You really shouldn’t give them anything without seeing the vet. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are toxic to dogs. It is my understanding that one pill can kill them. I would at least call your vet. Maybe he can prescribe something over the phone.
My 7 year old pitbull recently went about 4 days (maybe 5) without defecating and eating minimally (no dog food, just occasionally would sneak some people foood) and escessively thirsty and peeing excessively . I made a vet appointment, and the day prior to the appointment she defecated, and began to eat (not much for the most part, juat a few bites here and there and was back to being herself in regards to personality. To be safe I took her to the vet anyway as an appointment had already been made. The vet diagnosed it as pancreatitis, noting that she seemed to have pulled through the worst of it on her own he said and put her on a course of meds (antibiotic and what I understood to be a probiotic) After the first day of meds she again became lethargic, and again won’t eat, not eating is putting it lightly, she has an aversion to it, regardless of what food it is she tends to get up and move elsewhere to avoid it. She is still urinating and defecating infrequently despite diminished food and liquid intake

Hi is there any type of pain killer I can buy for my dog without having to afford vets fees for the present time
My 10yo rat terrier (have had since 6months old) is ppl and dog aggressive. He bit my 10 month old son twice this summer, no blood but snaps every chance he’s near baby.he has bitten people in the past. He has severe anxiety & is afraid of everything. he’s always been this way. His fur is falling out, he has hard black patches all over, and soft pink skin showing I’m other places. After biting my son’s face, hubby is talking about euthanasia. Is this the right choice?
She is a 10yr old Bichon Frise female and does have some arthritis. To the best of our knowledge there was no significant moment that this all started happening, she just started showing signs of pain Wednesday morning. She has passed normal bowel movements, urinated, ate at least once, and is still drinking water but has not slept since Wednesday. She can go down stairs but not up them and is extremely sensitive to touch at all.
I just got a newborn puppy that was separated from his mother. I don’t know how many weeks he is but he’s pretty tiny. I’m so anxious since I don’t know how to care for him. I’m feeding him puppy formula. How often should I feed him? How should I clean him? I’m also trying not to hold him as much. Please provide me with details on how I should care for him.

Melissa Thoreson Get some milk replacer at a pet store and get a baby bottle and feed him as much as he’ll twice a day no more than that and make sure to keep him warm so he doesn’t get to cold and die

Erika Medina Thank you. I just saw how he threw up a little milk. I last fed him about 2 hours ago. Is this something I should worry about?
My puppy has this spot on his belly. He tries to lick it when i look at it. Does anyone think they know what this is? ): Thanks

My dog ate the stalk/stem of a lettuce plant out of my garden. Is this toxic to dogs? Will he be ok?

Sue Bona Lettuce is generally pretty safe for animals to consume I would be more concerned about any possible fertilizer exposure.
-
Taylor Altendorf Most lettuce is safe for dogs. Like she said, your concern is the fertilizer, if you’ve used it.
-
Alex Bibler Thank you. No fertilizer used 🙂 I knew lettuce was ok. I was just concerned he ate the stalk part of the plant, not the actual lettuce. Didnt know if different parts of a plant could be toxic to dogs.
My Chihuahua has a pimple like thing inside her eye, what should I do?
2 periods – no mating, 3rd period natural mating, after 48 days – dark green discharge – probably abortion. About 10 days before lot water drinking – beside that the bitch felt ok – eating normal, behaving and acting -ok.Brucelosa test -negative.E.coli found in vaginal secret test. – she received some antibiotics.We missed 1 period than naturaly mated. I think it was too early and for sure there was no pregnancy, but again – around 35th day after mating – lot of water drinking, discharge from vulva – dark bloody secret, no smell, after that turns in clear blood and gone. The dog was ok – no sign of illness. Now she is mated on 9.07., 11.07. and 13.07. – natural mating. Vaginal test – E.coli. Treatment 10 days with Nuroclav 250 mg once a day. Vaginal test positive for e.coli. Starting Amoxiclav – 500 mg on 12h dosage – 10 days treatment, testing and again is positive for e.coli .If she is pregnant now should be the implantation and body development – what is better to do – to stop the antibiotic, to continue or to change is with something else and what else – Zinnat for examle?This time she had a Herpes virus vaccine just in case that she have virus which is the reason for aborion, but i think the problem is in e.coli. I am testing the progesterone levels. Today was 68 ng/ml – normal levels for 3 weeks after mating
What diagnostics did your vet do to determine it was pancreatitis? It is possible that she’s reacting to the antibiotic or it is possible that the diagnosis is something else. I’d definitely call the vet back and tell them what is going on.
blood test and general examination. I will call to see if it’s a reaction to the meds
Can’t comment on the blood test much without knowing what it showed and whether or not they ran cPL. Please do talk to them, though.
