When we arrived home from work, there was a grease can in the living room he had gotten into. Unless it is a major coincidence, we believe that he ingested who knows how much. Are these symptoms normal for grease ingestion in a small dog? He has had no diarrhea at all, and only vomited one time. The other times he is dry heaving it kind of sounds like he is wheezing
She chews plastic and grinds her teeth a lot as well.
She is 8 years old and does not go outside except to use the bathroom. She is now at the point where she has just little squirts when she goes. The problem is she is sqirting all over my house and on my bed last night. She can’t seem to be able to control it. What could be the matter, and what should I do to help her?
At this point I am concerned she is dehydrated and think she needs to see a vet immediately! There are many reasons for diarrhea and the cause could be anything from ingesting something she shouldn’t to something infectious and really everything in between.
She really needs to see a vet, please get her into see one ASAP!
Good Luck

There is a chance that is Addison’s disease look it up your dog has many symptoms I would think your dog needs a vet to diagnose
My dog has Addison’s and he had the same starting symptoms. Is she a white coat? If so white dog shaker syndrome is also a possibility at this point.
My pet behavior change looks like something bother on his ear i check but i havent seen anything. could be a tick inside the ear whats bother him..?
If he has a bothersome ear, it COULD be a foreign body inside the ear but it could also be an ear infection. Please get him to the vet.
Thank you very much for your help i will take him to the vet.. infection can happen in one moment to another i mean he was fine and 20 min lameanhe came to me i saw him shaking but he doesn’t complain or cry but he doesn’t let me grab his ear at all.
How do I know is my rabbit is stressed and how can I help and prevent it.
To find out if your rabbit is stressed, count his/her breathing. He/she should breathe 30-60 times a minute. If he/she is stressed try physical therapy. Just pet your rabbit and talk to it gently.
Because we aren’t the vet who prescribed this to your dog, we cannot answer. Please ask your vet.
He’s chubby and I don’t notice any weight loss. He still eats as usual. He does drink a lot of water. They said to listen to his heart to see if it sounds “like a washing machine”. I have no idea! Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t see the vet until monday. Am I freaking out over nothing? I need to know how serious this is.
There really is no point in worrying yourself to death until Monday! I mean remember the Internet can be wrong too!!
I just can’t even sleep. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He’s still just a baby. I’d do anything to make sure he was ok.
Yikes! What kind of glass? How large? How sharp? How many pieces? I would do my very best to find a way to see a vet. If you don’t know, you might have to later anyway with an emergency on your hands! At least call them.
I’ve seen couple times a vet feed cotton (I think it was) but all that has so many dangerous variables I would not risk it ever.
Thank you for the financial advice that’s not the question I asked now when I got the puppy I was financially sound until I lost my job a few days ago but that’s not why I’m here I’m here to do what I can to help him but thank you for not answering anything at all your a crappy Vet
My chewawa has a puffed up face like swelling a human would have when they have a severe tooth ache. Unknown if she had a run in with another animal. Should I attempt to treat her face with ice. So far she does not react violently.
Sounds like an infected tooth to me – she needs to be seen by a vet. She will most likely be placed on antibiotics to fight the infection so the swelling can go down, then she may need a root canal to prevent a more serious problem from developing.
It might be an insect bite, or an animal bite.
Please get her to a vet as soon as possible so you can get to the root of the problem.
My dog was breathing really hard when I got home, expresses pain towards her rear end, won’t let me touch her tail, is gassy, threw up earlier and it had a quarter of an unchewed rawhide bone in it, now she’s very lethargic, walking around in pain, her breathing is shallow and is having spasms on her bed, she’s an otherwise healthy 3 and a half year old catahoula American bulldog mix…..
This sounds like a potential blockage. Please get your dog to the vet NOW…DO NOT wait on this. Blockages and obstructions are usually fatal if not handled quickly.
i am not an expert, but i think you should take him to vet immediately
