My 1.5 Year Old High Energy Goldendoodle Had Her Front Leg Amputated Almost 3 Weeks Ago Due To …

My 1.5 year old high energy goldendoodle had her front leg amputated almost 3 weeks ago due to a brachial plexus injury. She developed a seroma that was confirmed by the surgeon and she said warm compresses and rest. I have read that these can take weeks to go away and the only way to keep my girl quiet is trazadone, otherwise she wants to run around and play (and due to the amputation, she hops). Is there anything else i can do to speed up the absorption of the seroma?

    Hello,

    I don’t know of anything. I feel that the more you do to annoy or fuss with it the more delayed it gets in being reabsorbed.

My Rescue Cat Has Always Been Sort Of Aggressive, Her Rescue Didnt Really Get Her Any …

My rescue cat has always been sort of aggressive, her rescue didnt really get her any type of evaluation to determine if there was any underlying issue causing her to have this aggression. So we kept her because I knew it would be difficult to adopt her out and I didnt want her going to petsmart for boarding, bounce around from home to home or worse be put down for behavior. This was over a year ago, she has since adjusted to our family, our pets and for the most part seems over all happy, Well last night she suddenly began to freak out, kept licking her lips excessively, her back along w her ear and paws were twitching. She would seem to be trying to catch something around her but there was nothing there, almost like hallucinations? She was running back n forth looking at her back, bottom, and she just looks stressed out. Her eating has slowed down as wekk as her water intake, she goes outside and doesnt want to come back in. I just feel her behavior changed almost over night. Ive made an appt w her vet and its scheduled for next week, in the mean time I did some online searching and it looks like all sgns point to hyperesthesia? It says it could be due to fleas , parasites amongst other things however she is on revolution she doesnt have worms, I even bought a flea comb just to see if maybe that was a possibility but theres nothing! Im concerned about her since she looks uncomfortable. Is there anything to do or give her till her appt to keep her calm and less uncomfortable

    Hello,
    I think that the best step you can take is to see a vet and talk to them about your concerns and suspicions. Ask for help in addressing pain and anxiety. I like gabapentin for cats but there are lots of other options to discuss.

We found a DSH on the street in Bali. We arranged export papers for Canada. Allot of nasal dischage which was parially cleared up with a 5 day course of doxy. Still nasal congested so we use a nebulizer with 0.5ml of ventolin and 1 ml saline. This improves his snorting. I think he needs a nasal flush and maybe a rhinoscopy.

We dont mind driving the 807km for your expertise and treatment. We are of course insprired by your videos.

Look forward to hearing from you.

My Dog Was Fine All Day Yesterday And Last Night Until Bedtime. He Suddenly Acted As …

My dog was fine all day yesterday and last night until bedtime. He suddenly acted as if he could not jump up on the bed ( where he always sleeps ) but finally did so for a treat. Sometime later in the night he moved to the floor and slept the rest of the night there. He has NEVER slept on the floor since we’ve had him. This morning, he does not want to move – very lethargic. He will take a treat but very slowly ( he is extremely, extremely food motivated and excited by any/all food ). He did finally walk down the stairs at an extremely slow pace. He does not want to be picked up and just really wants to lay there. I’m going to see if he wants to eat breakfast ( it’s typically the NUMBER ONE thing on his mind as soon as we come downstairs but he is just laying on the rug sleeping. Should I see how breakfast goes and assess from there ? See how the day goes? My vet is open from 1-3 today but I’m not sure that’s for appointments for sick pets. I can always go to the ER if he doesn’t improve or call JVET first thing in the morning if there is no improvement ??? Any advice?

    This seems acute. I sure hope you got him in when your vet opened today.

    Hello,
    I’m sorry didn’t see this sooner. How are things going now? Did I see you today during walkins? I am at the clinic all day tomorrow if needed.

    @Krista – thank you for the response. His appetite is great and his personality improved somewhat through the day. He can walk fine but he still won’t jump, do stairs or stand just on his back legs. He does have luxating patella so maybe he injured himself on his last potty last night. I’ve never seen his knees bother him in any way, so I was very thrown off by his somberness and unwillingness to come to me. Either way, I have an appointment with I think Dr. Ahrens on Tuesday to have him checked out.
