To the vet with you, first thing this morning. There may be a scratch on her eye. Don’t delay on this – eye problems can go downhill QUICKLY.
My dog started off with puking and not eating then she had diarrhea with some blood, we took her to the vet they wanted to keep her so we had her there for three days being that it was 4th of july weekend it was really expensive. They put her on antibiotics and fluids and when we picked her up we paid for antibiotics that we could bring home along with nausea medicine. She is home now and still very sick. She does not have parvo, I dont know what to do.

What to do about my puppy being scared of fireworks
So what else would you recommend for a dog that is afraid of fireworks the thundershirt helped a little maybe some music we can hear the fireworks sounds all over our house maybe a movie sound would help
My dog got bit by a huge mouse outside and started bleeding, he seemed fine by licking off the blood and eating, but im worried, could there be diseases transmitted? Can i clean the wound somehow? Thank you.
She’s an American bull dog and she’s about 7 years old. She’s never done this before. I also have 2 other dogs and they aren’t acting like this.
She is a Bengal, approx 1 year old, de sexed and lives with a male tabby 5 years old also desexed. They are both healthy indoor cats. There have been no other behavioural changes, she’s very affectionate, eating and drinking well. No more or less than usual. The urine stains don’t show any signs of discolouration and don’t smell unusual or different from the other cat’s.
My 3 month old kitten has diarrhea and can’t control when it goes. The only other animals it has been around is our puppy but he is not sick. What can I do to stop the diarrhea
How urgent is a hematoma? My dog developed one last night. I know he needs to see a vet, but we’re Americans so tomorrow is a holiday. Can it wait until Tuesday, or do I need to get him to an emergency vet tonight?

Elizabeth Fulda Thank you so much for your response! But I am aware of that – my question is how quickly this happens. So, wiill 24-48 hours make a considerable impact? His ears have been gently cleaned, and he’s been given his allergy meds.

Elizabeth Fulda I took him to the emergency vet tonight, they confirmed it was a hematoma, but told me it wasn’t worth worrying about and could just take him to my regular vet in a few days.
4 months ago my wife and I purchased a chihuahua from what was supposed to be a reputable breeder. When we gor her she reeked of cigarettes bur we loved her already. We took her immediately to a vet and she is healthy and up to date on all her vaccinations but the issue we are having is wit a tapeworm. She had it since we got her. Our vet had treated her multiple times with both medicine and injections and she is on Sentinel for protection. Even had to put For-Bid in her food for the past month per our vet, but worm is still here. Getting frustrated and concerned for our baby pup. Anything we can do to help get rid of this?

Anonymous I’m going to leave the medical part of your question to our vets, but I do have an observation regarding what makes a reputable, ethical breeder.
Unless the person from whom you purchased your puppy titles (as in, they earn titles through showing, obedience trials, etc…not just AKC registration) and fully health tests per the Chihuahua Club of America, they aren’t what I would consider ethical or reputable. Here’s a lot more information: http://www.chihuahuaclubofamerica.org/health-committee-mission/
Read through the links on the right sidebar. And maybe look into an insurance policy to cover potential health issues. Petplan and Truepanion seem to be two of the best…avoid VPI like the plague, they’ll just take your money.

David Woolwine We have had the pups repeatedly checked for fleas by vet and there are none. Both are indide dogs do no infestation ftom outside, dont even go outside. Been on Sentinel for protection since she was big enough to start and our 18 month old has always been on monthly Trifexis for prevention. Luckily even with continued presence of worm still is gaining weight and only loose stool was after surgery to spay and antibiotics were given. Just frustrating that we are doing all we can and still cannot get rid of. Wondering if I need to take to different vet.

David Woolwine We took two separate stool samples in to the vet, then while my wife had the pup there a small worm was left on her shirt by the pup. Vet said it was a tapeworm so I’m assuming that’s what it is.

David Woolwine But after multiple shots, multiple doses if sentinel, a month on For-Bid to prevent her from eating her feces and reinfesting I’m at a loss. Also weird that it goes days sometimes but no worm, then suddenly they’re back.

David Woolwine Plus had deurontinal more times than I can count.
How can I tell my dog is getting better, or any signs or recovering.
Hello,
sorry to hear you dog is so sick. What did your vet say was wrong with her? I would call the vet back and explain that she is not getting better and ask them. You’ve already paid for your bill there, so give a call back and explain that she is still sick. If they cannot help, find a new vet. If you cannot afford it, reach out to local rescue organizations and ask if they have any programs that can help with assistance. Ask you vet if they have Care Credit (apply for it , ask you vet how). Ask your vet if they can take payments or if you can work off or volunteer with them to help pay for the care. .Good luck!
