My Dog Is 1 Year Old And He Is Trained To Go On His Pee…
My dog is 1 year old and he is trained to go on his pee pad (my boyfriend and I live in an apartment). We’ve recently got another dog a few months ago and we have already expected our older dog to be territorial and mark in places around the apartment. That has stopped for a while then all of a sudden he is peeing in places he knows are bad. For example, he peed on our couch while my boyfriend was sleeping on it! I’ve already taken him to the vet and he is fine heath wise. We’ve been keeping a better eye on him to make sure he doesn’t pee where he’s not suppose to and so we can also reward him for when he does go in the right spot. It’s been good for a couple of days. Then today when I came home from work, I took him into the bathroom with me (where we keep his pad) and I waited for him to use the bathroom. I even tried to tell him to “go potty”. Nothing happened for about 10 minutes so I opened the door and we headed to the living room….I see him peeing on our comforter that’s hanging off the couch with his ears down and that “oh no I’m in trouble” look on his face. I don’t know what to do because I feel he knows better than this.

Krista Magnifico Safely and slowly. I’m sorry but there isn’t enough information to provide much more guidance. Ask your vet for help with this.
Hi. I Noticed An Angry Red Lump On My 3-year-old Beagle’s Foot, Near Her Claw…
Hi. I noticed an angry red lump on my 3-year-old Beagle’s foot, near her claw today. Pretty sure I didn’t see it yesterday. It doesn’t seem to hurt her at all. It’s not soft, but also not rock hard either. It’s not bleeding. She’s not licking it, so I don’t think it itches. She doesn’t have fleas or ticks. Her diet was recently changed from kibble to raw; not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I’ll mention it just in case. She seems to ber her normal self, NO vomitting / diarrhea / weakness. Brought her to the vet, and she was given 3 shots: dexamethasone, viccillin, and amoxicillin, and we were told to watch for the bump for the next few days. I’ve been surfing the web, and I think the bump could be histiocytoma orrrrr (God forbid) a mast cell tumor / mastocytoma. We live in Indonesia, and in the city we’re in, vets don’t really have labs where they perform tests and such. I’m losing my mind thinking about what my dog could possibly have. Please help if you’ve experienced a similar case. Pic attached.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I would ask your vet about your concerns. I would also prepare for all of the skin lesions you are concerned about. Typically in cases like these I give my patients a few weeks to see if it resolves. If not I do a punch biopsy to submit for pathology through a veterinary diagnostic lab. If it gets larger ask your vet to remove it. It is small enough to allow many options at this point. Best of luck. Please let us know. -
Savitri N Hi Krista, thanks for your response. The bump has become smaller, drier, and much darker (like a healed wound), and I take that as a positive sign. Unfortunately, I have yet to find vets in my city that do biopsies or any kind of lab tests at all (not that she needs one right now that the bump has gotten better). I will still be on the lookout but am much less worried. Thank you again.

We are treating out 12 yr old beagle for IVDD with crate rest, prednosine, and tramadol. His back legs have been paralyzed for 14 days. For the past several days, when I hold him to urinate or massage his legs, I feel jerky movements and trembling. Is this a positive sign or simply his reflexes?

Ed Schmitz Post author Thank you. I will talk to the vet tomorrow. I watched your youtube videos with Hank. Looks a lot like my Buddy. It was encouraging to see Hank’s recovery.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
Please check with your vet. But in general I try to posture them to stand at every instance I can to help them regain muscle mass and strength. I hope it is trembling to regain the nerve function that feeds the muscles to tell them to work. But please confirm with your vet.

Sarah hello,
I would first get to the vet and have the dog checked and inoculated. Then I would enroll in a training class class right away. It sounds like this dog needs structure and socialization asap. Lots of exercise and a behaviorist might also benefit all of you for training and dog behaviors. And also….Please be wary of “free” pets online. Very best of luck to you. -
Anonymous Honestly…the dog MAY have been overwhelmed. There are classic fear periods, and this age is often when the second fear period kicks in. I wouldn’t let your 4 year old anywhere near her right now, and I WOULD get the puppy evaluated by a professional as soon as possible. It’s very likely the previous owner said anything that would work to get the dog out of his hands.

I left my 8 yr old maltese mix alone for 45 minutes. When I returned she was acting very strange like she was dizzy and afraid of me. She won’t let me hold her and she won’t eat or drink.

Sarah Is there a chance that’s she got into anything poisonous (household cleaner, prescription meds, etc…) or can you see any chewed wires around by chance? I would call the vet ASAP.

I have an at least 8 yr old maltese mix. (She was a stray)
She isn’t normally very active. She usually just stays on my bed. She loves to go places with me and shes very well behaved.
I had to leave her home tonight for about 45 minutes. When I got home I noticed she wasn’t acting right. Her eyes were kind of big and moving back and forth like she was dizzy. I picked her up and she immediately wanted down. (Not normal)
It’s almost like she’s afraid of me. She’s not a real affectionate dog but she’s always comfortable when I hold her.
Her head and eyes are moving kind of weird. I have a short video. Having trouble uploading it.
She also won’t have anything to do with food or water.

Anonymous To my uneducated eyes, I’d guess that’s a seizure. Did you call the vet yet??!

Lisa Outlaw Post author I can’t afford to take her. I know you shouldn’t have an animal if you can’t afford one but this dog makes my world go around.
-
Anonymous Unfortunately, you may be risking her health if there’s something seriously wrong. Please try to find a way to get her in ASAP…she could have issues with thyroid or blood sugar, something neurological could be going on, or it could be something else.

Lisa Outlaw Post author I will and shes back to her normal self now. Not knowing what happened will make me nuts.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
Has a vet examined him? For infection? (I suspect every dog fight dog will get infection from the bite wounds). Has he been examined for possible internal injuries? Has he been given pain medication? I suspect these are all in order before he goes back to eating and feeling better

Sarah If it was just the aglet- the little, tiny plastic piece on the ends-it will probably pass. I would just keep a close eye onyour dog and call the vet if you notice any sudden, concerning changes. It’s not glamorous, but you might want to check his stool to see if it passes, just to make sure.

Krista Magnifico I agree with Sarah! Lol!! My new favorite word! Love you Sarah! I knew there was a word for that thing.
Is everyone neutered?
And no I vehemently argue that they “know better”. They may know you are not happy but they do not know spite or anger. I don’t recommend training on pee pads because it gets too confusing for pets. As I think is the case for your dogs. How are they supposed to understand “pee in the house, BUT only right in this little spot on this little thing?” How confusing must that be?
You could also try a belly band while you figure out how to manage the bathroom issues.
