This Morning I Got Up, And As Normal My 2.5 Y/o Lab Mix (95lbs) Jumped…
This morning I got up, and as normal my 2.5 y/o Lab mix (95lbs) jumped up from where he was sleeping on the floor beside me, and followed me into the bathroom.
As we were leaving the bathroom, I noticed he was having trouble walking. His front legs were straight, but his back end was in a squat position (almost like he was going to take a poop) and shaking very hard.
He was trying to walk back towards the bed, but was having a lot of trouble. I panicked thinking he was about to poop, and tryed to drag him back onto the tiled bathroom floor. Just as quickly as it started, it stopped, and he seems normal again. I assumed it was maybe a muscle cramp or hip spasm.
My husband had told me a few months ago that he’d seen the dog have “seizure-like” shaking and today said it looked exactly the same. Could this actually be a seizure? Duke seems fine now, he ate his breakfast no problem, and is acting like his normal self.
Should I be taking him to the vet this week? Would they be able to do much with only knowing of two episodes?

debra yuhasz I would agree with the wait and see approach if you did not have an underage pup. Trauma and internal injuries are more common in very young pups. Also, at 7 wks. she should not be sleeping most of the time. She should play and be trying to bite your fingers, etc. Then sleep for a bit and be up exploring her world again. Please take her to the vet.

Erika Ceruti First, she sleeps all the time means that she sleep between 18 to 20 hours… Which is normal for a puppy. Second she went to vet yesterday and she’s super healthy.
Third as soon as it happend I called her vet and that’s what they told me.
Fourth fortunately she’s her usual self playing and wiggling her tail and being super active in those moments when she’s awake. Thank you for all your answers. Just wanted to let you know she’s fine and I’m in communication with her vet.

julie brader Hi, it looks more like a circular bald spot on the photo than a lump…maybe its just the angle of the picture. We really couldn’t tell you what this is…..could be anything. You would need to see a Vet for a diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.

Anonymous i would be willing to guess this is a lick granuloma based on what i’ve seen on other dogs. to the vet with you, to make sure your dog doesn’t have pain somewhere on that limb. they can also prescribe a spray that will deter further licking.
what breed is he? i’d wonder if he’s getting enough mental stimulation. in some breeds, if they are not trained every day or worked in some sort of sport, they will resort to self-soothing behaviors like licking limbs. this can turn into OCD (we see this a lot in Doberman Pinschers). so: figure out the cause, make sure your dog’s mental needs are met and exceeded.
My Dog Had A Slipped Disc A Few Years Ago And Injured It Again Last…
My dog had a slipped disc a few years ago and injured it again last year. Last night I was carrying her and set her down on the floor and she started yelping. I immediately though it was her back but i noticed she would help if she moved her left leg. She would lay down and kick her leg back and Yelp some more.
I gave her some pain medicine and later on I took her potty with her sling and I felt a pretty big pop in her left leg. I took her to the vet today’s a he took an X-ray. He said that the hip didn’t look dislocated and her knee looked fine, he said he noticed a calcification in one of her discs from her injuring it.
She would hold her leg up and not put any pressure on it. The vet tested her reflexes and said they were almost non existent and he only got a pain response when he pulls her leg back. He put her on some anti inflammatory and now she try’s to use the leg but it looks like the leg sort of tilts inward.
I think her pain is finally under control now. The vet said it could be that she dislocated her hip and the pop I felt was it going back in. He also said she could’ve torn a ligament but her leg felt ok, it just had a tiny bit of extra play. And he also said that it could be the calcification is pushing on a nerve and that’s why she can’t really feel her leg.
I have her on pain meds and anti inflammatories and crate rest.
I don’t know what to think or what is going on, I got no straight answers. Does anyone have experience with hip/leg/back issues? What does it sound like happened to you?

Sygaese Srynguaveilii It’s not common to find a poisoned mouse, whether it lives inside or outside. Your cat is most likely meowing because everything is new to him, and he’s probably anxious, getting used to everything. Don’t worry, there’s not a serious problem. If your cat had caught and eaten a poisoned mouse, your cat would probably not meow at all and wouldn’t eat or drink. It’s most likely because he’s in a whole new place around new people and new smells, and is probably just anxious. He will get used to it and calm down eventually. 🙂

Briana Briggs Okay good thank you. So he seen a mouse and was throwing it around but I also think he killed it so I took it and threw it out. I’m just scared my cat will get sick from biting or messing with the mouse. Do you have any suggestions?

Sygaese Srynguaveilii Just keep a close eye on him, make sure he doesn’t start acting any differently (e.g. sudden loss of appetite, lethargy, vomit, etc.) and if you notice anything odd or unusual or that something’s changed, you should see a vet.

Everyday When I Come Home There Is A Small Pile Of Garbage From The Bathroom…
Everyday when I come home there is a small pile of garbage from the bathroom, left in my room in the exact same spot everyday. They are small and neat piles. If you go to the bathroom garbage it looks as though she was rummaging through to find the right pieces to bring. She only leaves them in my room, not any of my other family members and it’s always just right inside my doorway. What does this mean? Why is she doing this?

Her Eyes Are Watering, Excess Snot, Sometimes It’s Mixed With Blood, Excess Sneezing, Lethargic…
Her eyes are watering, excess snot, sometimes it’s mixed with blood, excess sneezing, lethargic, her appetite is down. Shes been having trouble breathing and coughing. Sometimes her breathing sounds “wet”. My vet said there’s a chance something could be stuck in her nose or could be cancer. I’m very short on money but if theres a really good chance she could have something stuck in her nose I’ll find the funds to get the tests done.

Anonymous honestly, if my dog were obviously miserable, i’d do anything and everything i could to figure out the cause and a treatment plan.
i would absolutely notify them of the incidents, with dates, times, and durations if you’re able to give that information. they may want to see video of future episodes, as well as immediately bringing him in the next time this occurs.
If I’d had my phone on me I would definitely have videoed it. But I’m not even sure I would have had time. The whole thing lasted maybe 10-15 seconds. I can’t remember when my husband noticed the first one – he told me about it at the time but I brushed it off thinking he was over-reacting
understood – just trying to help you think of things the vet will probably want to know, especially going forward. they may also want to know about potential triggers…so, what the dog was doing just before the incident, whether they were calm or excited, etc. context clues can be a huge help with things like this.
