My Puppy Is 13 Weeks, For The Past 2 Weeks He Has Been Very Good…
My puppy is 13 weeks, for the past 2 weeks he has been very good! Training well and just being a very good puppy, but the last 3 days he’s been really bad, he’s starting to pee inside again, chew up carpet, growling barking and biting, and just not listening to me and my parter! Is there any reason or anything as to why he’s all of a sudden acting like this?

Krista Magnifico The medication is actually very inexpensive and available over the counter. The exam at my clinic is $50, the coagulation profile blood work is about $100.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your dog. If your dog did get into rat poison it certainly an be fatal. The longer you wait to get help the worse your dogs prognosis is. It is helpful to know what kind of poison he ate. With this information we recommend that you call the pet poison helping and the product manufacturer to get help for your dog. In most cases we pre-emptiness stray dogs on vitamin K supplements to slow or stop the clotting problems that rat poisons kill by. I cannot over emphasize how important it is to get help. I also cannot over empathize how quickly you need to act. Rat poison is a cruel, painful, and awful way to die. No one should ever buy or use this product. There are better, safer ways to manage rats. I suggest a cat, or two. -
Jana Was that a court ruling of some sort that you were told to put him down? Would the vet know about this? How about a different vet, then?

Jana Please define “started vomiting”. You mean multiple times since? Since it’s a weekday, and she seems visibly unwell, I’d see a vet with that.

LEE BOWMAN thank you for responce, yes she vomits white gunk and clear fluid quite regular but full of life when out in garden, will book vet asap.
Hi There- My Dog Basically Got Mauled By Another Dog 2 Weeks Ago. Her Sutures…
Hi there- my dog basically got mauled by another dog 2 weeks ago. Her sutures and staples are to be removed this week. Yesterday she developed a hard lump under her armpit to her chest. She’s limping a bit on that leg, started yesterday and she seems to feel much worse this morning.
I took her in last week to the vet (one week after the incident) because she has a lot of soft fluid build up on her side and belly. The vet said it was due to the trauma and she’s probably moving more and she’s not completely healed.
I’m very concerned about this since its gotten worse so quickly. Can anyone give me input?

Sarah I’m so sorry about your dog! I would call the vet first thing this morning. They’ve seen the patient, already are familiar with exactly what trauma has occurred and where, and will be able to give you advice better than anyone else. Good luck.

Ashley Borrero Thanks. I’m taking her at 11, but I just wanted to do some research before. I appreciate your concern Sarah.

Krista Magnifico An acute swelling after a trauma is often blood or fluid. It needs to be examined and perhaps even aspirated. Often othe modalities like an X-ray or ultrasound are also helpful.
My Dog Has A Lump On Her Snout/mouth And I’m Very Worried. I Have Booked…
My dog has a lump on her snout/mouth and I’m very worried. I have booked to see a vet tomorrow but I won’t be able to sleep tonight because I’m scared it is cancerous. It is the size of a ten cent coin, crusty and red. I’m very scared 🙁
Can someone try to guess what this is?

Krista Magnifico I would guess a histocytoma. But the only way to diagnose is with the vets help

Sarah Just try to keep an eye on him, and when he starts to go for his surgery sight, redirect him as best you can.

Krista Magnifico I have seen people make a cone by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket to put their pets head through. Or you can put a big sock over the leg. Or Elizabethan collars are available at most pet stores
I Have 2 Cats And Sometimes They Clean Each Other. When They Do, They…
I have 2 cats and sometimes they clean each other. When they do, they face each other and cat 1 cleans cat 2’s back area near the tail, and cat 2 cleans near cat 1’s shoulder blades. In the past 6 months, cat 1 has started losing hair between his shoulder blades because cat 2 is chewing his fur while they are cleaning each other. Is there anything I can do to keep her from doing this other than making loud sounds to scare her away from him?

Leah Hay I don’t think there is a way to stop them from doing this, you should just try to stop them when ever you see it happen

How Do I Stop My Dog From Pooping In His Crate And Trying To Escape…
How do I stop my dog from pooping in his crate and trying to escape? He has extreme separation anxiety, which we are working with him on hopefully getting him over. We have to keep him in a crate when we are gone or he destroys the house. He hates being in his crate, and is constantly trying to get out and hurting himself and pooping in his crate and getting it all over him. How do I stop this? He is 3 years old.

Krista Magnifico These cases take a great deal of time, patience and dedication. I would strongly recommend you work wih a trainer daily and ask for assistance from your vet. At my clinic we help these cases by placing them in daycare for a few weeks. The parents drop them off for the day while they are at work and we work on socialization playing and training. It gets them used to being ok without their parents. From there we start crate training. Often we use medications to help in the beginning. There is help. Ask your vet and find a trainer.
Hello,
Certainly it is possible and plausible that there is a medical reason behind this. The only way to know is to see your vet. After that we discuss adequate exercise, diet, training and making sure that your puppy has everything they need to be happy, healthy, and a welcome member of your family. I would like to add that puppies (or any pet at all) are never ever “bad”. They are trying to tell you in the only way that they know how to, that they are frustrated and need something. Usually it is more time, attention, training and exercise. Please be very very patient and understanding and please try to find someone who can articulate what your pup is trying to tell you. This is a crucial age for development, training and a lifelong successful happy relationship together. Get help from a positive reinforcement trainer.
Very best of luck
Please let me know how things go.
Krista
Right now it is really important to create good bond with your pup. This is best done through training, play and walks. Granted, the age and stamina of your puppy dictates the amount of time spent, but it is the quality of that time that is key. Being in tune with your pup is key. A puppy class would be very beneficial for both owner and dog. It is great for socialization, which is very important. It also helps owner with training and is great mentally for the dog. Please be patient during training… if you find you’re getting too frustrated, chances are that your puppy is too. Walk away and try again later. It should be fun for everyone.
Good luck?
