    Most dogs are dreaming when things like running and twitching happens.  It’s a normal part of their sleep pattern.  What makes you believe this might be seizures? 

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Seizures are very different, even scary.  Normally they happen when the dog is initially awake and the dog can not be aroused from a seizure but can be from a dream.

    If you think it may be a seizure,  try to wake the dog (call by name,not by touch so you don’t get bitten). Try getting a video to show to your vet.

I Was Just Wondering, How Can You Tell Wether A Cat Has A Sprain Or…

I was just wondering, how can you tell wether a cat has a sprain or a broken leg?

    This would require a vet visit for x-rays and experienced hands on the cat.  In the interim, I would keep the cat confined to a dog crate to keep him quiet.

    Because of the breed, I’d be worried about a luxating patella.

Hi. My Dog Has Been Puking For Three Days. Mostly At Night After He Has…

Hi. My dog has been puking for three days. Mostly at night after he has drank a couple gulps of water, but always after drinking. He has been to the vet where he was given a penicillin-like medicine that’s white and came with a syringe as well as some pills for nausea. The problem is that my family will be leaving for a cruise soon and this includes close relatives so he will have to stay at a kennel or something. What should I do? Can they take him if he’s sick like this? I’m extremely worried.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t leave while my dog’s that sick.  But that’s just me…this is why I get vacation insurance.

    Call the vet and talk with them about this.  They may have boarding options.

Hello, My Cat Came Home Limping. Only One Of Her Back Legs Is Affected. She Is…

Hello,
My cat came home limping. Only one of her back legs is affected. She is in pain, however, her leg looks normal and she is otherwise healthy. There is no swelling that I can see. Could it be a sprain or muscle injury?

    Thank you for responding so quickly. She is resting in our garage right now

    Update: Rugrat is climbing our garage attic stairs. She can put weight on her leg but you can tell she’s in pain. Other than that she is eating, drinking and using her litter box as usual.

    My cats ALWAYS do a little something to there selfs , an when they were smaller , they would climb on things an jump off an limp for a day or two an then be fine . i took him to the vet after the first time an they told me it was a sprain an another time it happened to my other cat there was nothing wrong with him , he was just limping lol so sometimes unless you see a wound or they look badly in pain i honestly wouldn’t worry too much unless they persist to stay off the leg longer than 24/48 hours

A Neighbor Has A Door Dasher That Seems To Get Out *frequently* Despite Her Owners…

A neighbor has a door dasher that seems to get out *frequently* despite her owners’ best efforts to keep her indoors. Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this behavior?

I do not have any further information, but my suggestions included diffusers with citrus scents near entry points, crating in a large dog crate, and keeping the cat confined to a room with a closing door when people enter/exit the home. Is there anything else you can think of?

    Hello, I would just make sure the door is closed and LOCKED. I don’t know any other suggestions for you, other than just “hissing” her away from the door. This means to make a noise much like a hiss noise. Good luck!

    Thank you!

    It appears the cat in question door dashes when it’s opened (when people enter/exit the home). We live in a city known for B&E crime, and I know these folks keep the door closed/locked.

    I’ll mention the hissing but I can confirm that this won’t work for a determined feline. Hopefully theirs is more sensitive than my brat. 🙂

    I dig. Passing this along, thanks.

I Went To The See The Vet Because My Dog Had A Bump On Top…

I went to the see the vet because my dog had a bump on top of his paw and wouldn’t walk on it. On the x-rays it showed one of his “toe” bone pushed in next to the other “toe” bone (broken) and it requires surgery they said. but right now he is walking fine with no limp. Instead of it needing surgery could it have been possible that it just needed a cast and time?
