I Have A Young Oscar About 4 Inches Long. This Morning She Attempted To Eat…

I have a young Oscar about 4 inches long. This morning she attempted to eat a cory but has been unable to swallow it. She has been holding it in her mouth for 8+ hours with the tail sticking out. Should I do anything?

    Hello,
    If she is calm and comfortable and able to function swim, breathe and doesn’t appear in distress I would leave her. You may cause more harm than good.

My Dog Recently Had Puppies, They Were All Okay But I Checked Them Yesterday And…

My dog recently had puppies, they were all okay but I checked them yesterday and one of them has it’s neck tilted looking to left stuck in place, I believe it was the mother that hurt it because it got mad at it. The puppy with the hurt neck is still alive, I believe it’s eating, and it can walk (has some trouble though because of its head) I just I don’t know what to do, I want to take it to a veterinarian but it’s going to come out pricey for it to be checked out and I don’t have much money. The puppy is three weeks and was hurt 1-3 days ago

    Your puppy needs a vet. There is no way around it. Please go as quickly as possible and please have your dog spayed.

    Serious question, Elizabeth…why did you let the bitch carry to full term if you can’t afford vet care for the puppies?

    What would you have done if she needed a cesarean? SO MANY emergencies come up with breeding…this is why it’s best left to those with experience and those with mentors.

My 10-yr Old Tonkinese Cat Has A Seroma On His Throat From Fighting With His…

My 10-yr old Tonkinese cat has a seroma on his throat from fighting with his brother (littermate), who bit him in the neck. This happened over a year ago. The vet did full test panel (no cancer), etc and drained it. It refilled within a week. I took him back to drain again, it refilled again. I did NOT want to repeat this cycle for fear of infection (not to mention cost). The seroma is still on his throat and I know bothers him, but does not affect his appetite. All the vet suggests is draining it again. He does eat more slowly than he used to, and doesn’t purr quite as much as he used to. I was hoping it would have shrunk by now, but it hasn’t. Any advice? I am extremely interested in holistic, alternative ideas, if possible. Thank you!

    Hello,
    I am not a holistic vet but if you were my client I would inquire about doing a culture and sensitivity of the fluid or cytology making sure it isn’t infection or a mucocele or salivary gland abnormality. I would be curious to see if there is more to this than a seroma. I hope this helps.

Yorker Poo, 2.5lbs. She Is Whining/crying As Tho She’s In Pain When She Gets Up…

Yorker poo, 2.5lbs. She is whining/crying as tho she’s in pain when she gets up to adjust herself as she sleeps, she spent most of the day outside with the family, laying out by the pool. She had plenty of shade, water and food. She is eating drinking and going to the bathroom normally, the whining did not occur until later in the night after dinner. No one has any idea what could be causing her pain. Any ideas?

    Of course, it’s impossible to estimate what might be wrong over the internet. Dogs generally don’t advertise pain so if she vocalizing there would be a lot of it. The only way to find out what’s happening and fix it is a hands-on veterinary examination.

    I sure hope you’re getting her to the vet first thing this morning.

My Serbian Husky Is Throwing Up Constantly. Today She Has At Least Throwed Up 20…

My Serbian Husky is throwing up constantly. Today she has at least throwed up 20 times. I just recently got her 3 days ago. She’s 5 years old. Her stomach cringes and she will stop gagging then a puddle of slimy clear liquid with a little foam like substance will come out. After she eats she throws it up and you can see the food and it looks like it hasn’t been chewed up. When it does this, it’s ALOT. It’s really white and foamy. I have no clue what it is and I’m freaking out!

    Has she ate anything new? Like change of food or new treats? Human food? Are you feeding her the same foods her last owner fed her?

  2. Britney Kidd

    She has parvo.. 🙁 I got her medicines today!

  3. Krista Magnifico

    She should go immediately to the closest emergency clinic. They will examine your dog, provide injectable anti nausea medications and even sedate your dog so the vomiting stops and the tissue can begin to heal. I also get extremely concerned that these cases might be something like gdv/bloat, obstruction, toxin, or disease. Any dog who vomits more than a few times, or has intractable vomiting needs a vet immediately.

  4. Sarah

    I’d get to a vet as soon as possible. Simply because if she isn’t keeping anything down at all, dehydration will become a serious issue. The vet can get fluids into her and then better assess the situation. Good luck.

    Please define “started vomiting”. You mean multiple times since? Since it’s a weekday, and she seems visibly unwell, I’d see a vet with that.

  2. LEE BOWMAN

    thank you for responce, yes she vomits white gunk and clear fluid quite regular but full of life when out in garden, will book vet asap.

My Puppy Suddenly Stopped Eating. She Will Sniff The Food Then Walk Away, Normally She…

My puppy suddenly stopped eating. She will sniff the food then walk away, normally she gets excited if she just sees me open the door to the closet with her food in it. I have to literally beg her to eat.

    How young is the puppy? What breed? The smaller the dog the more urgent it is to take care of it. Is there any chance she ate a piece of a toy or something she shouldn’t? Is she behaving normally otherwise, playing, running etc, or also seem quiet? These are measures of whether you need to see a vet right now or tomorrow morning. I would definitely not wait any longer than that. If she’s also lethargic, starts vomiting, gets diarrhea or any other signs of trouble, if she’s very young and/or very small, I’d seek a vet today.

    Hello,
    it sounds like you need to call the vet back asap and have them look at your dog again. Any pet who isn’t better within a day or two, or who worsens at anytime needsto check back with the vet as quickly as possible.
