If he has a bothersome ear, it COULD be a foreign body inside the ear but it could also be an ear infection. Please get him to the vet.
When we arrived home from work, there was a grease can in the living room he had gotten into. Unless it is a major coincidence, we believe that he ingested who knows how much. Are these symptoms normal for grease ingestion in a small dog? He has had no diarrhea at all, and only vomited one time. The other times he is dry heaving it kind of sounds like he is wheezing

He’s chubby and I don’t notice any weight loss. He still eats as usual. He does drink a lot of water. They said to listen to his heart to see if it sounds “like a washing machine”. I have no idea! Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t see the vet until monday. Am I freaking out over nothing? I need to know how serious this is.
My dog was breathing really hard when I got home, expresses pain towards her rear end, won’t let me touch her tail, is gassy, threw up earlier and it had a quarter of an unchewed rawhide bone in it, now she’s very lethargic, walking around in pain, her breathing is shallow and is having spasms on her bed, she’s an otherwise healthy 3 and a half year old catahoula American bulldog mix…..
MY cat has been sick for 5 days with a fever. No vomiting no diarrhea except for a little on the second day. He has a fever, he’s drinking a lot, lethargic, not grooming. I took him to a vet who gave him something for the fever and an antibiotic shot. He’s eating and drinking which is good but the fever is not going down. The vet prescribed Fevadol which has paracetamol in it. We are in a country with no good vets and no real access to pet medication, but everything I have read says that paracetamol is poisonous to cats. I would give anything for him to get better, but there are no vets that I trust here and I am so confused on what to do. He’s obviously fighting an infection but the vet said he doesn’t seem to have a URI, he has no signs in his chest and no discharge from eyes or nose. I just don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart watching him in pain. please help.
He’s a 4 year old male.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Normally I would tell you to follow the doctor’s instructions but it seems paracetamol is acetometaphin which is very toxic to cats!!! However, without examining your cat it is impossible for me to really give you any advice. My recommendation is to try and find a vet you trust because your cat needs treatment.
Good luck

D A Thank you for your response. I know he needs treatment, I am very scared for him, but as I said there are no reliable vets here. Is there something over the counter that could bring down his fever?

Dawn Ferara, DVM No there really isn’t.
She’s already had two healthy kittens and has a couple more inside of her but we think the one that is coming out is stuck and she had been pushing on the same one for there hours
my poor boy has a horrible dry hacking cough, although I haven’t taken his temp he feels quite warm, his been extremely tired all day has gotten up maybe three times today at most. He didn’t eat all his dinner either today which is unusual
i am not an expert, but i think you should take him to vet immediately
