hairballs are a natural thing for cats. you can’t really prevent them.
My Dog Is A 45 Lb. German Shepherd Mixed With American Terrier 7 Year Old…
My dog is a 45 lb. German Shepherd mixed with American Terrier 7 year old suffering from something that I don’t know. This started about 4 months ago and has progressed to the point to where he constantly needs a cone on. He cobstantly agressivly licks his underbelly to the point where it has become raw and leathery.at times the area is red and swollen and others its is just leathery looking. Sometimes the area is moist and has a foul odor.recently he has started scratching his nose to the point to where he bleeds and when he is pet he favors those ares.please refer tot the pictures I have included. The vets gave him steroids and antibiotics buy that didn’t seem to help.We have also changed his food as recommended by the vet but nothing changed. the skin scrape of the area also came back negative for bacteria and mites. It sucks that I don’t know what the cause is, please help.

I Took My Cat To A Vet Because She Started Vomiting And Had Diarrhea As…
I took my cat to a vet because she started vomiting and had diarrhea as well with fever. The vet gave her 3 injection along with a medication I had to give her later that night. However, the next day she still vomited, as well as today but the diarrhea stopped. I really need to know if this is normal since her body is trying to get rid of the virus. And what signs should I look for that can be alarming.

I Don’t Know How Many Of You Specialize In Worms, But My Worm Has Been…
I don’t know how many of you specialize in worms, but my worm has been worming a lot lately. If anyone can help, I feel bad and don’t know WAT 2 doo. That brings me to the point, my dog eats his own poopies.
Anyways, the more important stuff than the poopies, is the balls. My cat Luis has been spitting out his hairballs, I’m trying to feed them back but don’t know if it’s the right thing to doo. Plz help.
~ Love, Jeff.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Jeff,
This is a fairly common problem. Behavior modification and picking up the droppings is a non-medical way of fixing this issue. However, there is a medication available from your vet which you feed to your dog and it makes the feces taste bad so your dog will not want to eat the feces.Good luckDr Dawn -
Brett Raio Thank you Dr. Dawn, I want to make his poop taste so bad, he doesn’t even want to poop anymore, especially not inside the house. Not to the point where he explodes lol but to the point he holds it in until he gets outside then doesn’t eat it because it tastes really good. And because he likes doo doo, he mustn’t like poopies. Thank you. ~ My name is Jeff.
