Kelly Hi Olivia,
Often you need two doses of dewormer to kill off the eggs as well as adult worms. Since your pup will be due for routine vaccines with a vet, I’d advise calling to make an appointment for an exam. Take a fecal sample with you so they can find out what type of worms your pup has, and provide the correct medication. Good luck with your new pup!!

My dog started off with puking and not eating then she had diarrhea with some blood, we took her to the vet they wanted to keep her so we had her there for three days being that it was 4th of july weekend it was really expensive. They put her on antibiotics and fluids and when we picked her up we paid for antibiotics that we could bring home along with nausea medicine. She is home now and still very sick. She does not have parvo, I dont know what to do.

Ashley Schrock How can I tell my dog is getting better, or any signs or recovering.

Kelly Hello,
sorry to hear you dog is so sick. What did your vet say was wrong with her? I would call the vet back and explain that she is not getting better and ask them. You’ve already paid for your bill there, so give a call back and explain that she is still sick. If they cannot help, find a new vet. If you cannot afford it, reach out to local rescue organizations and ask if they have any programs that can help with assistance. Ask you vet if they have Care Credit (apply for it , ask you vet how). Ask your vet if they can take payments or if you can work off or volunteer with them to help pay for the care. .Good luck!

Anonymous When was her last vet visit? I’d get her in. I’d be worried about dental issues.

PK Dennis Sounds like a dental issue to me too. Please get her to a vet – she may be in pain or is working on a massive infection.

Anonymous To the vet with you, first thing this morning. There may be a scratch on her eye. Don’t delay on this – eye problems can go downhill QUICKLY.

I Am Adopting 2 Kittens In September. They Are Currently 6 Weeks Old And…
I am adopting 2 kittens in September. They are currently 6 weeks old and have been going outside for a week. I will be getting them at 16 weeks old and am concerned that they are unvaccinated and have been roaming. Will it be OK to have them vaccinated as soon as I get them and then keep them inside until they have had their 2nd set of vaccinations or is this likely to be problematic given that they will be used to going outside.
I am getting the kittens from a friend not a breeder and she does not vaccinate her cats so there is no way they will have had them prior to me getting them

Joe Mccollum Statistically cats live longer healthier life if they live indoors. Your cat should be spayed neutered and microchip along with having the required vaccines. You may want to consider harness training your cat so that you can take it on long walks they love it.

PK Dennis I encourage you to keep your cats indoors for the rest of their lives – cats that roam die early, and some times very brutal deaths. So many things to kill cats: cars, dogs, fox, poisons, people. Your cats will live longer and be healthier living as indoor cats. Also they will be less likely to add to the unwanted cat populations.
And let’s think about what cats do when they are outdoors – in the UK cats kill about 200 million other animals! 55 million of those are song birds.
So, rethink what it means to be a responsible cat owner, keep those kitties safe at home.

Joe Mccollum A washcloth with warm soapy water should be used to clean the wound. Some diseases are transmitted by mice and could be problematic please contact your vet.
She Is Terrified Of Firework Sounds And Will Not Even Go Outside To The Bathroom…

PK Dennis Camomile will do little to calm a dog that is fearful of fireworks. You are better keeping her in a leash attached to a harness and walking her out for short trips to release herself.
Every year dozens of dogs are lost when they run away due to fireworks – some are never found again so be very careful when she is outside.
Putting her in a crate in a darkened room where she is less likely to hear the noise is also a good idea.
Try a thunder shirt or similar product to help her in the future.
How Urgent Is A Hematoma? My Dog Developed One Last Night. I Know He Needs…
How urgent is a hematoma? My dog developed one last night. I know he needs to see a vet, but we’re Americans so tomorrow is a holiday. Can it wait until Tuesday, or do I need to get him to an emergency vet tonight?

Elizabeth Fulda Thank you so much for your response! But I am aware of that – my question is how quickly this happens. So, wiill 24-48 hours make a considerable impact? His ears have been gently cleaned, and he’s been given his allergy meds.

Elizabeth Fulda I took him to the emergency vet tonight, they confirmed it was a hematoma, but told me it wasn’t worth worrying about and could just take him to my regular vet in a few days.
It could be allergies or maybe something like a foreign body in the nose. I’d be tempted to run to the vet if this goes on for more than a day.
