that’s odd. i’d wonder if she’s leaving them as gifts?

My dog had a slipped disc a few years ago and injured it again last year. Last night I was carrying her and set her down on the floor and she started yelping. I immediately though it was her back but i noticed she would help if she moved her left leg. She would lay down and kick her leg back and Yelp some more.
I gave her some pain medicine and later on I took her potty with her sling and I felt a pretty big pop in her left leg. I took her to the vet today’s a he took an X-ray. He said that the hip didn’t look dislocated and her knee looked fine, he said he noticed a calcification in one of her discs from her injuring it.
She would hold her leg up and not put any pressure on it. The vet tested her reflexes and said they were almost non existent and he only got a pain response when he pulls her leg back. He put her on some anti inflammatory and now she try’s to use the leg but it looks like the leg sort of tilts inward.
I think her pain is finally under control now. The vet said it could be that she dislocated her hip and the pop I felt was it going back in. He also said she could’ve torn a ligament but her leg felt ok, it just had a tiny bit of extra play. And he also said that it could be the calcification is pushing on a nerve and that’s why she can’t really feel her leg.
I have her on pain meds and anti inflammatories and crate rest.
I don’t know what to think or what is going on, I got no straight answers. Does anyone have experience with hip/leg/back issues? What does it sound like happened to you?
My 12 year old dog is having hip trouble. Not putting weight on right leg and left gives out. she seems happy but is in pain. What can I do.
Everyday when I come home there is a small pile of garbage from the bathroom, left in my room in the exact same spot everyday. They are small and neat piles. If you go to the bathroom garbage it looks as though she was rummaging through to find the right pieces to bring. She only leaves them in my room, not any of my other family members and it’s always just right inside my doorway. What does this mean? Why is she doing this?

Anything found around the house, not very smelly and not something that would sting which could be use to soothe skin itching and irritating after being shaved for a procedure? (neck area, dog)
Her eyes are watering, excess snot, sometimes it’s mixed with blood, excess sneezing, lethargic, her appetite is down. Shes been having trouble breathing and coughing. Sometimes her breathing sounds “wet”. My vet said there’s a chance something could be stuck in her nose or could be cancer. I’m very short on money but if theres a really good chance she could have something stuck in her nose I’ll find the funds to get the tests done.
She is a 2 year old pure pug. She is up to date with her vaccinations and has had diarrhea for about 2-3 days. This afternoon she pooped that white slimy liquid and I’m concerned now and I would like to know how to help her.
So my husband passed away 2 months ago we had 3 cats since they were 6 weeks old they are now 4 years old well animal control came and took my dog and 3 cats well I got my male cat back but his sisters were adopted out but this is his 2 night home and he is being really fiesty and keeps meowing and he just looks at me like he wants to pounce on me.. He was in Halifax humane society for 2 months..

Anonymous first of all, i’m so sorry for your losses and all of your upheaval. that’s a lot to deal with all at once. i hope you’re doing okay.
secondly, he may just need reacclimation to your home. please try to be patient with him. my male cat was this way when i brought him home from the shelter…he was absolutely NUTS for a while. the only thing that really helped was increased interactive playtime, so i bought a wand toy and went “fishing.” that seemed to help.
My dog is periodicity
what happened next
puppy strangles – what are long term effects?
Hi, it looks more like a circular bald spot on the photo than a lump…maybe its just the angle of the picture. We really couldn’t tell you what this is…..could be anything. You would need to see a Vet for a diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.
i would be willing to guess this is a lick granuloma based on what i’ve seen on other dogs. to the vet with you, to make sure your dog doesn’t have pain somewhere on that limb. they can also prescribe a spray that will deter further licking.
what breed is he? i’d wonder if he’s getting enough mental stimulation. in some breeds, if they are not trained every day or worked in some sort of sport, they will resort to self-soothing behaviors like licking limbs. this can turn into OCD (we see this a lot in Doberman Pinschers). so: figure out the cause, make sure your dog’s mental needs are met and exceeded.
