He’s an indoor cat, escaped few days ago and I believed he fell in the drain behind my house because he came back full of dirt. I think he might have hurt his leg jumping out of the drain. He’s not limping, didnt show any sign of hurt at first but when I tried to lift him up he got angry, when I checked his front leg, it didnt feel broken and he got really grumpy when I touch it. He’s still eating/drinking but less than usual. He’s also pretty moody and lethargic, less playful.
He also has been panting and having periods of breathing rapidly which tend to happen with him. He is eating and walking and going to the bathroom normally. He suffers from hip dysplacia and arthritis but I cant tell if it is pain related. The concerning thing is the labored breathing.
Is there anything I can give for kennel cough since I cannot get to the vet tonight?
My 1 year old dog got spayed a month ago and just last week I saw two small fluid-filled bumps right on her spay incision. Im pretty sure they are seromas. I have tried restricting her activity for days but she can be a very hyper dog. One of the seromas is leaking clear-ish fluid and Im freaking out as I dont know if it is a big concern or if I should take her to a vet?
Just incase I cant get into my vet – what should I do to treat this? And how do I know if this is infected?
My dog almost ate the pit of a peach, he didn’t eat the actual pit but he was trying to bite it and got a tiny piece of the outer shell, will he be okay should I watch his reaction?

What medication will help please?
Hi Dr Krista; My 13 Y OMouserJr is still doing well I’ve lowered his insulin to 1 unit every 12 hours today 7/27/16 he was tested before breakfast and at 93. 6 hours later after both breakfast and lunch he was at 109 ! Without insulin.
When the second one passed we had a necropsy done and sent off samples to A&M. Those tests came back with a virulent strain of parvo. One of the dogs I lost had bloodwork drawn the day symptoms started and WBC count was completely normal. All dogs were UTD on vaccines and I Booster ed all of them, just to cover my bases, after the first one passed. All of these dogs were over 6 months of age.
I have asked my vet for answers and she does not have any. She has told me to continue doing what I am, which is bleaching everything, inside and our and watching my other dogs. She gave me antibiotics for my other dogs for 5 days, which are now completed. She says there are still 7 days left for symptoms to appear. Being a former vet tech, I have also ordered Parvosol-II-RTU-Disinfectant to spray down everything that cannot handle bleach. I am beside myself because none of this seems to make complete sense. I am not a person who does well not knowing why nothing adds up and not being able ensure my dogs are safe.
My cat has brown liquid coming out her mouth and she sometimes opens and closes her mouth like she’s eating. She also smells because she’s not able to clean herself. What does it mean?
