My 19 Y/o Dog Has Kidney Disease. He Is On A Rx Low Protein…

My 19 y/o dog has kidney disease. He is on a rx low protein kidney diet food & has started to experience discomfort. Wondering if hemp product w/ 23% protein (Canna-Pet) would be better or worse on his kidneys than Tramadol rx’d by vet.

I Have A 1 1/2 Year Old Male Cat. As A Kitten He Was Given…

I have a 1 1/2 year old male cat. As a kitten he was given all of his injections, was neutered and chipped. After then he was allowed to go outside for several hours at a time. we use a flea repellent drop on him monthly and he is wormed every 3 months in accordance with the packet directions. He enjoys being outside and always stays close to home, returning when shouted in. My partner is concerned that allowing him to go outside is significantly reducing his life span and is bad for his health, but he enjoys being allowed outside. Would you advise that it would be better for the cat to be kept indoors rather than allowed out during the daytime?

    Outdoor cats have shorter lifespans than indoor cats.  You cannot guarantee he is safe from accident and injury, and he may very well pick up worms, other parasites, and disease.

    I wouldn’t let him outside.  If you do, keep him on a leash and stay outside with him.  This is safest.

    It doesn’t really affect it much, it can knock of 1-2 years of a cats like though. I just think it’s dangerous for them to be out because of other hazards such as, cars, other people, and other cats, even some toxic plants, but if it’s a backyard I think that it’s perfectly safe, but honestly it all comes down to opinion.

    Cats never just stay in a backyard.

Hi, I’m Staying At A Friends House And She Has A Bird. She Just Went…

Hi, I’m staying at a friends house and she has a bird. She just went to sleep and I was eating a chips ahoy chocolate chip cookie and I see her give the bird human food all the time so I have the bird about a third of the cookie. I’ve been reading a lot of articles some saying the a little amount of chocolate is fine and some saying any amount of chocolate can be extremely lethal. I was just wondering if the bird will be alright?

    That’s…not the wisest course of action. What if her bird ends up sick? How will you handle it? Seriously, tell her.

I Have Cleaned Her Eye From The Ooze Which Now She Has Her Eye Opened…

I have cleaned her eye from the ooze which now she has her eye opened but still looks irritated. I do know that the eye she has it in does have cataract. Can I get her an over the counter at the pet store if it dry eye? And how many drops do I give her?

    I don’t mess around with eyes – I head to the vet if it’s anything like you describe.  There could be something in the eye causing a problem, and the longer you wait the more risk you take.

    I didn’t read too far into it, but it sounds like it’s toxic if ingested.  I would thoroughly wash the wound again and put a cone on your cat to prevent it from licking the wound.

    Thank you! I’ve throughly washed him, although he hates me now. And making sure he’s drinking plenty. Still being his annoying self, so I think he’s ok!

Hi. My Dog Has Been Puking For Three Days. Mostly At Night After He Has…

Hi. My dog has been puking for three days. Mostly at night after he has drank a couple gulps of water, but always after drinking. He has been to the vet where he was given a penicillin-like medicine that’s white and came with a syringe as well as some pills for nausea. The problem is that my family will be leaving for a cruise soon and this includes close relatives so he will have to stay at a kennel or something. What should I do? Can they take him if he’s sick like this? I’m extremely worried.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t leave while my dog’s that sick.  But that’s just me…this is why I get vacation insurance.

    Call the vet and talk with them about this.  They may have boarding options.

Hi Pawbly, My Sisters Shih Tzu Tobee Has Been Visiting Us For The Week And…

Hi Pawbly, my sisters shih tzu Tobee has been visiting us for the week and his eye is getting a bit ‘weepy.’ I know these dogs can get eye problems easily. I’ve attached a photo. Do you think this weepy eye looks serious? Thanks.

    Hello, I don’t think it looks too bad now. Just clean it out with a tissue every time this happens. If it gets any worse I would bring him to the vet. Good luck!

    Thanks Madelyn, my sister was worried because my (well intentioned) mom has another Shih Tzu, Bentlee, that got an eye infection that started like that and although they kept it very clean, it ended up rupturing because the infection wasn’t being treated. After trying to initially save Bentlee’s eye, and a heavy bill from the emergency clinic, My mother ended up having to have the eye removed. (I didn’t even know they had dog ophthalmologists!) Bentlee is happy and fine these days, but now I help my mother keep the hair trimmed away from the good eye. We kept Tobee’s eye cleaned for the last few days. I’m going to check in with my sister to see how it’s going.

    Thanks Doc! Looks like my sister was able to get him seen by the vet. Luckily the eye isn’t scratched so he’s on some eye medication and antibiotics to clear it up. Thanks for the help!
