    I would get her to the vet. A persistent wet cough could be something related to heart problems.

I Recently Adopted A Puppy. She’s Has 2 Sets Of Shots. I Just Found Out…

I recently adopted a puppy. She’s has 2 sets of shots. I just found out my neighbors dogs have parvo and 2 have died. Will my dog now get it? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

    keep your puppy away from their yard and sidewalk until she’s fully vaccinated.

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Parvo is spread through urine and feces!  It cann also live in the environment for years!  My recommendation is to stay away from your neighbors and any contact with there animals until your pup is fully vaccinated.

    Good Luck

We Just Lost One Of Our Cats To FIP. Our Surviving Cat Has Not Been…

We just lost one of our cats to FIP. Our surviving cat has not been himself, he won’t even play. He does not appear to have any FIP symptoms. He did lose his appetite for a few days after she passed, but he has since been eating regularly. He is very healthy, he just seems sad and lonely. Will we be able to get him another buddy (Could he get another cat sick now that he’s exposed to FeCV?) and how long should we wait?

    i believe the virus is active in the environment for 3-7 weeks.  i’d get him checked out before you bring home another cat, and discuss prevention with your vet.

    How old is the puppy?  You should take him to a vet within 3 days of adopting this pup.  Also, unless he is at least 16 weeks old he still needs vaccines.

  2. wendy mcnabb

    Hes 2 months ……she gave me the vet papers stating he got his shots already….but he looks too thin to be healthy …..i know runts are small but his weight doesnt look right….also a deformed ear….

  3. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Get him to your vet for a health check ASAP!

    you purchased this puppy? i know you have the puppy now and it’s too late for this, but why did you buy a puppy with an obvious deformity?

  5. PK Dennis

    Being a “runt” indicates he is smaller than the other puppies in the litter.  This can mean nothing, or it can mean that he was born with a problem that impacted his ability to take in food and use it properly.  Only a vet can check your pup to make sure he is healthy, and make recommendations about feeding, tests he might need, and shots to prevent diseases that would put his life at risk.

    Don’t take the breeder’s word for this – you will fall in love with the pup and may have very expensive vet bills ahead of you if he was born with major problems.  

    So, off to the vet — you may feel so much better once you know one way or the other.

    His hips could look that way because he’s thin or it could be a real problem. He needs to go to your vet to find out ASAP.

    I don’t mess around with eye issues, I would flush this eye with a plain saline solution (you can buy it in any drug or box store, find it in the eye care section) and it that doesn’t do the trick over night I would make a vet appointment – telling them it is an eye issue so they don’t push you off.

    There are many fish based diets, I like Holistic Anchovy (it’s anchovy, sardines and oatmeal).  I would try that.  If that doesn’t work talk to your vet about hill’s prescription z/d. 

    Good Luck

    …there are too many variables here.  why are your dogs not spayed and neutered?  keeping them together and letting them breed is irresponsible.  there are low cost spay and neuter clinics in every state.  please get her spayed, as well as your other bitch, if you’re not going to neuter the dogs.

    Hello there. I am no expert but i still want to try to help you out. First of all, you didnt mention if it’s her first litter or not. Second, i think that the dog’s health, in some cases, is most valuable for a diagnosis than her age (as a number). I’ve seen 3 y old dogs in a awful shape and i’ve seen 11 y old dogs running after a surgery for pyometra. Crazy. That being said, if she’s fit and fine and healthy i think she is perfectly capable of giving birth at that age. Keep in mind she still needs to go through exams to check if everything is running smoothly. After that, you will need to protect the mother and the puppies and think about getting her spayed if you don’t want this to happen again.

    Hope this helped.

    Good luck!
