my dog just ate a small amount of nutella and i want to know if she could be alright?
My 5.5month old blue heeler hurt her back right paw. I believe it is one toe, she lets me press and extend her leg/joints with little reaction. When I move her 2nd toe to her side, or spread her middle two toes is when she lets me know it hurts. No whining or whimpering, she just gently puts pressure on my hand with her mouth.
Injury occurred yesterday, about 36 hours ago. Yesterday she would put the leg down, even ran a bit. Today she has the leg lifted/hanging above the ground. She will use it to jump up onto couch, I’m trying to limit her as much as possible. Other than that she is completely lame in her back leg. Paw has slight swelling. Not much at all.
Please help, I want to do what’s best for her, and am willing to do whatever it takes financially. But I am in a position where I need advice if seeing a vet is necessary, or to monitor and see if there’s improvement. I just don’t have the money to walk into my vets office unless I suspect I need to see a professional.
I would have her on crate rest for 24-48 hours. This means no jumping on couches and all outside visits should be on leash for potty needs, then back inside. If it resolves itself in that time, then it’s just a strain or sprain of some sort. If it doesn’t, then you need to go to the vet.
Help please! My 2 year old female cat is throwing up red stuff, it looks like blood! I also noticed I felt something in her stomach. Do you think she ate something??? Please help I dont want her to die :(!
You need to get your cat to the vet NOW.
She NEEDS to be on an age-appropriate puppy food. If she isn’t eating, then something is wrong with her. Please get her to a vet.
My dog is elderly and has seasonal allergies
(Unrelated, but he also has chronic dry skin and hip dysplasia)
I came home after a few hours gone and found that both of the whites of his eyes were swollen and pink, with in the past 2 hours they have gotten worse, I have given him his usual meds plus benadryl for his eyes, what should I do? Is this an emergency? All vets offices are closed.
My dog will not eat solud food but drinks water ,lathargy , vomiting, what doi do
10 yr old F Bichon Frise: 7 days now no solid food, occasional water taken, small dark or mustard liquidy stools, some vomiting. Vet gave her Pectalin, Metro, nausea and fluid shots – no improvement yet.
Call your vet back, she needs to be re-examined!
Any helpful suggestions?
Honestly, without examining the dog it is difficult to give recommendations, however a steroid may help decrease inflammation. Was blood work done?
I checked his feet, nails, webbing, joints, etc. nothing is swollen and he does not pull away or whimper when I touch of maneuver his leg. It has been two hours since running. He slept for awhile, but once he got up he was still limping, and it almost seemed a little worse. He is still happy (he got up for a treat).
I would be willing to guess he pulled or strained something. How old is he? I’d have him on reduced exercise for 24-48 hours, and if he doesn’t improve, then I’d get him to the vet.
Thank you! He is a 2 year old golden retriever, and still really goofy when he runs (he doesn’t stop in time, runs into things, etc.) I’m hoping he just pulled something. My vet is closed until Monday, so I can’t call for any advice.
Put him on crate rest until then. That means no exercise, and all outside trips should be on leash.
Thank you. He seems a little reluctant to get up, and he has trouble getting up the stairs. I just took him outside on a leash to go to the bathroom, and he was putting weight on it outside (still limping though), but holding it up again when we got inside. Is it possible that it is just a pulled muscle?
Thank you for your help! After looking at it a few more times, his ankle is slightly swollen, and that seems to be the area bothering him, so I’m thinking its a sprained ankle. I appreciate your help!
My pet is being found a lump on the lymphatic area, so we go to a vet and make a biopsy, after the biopsy, i found that the area is swelling, it is normal? or anything happened? Seek for help
Contact the vet that did the biopsy and find out if it’s normal.
How much? What size dog? Is there xylitol in Nutella?
