This actually kind of looks like ringworm to me, yes. Not seeing the red but seeing the patch. When JD had ringworm it looked like this (not red; normal skin color). Flat, not raised. Have it checked and conclusively identified.
Hi my senior dog was just diagnosed of having pyometra, I don’t know if its closed or open type , but a lot of brown discharge is comming out of her vagina, the vet asked for an expensive price that we looked right away for other vets, we found one that is cheaper, she will undergo surgery tomorrow morning, I’m concered about the dextrose in her front leg, is it alright to iv her before surgery or should I take it off for her to be ready ?
My cat has been spayed for a while but every so often for about 1/2weeks male cats still hang outside the house,its like shes in heat but she doesnt show signs of being in heat,my dog also tries to hump her during this time,what could it be

My 6 year old Mini Schnauzer tore her ACL a few years back. Before she had surgery we asked what else could be done. Our vet said either surgery (which cost us 2,000$) or put her down. Is this true? Are there other alternatives? And she may have torn it again(we aren’t sure). What should we do about that?
Is it safe to give a 9 1/2 year old English Bulldog a injection of diazepam5mg/ml inject./midazolam 5mg/ml without any blood work? Would this kill the dog.

my 6 month puppy(brownie) was throwing up small amounts of yellow liquid during past 2 days(@ morning before meals).2day morning she threw up clear foamy liquid & ate grass afterwards.she s behaving & normally.should i take her 2 the vet??
My chihuahua mix ate one chocolate no bake cookie she’s 4 years old about 10-15 pounds and has shown no signs of illness so far it’s been about 3-4 hours since she ate it will she be fine.
The availability of items has changed so much since I last had a puppy over 10 years ago. I never give any of my dogs rawhide, so I’m looking for safe alternatives that satisfy the need to chew, especially for a 10 week old pup. Nylabone, nylabone edibles, what else is appropriate? I’m looking for safe, and hopefully not extremely expensive. And what about giving things like carrots, quartered apples, pears, etc? Thank you~!

Kelly Furgason Hi Suzanne,
Great question, I like Diedra’s suggestions too. Here are a few more….To answer your question, yes you can certainly give chunks of veggies or fruits as treats. You are wise to not do rawhides or rawhide chews as they are really easy to get stuck inside the mouth. Kong makes awesome toys and they last forever so although they may be an investment, they pay off in the long run.
You can also buy marrow bones (they look like smooth bones about 6+ inches long, sometimes they are hollow sometimes they are filled. They are really hard and basically impossible to break. If they are hollow you can stuff them with peanut butter or other treats. You can also freeze ice (empty cool whip containers work great) put some treats inside the water before you freeze it…hours of fun esp in the summer.
Enjoy your new pup!!

Jennifer Bae Hello Suzanne. I recommend antlers. Dogs/puppies love them and they’re good for their teeth. They are sold at any pet shops. I have 2 dogs and they both love to chew on antlers for hours.
Another great option is to make your own frozen treats at home and fill KONGs with them. One recipe that I make for my dogs often is really easy. Cook oatmeal, add pureed pumpkin and small amount of peanut butter and mix. Fill kongs with them and freeze. Oatmeal and pumpkin is really good for dogs and the peanut butter adds some sweetness that dogs love.
Hope this helped!

Guy Styles What? Are these people Kong representatives? My dog will chews up kong toys in about 10 minutes unless it’s their thick rubber cone looking toy, she just sniffs at that.
More economical, and almost more fun are plastic water bottles. Want it to last longer, braid some rope around it, put a treat in it, throw it out when done. They don’t leave many plastic pieces everywhere, plastic bottles will just get flat.
As for treats, every dog is different. Meat always works, but it’s messy.
