I haven’t had him long, my mother in law died and we inherited him. He has pooped 3 times. Once it was quite a bit, but he is still in a lot of pain. I spent the only money I could do to take him to vet hospital and now I’m over drawn.
My cat received a prednisone shot due to licking of hair on chest. Behavior has changed within the week. Eats only wet food and is sleeping on the stairs and rug in the basement. Seems very depressed. She won’t eat snacks or dry food.

Species: Dog
Age: 4
Sex/Neuter status: Not neutered
Breed: Weimaraner
Body weight: 66lbs
History: He started showing sings of what appeared to be the mange at 3 y-o. Before this he was completely healthy and hadn’t had any sorts of trouble or illnesses. He was taken to 4-5 different vets and he had some studies done where they determined he had staphylococcus aureus on his skin. Most of them agreed that it was mange and suggested the following treatments (at different times, to no avail):
* Inyected clindamycin
* Ciprofloxacin tablets
* Cephalosporin (don’t know if tablets or capsules)
* Omega 3 and 6
* B complex and casein shots
* Shampoo with amitraz
* Florfenicol .6% spray
* Aluspray
* Antisebhorreic shampoo
And he is currently on an hypoallergenic salmon diet with special food.
Clinical signs:
* Weight loss
* Very swollen paws and skin in general
* Hair loss
* Loss of appetite
* Ulcers
* Lethargic
* Some fever here and there
* Redness in his eyes
Here are some pictures of him http://imgur.com/a/FgYiT
This is him a couple of months after it started a year ago http://i.imgur.com/whXOmQs.jpg

What could this be? What can we do for him? We’ve tried everything and it seems like nothing works and we’re scared to death. We want him to get better.

I tooky dog to vet hospital on Friday night and they said he was constipated. They gave him stool softer and he has pooped 3 times and he’s still in a lot of pain. Can someone tell me what to do please?
I think my dog has an ear infection. Is there any home remedy that I can do for her until we see a vet?
The first 2 days started with a large amount of vomit early in the a.m. not normal fur ball vomit but a watered down milk consistency with fur in it. Day 3 brought on vomiting throughout the day and refusal to eat. Also stopped using the bathroom. Day 4 vomit is yellow in color now still with fur, still refusing to eat, still hasn’t used the bathroom. Just sleeps and vomits. What can I do?
My 5 month old puppy has a decreased appeitite for the last 5 days and had stopped eating since last night and only drinks a little water and vomits clear liquid. Please help.

Jamie Rutherford I’ve lost a dog to parvo, and this is exactly what happened with her.
Actually, we lost 5 dogs on my block because of it.
Please get your pup some medical attention asap!
If you can’t this very minute, offer him pedialite to keep him hydrated until you can(still get him in ASAP!)

I Recently Took In A Stray Dog On Friday. He Was Very Malnourished But…
Hi,
I recently took in a stray dog on Friday. He was very malnourished but other than his big belly he seemed perfectly fine. He was playful and didn’t act sick. On Saturday night he began to throw up his dog food. (Purina One). I started feeding him only liquid foods. I gave him Tomato soup mixed with chicken broth and pepto. On Sunday I started to notice blood in his poop so I believe he has Parvovirus. I don’t have enough money to bring him to the vet and I am afraid of him dying. I am trying to keep him hydrated by giving him Gatorade raw eggs and a pepto pill dissolved in water. Is there any other home remedies that will get him well?
She is six months I’ve tried many things with her litterbox she was spayed last Tuesday and got a rabies vaccination I just changed her food three days ago but she has puked a few times two months or more ago she also seems a tad bit friendlier
He already had bloodwork and nothing showed up, in the skin scrape they just detected bacteria and in the skin biopsy they caught the staphyloccocus aureus. No fungi in any of those.
He was also seen at a vet teaching hospital by both students and doctors and most of them agreed on mange and one has been studying his case closely to no avail.
They are not in the US and not anywhere close to a border city at all. We are desperate which is why I’ve come here to ask online since we’ve taken it to plenty different vets on the city and outside the city and spent amounts on the thousands to get him better, which is not a problem because we love him but we are truly worried and aside from the staphyloccocus aureus on his studies, nothing else has shown.
They’ve urged their vet and themselves which is why they’ve gone to so many different providers and have tried all the treatments as prescribed to no avail.
