Hi. My dog has been puking for three days. Mostly at night after he has drank a couple gulps of water, but always after drinking. He has been to the vet where he was given a penicillin-like medicine that’s white and came with a syringe as well as some pills for nausea. The problem is that my family will be leaving for a cruise soon and this includes close relatives so he will have to stay at a kennel or something. What should I do? Can they take him if he’s sick like this? I’m extremely worried.

Hello,
My cat came home limping. Only one of her back legs is affected. She is in pain, however, her leg looks normal and she is otherwise healthy. There is no swelling that I can see. Could it be a sprain or muscle injury?

Haley Nickole My cats ALWAYS do a little something to there selfs , an when they were smaller , they would climb on things an jump off an limp for a day or two an then be fine . i took him to the vet after the first time an they told me it was a sprain an another time it happened to my other cat there was nothing wrong with him , he was just limping lol so sometimes unless you see a wound or they look badly in pain i honestly wouldn’t worry too much unless they persist to stay off the leg longer than 24/48 hours
A neighbor has a door dasher that seems to get out *frequently* despite her owners’ best efforts to keep her indoors. Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this behavior?
I do not have any further information, but my suggestions included diffusers with citrus scents near entry points, crating in a large dog crate, and keeping the cat confined to a room with a closing door when people enter/exit the home. Is there anything else you can think of?

Madelyn Fischer Hello, I would just make sure the door is closed and LOCKED. I don’t know any other suggestions for you, other than just “hissing” her away from the door. This means to make a noise much like a hiss noise. Good luck!

Anonymous Thank you!
It appears the cat in question door dashes when it’s opened (when people enter/exit the home). We live in a city known for B&E crime, and I know these folks keep the door closed/locked.
I’ll mention the hissing but I can confirm that this won’t work for a determined feline. Hopefully theirs is more sensitive than my brat. 🙂

Anonymous I dig. Passing this along, thanks.
My brother just returned from his mission a few days ago. While he was gone we adopted a border collie mix puppy, she’s now around a year and a half years old.
She has interacted with people at the park and gets along with most family members when visiting at their place. This her first time having a someone she doesn’t know at home like this, usually have her away from visitors.
She is not getting a long with my brother, she’s constantly barking at him. When he offers one of her favorite treats she tries to hide behind someone she trusts or she runs down and hides in the basement. My brother is getting really frustrated with her.
Expecting that this is going to take a while. Hoping that she gets used to him/desensitized to him over the next few weeks. Any advice would be appreciated.

Kate McKelvie In what way is she not getting along with him? My first thought is that he calmly go about his business and not attempt to interact with her. Let the dog approach your brother for interaction. Is he wearing a ball cap, something that she’s not used to? Everyone needs to be calm and act normally.

Madelyn Fischer Hello, this is perfectly normal. Dogs adapt, and it may take time. Good luck!

Amphibious 803 Thanks!
She has been getting better. She isn’t barking as much, but tends to avoid him whenever she can now. Want her to get used to being around him, but don’t want to force it. Now she usually hides downstairs or in one of the bedrooms. Gets really nervous and wants to be close to someone she knows when he is around.
She does bark and get snappy when he’s interacting with one of us, she thinks she is protecting us from him?
Slow going, but are improvements.
What and how do I feed a two week old puppy that’s mother is gone?
Hi Pawbly, my sisters shih tzu Tobee has been visiting us for the week and his eye is getting a bit ‘weepy.’ I know these dogs can get eye problems easily. I’ve attached a photo. Do you think this weepy eye looks serious? Thanks.

I have an American Bulldog who is almost 2 years old. Despite training, he is very aggressive towards other dogs. He was attacked by a pit bull, on our property, before he was a year old and every since will not tolerate any other dogs or any kind of animals for that matter. We have paid quite a bit for training to try and help him socialize but after a while he is back to his old self. No one will board him and we can’t take him anywhere that has a lot of people or other animals. He’s great at home and wonderful with our children, so I am at a loss s to what to do. He also has pretty bad hip problems and is in pain a lot if he gets a lot of exercise. I love him so much, as does my family, but I want to do the right, humane thing. Help.

Madelyn Fischer Hello, as an extreme animal lover, I say no, try to train and comfort as much as you can, but I don’t know you and I can’t tell you what to do. That’s the last case scenario. Good luck!
-
Madelyn Fischer Hi Krista, I totally agree.

Crystal Williams We have done two extensive training courses for his aggression . One two week program and one five week, away from home program.

Anikke Valecourt Honestly I know this is mange because I have worked at an animal hospital and seen it before. Its not that rare in Southern California and both me and my mom got scabbies bites from sleeping with the cat. Skin scraping doesn’t usually find anything in more than fifty percent of cases. My cat is missing huge portions of his coat. It has gotten better with lime dipping but he is just too strong to keep doing this to him for six weeks plus the other animals. I understand that you can’t prescribe meds online but you should probably mention this on the website homepage to save people from wasting their time…
I have neutered 3 yrs cat
I feed her Dr.Clauders grain free dry food until now
for female neutered the brand Royal Canin is better or DrClauders?
Comments

Anonymous Without having access to the labels, I really can’t answer that question – we don’t have Dr. Clauder’s in the US. I know most vets feel that wet food is better for cats, though.
-
Zahra Bashiri I just feed her with dry food during night
During day she eats boiled chicken is this good ?
According to ur experience which brand is better ?? -
Anonymous I can’t answer that question as we don’t have one of them. This is why you need to read the labels.
Boiled chicken is not nutritionally complete and I wouldn’t feed it for a meal.
-
Zahra Bashiri What do you recommend for a complete meal ?
Which brand is good in US?
All the labels abt nutrition it’s almost the same
Here we have these brands: sanabelle , bosch , royal canin, Dr.clauders, N&D -
Anonymous the only one from that list that i know is Royal Canin. we don’t have any of the others. for what we have available in the US, i rather like Nature’s Logic, Acana, Orijen, Wellness, and a few others…we feed Nature’s Logic at the moment.
a good kibble is a complete meal by itself.
and I doubt they’re all the same. read them carefully. i guarantee some will be better than others. search for reviews of the “better” brands, and go from there.
Honestly, I wouldn’t leave while my dog’s that sick. But that’s just me…this is why I get vacation insurance.
Call the vet and talk with them about this. They may have boarding options.
