added note he went swimming in the creek yesterday and now his foam looks like algae from the creek in it…..could he have creek water in his lungs? When he lays still no coughing…..when he is active….coughing and retching.

This Was One Month Ago. Dog Got Put Back On Pain Meds. He Is 10…
This was one month ago. Dog got put back on pain meds. He is 10. Forgot to ask if that bone chip was something to consider removing. Vet never discussed the option. Just need to know bc the healing is taking time. Every other day pain med admin. He seems to reinjure or as soon as meds roll off he’s back to pain. But with the meds he acts fine. Is it something else?

Dawn Ferara, DVM I agree with Krista, this is a question for your vet. If you think it’s taking too long to heal I would recommend seeing a orthopedic surgeon and getting their opinion.
Good Luck

I Changed My Bettas Water Two Days Ago And This Morning He Would Not…
Hello,
I changed my bettas water two days ago and this morning he would not dance for me and I noticed his gills have a red tinge to them. He is active other than not dancing for breakfast and doesn’t seem to have difficulty breathing. All my reaserch come up with Ammonia burns but that doesn’t make sense with it happening after a water change instead of in dirty water.
He lives in a 3 gallon bowl that I do a 75%water change on weekly. I put aquarium salt in the water as well as conditioner and let it sit in the same room as his bowl for 2 days. I am very worried about him and need to know how to help him as I am leaving today for the weekend and have to give my mom instructions on how to medicate and care for him.
Please Help!

PK Dennis Diarrhea is the body’s way of removing toxins. One or two bouts of diarrhea is not anything to worry about or to try to remedy – I think recovery. Fasting is always my first reaction to diarrhea – you want the gut to clear and rest (12 hours per Dr. Krista’s recommendation). I encourage fluid intake (offer lots of fresh water, give ice cubes if he/she likes to lick them, I will even add a little broth to the water if I don’t think they are drinking enough).
Probiotics are always good to aid recovery.

Anonymous Fancy rats are prone to tumors, and I’d be willing to bet that’s what this is. Please get her to the vet TODAY about this.

debra yuhasz Your dog is allergic to it. Use a different topical treatment. There are several others you can try.

Brittany Knox Is it that she’s allergic or could she just possibly have sensitive skin that causes it to dry her out

Dawn Ferara, DVM I really don’t have an answer it could be an infection (bacterial, fungal or viral), cancer or a traumatic injury (like a burn). My advice is to take him to the vet for an accurate diagnosis. If he stops eating or seems painful it is more important to get him to a vet quicker, however, if he is still eating and not painful he doesn’t need to see the vet as fast.
He was vaccinated a clue of weeks ago and he doesn’t have any kind of parasites.
Would he still have a bump a couple of weeks after getting vaccinated?
