My 3 Year Old German Shepherd Has Always Had These Issues: Excessive Water Intake, Scarfs…
My 3 year old German Shepherd has always had these issues: Excessive water intake, Scarfs down his food in seconds, Will not gain weight, Urinates and Defecates in the house and seems un-trainable, He constantly paces and just wont set still unless he is kenneled and he will still do circles and pace in his cage if he does set still out of it its for a minute at most, He recently though lost some hair on his stomach in a larch patch close to his chest.

Anonymous get his kidneys checked with an ultrasound. get a full urinalysis done as well as bloodwork. we had these symptoms in our first dobe, and it turned out he had something called renal displaysia – his kidneys were underdeveloped. eventually he went into renal failure after a bout of dehydration.
-
Shelby Allen How long could a dog live with Renal Displaysia? And those tests are under way waiting until next paycheck and I am taking him in just wanting to be prepared for something exactly like what your saying.
-
Hamster Beagles do what Laura says i think thats a good idea
-
Anonymous your dog has already outlived mine, so i can’t really give an accurate estimate.
-
Shelby Allen I was only asking since he is 3 I am just looking for some hope that thats not it although its really the only thing that has made any sense. He goes in Friday for tests this is more just a form of support in a sense I am preparing myself for what the answers could be at first I thought the worst thing would be diabetes so hearing this is pretty concerning. Another thing about him that would lead me to believe that correct me please if I am wrong though, he was the runt….Would that be more likely to give a dog that diesese?

Anonymous though, according to the folks at UPenn, it CAN be the reason a dog doesn’t develop properly. that’s what happened to our boy. he didn’t develop properly, was the smallest at birth, etc.
I Was Giving Bones A Bath, And A Cat Was In The Bathroom Too. When…
I was giving Bones a bath, and a cat was in the bathroom too. When I was done bathing him, he wanted the cat, so he put his paws on the washing machine and that’s why he has it on his paw. He’s outside right now on a tether. I figure it would rub off by walking on the ground…

Annie Yang-Shaffer Do you think his walking around outside would be enough, or definitely not?

Hamster Beagles if it doesnt come off from grass wash it off its not like its gonna burn his or her paw just dont let him lick it

Anonymous surely they’ve done more than just a fecal…have they done any bloodwork? how much are you feeding, and what food? how old is he? i would push the issue with your vet…if he is truly skinny, they should be alarmed.
-
Dana Willett No my vet didn’t really do blood work on him. They did a skin scrapping. He came to me with mites. He’s eating blue mountain. I feed him twice a day about a cup of food. He’s 7-8 months old and I’ve had him since November.
-
Anonymous i would discontinue the use of Blue Buffalo food. there is a huge lawsuit/settlement going on right now regarding questionable ingredients.
-
Dana Willett I’ve never heard about that. It’s one of the top rated diets for all natural food
-
Dana Willett What should I be feeding him then? Everyone says blue mountain is top rated because it’s got all natural ingredients.
-
Dana Willett I did switch temporarily to a diet from shoprite and was planning on going back to blue mountain food. It’s a 5/5 rating. It’s just very expensive.

Anonymous i would do a lot more research.
we frequently feed Wellness – CORE to my dog, Complete Health to my cat.
Pulsar by Horizon is a decent brand and can be purchased online.
i tried Nature’s Logic recently and was pleased with it – i will be adding it to my regular rotation
Acana and Orijen are fantastic foods but may be too rich for your puppy.
Annamaet is popular with sport dog owners and is considered a good food – i believe it’s made in Pennsylvania. -
Dana Willett Hm I’ve never heard of that. Where do you get natural logic?
-
Dana Willett I don’t believe I’ve seen those brands before o.o. What store did you go to?
-
Anonymous i shop online via chewy.com. i have zero complaints buying through this store, and strongly recommend them to others.
-
Dana Willett How fast is delivery? Honestly I’m not really a fan of the vet I go to but it’s because of my dad that I go there. He’s stuck in his old ways and I feel like he’d be weird if I wanted to switch. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of any good vets near Bethlehem that aren’t super over priced? I know he won’t go for it if they charge outrageous prices :).
-
Anonymous if you’re in PA, 1-2 days. shipping’s free if you set up autoship and their prices are regularly less than that of PetSmart/Petco.
i don’t know vets in Bethlehem, i’m sorry. i’m down in Baltimore.
-
Dana Willett Thank you 🙂 I’ll look at it and I made an appointment with a vet 15 minutes from me for tomorrow. It had really good reviews and they said we’ll discuss diet and everything

Dawn Ferara, DVM It does sound like a reaction to his vaccinations. If he is not feeling better by tomorrow I recommend taking him back to the vet.
Good Luck

I dropped a pitless dried prune and my little Yorky ate it. Is she going to be ok?

Dawn Ferara, DVM She should be fine except it may cause GI (stomach) upset because it’s something different. My biggest concern is that yorkies tend to be small and an upset stomach could lead to dehydration etc. So, if she does have an upset stomach (vomiting and diarrhea) more than 1 or 2 episodes I would take her to the vet for treatment.
Good Luck

Our Corgi Has Some Emotional Issues We Deal With. She Hides Her Head While…
Our corgi has some emotional issues we deal with. She hides her head while going on car rides. She is not scared of the vehicle just the movement of the vehicle. When going outside to use the bathroom if any one is outside(neighbors) she will not go in front of them. If it is windy she turns and wants to go back in. Noises inside the house, computers, vacuums. beeping sounds, she will go to her crate to hide.

Anonymous your dog needs a vet. he’ll need an antibiotic and probably prescription ear drops. while there, talk with your vet about preventative measures you can take to avoid this in the future.
