    Hi, You can type more in a different section, that is just the title of the post. It sounds like he is in a lot of pain or discomfort, please get him examined by a vet.

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    There is really not enough information to identify the exact cause of his pain.  However, my recommendation is to see a vet as soon as possible obviously he is in pain and needs to be treated.

    Yes, they are frequently used together. The rimadyl is anti-inflammatory and the buprenex is stronger pain control, they work best when used together.

    I would be.  Sounds potentially wormy.  Please get her to the vet today.

    My kitten had a very round bloated tummy. It ended up that he had Giardia which was easily treated with medication and daily bathing. I suggest making a vet appointment. My best to Emma – 🙂

    Are you encouraging the brumation? It’s not something I typically recommend encouraging. Low temperatures may be a cause so raising the temp, eliminating drafts, etc. is what I would suggest to encourage eating, etc. If that fails to encourage him to eat, drink, and defecate on his own, I would recommend a physical exam and consult to make sure you’re doing things right as far as husbandry. You probably know this but make sure you’re provided UVB light and change the light bulb every 6 months.

    I agree with Dr. Knouse – Please try to prevent brumation.  

  3. Brendan Cahalan

    No I am not we got an adult at the pet store and it is in brumation ( we found that out 1-2 months later) and it was then to late to take it back and right now we are deciding if it is to much care or if I should just take care of it and if it is to much care I will sell it to someone who is obviously much more experienced I am definitely not trying to cause it to brumation I’m very sorry I must have stated the question wrong.

  4. Lindsey Knouse

    Just try to increase the temperature. Depending on where you’re located I can recommend a vet that sees bearded dragons who could teach you everything you would need to know.

    If she isn’t eating, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.  Please, get offline and get her to the vet NOW.  She’s too young to have a puppy as it is – this was like letting a 10 year old child have a baby!  There are a whole host of potential issues going on!

  2. Dawn Clark

    Thank you and FYI she was left on our door step! Thanks again for your advice 🙂

    Understood. Please get her spayed ASAP.

    Based on your other post, I worry about infection.  A friend’s dobe bitch lost almost an entire litter from bad milk as a result of an infection.  Get them both to the vet NOW…and please plan her spay, she was entirely too young to have a puppy.

Hi, my dog’s face is very swollen looking, he keeps leaving the room where people are, and rubbing his face on the ground and itching his face. He keeps getting up and moving constantly and has a pink rash. Any idea what might be wrong?

    It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. Was he outside or came inside and it started happening? Did he receive any medications recently? If it gets bad it can progress. Benadryl may help but if it’s bad, but he may really need injectable medications so I would recommend taking him to a vet near you. Make sure he is breathing ok.
