Our corgi has some emotional issues we deal with. She hides her head while going on car rides. She is not scared of the vehicle just the movement of the vehicle. When going outside to use the bathroom if any one is outside(neighbors) she will not go in front of them. If it is windy she turns and wants to go back in. Noises inside the house, computers, vacuums. beeping sounds, she will go to her crate to hide.

David Nightingale Ok thankyou Laura
My cat tested positive for the toxin that is produced by clostridium perfringens. He has had diarrhea now for what seems like forever. He recently was treated with clindamycin for a staph infection in his urinary tract. While on this medicine it cleared up his diarrhea.. For about two months, then it started again. This is when I got a diarrhea panel done and it tested positive for the toxins.
We first tried metronidazole.. No success.
Right now he is on tylan powder and it’s been about a week. He is no longer going on the floor like usual, but I did notice little puddles of diarrhea In the litter boxes. I don’t believe it is any of my other cats because they never have had issues with diarrhea. Well tonight he threw up multiple times. It was mostly his cat food. And colored like his food. I waited about an hour and fed him a little more food which he kept down.
I did not give him his medicine tonight. I am going to call my vet in the morning.
The next step would be for him to go on clindamycin again. This was my vets last choice and she said she really didn’t want him to go on it again. Because it is not the safest medication for cats.
After this clears up he will be going on probiotics and a fiber supplement such as Metamucil.
I’m just really nervous about him being on clindamycin again. Have you seen this problem happen in cats before? Why is he not responding to any medication? Are there any other options? Ugh.
Thank you.

dakoda peterson I’m going to give you the best advice I can give. I have not experienced this personally but I’ve read a little about it.
1. Get an opinion from multiple vets not just one. Some veterinarians have more training in that area than others and some have better meds.
2. Start feeding your cat chicken baby food with rice it will be better for his intestines and less painful.
3.once you found a vet or you decide to stay with what ever vet ask them to retest for parasites. Sounds like he could have possible hookworms even though it’s uncommon he may have it on top of the toxin.
4. Get pedilite or something to help boost your cats electrolytes this is important because with that much diareah he could loose too much fluids.
5. Write down everything you cat does and what time so your vet knows what is going on. Include pee time, color and look of diareah, color of gums, his activity, his pain level, his playfulness. Everything he does while you are there.
And I can’t stress enough call multiple vets and explain what is happening and what is not working okay? Blessed be honey keep us updated.
I need help with my leopard gecko. She has shared a tank with my other female leopard gecko. They have been with each other since I first got them with was 12/27/15 I was feeding my other geckos and came to her’s and Binx tank and her head was bleeding from her right eye and is bruised around her head. She’s barley moving but we can’t get her to the vet till tomorrow because the ones that take reptiles are closed. Either something fell on her or Binx got to her..? I have her in a smaller tank with a hand warmer under a rag, a place for her to hide, water, and a heat lamp slightly turned away from her because her tank is small(not to small) and I don’t want it hurting her eyes.

Anonymous i wouldn’t be surprised if there was a fight. leos are very solitary and territorial, and unless you kept them in a VERY large enclosure, they probably fought.
for now, what you’ve done is fine. there isn’t much else you’ll be able to do until tomorrow. once she’s healed, i wouldn’t put her back in with the other female.
Friends, my beagle, Abby is on bed rest and will be for 6-8 weeks. It’s been a little bit over than a week and I think she is getting fussy/lonely. She would always howl and bark during the day & night. As much as we want to keep her company and be with her 24/7, it’s hard because we all have school, work and other obligations.
When she first started doing this, the family thought there was something wrong and rushed to her side but she just wants to be petted and see people. It’s getting very annoying to having to wake up at 1am because she won’t stop howling or barking, especially when we have to wake up the next day, and sometimes (this is what’s told by my vet) we would ignore her because she has to learn that this might be her life now for a long time and she needs to learn how to self sooth and accept the fact that no one is there to clean her poop or pee right a way…
I understand where my pet is coming from, we cannot communicate with them and they cannot communicate with us. My dog is probably terrified out of her mind as to why she cannot move and has to stay, and truths to be told, I would be bored too if I had to stay in bed for 6-8 weeks. We’ve tried our best to keep her company when we can, but if any owners out there can provide us with some advice as to entertainment wise for pets (maybe a bone she can snack on without gaining so much weight), or some kind of a toy that can keep her entertained, it would be much appreciated.

dakoda peterson Try diapers for one. For two give that dog as much attention you can when your home. Do not give up.

debra yuhasz I didn’t read back so I don’t have all the details, but I’ll bet your dog is terrified and looking to you to fix it. Is she in pain? Dogs absolutely do communicate with us. If I told you some of what my dogs do you’d be convinced. All animals communicate with people but you have to “listen”. Her barking and howling and having to soil her crate have her totally stressed and frightened, Her whole life has changed. Your vet should be giving her something for anxiety. Same as with people…stress is a killer. Her howling is a cry for help. How can you ignore that?
I’ve just gotten a kitten about 3 months ago and he is extremely clingy and dependent on me. He wont do anything without me having to be present. Is there anything wrong with him?
