My dog got bit by a huge mouse outside and started bleeding, he seemed fine by licking off the blood and eating, but im worried, could there be diseases transmitted? Can i clean the wound somehow? Thank you.

    A washcloth with warm soapy water should be used to clean the wound. Some diseases are transmitted by mice and could be problematic please contact your vet.

She Is A Bengal, Approx 1 Year Old, De Sexed And Lives With A Male…

She is a Bengal, approx 1 year old, de sexed and lives with a male tabby 5 years old also desexed. They are both healthy indoor cats. There have been no other behavioural changes, she’s very affectionate, eating and drinking well. No more or less than usual. The urine stains don’t show any signs of discolouration and don’t smell unusual or different from the other cat’s.

    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.

    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.

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???

    Sudden changes in urination (location, frequency, etc.) could mean a UTI, ESPECIALLY in tomcats.  Please get him to the vet for a urinalysis.

    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.

    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.

    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…

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

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

  2. Amy Mize

    Thanks I spent $5,000 on him at the vet since January I was trying to get input from other sources

    Because this is a recent change, it’s warranted.

    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

    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
