    I’m sorry to hear about your cat. This cannot be answered without an in person exam and review of the radiographs. I strongly recommend that you seek a specialists help and give her rest in a cage so she cannot hurt herself further.

  2. Zhai Hui

    I know that. But here in Indonesia, we don’t have any specialist. So idk what to do again now.

    maybe you can help me to interpret these xray results? I add another xray from different position. So i hope you can help me by giving a good interpretation of my cat’s results here

My Serbian Husky Is Throwing Up Constantly. Today She Has At Least Throwed Up 20…

My Serbian Husky is throwing up constantly. Today she has at least throwed up 20 times. I just recently got her 3 days ago. She’s 5 years old. Her stomach cringes and she will stop gagging then a puddle of slimy clear liquid with a little foam like substance will come out. After she eats she throws it up and you can see the food and it looks like it hasn’t been chewed up. When it does this, it’s ALOT. It’s really white and foamy. I have no clue what it is and I’m freaking out!

    Has she ate anything new? Like change of food or new treats? Human food? Are you feeding her the same foods her last owner fed her?

  2. Britney Kidd

    She has parvo.. 🙁 I got her medicines today!

  3. Krista Magnifico

    She should go immediately to the closest emergency clinic. They will examine your dog, provide injectable anti nausea medications and even sedate your dog so the vomiting stops and the tissue can begin to heal. I also get extremely concerned that these cases might be something like gdv/bloat, obstruction, toxin, or disease. Any dog who vomits more than a few times, or has intractable vomiting needs a vet immediately.

  4. Sarah

    I’d get to a vet as soon as possible. Simply because if she isn’t keeping anything down at all, dehydration will become a serious issue. The vet can get fluids into her and then better assess the situation. Good luck.

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?

    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?

    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.

    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?

    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.

  2. 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.

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

  2. 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

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.

    I’ve even tried giving him benadryl to calm him down and it doesn’t seem to help

  2. 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.

My Six Month Old Pitbull Has A Large Hematoma After A Routine Neuter. He Was…

My six month old pitbull has a large hematoma after a routine neuter. He was fine with no swelling for two days after the surgery, but day three his scrotum started swelling. We took him into the vet who explained it was normal for some dogs and sent us home with some sedatives to stop his moving around and told us to monitor. Later that day, the scrotum swelled to the size of a medium to large orange. We returned, and we’re given antibiotics just in case, as there was no evidence of fever to indicate infection. The next day, he the wound started draining, a pink substance likely blood mixed with some other bodily fluid. The suture area looks fairly normal, just a small amount of redness and swelling, and the fluid smells of iron, not infected. We were advised to place a warm compress on for a few minutes a couple of times a day, but our pup won’t let us near the area. He is a sweet dog, but the sedatives combined with the pain are causing him to snap at us when we go near the back legs. He refuses to even sit down for hours at a time. Do you have any advice for how to help him through this? My wife and I work 8-9 hours during the day, though we have family that stops by for a few hours at a time to watch him. I’m just worried that he is in so much pain he won’t let us help him heal.

    Hello,
    These cases do happen. They usually resolve on their own in about a week. If you cannot treat him at home see if you can drop him off at your vets to stay for the day while you are at work. Good luck. It will go down. It will just be an awful 5 days of waiting. And ps I have seen them cantaloupe size. Ouchie!!

My puppy suddenly stopped eating. She will sniff the food then walk away, normally she gets excited if she just sees me open the door to the closet with her food in it. I have to literally beg her to eat.

    How young is the puppy? What breed? The smaller the dog the more urgent it is to take care of it. Is there any chance she ate a piece of a toy or something she shouldn’t? Is she behaving normally otherwise, playing, running etc, or also seem quiet? These are measures of whether you need to see a vet right now or tomorrow morning. I would definitely not wait any longer than that. If she’s also lethargic, starts vomiting, gets diarrhea or any other signs of trouble, if she’s very young and/or very small, I’d seek a vet today.
