She has been to the vet to have a check up. Everything looked fine. She’s still nursing them and cleaning them but is spending less time with them as of today. She has no symptoms of illness (fever, panting, twitching, etc).

I have a 13 year old boxer my question is what would it mean if his testicle look like one
Should I be concerned that when my 1 year old quarter horse trots, he gurgles… it may be normal, but I’m not sure.

Kelly Furgason Hello,
What do you mean by gurgles? From his mouth? He makes sounds?
~Kelly -
Cassandra Danyluk I don’t know if it’s from his mouth or his gut. I guess I should have been more specific, by gurgles, I meant when he runs there is this bur ur ur ur ur noise- on every stride. And I know it’s not burping because horses can burp. Thank you for your help! @KellyFurgason

Charley Burton I have a 15 year old quarter horse, and when he trots he make a sort of gurgly noise too, I think its normal
my horse is just under 2, and he is a quarter horse. It doesn’t seem to bother him, and he can run just fine. but like i said, it is progressively getting better.
my 8yo chuihuahua ate a dead mouse…I would say the rodent has been dead more than a day or 2.
I have 2 kids under 4 years of age. how concerned should I be of #1 the dog getting worms, rabies, etc and #2, of us humans contracting anything? I put the dog in isolation with food water and a bed to be on the safe side…
My pet rabbit keeps eating his plastic water bucket, what should I do? Is he gonna be ok
I lost my other dog a month ago who had the same symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with unidentified gastrointestinal bleeding. He was 13 years old, I gave him two blood transfusions, x-rays and ultrasounds and they couldn’t find anything. It is strange that my other dog now has similar symptoms. His bloodwork seems to be pretty okay, though.

Debbie Harris First go to a different vet get the records from the vet or tell the new vet where you took the other dog and he can request them. If it were me I’d get recommendations for vet. before choosing one. I would definitely not go to the same vet.

Dana Schumacher Thank you for the advice. I did plan on taking him back to that vet but they are an emergency specialized hospital only and do not take appointments. I was going to wait a a couple days to see if the medicine (sucralfate and metronidazole) helped him before going to emergency. He did get into the bathroom garbage and throw up some gross things (i wont go into gross details) prior to getting the melena.
My dog has been throwing up clear fluid but I was just near her and she threw up a thick white-yellowish consistency. I don’t know what could be going on with her? I hate to say this but I can’t afford to take her to the vet right now

I have a Shitsu mix names Ace. He’s so adorable and it breaks my heart when he doesn’t let me keep him that way. He doesn’t let me brush him AT ALL. He runs away as soon as he sees a brush and when I try to brush him he bites me and starts crying. Now, mostly around the neckline, he’s a tangled mess and when I try to cut it off with scissors he reacts the same way. I can’t afford to take him to the groomers so I don’t know what to do now…
Try taking her for walks or if she likes to go for car rides do that. To answer your question yes dogs just like humans can get depressed.What Are the Symptoms of Dog Depression?
Dog depression symptoms are very similar to those in people, said John Ciribassi, DVM, past president of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. “Dogs will become withdrawn. They become inactive. Their eating and sleeping habits often change. They don’t participate in the things they once enjoyed.”
But vets warn those symptoms also can mean a dog has a medical problem, so the first course of action should always be a full checkup by a veterinarian. A pet that mopes around and no longer wants to go for walks could simply have pain from arthritis, Beaver says.
If nothing else works, medications can help dogs get past their depression. Karen Sueda, DVM, a diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, said medications for depressed dogs are the same as those used by depressed humans — Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft. She also uses Clomicalm, an FDA approved drug for the treatment of separation anxiety in dogs.
Hope this helps
Her appetite is great! She had her calcium tested (and a full blood panel run) a couple of days ago to be sure and it was perfect. I know it can change though. She is feeding them she just seems really sad and is spending more time away from them. She was so attentive the first few days and would literally sprint back to them after a quick trip outside. She is also trying to nest again like just before she gave birth and she just looks sad. But she does go check on them if they make too much noise and she still cleans them and nurses them. She’s never really too far away but just seems depressed.
Thank you! She does love her walks so we have been increasing them the last couple of days. I’ve also been spending time sitting in her crate (it’s huge and has a removable top) petting her and encouraging her while she nurses. It seems to have made a little difference but she still just looks so sad.
She did get a full check up including labs done and everything was perfect.
