Thank you for rescuing! I would plan on a vet visit once they’re open, just to make sure he’s alright. All new pets should be seen within 3 days, anyway.
My 3 month old kitten has diarrhea and can’t control when it goes. The only other animals it has been around is our puppy but he is not sick. What can I do to stop the diarrhea
My dog developed a large verysoft mass on her throat on top of her esophagus seemingly over night she is antsy but is eating

I’ve had my cat Ronnie for 2 years, and never had a problem. He has been neutered and had worm and flee treatment. I havn’t changed his food or his litter. His fur and skin seems fine and healthy and he always eats his food. I just don’t know why he is doing this, and don’t know how to stop it???
my dog got into raw chicken from the garbage last night. today he has thrown up once and salivated a couple times. Right now he is sleeping and has been laying down for an hour. I just want to know if he will be okay

Raine Plant He should be fine. A lot of pet owners feed a raw meat diet and it doesn’t cause harm but since he threw up I would keep a close watch on him. Call the vet if he continues to not be himself.

debra yuhasz Fresh, raw meat will not hurt your dog. Spoiled meat or a misplaced bone can cause all kinds of nasty problems. I lived in Homestead for about 30 yrs. I highly recommend Dr. Gilley. Best dog vet I’ve ever met and less expensive than the rest.

Rachel Norman Hi brianna
My beautiful old spaniel became like this, I don’t want to worry you because I’m not a vet but please get this thoroughly checked out! we took her to a vet and they sent her home (very poor service) but was later rushed in again when we lost her due to cancer ?
Fingers crossed for you xxx
Until recently, he was high energy and playful, despite being underweight. Now he will not play, and lays down immediately if not eating or eliminating. He has also gone from EXTREMELY affectionate to seemingly avoiding physical contact

Anonymous I’d be getting him to the vet. Sounds like he needs it.

Amy Mize Thanks I spent $5,000 on him at the vet since January I was trying to get input from other sources
-
Anonymous Because this is a recent change, it’s warranted.

PK Dennis It sounds to me that he is in pain – the avoiding physical contact. Have you found a Great Dane group? Often things like this are specific to a breed and other Dane owners will point you in the right direction quicker than folks not as familiar with that particular breed. I found a Scottie group on Facebook that has given me tons of help with my new Scottie mix puppy since my first Scot was older when I adopted him.
When I hear about thin dogs that won’t gain weight I immediately think about Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). This is a condition where the dog’s pancreas does not produce sufficient enzymes for the dog to properly digest their food and they can not gain weight no matter how much they eat. The undigested food in their gut leads to pain and and produces very large stool.
Enzyme supplements or feeding raw pancreas (you need to get the whole pancreas and feed it fresh, I believe) is the solution. Here is a link to a Whole Dog Journal article about this: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/12_3/features/Exocrine-Pancreatic-Insuffinciency-in-Dogs_16109-1.html

Sam Brizz Ask on the Facebook page “Great Dane Rescue, Inc” there are a lot of Great Dane owners there with a lot of great knowledge of the breed
I found a kitten today under a car it was about 94 F outside, she looks about 2 weeks old. I fed her small bottle of milk through out the day but she won’t poo or pee. I read online that we have to stimulate them like their mom would so I tried but she just won’t, I don’t know what else to do.
Our cat is about 8 years old, and we got her from the humane society 2 years ago. Her problem is that she poops outside of the litter box frequently. Sometimes she poops in the box, sometimes not, sometimes on the couch, the table, the laundry, the floor, wherever. Never the same place twice. She’s not sick and doesn’t have worms, and she pees in the litter fine. We’ve tried different litter, moving it to different places, and nothing works. We are so confused by this cat! Help if you can please, thank you!

Anonymous Dr. Magnifico often suggests using dirt in the litterbox. I would also have at least one other box on hand…most cats really don’t enjoy pooping where they pee.
-
Michelle Baggett Does the litter box have a cover on it? My vet told me one time that cats can become intolerable of their litter boxes if they are enclosed (have covers on them) no matter how much you scoop or change the litter. That did the trick and did not happen anymore.
I would have gotten her to the vet today when they were open. Sudden masses are usually not good…can mean a tumor or infection.
