added note he went swimming in the creek yesterday and now his foam looks like algae from the creek in it…..could he have creek water in his lungs? When he lays still no coughing…..when he is active….coughing and retching.
I just found a tiny lump behind the right shoulder of my 3.5 month kitten. How worried should I be?

This was one month ago. Dog got put back on pain meds. He is 10. Forgot to ask if that bone chip was something to consider removing. Vet never discussed the option. Just need to know bc the healing is taking time. Every other day pain med admin. He seems to reinjure or as soon as meds roll off he’s back to pain. But with the meds he acts fine. Is it something else?
I Changed My Bettas Water Two Days Ago And This Morning He Would Not…
Hello,
I changed my bettas water two days ago and this morning he would not dance for me and I noticed his gills have a red tinge to them. He is active other than not dancing for breakfast and doesn’t seem to have difficulty breathing. All my reaserch come up with Ammonia burns but that doesn’t make sense with it happening after a water change instead of in dirty water.
He lives in a 3 gallon bowl that I do a 75%water change on weekly. I put aquarium salt in the water as well as conditioner and let it sit in the same room as his bowl for 2 days. I am very worried about him and need to know how to help him as I am leaving today for the weekend and have to give my mom instructions on how to medicate and care for him.
Please Help!
I have a pet rat shes about 2 years old. One day she was perfectly fine and the next morning we noticed a big lump on the side of her neck. Its getting bigger and is now taking over the side of her face.
After I apply my dogs k9 advantix ii she becomes itchy & rubs her back on the couch for like 2-3 days.other than that I love the stuff it seems to work so my question is, is there an anti itch spray I can use after I apply the k9 advantix

debra yuhasz Your dog is allergic to it. Use a different topical treatment. There are several others you can try.
-
Brittany Knox Is it that she’s allergic or could she just possibly have sensitive skin that causes it to dry her out

Dawn Ferara, DVM I really don’t have an answer it could be an infection (bacterial, fungal or viral), cancer or a traumatic injury (like a burn). My advice is to take him to the vet for an accurate diagnosis. If he stops eating or seems painful it is more important to get him to a vet quicker, however, if he is still eating and not painful he doesn’t need to see the vet as fast.
my rotwiler is vomiting yellow stuff, and is not eating or drinking..

Anonymous No – he needs to be seen before Friday.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Call your vet back and tell them he seems very sick and needs to be seen immediately.
I took my 6 year old saluki lurcher to a drop in clinic today as I had noticed a small raised lump which suddenly appeared next to her vulva. Upon brief examination, the vet suspected a histiocytoma and said that because of the area it was located should be removed as soon as possible. She was spayed in 2013 but has since continued to come on full heat with bleeding and he said that at the same time as she is having the histiocytoma removed, he would like to “open her up” and check to see if part of her uterus has been left in. I am concerned because the last vet that I consulted about this said there could be such a small amount of tissue left in there that it would be impossible to see/remove with surgery and that, provided she was healthy it would be best just to leave alone. I want to do the best for my dogs health but do not want her to undergo unnecessary and potentially dangerous surgery. It will surely be bad enough for her having surgery to remove the lump so close to her vulva without undergoing a spaying operation for the second time, especially now she is getting older? If anyone has any opinion or advice, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Ok I do not agree with either vet entirely. She should be spayed again and it should be done when she comes into heat. It is a remnant of ovary not necessarily uterus, although there is some uterus left to get bleeding.
Not having her spayed she is at a higher chance of breast cancer and can also get an infection in the uteral stump.
Good Luck

Tara Burton Thank you for your reply. I feel reassured that it is in her best interest to get her spayed again. Why should she be spayed when she comes into heat? The vet asked me when she was last on heat, which was almost two months ago, and wanted to go ahead with surgery on Wednesday.
I have a 5/6 week old kitten who, in the last few hours, has had 4 episodes of diarrhea and 1 episode of vomiting. Other than those things, she is behaving as normal. Should I be concerned?
He was vaccinated a clue of weeks ago and he doesn’t have any kind of parasites.
Would he still have a bump a couple of weeks after getting vaccinated?
