Friends
My cat received a prednisone shot due to licking of hair on chest. Behavior has changed within the week. Eats only wet food and is sleeping on the stairs and rug in the basement. Seems very depressed. She won’t eat snacks or dry food.

Species: Dog
Age: 4
Sex/Neuter status: Not neutered
Breed: Weimaraner
Body weight: 66lbs
History: He started showing sings of what appeared to be the mange at 3 y-o. Before this he was completely healthy and hadn’t had any sorts of trouble or illnesses. He was taken to 4-5 different vets and he had some studies done where they determined he had staphylococcus aureus on his skin. Most of them agreed that it was mange and suggested the following treatments (at different times, to no avail):
* Inyected clindamycin
* Ciprofloxacin tablets
* Cephalosporin (don’t know if tablets or capsules)
* Omega 3 and 6
* B complex and casein shots
* Shampoo with amitraz
* Florfenicol .6% spray
* Aluspray
* Antisebhorreic shampoo
And he is currently on an hypoallergenic salmon diet with special food.
Clinical signs:
* Weight loss
* Very swollen paws and skin in general
* Hair loss
* Loss of appetite
* Ulcers
* Lethargic
* Some fever here and there
* Redness in his eyes
Here are some pictures of him http://imgur.com/a/FgYiT

What could this be? What can we do for him? We’ve tried everything and it seems like nothing works and we’re scared to death. We want him to get better.

I tooky dog to vet hospital on Friday night and they said he was constipated. They gave him stool softer and he has pooped 3 times and he’s still in a lot of pain. Can someone tell me what to do please?

Brandy Perkins I haven’t had him long, my mother in law died and we inherited him. He has pooped 3 times. Once it was quite a bit, but he is still in a lot of pain. I spent the only money I could do to take him to vet hospital and now I’m over drawn.

Brandy Perkins Ok thank you
I think my dog has an ear infection. Is there any home remedy that I can do for her until we see a vet?
To get the stitches removed? Anything I can do to get rid of her fluid build up? I can’t afford another 500$ to get the tube put back in, vet said that it didn’t seem to have bacteria
My Boston Terrier just broke her dew claws. It is still attached but is bleeding. How do I need to take care of it?
My dog is suddenly acting very strange. He went to his regular day care while my family and I were working. Whens he came and dropped him off to our place of business, he was very hesitant to come inside.
My girlfriend and I were planning to get a pair of dogs very soon. We have narrowed down our list to a few breeds, and we were wondering which two would have the best chemistry.
The breeds we have in mind are:
Siberian Husky
Golden Retriever (Red)
Samoyed
Australian Shepherd
German Shepherd
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Shikoku (Hard to get I know).
I know this may seem like kind of a dumb question, but I know that getting something like a yorkie and a high prey drive big dog isn’t a good idea. I know none of these dogs would kill each other, but I just want to have the most compatibility as possible.
Thanks!

Anonymous if i would you, i’d do a LOT of research. you’re all over the place with those breeds and i wonder what has drawn you to this list, specifically? what are you looking for? what’s your daily routine? do you have a fence? are you active people? have you ever had dogs in the past, let alone high energy dogs?
How can I get my house cat to accept the kittens. I would like to bring them in the house from time to time.

Cheryl Dietrich Thank you for your answer. I agree, it will take time, but I think our cat will enjoy the company of the kittens in time.
The first 2 days started with a large amount of vomit early in the a.m. not normal fur ball vomit but a watered down milk consistency with fur in it. Day 3 brought on vomiting throughout the day and refusal to eat. Also stopped using the bathroom. Day 4 vomit is yellow in color now still with fur, still refusing to eat, still hasn’t used the bathroom. Just sleeps and vomits. What can I do?

Anonymous Vet time. Could be an impacted hairball, could be something else, but your vet really needs to see your cat TODAY. 4 days is a LONG time without food, and cats really can’t go without for too long without serious health problems as a result.
He already had bloodwork and nothing showed up, in the skin scrape they just detected bacteria and in the skin biopsy they caught the staphyloccocus aureus. No fungi in any of those.
He was also seen at a vet teaching hospital by both students and doctors and most of them agreed on mange and one has been studying his case closely to no avail.
They are not in the US and not anywhere close to a border city at all. We are desperate which is why I’ve come here to ask online since we’ve taken it to plenty different vets on the city and outside the city and spent amounts on the thousands to get him better, which is not a problem because we love him but we are truly worried and aside from the staphyloccocus aureus on his studies, nothing else has shown.
They’ve urged their vet and themselves which is why they’ve gone to so many different providers and have tried all the treatments as prescribed to no avail.
