    This sounds like she has an obstruction.  She needs a vet, NOW.  Ignoring this will have dire consequences, please don’t delay.

    Obviously she needs to be taken to vet

I Have An 8 Year Old GSD. Long Story Short: An Animal Dermatologist Is Pretty…

I have an 8 year old GSD. Long story short: an animal dermatologist is pretty sure he has allergic vasculitis.

Symptoms:
-Yeast/bacterial issues with skin (lots of licking, odor, grossness)
-Swelling in legs (possibly elsewhere but always noticeable in legs)
-Spikes fevers

More recent symptoms
-Eating dirt, big time. Not sure if it’s related to condition or what.
– Noticeable weight loss while we were away for ~2 weeks. Thought other dog stole his food when caregivers weren’t watching. Now thinking its from eating dirt. ?

We have ruled out food as the source of allergy problems. The vet seemed certain that it’s a local/environmental allergy as we lived in the area almost 3 years before this started. Also, he’s always seemed to have dry, itchy skin.

He gets relief for 2-3 weeks depending on meds. Hes been put on antibiotics, anti fungal, and a steroid. Two weeks on meds brings 2-3 weeks relief. Then we are back to itching, licking, odor, swelling, etc.

We did not take him back for allergy testing after the vasculitis diagnosis. It was just too costly at that time. I am hoping to get him into his usual vet very soon for his regular checkup but I really want him out back on medication.

Please tell me someone else had experience with this issue or something similar with their pup!

    Thank you! I’m actually relieved that you’ve seen cases like this.

    We will be getting him to the vet soon. I will try to remember to update when we do.

My puppy went on a short, hot hike yesterday. Today he is very lethargic and lays or sits down every chance he gets. There is no vomit, diarrhea, discolored tongue/gums, and he is eating and drinking. Should I worry about the lethargy?

    Yes, I would worry – give your vet a call, explain your concerns and see if they can get you in to see the doctor for a few moments.

  2. Eric Paulsen

    Thanks. I did call my vet, but based on the normalcy of everything else he wasn’t concerned and figured he was exhausted from the hike. Better safe than sorry!

  3. PK Dennis

    It is good that you had the conversation – you are right about safe/sorry!

    Is she spayed?  If not, I worry about a very serious health problem, pyometra…

    Either way, I’d get her back to the vet NOW.

  2. Melissa DiGioia

    Did they give her any medication or say she needs surgery? If she’s not in medication, I would take her back to the vet ASAP or at least call them. 

  3. Teresa-Ann McNeillie

    She was spayed when she was 2.

    The vet gave her a jab and said keep her away from tit bits and fatty foods.

    I just feel helpless as i can see shes not feeling well, she is still eating and drinking as normal but looks under the weather.

    I put my trust in my vet but feel let down.I always try to stick to the same vet in the practice (like i do at the doctors for myself).But because i rushed her over i got a different vet from the practice.She said shes a bit over weight (which i know as she is like a dyson hoover) but has lovely teeth and a great condition coat for her age.

    Tbh its the discharge thats confusing me.
    She went to step of the sofa tonight and her bk legs gave way

    The discharge just started today, right? That would have me WORRIED and I’d have rushed her back in to the vet today about it.

    And it’s always good to keep your dog at a proper weight. Please don’t make excuses, saying she’s a hoover. Provided she doesn’t have an issue like Cushing’s or hypothyroid, YOU control her weight – put raw green beans in her food while feeding her less of a good quality food. The green beans help to make her belly full without giving her added calories. Expect them to come out the other end mostly whole.

    Obstruction?  Blockage?  Either way, treat this like an emergency.

I Found This Kitten About 3 Days Ago Lying In The Middle Of The Road…

I found this kitten about 3 days ago lying in the middle of the road. I brought her home and bathed her and fed her. she has no problem eating. she is a cuddle bug. from my research I would say shes around 4-6 weeks. she has been sneezing and has had this gooey eye problem since I brought her home, although it has gotten a little better since then. unfortunately I cant afford to take her to the vet at the moment so I’m just looking for home remedies or a medication I could possibly buy at the store.

He’s Chubby And I Don’t Notice Any Weight Loss. He Still Eats As Usual. He…

He’s chubby and I don’t notice any weight loss. He still eats as usual. He does drink a lot of water. They said to listen to his heart to see if it sounds “like a washing machine”. I have no idea! Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t see the vet until monday. Am I freaking out over nothing? I need to know how serious this is.

    There really is no point in worrying yourself to death until Monday!  I mean remember the Internet can be wrong too!!

  2. Zainab Imbabi

    I just can’t even sleep. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He’s still just a baby. I’d do anything to make sure he was ok.
