If she’s vomiting frequently and urinating frequently, I worry about something like an infection. Please get her to the vet now.
Shadow has submissive urination. He was abused as a puppy we believe by men so hes a little more nervouse around my boyfriend. Recently he’s been yelping and nipping for no reason. My boyfriend went upstairs to grab some stuff and shadow was infront of the door and as he opened it shadow began yelping and snaped at him again while leaveing a trail of pee behind. Shadow is my world and i am his. Hes a damn good dog and very loyal. But if this continues he’ll have to go. Any help or advice would be much apriciated. Thank you.

6 yr old cat vomiting and urinating a lot but she still has her appetite
HI THERE, MY DOG HAS EPILEPSY. HE IS ON POTASSIUM BROMIDE AND PHENOBARBITAL. GERMAN SHEPHERD. SINCE STARTING MEDS HE HAS GAINED 45 POUNDS. HE HAS ATAXIA, WHICH IS GETTING PRETTY BAD. WE DECIDED TO SWITCH HIM TO A DIET DOG FOOD TO HELP HIM LOSE WEIGHT, SO THAT WE COULD ULTIMATELY LOWER HIS MEDICATION DOSAGE. OUR VET CONCURRED. SHE DID NOT MENTION THAT CHANGING HIS DIET WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE SALT LEVELS BECAUSE OF THE BROMIDE HE WAS TAKING. AS SOON AS WE SWITCHED HIS FOOD HE STARTED SEIZING. HE HAS HAD ABOUT 7 OVER THE LAST 2 DAYS (HE WAS SEIZURE FREE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS). WE LIKE THE NEW FOOD WE PICKED BECAUSE IT IS BETTER QUALITY (FROMM) AND DOES NOT HAVE ROSEMARY EXTRACT, WHICH HAS BEEN LINKED TO SEIZURES. BUT WE DON’T KNOW IF WE SHOULD STOP IT AND GO BACK TO HIS OLD FOOD, OR HOW TO TRANSITION BACK/FORWARD. HE WAS PREVIOUSLY ON NUTRO LARGE BREED ADULT FOOD. I CANNOT FIND THE CHLORINE CONTENT FOR NUTRO, BUT THE CHOLINE CHLORIDE CONTENT FOR FROMM IS 2887.63 IU/KG (71.47 IU/100 CAL). I DON’T TRUST MY VET ANYMORE TO ASK HER, AS THEY HAVE NOT TOLD US ANYTHING ABOUT BROMIDE AND SALT LEVELS. I HAVE HAD TO RESEARCH ALL OF THIS ON MY OWN, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO VETERINARY TRAINING. APPARENTLY, GOOGLE IS MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN MY DOG’S VET. IF SOMEONE COULD ADVISE US ON NEXT STEPS WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. WE WANT A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR DOG, ONE WHERE HE DOESN’T SLIDE HIS BACK LEGS DOWN THE STAIRS AND FALL DOWN BECAUSE HIS BACK LEGS ARE TOO WEAK. SO WE KNOW THAT A DIET AND LIFESTYLE CHANGE IS IMPORTANT. BUT WE NEED SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE THE CHANGES, AND HOW FAST/ HOW TO TRANSITION, BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE CHANGE HIS DIET IT APPEARS TO TRIGGER SEIZURES (WE SWITCHED HIM TO LIQUID BROMIDE BACK IN MARCH AND RIGHT AWAY HE GOT CLUSTERS AND ENDED UP IN EMERGE AND SEVERELY MEDICATED FOR A FEW DAYS). WE DON’T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN, SO WOULD PREFER TO FIX THIS ON OUR OWN. BASICALLY, I’M ASKING, SHOULD I GO OUT TOMORROW MORNING AND PICK UP HIS OLD DOG FOOD AND SWITCH HIM BACK COLD TURKEY? OR SHOULD WE STICK WITH THE NEW BETTER FOOD AND SEE IF HE GETS USED TO IT AND THE SEIZURES STOP? OR SHOULD I BUY HIS OLD FOOD AND MIX IT WITH THE NEW FOOD FOR A WHILE, AND WILL THIS EVEN HELP? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO? THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR TIME. “

Lindsey Knouse Hi, You can type more in a different section, that is just the title of the post. It sounds like he is in a lot of pain or discomfort, please get him examined by a vet.

Dawn Ferara, DVM There is really not enough information to identify the exact cause of his pain. However, my recommendation is to see a vet as soon as possible obviously he is in pain and needs to be treated.
My 7 week old kitten Emma has a really round stomach and i think there is something in there should i be worried?
She also is refusing to eat her food we got puppy replacer formula that and water is all she will take besides wanting her beggin treats is this ok
My 10 mon old Blue Nose Pit/Bull Mastiff Pup just gave birth to her only pup June1st He doesn’t nurse very long Is this normal We do put him back to mom’s teat when he cry’s and he eats but not long
She was prescribed amoxicillin and a hypoallergenic food. She doesnt want to eat or drink water on her own. I’ve been giving water to her in a syringe but she’s not getting better. What should I do?
Hi, my dog’s face is very swollen looking, he keeps leaving the room where people are, and rubbing his face on the ground and itching his face. He keeps getting up and moving constantly and has a pink rash. Any idea what might be wrong?

Lindsey Knouse It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. Was he outside or came inside and it started happening? Did he receive any medications recently? If it gets bad it can progress. Benadryl may help but if it’s bad, but he may really need injectable medications so I would recommend taking him to a vet near you. Make sure he is breathing ok.
My puppy was acting fine last night. Today she keeps whining if you move her, pees herself, and she cant walk, when she tries shes frantic about it, falls over alot and lays back down.
Have you gotten him to a vet to rule out anything medical? Have you hired a veterinary behaviorist to help you deal with this?
We don’t have a lot of money i can’t hire any body. I cant afford to do any of that. And i know none of it is medical related.
Honestly, Alex, if you’re unwilling to find a way to make this work, maybe finding him another home is the best thing for him.
He very well COULD have something medically wrong. How do you know he doesn’t?
How in the world can you have a dog for 5 years and even consider getting rid of him because of a man? Will this boyfriend be around in 5 years? You can bet the dog will be if you don’t ruin his life by sending him back out into the world of rescue. You are correct, you are Shadow’s entire world – it would be wonderful if he was as important to you as some man. Dogs are not disposable.
