He is always out by us and like to be around us but is basically mean if you touch him at all. Or sit in his chair that he sleeps on about 50%of the time that he sleeps.

Anonymous unfortunately you’re going to need a vet, and fast. consider Care Credit? it works like a credit card and is interest-free for a year.

Anonymous the brand mentioned has been fatal for a number of pets in the US. i would be more inclined to say the dog has been poisoned rather than experiencing bloat.
My dog is a 45 lb. German Shepherd mixed with American Terrier 7 year old suffering from something that I don’t know. This started about 4 months ago and has progressed to the point to where he constantly needs a cone on. He cobstantly agressivly licks his underbelly to the point where it has become raw and leathery.at times the area is red and swollen and others its is just leathery looking. Sometimes the area is moist and has a foul odor.recently he has started scratching his nose to the point to where he bleeds and when he is pet he favors those ares.please refer tot the pictures I have included. The vets gave him steroids and antibiotics buy that didn’t seem to help.We have also changed his food as recommended by the vet but nothing changed. the skin scrape of the area also came back negative for bacteria and mites. It sucks that I don’t know what the cause is, please help.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Jeff,
This is a fairly common problem. Behavior modification and picking up the droppings is a non-medical way of fixing this issue. However, there is a medication available from your vet which you feed to your dog and it makes the feces taste bad so your dog will not want to eat the feces.Good luckDr Dawn -
Brett Raio Thank you Dr. Dawn, I want to make his poop taste so bad, he doesn’t even want to poop anymore, especially not inside the house. Not to the point where he explodes lol but to the point he holds it in until he gets outside then doesn’t eat it because it tastes really good. And because he likes doo doo, he mustn’t like poopies. Thank you. ~ My name is Jeff.
My puppy swollowed about 1/2 tbs of children’s Tylenol about two hours ago should she be okay?

yusaimi batista i called my vet and he informed me that as long as he was eating and drinking he should be okay because he poop all the worms that he had and thats probably why hes feeling like he had no energy to give him a couple of days until he gets his energy back i also told the vet that i would like an xray done what do u think
my cat has pooped and pissed on himself, he’s barely walking and sounds like he’s having a little trouble breathing, has been drinking water, what should I do?
My dog has started tearing apart pillows. Started when we would leave her alone, now she does it at night when we’re sleeping. She doesn’t like toys or chews so we don’t know what to do with her and we take her on several walks a day.

Edyta Blysk She was recently spayed and we’ve taken her to the vet and had blood work done which came back all normal. We took her to the emergency vet after the first pillow because we didn’t know if she ate any of it and they did an X-ray and saw she was constipated so they gave her an enema. She’s hasn’t been eating her food and she tries to eat grass sometimes too.

PK Dennis This dog needs a job. You need to find something that engages her mind and uses up her energy. Flyball if she loves balls, agility, herding sheep. Something you do together. If you only walk her she will need 2 one hour walks per day — believe me you will both be happier with a one hour walk and a training session each day for her “job” than those 2 one hour walks each day.
Next you need to crate train her. Get a very strong crate and watch a video on YouTube about how to get your dog to love a crate – Zak George has a few good videos, just put zak george in the YouTube search and they will pop right up. Crate your dog at night and when you leave the house. You might also want to consider an outdoor kennel run for her when you aren’t home. A good dog is one that managed in such a way that they don’t have the opportunity to do bad things like eating pillows.
Next you have to find things that you dog can chew and give her 2 things to chew per day. I suggest Kongs – stuff them with good stuff like peanut butter and bananas, some of her dog food, green tripe, etc and freeze it so she has to work to get the stuffing out. This will satisfy her need to chew. Avoid any bone that has been cooked or smoked! Antlers aren’t too good for their teeth either if she tries to break off pieces. Raw hip joints are good if you can find them (the ball part at then end of the leg bones – look for them at a butcher shop). -
Edyta Blysk Thanks for the suggestions! Yea we agree she needs something to do. We’ve found she doesn’t like balls, frisbees kongs, peanut butter or bananas. We tried having her do an agility course at a dog park that’s 30 min from us but she wouldn’t leave our side. Guess we just need to show her a couple times how to do it. Not sure where we could find something for her to herd but that might work. We think she may be constipated again and in pain because she’s not excited about walks, is lethargic and hasn’t eaten in 24hrs. We’re looking for toys that engage her. Every treat and toy we’ve gotten her she hides in the couch and buries it under the blanket.

Debbie Harris Sounds like the dog has abandonment issues try giving her socks or her own blanket
do you play with him? my boy used to attack my ankles, back when i first brought him home. turned out he was bored. got a bunch of interactive toys and started playing with him and he mellowed out nicely.
this is, of course, assuming that he’s clear of any medical issues. he’s been to the vet recently, right? 🙂
How old is he? I would also say that he is bored. Especially male cats play more rough then females. As humans don’t have thick fur to protect them, it hurts us more than other cats, if they play with us like they would with other cats.
I would also say to play alot with him. Best thing would be another cat companion if he lives alone. That way he can really play like cats do with each other.
But first you need to check if he has medical issues. Sometimes pain can cause such an behaviour.,
