My 6 year old Mini Schnauzer tore her ACL a few years back. Before she had surgery we asked what else could be done. Our vet said either surgery (which cost us 2,000$) or put her down. Is this true? Are there other alternatives? And she may have torn it again(we aren’t sure). What should we do about that?

Is it safe to give a 9 1/2 year old English Bulldog a injection of diazepam5mg/ml inject./midazolam 5mg/ml without any blood work? Would this kill the dog.

“I have a 12 older shred/lab mix I just noticed she has worms in her poop, I also have 4 other dogs I’m not sure about them. Goldie the 12 year poops on the cement that’s how I know it was her. Do I need to de-worm all my dogs or just her?”

my 4 week old pup was diagnosed with puppy strangles, she drained the large lump below his ear, and gave us penicillian, but now the lump is TWICE the size, he keeps sneezing/coughing, having trouble breathing, weak. im scared he gonna die

She has now been vomiting for 2 wks and vet doesnt know what it is. 2 days ago she begun to lose mobility in her hind legs again and now can hardly walk, she is still vomiting and today poo just seems to be falling out of her butt and the outside of her bum looks quite red and swollen. She continues to have an appetite but is understably down in the dumps, as are we!

My dog (8,teckel) was stung near mouth2 days ago by a big bug at my mom’s.
The area where the bug stung was develop into “quail egg” size of swelling (elastic) & she has a some minor breathing problem (ronchi) since then. What should i do?

He is 8 weeks old, weighs just over 200g (his litter mates are all at least 600g) has a very soft and enlarged skull with pupils that face east west. There are no good vets here, certainly no vet specialists. Should I wait until he has gained weight before trying to medicate him (All the drugs can be purchased over the counter here and I am medically qualified) or should I start ASAP to help minimise brain damage? He is already blind. Or is the likely outcome so poor that I should be thinking about euthanasia? He seems happy enough at this point in time but cries a lot in the night and I don’t want him to be in pain.
