that’s odd. i’d wonder if she’s leaving them as gifts?
My dog had a slipped disc a few years ago and injured it again last year. Last night I was carrying her and set her down on the floor and she started yelping. I immediately though it was her back but i noticed she would help if she moved her left leg. She would lay down and kick her leg back and Yelp some more.
I gave her some pain medicine and later on I took her potty with her sling and I felt a pretty big pop in her left leg. I took her to the vet today’s a he took an X-ray. He said that the hip didn’t look dislocated and her knee looked fine, he said he noticed a calcification in one of her discs from her injuring it.
She would hold her leg up and not put any pressure on it. The vet tested her reflexes and said they were almost non existent and he only got a pain response when he pulls her leg back. He put her on some anti inflammatory and now she try’s to use the leg but it looks like the leg sort of tilts inward.
I think her pain is finally under control now. The vet said it could be that she dislocated her hip and the pop I felt was it going back in. He also said she could’ve torn a ligament but her leg felt ok, it just had a tiny bit of extra play. And he also said that it could be the calcification is pushing on a nerve and that’s why she can’t really feel her leg.
I have her on pain meds and anti inflammatories and crate rest.
I don’t know what to think or what is going on, I got no straight answers. Does anyone have experience with hip/leg/back issues? What does it sound like happened to you?
What happens when the cat catches a mouse, even if the mouse are poised? I can’t stop the cat but I also don’t want anything to happen to my cat.

My 12 year old dog is having hip trouble. Not putting weight on right leg and left gives out. she seems happy but is in pain. What can I do.
Everyday when I come home there is a small pile of garbage from the bathroom, left in my room in the exact same spot everyday. They are small and neat piles. If you go to the bathroom garbage it looks as though she was rummaging through to find the right pieces to bring. She only leaves them in my room, not any of my other family members and it’s always just right inside my doorway. What does this mean? Why is she doing this?

Anything found around the house, not very smelly and not something that would sting which could be use to soothe skin itching and irritating after being shaved for a procedure? (neck area, dog)
Her eyes are watering, excess snot, sometimes it’s mixed with blood, excess sneezing, lethargic, her appetite is down. Shes been having trouble breathing and coughing. Sometimes her breathing sounds “wet”. My vet said there’s a chance something could be stuck in her nose or could be cancer. I’m very short on money but if theres a really good chance she could have something stuck in her nose I’ll find the funds to get the tests done.
My 55 pound pit bull needs to take antibiotics (ear infection). I have clindamycin, 300 mg each. How many should he take per day and for how long?
She is a 2 year old pure pug. She is up to date with her vaccinations and has had diarrhea for about 2-3 days. This afternoon she pooped that white slimy liquid and I’m concerned now and I would like to know how to help her.
My kitten has some discoloration by his mouth. I took a closer look and it doesn’t look good.
Recently, my cat has had possible seizures. This only happens when he gets in a grooming position where he twists his upper body around to be able to lick his back. He then stiffens up, and falls over. A couple of days ago, he urinated on my bed while he was having a possible seizure. Are these seizures or a nerve getting pinched?
It’s not common to find a poisoned mouse, whether it lives inside or outside. Your cat is most likely meowing because everything is new to him, and he’s probably anxious, getting used to everything. Don’t worry, there’s not a serious problem. If your cat had caught and eaten a poisoned mouse, your cat would probably not meow at all and wouldn’t eat or drink. It’s most likely because he’s in a whole new place around new people and new smells, and is probably just anxious. He will get used to it and calm down eventually. 🙂
Okay good thank you. So he seen a mouse and was throwing it around but I also think he killed it so I took it and threw it out. I’m just scared my cat will get sick from biting or messing with the mouse. Do you have any suggestions?

Just keep a close eye on him, make sure he doesn’t start acting any differently (e.g. sudden loss of appetite, lethargy, vomit, etc.) and if you notice anything odd or unusual or that something’s changed, you should see a vet.
