He should be fine. A lot of pet owners feed a raw meat diet and it doesn’t cause harm but since he threw up I would keep a close watch on him. Call the vet if he continues to not be himself.

I’ve had my cat Ronnie for 2 years, and never had a problem. He has been neutered and had worm and flee treatment. I havn’t changed his food or his litter. His fur and skin seems fine and healthy and he always eats his food. I just don’t know why he is doing this, and don’t know how to stop it???

debra yuhasz Fresh, raw meat will not hurt your dog. Spoiled meat or a misplaced bone can cause all kinds of nasty problems. I lived in Homestead for about 30 yrs. I highly recommend Dr. Gilley. Best dog vet I’ve ever met and less expensive than the rest.

My Pug Has Had This Swollen Lump On Her Front Paw In Between Her Toes…
My pug has had this swollen lump on her front paw in between her toes for a couple weeks now. We had previously assumed it was some kind of fungus and had been keeping it clean. It still hasn’t hasn’t gone away and it’s pretty big and inflamed. It’s reddish brown and normally it didn’t hurt her when we touched it. It also doesn’t hurt for her to walk. My dad tried to pop it this morning and it just oozed a clear fluid which then turned a little bloody. Even after it was popped it didn’t seem to decrease the size. What could this be?
I have also included a photo.

Jana Well, the hope is that whatever made its way down came out. Jasmine once accidentally swallowed a sock. She threw it up and all was fine. So the question is whether he threw up all he ate or not and whether if something remained it can make its way out safely. I’d be watching him very vigilantly for signs of trouble. If loose stools continue, get worse, he keeps vomiting, refusing food, starts looking or acting ill, I’d see a vet asap.

Until Recently, He Was High Energy And Playful, Despite Being Underweight. Now He Will Not…
Until recently, he was high energy and playful, despite being underweight. Now he will not play, and lays down immediately if not eating or eliminating. He has also gone from EXTREMELY affectionate to seemingly avoiding physical contact

Anonymous I’d be getting him to the vet. Sounds like he needs it.

Amy Mize Thanks I spent $5,000 on him at the vet since January I was trying to get input from other sources

Anonymous Because this is a recent change, it’s warranted.

PK Dennis It sounds to me that he is in pain – the avoiding physical contact. Have you found a Great Dane group? Often things like this are specific to a breed and other Dane owners will point you in the right direction quicker than folks not as familiar with that particular breed. I found a Scottie group on Facebook that has given me tons of help with my new Scottie mix puppy since my first Scot was older when I adopted him.
When I hear about thin dogs that won’t gain weight I immediately think about Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). This is a condition where the dog’s pancreas does not produce sufficient enzymes for the dog to properly digest their food and they can not gain weight no matter how much they eat. The undigested food in their gut leads to pain and and produces very large stool.
Enzyme supplements or feeding raw pancreas (you need to get the whole pancreas and feed it fresh, I believe) is the solution. Here is a link to a Whole Dog Journal article about this: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/12_3/features/Exocrine-Pancreatic-Insuffinciency-in-Dogs_16109-1.html

Sam Brizz Ask on the Facebook page “Great Dane Rescue, Inc” there are a lot of Great Dane owners there with a lot of great knowledge of the breed

Anonymous Thank you for caring about this wild reptile! People like you are refreshing. 🙂
I would get the turtle to an exotics vet. There are a number of things you can use but if applied improperly they can be seriously harmful. It’s better to get the vet involved to ensure you’re using the right stuff in the right way. If you don’t want to go this route, please contact a wildlife rehabber (your local SPCA should have phone numbers for you).

Zack . Thank you I’ll see what I can do.
Sudden changes in urination (location, frequency, etc.) could mean a UTI, ESPECIALLY in tomcats. Please get him to the vet for a urinalysis.
