My Dog Snoopy Has Recently Had A Hacking Cough Which I Believe Is Kennel Cough…

my dog snoopy has recently had a hacking cough which i believe is kennel cough. I looked up dogs with kennel cough and he is making that exact same noise. My parents can not afford a vet so, i cant take him. He is also now vomiting little portions of white stuff, and he bites his paws a lot, no particular one but both vigorously. Can someone please help im scared he might die he is kinda acting tired,and staying under my bed all day, he used to be really energetic jumping everywhere

My 1year Old Cat Isn’t Acting Right. He Is Not Eating. But Is Drinking Water…

My 1year old cat isn’t acting right. He is not eating. But is drinking water. Now he is normally real food aggressive but last two days and now into today he hasn’t really eatin. I took to vet and they gave him an anti-inflammatory as well as some ad hills can food to maybe draw him in. He ate just a little last night off my fingers but not interested really. And just laying around. No energy, kinda dazed look. But when at the vet was more interactive but as soon as we got home nothing changed… i have 3 other cats that are healthy and fine. Please help with some insight.

    We have all our cats on Revaluation for Parasites. Up to date on all shots too. Our normal vet is closed today and yesterday so when we took him in it was an “emergency” visit at a new vet. They said he wasn’t dehydrated, temperature wasn’t elevated and that he looked fine. But i know he isn’t. They gave him the anti-inflammatory to maybe help relieve gastric pain or discomfort. Then that ad food. I would really like to wait until he can go to our vet Monday because they know him and the emergency vet is super expensive and I’m on a tight budget. But I’m not sure if that is wrong…

    He is drinking water no problem. Thats whats throwing me so off. Im just keep offering him that wet food when he starts licking himself and it kind of tricks him into licking some up. I think we are going to ride it out for now, but if he starts drinking less and what not I will definitely be taking him back. Thank you so much for your insight. Blood work tomorrow for sure. Oh, one more symptom is hes not pooping but is peeing. And hes know to chew on things like shirts and towels and boxes. Im just so baffled by it all and want my babie back to normal

    Took him in to my vet that Monday and he was very disturbed with the size of the steroid/anti-inflammatory other vet gave him. And the lack of antibiotic. Said he had a virus or cold and should had been given that first not the other shot, which is why his behavior didn’t change. He received some fluids and antibiotics and three days later doing great. Thank you for the insight. It was very comforting at the time.

My Dog Was Diagnosed With MMM Yesterday Based On An Expensive Blood Test. She’s…

My dog was diagnosed with MMM yesterday based on an expensive blood test. She’s a 10 month old Min Pin and there is some noticeable muscle atrophy around her head. Will the muscle tone ever return?

    I knew a person in passing whose Doberman Pinscher was diagnosed with it and I believe he has regained his lost muscle tone.  I’ll see if I can get in touch with the owner for you for more details.

    Hello Dr. Thanks for the input! I have one more question. The initial symptom was inability to completely open her mouth in early Dec. We took her to Banfield Pet Hospital and she was put on Prednisone for two weeks. She got better and stopped the medication. Last week the symptom returned and we took her back to Banfield again. This time a blood test was done and Prednisone resumed. Last night we were informed the test was positive for MMM. The first time her symptoms got better there was no atrophy. Now, the symptoms are resolving again but there is noticeable atrophy. With this information, do you still think the atrophy may get better?

    Also, she has had the Lepto vaccine. I read last night online that this vaccine, unbeknownst to us, sometimes causes autoimmune diseases. Do you think this vaccine led to MMM?

  5. Eric Cook

    Sure, I will have to get the test details from the clinic. However, it was a blood test that cost us $275 and we were told it was specifically testing for MMM. The results took one week to come back. More info and pics to follow in a couple days.

Can An Indoor Only Cat Catch A Cold If He Hasn’t Been Around Other Cats…

Can an indoor only cat catch a cold if he hasn’t been around other cats? We have 4 cats and we did move about a month ago. One of the cats has been sneezing, coughing, lethargic, and has a fever. How could he have caught a virus if he was in his carrier the whole trip, has never been outside, and only has been around my other three cats his whole life? (he’s about a year and a half old). At what point should I bring him to the vet? He ate some wet food tonight and is still happy to get snuggles, but he’s not himself. Will it just clear up on its own? Thank you!
