I would take ur dog to ur vet and make sure.
Can 1 dog get an ear infection from another dog? She didn’t have an ear infection 3 days ago when I took her to the vet. That day I let her mother come over & spend the night for a play date & she has ear infections in both ears & 1 is really bad. The owner doesn’t take care of the mother like I do my dogs. BJ’s has a tendency to get ear infections so I have medicated wash & a RX on hand for her. I wash her ears out once a week, but this morning her ear is red and she’s scratching it. I started her redgiment again & put her cone collar on so she doesn’t scratch.
I wouldn’t be thinking this if she hadn’t just seen her vet for her 6 months check up and nothing was wrong with her ears.
My dog had an ear infection that lasted for 3 months about 9 months ago. She went back 6 months ago for some more meds & got rid of it then. She’s 14 months old and a Corkie

Took my dog for a walk and she got termite all over how do I get rid of them? And are they harmful?
My boxer had his eye removed a few years ago due to an unfortunate accident. The place where it was sewn up (where his eye used to be) is swollen and kind of tender. I’m thinking maybe he bumped his eye but I want to be sure.

Towards the end of my dogs phantom pregnancy I noticed she was itching her top left nipple quite a bit. I automatically checked for fleas as you do when you see a dog itching and no sign of any. Knowing I had recently given her flea treatment it was probably unlikely to be fleas so I’ve just kept an eye on it checking her everyday.
It does’t seem to be bothering her too much but she had caught her nipple from itching and caused it to look a bit sore.
I am unsure if it is related to the phantom pregnancy as I haven’t noticed her to itch anywhere else on her body other than that particular nipple and her phantom pregnancy symptoms seemed to be worse this time round, she did produce quite a bit of milk. I want to know if i can do anything to help?
My kitten is around 10-12 weeks old now (last measured weight a few days ago is 2.6 lbs).
She usually eats a mix of dry and wet kitten food.
Two days ago, we introduced only dry food for her to nibble around and also giving her the wet and dry mix. But she’s eating very less of the wet and dry food (but I know she’s occasionally nibbling on the dry because we leave it out). I’m a new pet owner and concerned that maybe she’s not fulfilling the daily quota of calories. Also, the weather has suddenly been very rainy in the previous 2 days so she has been sleeping a lot but very active after she’s woken up. I’ve called the vet but he says as long as she’s active and eating a spoonful of dry at a time, she’s fine. Need help.

Rimzim Basu Hi Krista,
Thanks for replying. She’s going to have her 3rd vaccine on Wednesday. She doesn’t look starved. I wish I could attach a picture of her here. She’s wrestling and running around as usual. But I can’t see her eating so often 🙁
Also the dry food that we are using says that we should feed a 10-12 weeks old kitten around 90 gms of dry per day. She’s not even going to half of it for the past two days after she’s eating only dry. The vet said dry food can be high in calories and heavy, so she could be just full.

Rimzim Basu Thanks a lot Krista. Cats are weird! Her appetite is coming back slowly, I think! 🙂 Let’s hope it stays that way!

Rimzim Basu Also, I wanted to ask why my kitten jumps on my lap and then she’ll bite my clothes off. I mean, she’ll bite my tummy bulge a little too along with that. When I try to ger her off, she’ll bring out her claws and try to bite, all the while on my lap. At other times, she sleeps on my lap peacefully. This is really strange.
my dog just ate a small amount of nutella and i want to know if she could be alright?
My 5.5month old blue heeler hurt her back right paw. I believe it is one toe, she lets me press and extend her leg/joints with little reaction. When I move her 2nd toe to her side, or spread her middle two toes is when she lets me know it hurts. No whining or whimpering, she just gently puts pressure on my hand with her mouth.
Injury occurred yesterday, about 36 hours ago. Yesterday she would put the leg down, even ran a bit. Today she has the leg lifted/hanging above the ground. She will use it to jump up onto couch, I’m trying to limit her as much as possible. Other than that she is completely lame in her back leg. Paw has slight swelling. Not much at all.
Please help, I want to do what’s best for her, and am willing to do whatever it takes financially. But I am in a position where I need advice if seeing a vet is necessary, or to monitor and see if there’s improvement. I just don’t have the money to walk into my vets office unless I suspect I need to see a professional.

Anonymous I would have her on crate rest for 24-48 hours. This means no jumping on couches and all outside visits should be on leash for potty needs, then back inside. If it resolves itself in that time, then it’s just a strain or sprain of some sort. If it doesn’t, then you need to go to the vet.
(Unrelated, But He Also Has Chronic Dry Skin…
My dog is elderly and has seasonal allergies
(Unrelated, but he also has chronic dry skin and hip dysplasia)
I came home after a few hours gone and found that both of the whites of his eyes were swollen and pink, with in the past 2 hours they have gotten worse, I have given him his usual meds plus benadryl for his eyes, what should I do? Is this an emergency? All vets offices are closed.
My dog will not eat solud food but drinks water ,lathargy , vomiting, what doi do
Normally, I would say no that ear infections are not commonly passed from 1 dog to another, however, it is possible to spread ear mites from 1 dog to another and the other dog could have been licking your dogs ear which could have lead to an ear infection. Ear mites are not common in dogs. So it’s possible that the visiting dog could have been licking you dogs ears resulting in an ear infection.
Also, it is possible your dog could have just gotten an ear infection that just happened to coincide with the other dogs visit.
