I’ve got an emergency appointment for his at 12.
My dog just stands in one place and acts like it hurts to move. He’ll start panting and had some saliva drip from his mouth. He’s never acted like this before..please help!

My dog, Sonny is acting very weird. He was fine yesterday before we went to bed. He just stands in one spot and acts like it hurts to move and he has saliva that’ll drip from his mouth. Any help is appreciated!

What’s better a large kennel or a crate to keep your dogs in while your not home?

Dawn Ferara, DVM I prefer a crate but I really don’t think it matters.

Anonymous i’m not sure of a difference…are you talking about plastic vs wire?
both of my dobes preferred plastic vari-kennels. that’s what my breeder has in her home, so they came to us already adjusted to the cave-like feel of the vari-kennel.
HOWEVER. if you have a puppy, you’d want to find one that has a barrier you can put in for housebreaking purposes.

PK Dennis I think it depends on how long you are away. If you expect to be away longer than 8 hours for an adult dog, it is better to have a kennel with access to the outdoors, and a section that is inside and warm — so the dog can get out of the sun, rain, cold.
If on the other hand you only are gone short periods of time then any type of crate will keep your dog(s) safe and comfortable while you are gone. Get them to love their crate by allowing them to go in and out when you are at home. Give them stuffed Kongs to chew when they are in their crates.
And always, always, give them a treat when they go into the kennel or crate. My boys will tear though the house to get to the basement kennel each time I say “kennel boys” cause they know I will scatter tiny treats in the kennel for them before I lock the gate.

Dawn Ferara, DVM It all depends on the dogs attitudes and they all should be fixed.

Anonymous i understand pit bulls are dog-aggressive as well as same-sex aggressive, particularly the bitches. i don’t know that i’d want to add another to the mix you already have going in your house. it could upset the balance and cause problems.
I have a chihuahua she’s about 7 years old this is the first time it’s happened to her as she fell over her body stiff and she looks like she’s having trouble breathing what can it be
My wiener dog has been dragging her rear legs. It could be a slipped disc, but I don’t know what to do.
im needing a small donation of $150 to take my dog into an emergency vet clinic. he is peeing blood, vomiting, and is very weak. he is a 7 yr old dog. a duschound. im not in town with him im out of town. im just needing help asap.
my 7 year old duschound dog. he is peeing blood, vomiting, has rapid breathing, and is very weak. i cant take him to a vet because i need $150 submission fee to get him into an emergency vet clinic. im just needing some help with either money support or guidance on what to do to help him.
She delivered them in a flower pot in our garden, and I have no idea what to do! The kittens are lying there crying for milk, but the mother will not even look at them. It’s horrifying, and I am truly at a loss. We have a dog, Buddy, and he’s a bit too playful to be gentle enough around new-born kittens, so I’m trying my best to keep him away from them for now. If anyone has ANY suggestions at all, PLEASE let me know, I would truly appreciate it.
What else could be causing it? She’s up to date with wormers and flea treatments

Annie Ryan Thank you so much for your reply. I’ll call them first thing tomorrow. I have gradually changed her food from Arden grange to the wainwrights grain free a couple of months ago so maybe that might have caused an allergy? I feel so sorry for her, she seems to be in discomfort and I can’t help her.
if your vet isn’t open, i’d be seriously considering going to an emergency vet.
We don’t have any emergency vet places around here 🙁
does your vet have an emergency phone number on their answering service?
Not that I know of. I did message one of my friends that works at a vet clinic to see if maybe they have one
that’s good. i hope he can get in somewhere. good luck.
Thanks! I hope so, he’s really starting to worry me.
