She was prescribed amoxicillin and a hypoallergenic food. She doesnt want to eat or drink water on her own. I’ve been giving water to her in a syringe but she’s not getting better. What should I do?
Hi, my dog’s face is very swollen looking, he keeps leaving the room where people are, and rubbing his face on the ground and itching his face. He keeps getting up and moving constantly and has a pink rash. Any idea what might be wrong?

Lindsey Knouse It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. Was he outside or came inside and it started happening? Did he receive any medications recently? If it gets bad it can progress. Benadryl may help but if it’s bad, but he may really need injectable medications so I would recommend taking him to a vet near you. Make sure he is breathing ok.
My puppy was acting fine last night. Today she keeps whining if you move her, pees herself, and she cant walk, when she tries shes frantic about it, falls over alot and lays back down.
My dog ate a bunch of grapes ( more than 15) and now she’s grunting and swallowing. Will she be ok?

I’m training a service dog for my friend’s father, since I have experience training therapy and emotional support dogs and they didn’t have the money to get one. She’s doing well, but doesn’t understand that her harness means she’s working. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Anonymous when you work on training, is she in the harness? describe your usual training routine with all tools.

Ash Scism When we begin our training, she sits and let’s me put her harness on her. We then work on whatever we need to work on (right now she’s doing stay and come). We use positive reinforcement and treats. We usually move into the backyard before the end of each training session. But as soon as we’re done training, she goes insane. She’ll start running in circles and going back and forth across the yarf before settling down and letting me take her harness off. And while she’s doing this, she will not listen to me when I tell her to calm down or sit. Other than that, she does really good with it, and she’s a really fast learner and has the sweetest temperament, so I would hate to have to pick a different dog for his service dog. But I also know that if she keeps doing this, I’ll have to.

Anonymous How old is she?
Was she selected for SD work by the breeder?

Ash Scism She is only 5 months old. I picked her myself along with my friend (the one who’s father is getting the service dog) according to some small tests (retrieving, recovery from being startled, following, etc.). She’s actually from a rescue however, but I spoke to her foster who told us that she personally thought she would do good work. She aced all of our tests as well.

Anonymous sounds like she’s being a puppy. 😉
My puppy is 11 months old I’m sure i dog go through puberty but her nipples are hard and red
Hi, I have a 16 year-old female Chihuahua/Lhasa-Apso who has been prone to seizures for several months and has been taking medication to prevent this. However; several days ago she had a convulsion – and since then, she has had an increase in jitters, seems mostly unresponsive to petting, has lost appetite, her tail is nearly always limp, and she appears lethargic.
On top of this, she also sounds as though she has fluid/mucus in her lungs, as she takes raspy deep-breaths every now and then. Since this morning, she has begun coughing up clear/bubbly + thick fluid every so-often, is refusing to drink/eat/ take seizure medication.
Her last check-in with the vet indicated that cancer was not present (At least, in her organs) and her blood did not indicate high cholesterol or diabetes.
Given the symptoms listed, what do you believe my dog is suffering from, and is there any medication/preventative measures I can treat my dog with to combat this illness?
Thanks 🙂

Brayden Poole Dog has almost made a full recovery over the last few day. After discussing with my vet, this can occur if she doesn’t take her medication or vomits it up, as well as if she had eaten food that is high in protein. I think that she must have vomited her pill up, and as such we’ve been increasing her dosage until we’re certain she’s completely well again. On top of that, we’ve changed her diet slightly by removing kangaroo meat from her food and only using white meat. The food we give her is always home-made and has been approved by the vet. Sadly, due to my dog’s conditions and already prescribed medication, if this were to occur again, the best they could prescribe is either antibiotics or, if it gets very bad, we may have to have her put down.
However, like I said earlier, she is back to her normal and happy self, demanding food and is playing madly with our other dog. Thanks for your comment 🙂
my dog is vomiting yellow mucus has a dry nose, no appetite is drinking some water but not a lot and is moping. what should I do?
Based on your other post, I worry about infection. A friend’s dobe bitch lost almost an entire litter from bad milk as a result of an infection. Get them both to the vet NOW…and please plan her spay, she was entirely too young to have a puppy.
