If he’s only vomited once, I think I’d wait and see. If he vomits more, I’d be on the horn with the vet.
Is it okay for my puppy to chew on sticks in my yard?

I have a 13 week old puppy. He’s been fine but he just threw up his food and now he’s quivering. He’s urinating fine and he had a good bowel movement not too long ago. I’m concerned. What should I do?

I just watched your video about the high er costs and I am enraged as well.
A few years ago I called to find out an estimate for a possible C section on my Newf as she had a stuck puppy. They first said they had to see the dog to give an estimate, but when I pressed them they gave me an estimate of 2-6 K! This is highway robbery, especially since I KNOW from folks I know who have worked there that the vets there are inexperienced just out of school vets who have no business working on their own at an overnight clinic.
How can a surgery that would cost around 1-1.5K in the daytime cost 6K at night?
I ended up driving way too fast 140 miles to another vet clinic who does their own er. They got the puppy out without a c section. I doubt the local er would have been able to do that, so not only did I save my bitch from unneccesary surgery, but I saved thousands of dollars.
Besides the outrageous prices these clinics charge, I think it is criminal that they hire inexperienced vets to be on their own at an overnight clinic. To me that is malpractice.

I have a 13 week old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Can I feed him anything besides dog food or dog treats such as a small piece of meat or fruit or vegtable?

My 3 year old dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure after about a week of vomiting, lethargy, and not eating. After less than a day in the hospital her BUN came down from a 227 to a 200 and when I visited her in the hosptial I could tell her mood was night and day from when she was admitted to the hospital, much more energetic and happy, which I took as a very good sign of her health. So I guess my question is what can I expect? What are her realistic chances of recovering from this?

I have a Siberian Husky with this horrible scabbing on his nose.
He has been looked at before and the vet had no suggestion as to what it was and simply told me to use Vaseline or neosporane. Nothing worked. Do you have any advise or suggestions? Thank you, Mary

I believe my dog has a small seroma and I am wondering if I should or shouldn’t take her to the vet?
I wouldn’t. Sticks can get stuck in the mouth.
I agree with Laura, however I know it’s hard to watch them all of the time? If you catch him eating a stick, try replacing it with a chew toy.
I do not let puppies chew on sticks. After adoption one of my prior foster puppies had a piece of a stick become lodged in the soft tissue in his mouth causing infection. He had to have surgery to remove it. I stick with appropriate chew toys for puppies and usually keep one or two in the yard for them to play with too. Best of luck and enjoy that puppy!
It could be a sign of teething but I’d say no. Don’t let the puppy do it for infections or damage the new growing teeth
