I would worry more about cooked bones than the garlic! It is always better to be safe than sorry — and cooked bones can cause a blockage. Yes, you should consider taking him to the vet if you are worried.

julie brader Hi Yazmin, have you bred this puppy? One month old is far far too young to leave their mum.
As for feeding……try a puppy milk formula. Do not give cows milk, puppies and dogs cannot digest it.
You could also give some runny baby rice mixed with the puppy milk. At one month old the pup should be able to lap. Once a day you could give a tiny ball of minced steak…and I mean tiny, about the size of a peanut to start with.
Good luck and I hope the puppy thrives.

I Have A Female Beagle And She Is Around 6-8 Years Old. She’s Always Been…
I have a female beagle and she is around 6-8 years old. She’s always been a hyper dog, loves to jump up and down the couch/bed for a good snuggle, loves people and would jump on them and during meal time, she would be excited and beg for food. On Thursday evening & Friday all day (today is Saturday at 11am), we noticed something weird/strange going on with her and she’s been acting really weird. Her walks have been slowed (especially up and down the stairs) and she cannot jump up on the bed/couch (she can still jump down). She is eating (I gave her a little piece of chicken on my pizza) and she is peeing but not pooping, and my mom said her tummy is very hard and one of her front leg is acting up… We made an appointment with the vet but it isn’t until next week and right now we are trying to rule out a lot of things like constipation…. We just didn’t want to take her to the emergency because last time something like this happened, we freaked out and took her there, it turns out it was only constipation and we were charged over 500 dollars and as it just being after Christmas and a new semester, we really don’t have the money to take her to the vet unless it’s an actual emergency…

Yuan Zuo Thank you very much for your feedback! I will re-make an appointment tonight and hopefully get an Monday appointment. I’ve also bought some pumpkin stuff for her (many people online say that it helps with constipation) and if she doesn’t get better by then, then off to the doctors we go on Monday!

Matthew Kelcourse Hello Yuan.
In addition to Dr M’s response, I can only add you are describing classic symptoms for the early stages of IVDD (of which beagles are a susceptible breed). Up and down stairs, not jumping, etc… are self-evident; but urinating while not defecating is a classic symptom because it requires arching the back/neck and “pushing/straining” – something a lot more painful than urinating when IVDD is causing back pain.
Since IVDD requires immediate medical attention, I recommend a veterinary visit ASAP. Great if IVDD is ruled out, but any delay could make treatment more difficult.
Good luck,
Dr K

Yuan Zuo Hey guys, thank you both so much for the feedback. I can proudly say that Abby is getting a lot better as we speak! Abby does have a history of constipation and without even knowing it, she’s been constipated for over a week now, that’s being taken care of with some pumpkin & lots of tummy rubs and walks! Her leg was also hurt earlier in the week because my dad had taken her to a field where she could run but as it being Winter with lots of snow, sometimes the ground is steep without even realizing it and she must have walked twisted her left front leg, and with her belly already in pain and her front leg hurt, she was having a lot of troubles being herself. But she will get better soon! I really appreciate all of the support and medical advice I have received.
As she is getting older, we will definitely be more careful and cautious with her health!

We got a rescue dog, and she has many health problems that we are dealing with (including an ear infection, lice, etc.) and something that concerns me is her left eye that is red and bulging. What possibly could it be? How should I help he? I cannot find it online. Thanks!

Daria Locher Post author Thank you so much for your help! I was concerned because when I looked up cherry eyes they looked different, but we ended up going to the vet and they said the same thing! Thanks again for your help!!
i’m not sure what those symptoms are, but i would be calling a vet about this as soon as they open, if not sooner.
