I’ve changed his food I was doing blue buffalo and now it’s orijen puppy food but I’ve noticed his stools getting darker and darker and today his stool black black like tar looking and watery/mushy and im not sure if I should just wait a few days and let it pass by ? I have done metromidozole and clava

for 2-3 weeks. My kittens have eye discharge on can hardly open his eyes, obvious difficulty breathing, sneezing, decreased in appetite, though they still eat… Sometimes I worry because there breathing get’s so shallow, or when my boy is laying in me it’s like breath is being punched out of him every time he breaths, they both sneese, but the girl is worse than the boy with that, and they sleepn so much. They’ve gotten out more than a few times, but they are indoor cats. I’m trying lycine until I can take them to the vet, but they don’t like it so it’s hard to get them to take it, and I’m keeping food and fresh water. I just so worried. I think maybe, it could be a uri, and maybe some autoimmune disorder because they were born from a feral colony and a lot of them have something going on, but what do I do and how can I help them, until I can get them to the vet. I’m so worried.

Our year old golden retriever ate some chicken yesterday which I had cooked and stuffed the cavity with garlic. He didn’t actually eat any garlic but is quite lethargic today and has slept a lot. Should I take him to the vets
My female DSH is ~2yrs & suffers from allergies. She constantly has lesions on her stomach. She licks and chews effected skin often. Atopica doesn’t work. for her. I’m hesitant to use steroids for a long period of time. Suggestions?

Anonymous this might sound weird, but have you had her thyroid checked? a friend of mine had a young cat with excessive grooming habits and it turned out to be thyroid problems.

PK Dennis Have you gotten all grains out of his/her diet? No grains in food or treats. Find a grain-free kibble that lists real meat as the first 2 or 3 ingredients. Real meat will be: beef, lamb, elk, salmon meal, etc. Do not buy anything that lists “by-products” in the ingredients – they could be nothing more than feathers.
To help the skin heal you can rinse her once per day (short haired dogs, less often for long-haired dogs, you don’t want her constantly moist) with a mix of 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water. Allow this to dry on her skin.
Also if you have been using Benadryl try switching to a generic Zyrtec – it often works better for dogs.
For the active hot spots try Witch hazel with Aloe, you can find it in any drug store OTC, pat it on with a cotton pad and allow to dry – you can do this several times per day to help reduce itch and help the spot heal.
Good luck!
What should I feed a 1 month old Chihuahua pup?

julie brader Hi Yazmin, have you bred this puppy? One month old is far far too young to leave their mum.
As for feeding……try a puppy milk formula. Do not give cows milk, puppies and dogs cannot digest it.
You could also give some runny baby rice mixed with the puppy milk. At one month old the pup should be able to lap. Once a day you could give a tiny ball of minced steak…and I mean tiny, about the size of a peanut to start with.
Good luck and I hope the puppy thrives.

I have 2 siamese cats, they both accidently ate raw rancid beef on Fri morning. Since then haven’t eaten, not seen them drinking, looking and feeling sorry for themselves, vomiting and runs, will sit on my knee and quietly purr when petted.
His name is Gizmo and we believe he may have gotten a bone fragment from the dairy next door and swallowed it before we took it.
I have this puppy Pom. She had a mange with mites condition going on i now have her on treatment some type of shot set of 3 really. She has had the first one and i have done one borax hydrogen peroxide water dip. Wondering when it would be safe to let her back in the livingrooms and carpets with us??

Cybthia Alvarez Thanks anyway. Zoe is happy now.
My female GSD just can seem to keep any weight on. She is not very active, she sleeps a lot, and is generally quite lazy. She eats the same amount of food as my male GSD, and probably more than him. She drinks water regularly.

Anonymous has she been checked for parasites or thyroid problems? those are my first two thoughts.
-
Casey Wilson I’ve suspected that, but haven’t gotten her checked. I hoping it isn’t that bad

Anonymous honestly…thyroid problems are easily managed with drug therapy. i would get her checked sooner than later.
i’m not sure what those symptoms are, but i would be calling a vet about this as soon as they open, if not sooner.
