Our 4 ½ month old Westie pup was almost house trained. Now, she’s back to peeing in the house. What can we do?

Our 13 yo Cairn Terrier went to his usual grooming appt today. The groomer called me and said after his bath, he was crying constantly and seemed panicked. He was pacing and crying.
She thinks it may have been a seizure or something like it. When I picked him up from her, he was very happy to see me. We went home, he ate and is now acting like his normal self. The ER vet had a 10 hour wait! And no other vet can see him.

Krista Magnifico hello,
I would say that my advise would be to keep a close eye on him, ie eating, drinking, peeing, pooping and behavior.. Call your vet, register the concern, and see how things go. Ask to be scheduled for the next available appointment. If he hasnt had his annual exam, or blood work/diagnostics in the last 3-6 months it is probably a prudent thing to do,good luck

Krista Magnifico Hello,
This clinical sign is always best answered by a trip to the vet. Coughing for longer than 12 hours is a problem. Please see your vet.
My dog has scratched himself raw. No signs of fleas anywhere. Any ideas? I can’t get him to the vet till next week.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
It could be allergies or infection (amongst a host of other possibilities). If your dog is not on a flea preventative I still recommend you use one. Please use a safe one (lots of otc’s are not). Also you can ask your vet about trying Benadryl or an anti itch bath. In lots of cases a prescription medication is needed to stop the itch and treat the secondary skin infections. -
Kate McKelvie All it takes is one flea to cause misery if your pet is allergic to their saliva. I hope you’ve found relief for him.
My dog has had diarrhea and frequentcy for 3 days. He is otherwise his normal self. What can I do at home?

Julie Brader Any dog with diarrhoea for this long needs to see a Vet. Take a sample with you. There could be some underlying cause which needs Veterinary treatment.

Jennifer Taylor If it were my dog I would take him or her to see the Vet. There could be many causes each which would be treated differently. In the meantime I would feed a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. Best of luck, hope your buddy is feeling better soon!
my dog is vomiting a liquid, yellow, flemmy substance.
he still wants to eat and drink. no fever or different behavior.

Kelly Furgason Hello,
It sounds like your dog is vomiting bile. Sometimes if a dog hasn’t eaten in awhile the bile can irritate the stomach and then they vomit. How long does your dog go between meals? If your dog only eats once a day, try doing twice per day…or even three times per day if possible. Use the same daily amount of food, just divide it up into more than one feeding.Of course, it could be other things that can cause this, but this would be my first thought.

Why does my dog eat his (or other dogs) poop? I have a fairly large yard, so I don’t know whose he’s eating..could be his, our other dog or a neighbor. He then comes inside and vomits (the smell is the giveaway as to what he ate)

Joe Mccollum Would you recommend using a shock collar as a training aid?
Hello,
Make sure it isn’t a urinary tract infection or medical issue by talking to your vet and then once that’s cleared to back to basic housebreaking training
