Ashley Smith She hid after we got home then about thirty minutes later she came out when I put food out and ate. She played with our older cat for a little bit and then a couple of her cat toys. I recently lost three of my dogs that I’ve had for years and I am paranoid, It sounds like she’s having a side effect.

My Staffie Bitch Keeps Eating Weeds And Grass From Our Back Garden. She Constantly Waits…
My Staffie Bitch keeps eating weeds and grass from our back garden. She constantly waits at the back door as if she needs to go to the toilet. Do you know what’s causing her to behave like this?

Vicki Hamill Nature’s way of dealing with Stomach issues. He’ll throw up shortly and all will be well !!?

B. Lakonpa I’ve read that dogs do this because their ancestors used to eat animals that ate grass so it was part of their diet and now dogs eat grass because of that. I’m not sure how much truth this holds but, nonetheless, it sure is interesting. I think it’s a fairly normal thing. My dogs have never thrown up after eating it.

Jana Zaure, I would never let bloody diarrhea go on this long. The GI tract is clearly in distress; there is such a thing as hemorrhagic gastroenteritis; this is bad and dangerous on its own. Plus there is no way of knowing whether there is an issue with clotting and something even worse can be going on. I’d definitely see a vet.

Jessica Strutko I agree. Bloody diarrhea is always a sign that something is going on in your dogs body. I would call your vet.
Today As Every Day Our Beloved Golden Made A Poop. 3/4 Of Which Was Perfectly…
Today as every day our beloved Golden made a poop. 3/4 of which was perfectly normal.1/4 was yellow and well, watery. He eats normally, drinks, plays, digs, wags his tail. Yesterday he stole a chicken in worcastershire sauce. And on Wednesday we changed their puppy food (we mixed taste of wild with holistic ) – He’s up to date with his vaccines ( (DHPPi2 + lepto – most recent).
We have also a lab, but she is on metronidazole right now. She has ameba – which is very common in Indonesia. He was clean, so he got his second shot on Monday.
Sorry for panicking, but we had a dozens of health issues with our dogs and I’m superscared about dealing with distemper or parvo (again).*
*Our lab had parvo 2 months ago, test – positive. Our golden was parvo negative, but he started to have the same symptoms as our lab 4 days before she did. 3 of 4 vets we encountered said that his test results must have been false negative. Now I’m panicking its parvo again. Should I?
For breakfast they had: puppy food (+ peanut butter + apple on the side) (as always)
for lunch I’m serving rice with chicken and carrot.
Can I do something more??

Lauren Candlish I’m not to sure on how you can stop/treat this but I hope your dogs are ok. The only thing I can suggest after everything you have already tried is, after a big soapy bath, use a flea comb and then put on a spray. I think that combination could definitely make the situation better. I’m assuming you have more than one dog because you said dogs? If that’s the case I think you should have a separate comb for each one so as not to spread fleas and also bath separately if not already. (Also clean the bath after bathing one and then bath the other) if you are still dealing with the fleas perhaps take them to the vet and make sure it is fleas your dealing with. If you manage to rid one of fleas make sure to keep it away from the other dog/s that have fleas so it doesn’t pick them up again. You may already do this stuff and so sorry because then this advice is useless. I hope you manage to get rid of them safely and that your dogs are ok.
Hope this helps 🙂 sorry if it doesn’t 🙁 -
Jamie Mayhew A situation of severe fleas can be tough to completely eliminate. If you have already tried treating your dogs and house but are still suffering you may need to go to the extreme- my suggestion is time consuming, but has worked for me in the past:
Fleas have a cycle and without destroying every stage of the cycle they will just continue to breed and jump straight back on your dogs.
1. Fleas travel so I would treat your whole house (use a good house flea treatment as some can just slow down the process instead of actually killing the fleas- Johnson’s has always worked really well for me). Leave the spray to work for 12 hours without your dogs in the house, otherwise like i said the cycle will carry on.
2. While your house is being treated bathe your dogs- use flea shampoo, but most importantly do not just shower your dogs, after you have shampooed and washed them, fill the bath/ container up to their neck and let them soak for half an hour to an hour ( fleas are difficult to kill but they will drown after this amount of time). Your dogs may not like a long, soaking bath but if it relieves them of the fleas they will feel much mire comfortable.
3. Once your dogs are out of the bath, fully dried and brushed thoroughly, treat them with flea treatment (again some brands do not work as well as others- frontline is vet recommended, and works very well).
4. Let your dog back into the house after 12 hours.
Good luck

Jamie Mayhew It looks like ring worm, which can be transmitted from dog to human (and other species of animals). The vet could best diagnose the skin condition.
Lettuce is generally pretty safe for animals to consume I would be more concerned about any possible fertilizer exposure.
Most lettuce is safe for dogs. Like she said, your concern is the fertilizer, if you’ve used it.
Thank you. No fertilizer used 🙂 I knew lettuce was ok. I was just concerned he ate the stalk part of the plant, not the actual lettuce. Didnt know if different parts of a plant could be toxic to dogs.
