9/23/16 2 yr old Maltese has IVDD and has a cervical issue. We didn’t take him to the neurologist, but chose to treat with medication. He was paralyzed is all but one front leg. Never lost deep pain. It’s been two weeks of crate confinement and he is much better. He can sit and has even stood a couple of times.
My question is, how long does he need to stay confined in a small space? Do i let him try to stand?
Hello, I’m aspiring to become a veterinarian. I’m currently in a community college. For one of my school projects, I need to interview someone in the career field. I was wondering if I could email one of your vets or private message you on this site. I have about 10 questions that hopefully won’t take long to answer. Thank you for your time.
1. What made you decide to become a veterinarian?
2. In your opinion what is the hardest subject in school for vets?
3. How did you handle that subject? Do you have any tips or advice for a student in that field?
4. Have you ever questioned your decision to become a vet?
5. Do you have any advice or recommendations on the hours needed before being accepted into a vet university?
6. What school did you attend and what was your degree for, besides A.S.?
7. What is your favorite part about being a vet? Least favorite?
8. What is the hardest part about being a vet?
9. What advice, if any, do you have for a student aspiring to become a vet?
10. What advice would you have liked to have when you were becoming a veterinarian?

I have a 16 month old Shih Tzu who will not stop eliminating in her crate. She is a house dog so she has a spot in the house that she goes. She knows where this spot is and she will use it with no problem but as soon as I put her in the crate and walks away she will pee and poop in there instead of waiting. She also lays in it and steps in it and its so frustrating…any advice?

Anonymous She has been taught that inside the house = potty. That means *anywhere* inside the house. Eliminate the pee pads and start taking her outside every single time. Make the spot in the crate just large enough for her to lie down and turn around. Take her out every hour and praise her when she eliminates outside.
Also, thoroughly clean the crate with white vinegar and/or an enzyme cleaner.
My cat just loves to chew on wires.. Any ideas about how to keep her from electrocuting herself?

Dawn Ferara, DVM I would try keeping her away from all wires and using a spray bottle of water to discipline her anytime she approaches a wire. Good luck

Chris Wieland Rabbits are always chewing on wires. We protect the rabbit by putting heavy plastic tubing on lamp cords, and any other power cords. Get a thick plastic tube from something like Amazon or an auto supply store. Carefully, make a cut using a sharp blade the entire length of the tube. Then spread apart and use it to cover the power cord. Now they are safe for cat biting.

Chris Wieland Foil will not do the trick. The plastic tubing keeps them from coming in contact with the electrical wires with could injure or kill them. The foil, if bitten, would only serve to increase the possibility of an electrical short, or having them make contact with the electrical current. The tubing is not a psychological deterrent, but a physical one.

Hello! My 4 month year old Lab had diarrhea last night and seems to go every 2 to 3 hours. I tried her on some rice and she vomited. She acts ok. She still will play then nap, which is kinda normal. After the rice her pooped looked green?I wonder if anyone has some advice to avoid dehydration? How soon should I take her in?
training classes Baz Jarvis?
I always recommend seeking help from your vet to make sure it isn’t a medical issue. Often the only way these pets can show pain or discomfort is with a change in attitude or behavior.
Training. They have some good behavioral classes you can take them too. Look online around your local area
