When we arrived home from work, there was a grease can in the living room he had gotten into. Unless it is a major coincidence, we believe that he ingested who knows how much. Are these symptoms normal for grease ingestion in a small dog? He has had no diarrhea at all, and only vomited one time. The other times he is dry heaving it kind of sounds like he is wheezing

She is 8 years old and does not go outside except to use the bathroom. She is now at the point where she has just little squirts when she goes. The problem is she is sqirting all over my house and on my bed last night. She can’t seem to be able to control it. What could be the matter, and what should I do to help her?

Dawn Ferara, DVM At this point I am concerned she is dehydrated and think she needs to see a vet immediately! There are many reasons for diarrhea and the cause could be anything from ingesting something she shouldn’t to something infectious and really everything in between.
She really needs to see a vet, please get her into see one ASAP!
Good Luck

Marena Jade There is a chance that is Addison’s disease look it up your dog has many symptoms I would think your dog needs a vet to diagnose

Marena Jade My dog has Addison’s and he had the same starting symptoms. Is she a white coat? If so white dog shaker syndrome is also a possibility at this point.

Anonymous If he has a bothersome ear, it COULD be a foreign body inside the ear but it could also be an ear infection. Please get him to the vet.

Alfredo Estrella Thank you very much for your help i will take him to the vet.. infection can happen in one moment to another i mean he was fine and 20 min lameanhe came to me i saw him shaking but he doesn’t complain or cry but he doesn’t let me grab his ear at all.
How do I know is my rabbit is stressed and how can I help and prevent it.

He’s chubby and I don’t notice any weight loss. He still eats as usual. He does drink a lot of water. They said to listen to his heart to see if it sounds “like a washing machine”. I have no idea! Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t see the vet until monday. Am I freaking out over nothing? I need to know how serious this is.

Alexander Goodner Thank you for the financial advice that’s not the question I asked now when I got the puppy I was financially sound until I lost my job a few days ago but that’s not why I’m here I’m here to do what I can to help him but thank you for not answering anything at all your a crappy Vet
My chewawa has a puffed up face like swelling a human would have when they have a severe tooth ache. Unknown if she had a run in with another animal. Should I attempt to treat her face with ice. So far she does not react violently.

PK Dennis Sounds like an infected tooth to me – she needs to be seen by a vet. She will most likely be placed on antibiotics to fight the infection so the swelling can go down, then she may need a root canal to prevent a more serious problem from developing.
It might be an insect bite, or an animal bite.
Please get her to a vet as soon as possible so you can get to the root of the problem.
My dog was breathing really hard when I got home, expresses pain towards her rear end, won’t let me touch her tail, is gassy, threw up earlier and it had a quarter of an unchewed rawhide bone in it, now she’s very lethargic, walking around in pain, her breathing is shallow and is having spasms on her bed, she’s an otherwise healthy 3 and a half year old catahoula American bulldog mix…..
MY cat has been sick for 5 days with a fever. No vomiting no diarrhea except for a little on the second day. He has a fever, he’s drinking a lot, lethargic, not grooming. I took him to a vet who gave him something for the fever and an antibiotic shot. He’s eating and drinking which is good but the fever is not going down. The vet prescribed Fevadol which has paracetamol in it. We are in a country with no good vets and no real access to pet medication, but everything I have read says that paracetamol is poisonous to cats. I would give anything for him to get better, but there are no vets that I trust here and I am so confused on what to do. He’s obviously fighting an infection but the vet said he doesn’t seem to have a URI, he has no signs in his chest and no discharge from eyes or nose. I just don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart watching him in pain. please help.
He’s a 4 year old male.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Normally I would tell you to follow the doctor’s instructions but it seems paracetamol is acetometaphin which is very toxic to cats!!! However, without examining your cat it is impossible for me to really give you any advice. My recommendation is to try and find a vet you trust because your cat needs treatment.
Good luck

D A Thank you for your response. I know he needs treatment, I am very scared for him, but as I said there are no reliable vets here. Is there something over the counter that could bring down his fever?
-
Dawn Ferara, DVM No there really isn’t.
i am not an expert, but i think you should take him to vet immediately
