Ask questions and share about your pet's health to help others.
My dogs left front paw towards where your wrist would be on a person and the arm part as well it is very stiff and the swelling has been there for 3 weeks about every other day she has been limping very bad putting ice on it does not help
i really need advice on this and im trying to figure if i really want to work with wild animals to , i want to be the doctor that just talks aboutu medicien and evaluate medication also the doctor to make medicine one day like where do i start am i on the right track .
I don’t know about learning to be an animal doctor by reading a book — but I will suggest that you start volunteering your time with a vet or animal clinic. You will learn how to work with animals, and get enough exposure to understand if you really want to make this your life’s work.
great idea ! but does it count that i already have pets at home and watch the surgery videos on youtube .
Yes that helps but you still need to volunteer at a vet’s office.
im trying to be a vetrinarian myself but im just doing my ged for now do you have a book i could probably study from befor i start college .? or a tip
Hey, as you are still studying, you should take your baby to some other vet for now. Something is clearly wrong with him/her. And it doesn’t seem like you can treat it at home.
Take care
your cat needs a vet, Eboni. please try to find a way to get her there today.
i actually took her and it was just a cheack up i know i need to take her but i was hopeing i could get a home remedy or give her a bubble bath or changer her food i think she is allergic to her food . i asked a vetrinarian but wasint able to reply .
what could i do for her now tnat wont charge me becouse im not working . thats going to cost me
yes, veterinary care does cost. however, if your cat is constipated AND has an extremely itchy eye, waiting to see if it resolves is not the wisest choice. your cat needs a vet. you would take a sick child to a doctor…a sick pet needs a vet.
please, find a way to make it happen.
well hello there , i suggest you pick up the dog and send he or she straight to the veterinarian he could die from being locked that way .
My malamute is acting very lethargic and has mucous in both eyes. The past two days is when he’s turned
My suggestion is to visit your vet, it sounds like your dog is starting to fight off some disease and only your vet can diagnose what is wrong.
Good Luck

I have a very active Pomchi (pomeranian/chihuahua mix), he was playing fine then I noticed him limping. Front left foot. He is not whimpering and I can move his paw back and forth. Do you think it is a slight sprain? What can I do?
It could be a slight sprain, but it’s more likely he stepped on something. I would check the paw carefully for injuries or something lodged between his toes.
Other than that I would watch him for a few days and try to keep him resting and if he is still painful on Monday I would take him to your local vet.
I have two cats one that’s 4 and one that’s 2 the younger cat is constantly attacking the older cat and as a result of this my cat is over grooming and scratching alot and lost hair! Can anyone recommend what to do please
Can you give the older cat her own space? Sounds like she needs a break…
My 9 month old puppy has been given pyrantel liquid wormer multiple times, but the worms are still there. I made the mistake of letting her pick up a dead squirrel, so I think that’s where she got the worms. I used this wormer. https://www.southernstates.com/catalog/p-1443-happy-jack-liqui-vict-2x-wormer-2oz.aspx
I first noticed the worms because I saw dried yellow rice shaped things under her tail, and she had soft runny bloody stool with golden worms. After I gave the medicine, those worms went away and her poop is hard again, but the worms are now small and white. What kind of worms are small and white, and are not affected by pyrantel? Thanks.
sounds like you’re treating the wrong kinds of worms. have you taken your puppy to the vet to get the correct wormer?
Yeah, I figure as much. 🙁 It’s been very frustrating. And no, I haven’t.
that should be your next stop. that should be your first stop, really – can’t treat correctly without knowing which worms you’re treating, and whether there are others you don’t know about, you know?
AND never buy over-the-counter wormers at a grocery store! Many of the ones for sale are not effective, and some can kill your pup! Always go to a vet to be sure you get your pup the help it needs while keeping it safe.
You seem to be describing tapeworm. This comes from your pup ingesting a flea. The best place to get meds for tapeworm at the proper dosage for your dog is to get it from the vet. Pyrantel works well for everything EXCEPT, you guessed it, tapeworm. She will have to be wormed twice a week to 10 days apart to ensure the worms are gone. Also, your puppy can re-infect as long as he has fleas to accidently swallow.
maybe you should get the dog a check up becouse if the ice didnt work it could be something seriouse .
I do not have money
try giving him treat the to the best of my knowledge , this should get him to stop laying around he could problay excersize it out like therepy , he might be just mimicking someone .
She does get up and walk on it she even plays on it
I seriously doubt this dog with a swollen joint is mimicking anything. She could have a broken bone, or torn ligaments. If rest has not solved the problem it is time to take her to see a vet. Many vets offer Care Credit that allows you to make payments over time. Some vets will allow you to work off payments. Call the vets and rescue organizations in your area and tell them your problems – someone out there will help you and your dog get that medical treatment she deserves. She is probably in terrible pain – dogs are very good at hiding how much pain they are in! Do the right thing, get her help.
Thank you
i guss so i was just thinking positive know one want to think so sickly about this creature . animals to mimic even dogs .
