My 12 Lb French Bulldog/Shitzu Mix Is Displaying Symptoms Of Garlic Poisoning After Ingesting Garlic…
My 12 lb French Bulldog/Shitzu mix is displaying symptoms of garlic poisoning after ingesting garlic powder. It has been at least 10 hours and she is showing symptoms now. What can I do for her here at home?

Julie Brader 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.

Sarah Agreed- just to add, drinking water may help flush your dogs system quicker, but making a dog drink might prove difficult. I would also advise getting to the vet ASAP.

Sarah Although I’m unsure of which species you are referring to, given your description it sounds as though a trip to your vet is needed. Good luck.

Is This Unkind? My Neighbor Moved And Abandoned Their Two Cats Last Winter. They…
Is this unkind? My neighbor moved and abandoned their two cats last winter. They had an outdoor house there for the cats and kept them outside. By the time my husband and I discovered them it was dead of winter and they were starving. We bought them a heated outdoor house, fed them top quality food and took them to the vet. He believes they are 6 and 10 years old. After minor tooth surgery on one, they started to thrive and now they’re healthy, well fed and spoiled! They have obviously had homes in the past. I already have a dog and two indoor cats. I really don’t want them outside in the rain and cold this winter, so I want to bring them in but seperate them in our finished large basement. They try to come in all the time. We don’t spend much time down there but I don’t want to add two more animals to the rest of the crew upstairs. I know it sounds silly, but is it mean to keep them separate in the basement or should I try to incorporate them in the whole house? I will let them in and out if they like. I just want to do the right thing for these poor babies and the indoor animals too. I’m probably overreacting and their life will be better regardless, but would love opinions from other animal lovers.

Sarah I think it is very kind that you took on the responsibility that your former neighbors didn’t. As far as having them in your house with the rest of your pets, part of that depends on how they all react to each other. Keeping them separate at first would be a good way to introduce them. You may be surprised and they might integrate well into your household and you might end up doing just fine with everyone altogether… but you’ll probably need a new swiffer? In all seriousness, in my opinion with cats especially, they’re so self sufficient in so many ways that having more is usually not a big deal. The only thing I am not a huge fan of is the extra litter boxes – which I have delegated to the kids. Best of luck!!

Julie Brader 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!

My 8yo Female JRT, Who Barks Very Loudly Most Of Her Life Woke Up Yesterday…
My 8yo female JRT, who barks very loudly most of her life woke up yesterday morning without her bark, well most of it. She’s trying to bark but not much is coming out, she sounds very hoarse. Should I be worried, wait a few more days or should she be treated by my vet?? She is otherwise completely healthy and UTD on all vaccines, flea & heartworm preventatives.

Anonymous I think a sudden change would warrant a call to your vet, though if she isn’t displaying any other symptoms I’d probably wait a day to see if her voice starts to return. If it doesn’t, call the vet tomorrow.

Elizabeth Adkins Post author Thanks for your response, she now has an apt with my wonderful vet this evening!

Anonymous I think that’s the best plan. Here’s to hoping it’s minor and easily handled. 🙂
My Eight Year Old Cocker Spaniel Is A Great Wee Dog, Friendly And Not At…
My eight year old Cocker Spaniel is a great wee dog, friendly and not at all cross and super with my grandchildren. However when the baby visits and cries Holly gets agitated and restless. No sign of aggression but the sound seems to really upset her. Holly is ok with my two year old grandson though when he was a baby she behaved in the same way. Any ideas?

Vivienne Barnes Post author Many thanks for your reply. I do make sure that she does not feel excluded and give her reassurance that really all is well. She would never ever be left alone with any of the children and if when she has had enough she just gets offside to her own spot. Do you think Adaptil plug in would help?

Krista Magnifico Hello,
If she is anxious it is important to respect her discomfort and either remove her from the area to a safe and quiet place and/or start working with her so that she begins to get used to the crying and baby noises so you don’t have to worry about either of them. Ideally everyone needs to feel safe and secure in their own home. Please talk to your vet about a good behaviorist. They can help. Best of luck.

Anonymous I don’t know where you’re located that a license is required. I live in Maryland, in the United States of America, and we do not have licensing. Can you clarify this question?
-
Daniel N I live in Perth, Australia Laura, thanks for your replies.
-
Anonymous Okay…in that case, I DEFINITELY can’t answer you on costs, as vet care varies widely from country to country. Call your nearest vet and discuss routine care for them as well as average costs.
For licensing, a quick Google search took me here: https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/plants-and-animals/licences-and-permits
I suggest contacting that office with any questions about licensing.

Anonymous For everything else, start with a basic care sheet: http://dragonrancher.com/bearded-dragon-care-guide/
I would get a tank that is LARGER than the minimum. Beardies do need some room to be comfortable.

Daniel N Okay, thanks for your help.

Julie Brader 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.
Hello Amrit, I’m so sorry your Daschund is not well. I’m sure you are very worried. Perhaps you should ask your Vet to carry out some blood tests and an Ultrasound to determine what the problem is. If by chance cancer is again present your best option would be a referral to an Oncologist. They would be able to tell you what treatment options are available. I do hope this is not the case and your dog fully recovers. Please do act quickly though for obvious reasons. Sending best wishes.
