Just took him to the vet, and they found that the scratch on his tail was bigger than we thought and the thing sticking out was nerve tissue!

Fortunately they bandaged him up, gave him an antibiotic, and he’s going to be okay.

I would not use dog shampoo because depending on the active ingredient it could be toxic to the cats body.  Instead of taking chances I would just not use it unless it’s labeled for cats.  

Hi Ashley, your dog got into the biscuits did he! 

Depending on how many hes eaten look out for him throwing up, loose runny stools and obvious stomach bloating and pain. 

If he gets these 3 symptoms you need to take him to a Vet. Hopefully he will be alright but go easy on feeding him especially today and tomorrow. It takes up to 48 hours for food to go through a dogs system and it would be wise to let all these biscuits pass through before you give him more food on top. 

Hope hes ok! 

Nothing happen and they still acted like themselves

It takes time for a new dog to get used to his new people and surroundings. They all do it at their own pace. I strongly urge you to consult a behavioral trainer so that you introduce him and socialize him the best way possible especially since he’s an older dog that can easily have a lot of baggage. Meanwhile, just love him, give him time to trust you. As your relationship grows and he sees you as his leader, protector and family he will be more likely to trust others and situations that he is placed in with you. All these wonderful things that we share with our pets take time and a lot of patience. I just adopted a 2.5 year old Great Dane, we love him dearly. He wasn’t socialized well, if at all, and he can be a lot to handle, he’s having to “learn” how to play in an acceptable manner with our other dogs and even with us just throwing a ball. Just remember that coming to your home, even with all your love, is a huge adjustment to him. It takes the average dog about 6 weeks to acclimate to their new surroundings and begin to feel calm and secure in their new home with their new people. Trainers with behavioral expertise can give you tons of advice, to-dos, not to-dos and offer you a world of information. I can promise you that a consultation with one will help you to understand things we never thought about with adopted dogs – you will learn so much and it will help you bond even faster. I can tell you that time will change things and that you can never have a more devoted dog than one who has been rescued. Wishing you much luck and love with your new baby.

i’d get him in, particularly if it’s anywhere near teeth.

a vet would really need to take a look at it to truly determine what it is.

Sorry about your pup!! Well, first, go to a rescue and get a puppy there! Most of the time, they have been vaccinated and have had a parvo shot! All puppies should have had their first set of vaccinations before you bring them home. Most are dewormed too and its all included in the adoption price. There is no guarantee. My rescue puppy had parvo too, at 7 weeks old, he was sick two day after I brough him  home, but my vet saved his life and he survived.  He is 8 years old now. Just make sure you know where you’re getting your puppy from. No pet shops! Best place is a rescue! Good luck!

what else are you feeding her?  has she been to a vet?

hmm. that definitely doesn’t sound like enough. i’d take her to the vet to see if there’s something else wrong.

have you offered her pinkies?
