We Want To Adopt A 9-month-old Dog. The Only Thing In His Medical History Is…

We want to adopt a 9-month-old dog. The only thing in his medical history is a mild case of demodex that was treated with Bravecto. He has since been cleared off all mites. Is this a red flag for adoption? I read online that it can be an indicator of an underlying immune system problem. We have fallen in love with him, but if there are sure to be ongoing health problems, I’m not sure that we’d go ahead with adoption.

My 19 Y/o Dog Has Kidney Disease. He Is On A Rx Low Protein…

My 19 y/o dog has kidney disease. He is on a rx low protein kidney diet food & has started to experience discomfort. Wondering if hemp product w/ 23% protein (Canna-Pet) would be better or worse on his kidneys than Tramadol rx’d by vet.

    Have him checked for a UTI.  If he’s clear, go back to square 1 with housebreaking.

    Most dogs are dreaming when things like running and twitching happens.  It’s a normal part of their sleep pattern.  What makes you believe this might be seizures? 

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Seizures are very different, even scary.  Normally they happen when the dog is initially awake and the dog can not be aroused from a seizure but can be from a dream.

  3. PK Dennis

    If you think it may be a seizure,  try to wake the dog (call by name,not by touch so you don’t get bitten). Try getting a video to show to your vet.

Hi. My Dog Has Been Puking For Three Days. Mostly At Night After He Has…

Hi. My dog has been puking for three days. Mostly at night after he has drank a couple gulps of water, but always after drinking. He has been to the vet where he was given a penicillin-like medicine that’s white and came with a syringe as well as some pills for nausea. The problem is that my family will be leaving for a cruise soon and this includes close relatives so he will have to stay at a kennel or something. What should I do? Can they take him if he’s sick like this? I’m extremely worried.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t leave while my dog’s that sick.  But that’s just me…this is why I get vacation insurance.

    Call the vet and talk with them about this.  They may have boarding options.

A Neighbor Has A Door Dasher That Seems To Get Out *frequently* Despite Her Owners…

A neighbor has a door dasher that seems to get out *frequently* despite her owners’ best efforts to keep her indoors. Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this behavior?

I do not have any further information, but my suggestions included diffusers with citrus scents near entry points, crating in a large dog crate, and keeping the cat confined to a room with a closing door when people enter/exit the home. Is there anything else you can think of?

    Hello, I would just make sure the door is closed and LOCKED. I don’t know any other suggestions for you, other than just “hissing” her away from the door. This means to make a noise much like a hiss noise. Good luck!

    Thank you!

    It appears the cat in question door dashes when it’s opened (when people enter/exit the home). We live in a city known for B&E crime, and I know these folks keep the door closed/locked.

    I’ll mention the hissing but I can confirm that this won’t work for a determined feline. Hopefully theirs is more sensitive than my brat. 🙂

    I dig. Passing this along, thanks.

I Went To The See The Vet Because My Dog Had A Bump On Top…

I went to the see the vet because my dog had a bump on top of his paw and wouldn’t walk on it. On the x-rays it showed one of his “toe” bone pushed in next to the other “toe” bone (broken) and it requires surgery they said. but right now he is walking fine with no limp. Instead of it needing surgery could it have been possible that it just needed a cast and time?
