I recently rescued an 8 month pit mix from an animal control facility. He looks a bit malnourished. He has dandruff all over his coat. I have purchased high quality wet and dry food. I would like to know if I need to add supplements to this. I took him for a walk this morning to eliminate and it all looked normal. Also, is it safe to neuter him if he is a little thin or should I wait a few weeks. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

I know that pine bedding is dangerous for gerbils, but how about pine wood chews?

I’ve got a 2 year old lhaso apso she doesn’t apparelley seem to be going into full season she goes thru all the symptoms but doesn’t bleed she’s not the same wee happy dog all she wants to do is sleep

I found my mouse sleeping, and when he woke up a bit after and he was just sitting there, he was shaking,i tried to feed him oatmeal and he didnt eat, he started shaking and making a clicking sound and it sounds like its hard to breathe for him, and currently im holding him in my arms but i can’t take him to a vet until tomorrow afternoon.. anyone know whats happening to my pet mouse? will he survive until tomorrow?
I got my mouse last christmas 2014

Could it be allergies that cause this. I have been giving benadryl seems to help some and mainly seems to flair up in mornings. Is safe to use benadryl for long term use also?

Hi Dr. Magnifico. We brought Boogie, our DSH tuxedo cat in to see you nearly two weeks ago for what we suspected was a sprained leg. You didn’t think that was the case, but recommended us to crate him for two weeks, which we have been doing.
When we were there, you spoke to my husband and myself about how much food to feed our overweight cats (we have 6 cats, all overweight).
Since seeing you, we switched to Science Diet “Perfect Weight” Adult Dry, Chicken Recipe, from the “9 Lives” that we were feeding them. They love the Science Diet dry food we are feeding them now.
We also tried several of the Science Diet wet foods, with all our cats, and they want nothing to do with any of them.
It looks like we are going to have to stick with “Fancy Feast” for the wet food, but we are going to stop giving them the “Fancy Feast” gravy recipes, which was their favorite.
My question to you is, since the “Fancy Feast” wet foods come in small 3 oz cans, how many 3 oz cans per day, per cat?
Thank you so much!
Terri

my female puppy keeps throwing up. lethargic,no appetite. was fine yesterday. has her 1st round of shots already.suggestions???

This morning I got up, and as normal my 2.5 y/o Lab mix (95lbs) jumped up from where he was sleeping on the floor beside me, and followed me into the bathroom.

As we were leaving the bathroom, I noticed he was having trouble walking. His front legs were straight, but his back end was in a squat position (almost like he was going to take a poop) and shaking very hard.

He was trying to walk back towards the bed, but was having a lot of trouble. I panicked thinking he was about to poop, and tryed to drag him back onto the tiled bathroom floor. Just as quickly as it started, it stopped, and he seems normal again. I assumed it was maybe a muscle cramp or hip spasm.

My husband had told me a few months ago that he’d seen the dog have “seizure-like” shaking and today said it looked exactly the same. Could this actually be a seizure? Duke seems fine now, he ate his breakfast no problem, and is acting like his normal self.

Should I be taking him to the vet this week? Would they be able to do much with only knowing of two episodes?

Since she’s a puppy she usually sleeps most of the times…. That’s why I’m not sure how I can tell

I found a lump on my dogs paw, and in nervous about what it is
