day.
best wishes

Hello.
No one but your vet can answer this appropriately. Too many variables like disease, diagnostics (or lack there of), and your cats physical health influence this answer.
Please call your vet and ask for clarification on the duration and use of the medication they prescribed. It is part of the exam and office fee you paid for and they are the best source for your cats ideal care. Also ask about diet, exercise and supplements to help avoid future episodes.

Hello
The freshest sample you can get is always the best. Please keep it refrigerated until you can get it to the vet

Hello,
I would need a lot more background information about the rabbits and your home to start helping. I would start by making sure everyone is healthy by talking to your vet. We always need to make sure everyone is healthy and normal before we assume this is only a behavioral issue. Start with physical barriers to keep them seperated to keep them from getting upset when they see one another. Then you can start training by using some of their favorite treats to reward the rabbit who is behaving as you want them to. We always ignore bad behavior and reward good. Ignoring the other rabbit (aggressor) is a good start. If you can get them to the point where they arent aggressive you can start inching them closer to each other. A harness is also a good way to help keep a safe distance and encourage exercise and activity.
Ensure plenty of resources like toys, food, and anything they love, so they don’t feel the need to share.Keep their hutches clean, away from each other and only use them as a positive reward. Never as a punishment.
i hope this helps

It can mean allergies, infection or most commonly fleas. I suggest using a flea comb to look really well (even if you don’t think it’s that) I have a great YouTube video on it, search Dr. Magnifico and fleas. Please talk to your vet about this first so you can rule out a medical based issue. Please keep us posted!
