My lab is 10 and I’m pretty sure it’s arthritis but I don’t get paid till wed
He is always out by us and like to be around us but is basically mean if you touch him at all. Or sit in his chair that he sleeps on about 50%of the time that he sleeps.
do you play with him? my boy used to attack my ankles, back when i first brought him home. turned out he was bored. got a bunch of interactive toys and started playing with him and he mellowed out nicely.
this is, of course, assuming that he’s clear of any medical issues. he’s been to the vet recently, right? 🙂
How old is he? I would also say that he is bored. Especially male cats play more rough then females. As humans don’t have thick fur to protect them, it hurts us more than other cats, if they play with us like they would with other cats.
I would also say to play alot with him. Best thing would be another cat companion if he lives alone. That way he can really play like cats do with each other.
But first you need to check if he has medical issues. Sometimes pain can cause such an behaviour.,
nsaids are safe and effective pain relief for dogs ? i read that ,please verify ? i would be sick if i caused this sweet,loyal friend more pain.Bay is a black lab.approx 7 yrs old.80ish lbs.
no!!!!!!!!! Do not give your dog any over the counter drugs.speak with a vet and they should be able to recommend some thing for what ails your friend
My dog has recently consumed Waggin Trail Chicken Jerky treats and now she keeps puffing with every shallow breath she takes, trembling, non stop walking around, and looks lethargic, I cannot afford to take her to vet. HELP PLEASE
unfortunately you’re going to need a vet, and fast. consider Care Credit? it works like a credit card and is interest-free for a year.
I agree to Laura. Sounds like she needs a vet. Is her tummy bloated? Does she try to vomit, without it working?
If this is bloat, she will die from it, if you don’t take he to a vet Depending on where you are from, try to find a vet, that makes a payment plan or seomething similar. Or maybe the Care Credit that Laura mentiuoned, but plkease take her to a vet..
the brand mentioned has been fatal for a number of pets in the US. i would be more inclined to say the dog has been poisoned rather than experiencing bloat.
My dog is a 45 lb. German Shepherd mixed with American Terrier 7 year old suffering from something that I don’t know. This started about 4 months ago and has progressed to the point to where he constantly needs a cone on. He cobstantly agressivly licks his underbelly to the point where it has become raw and leathery.at times the area is red and swollen and others its is just leathery looking. Sometimes the area is moist and has a foul odor.recently he has started scratching his nose to the point to where he bleeds and when he is pet he favors those ares.please refer tot the pictures I have included. The vets gave him steroids and antibiotics buy that didn’t seem to help.We have also changed his food as recommended by the vet but nothing changed. the skin scrape of the area also came back negative for bacteria and mites. It sucks that I don’t know what the cause is, please help.
My friend has the same problem have you resolve this problem
Is it in the same area? I haven’t resolved the issue as of now, but I plan to find a better vdt but price is a real concern.live paid almost 300$ and have found out nothing concrete.
Terrier (I think) that I’ve had for 4 years, found her off of the streets, no one claimed her. She has started to act very lazy and lethargic. She won’t eat and she keeps puking. Diarrhea, restless, I can’t afford to go to vet. HELP!!!
I took my cat to a vet because she started vomiting and had diarrhea as well with fever. The vet gave her 3 injection along with a medication I had to give her later that night. However, the next day she still vomited, as well as today but the diarrhea stopped. I really need to know if this is normal since her body is trying to get rid of the virus. And what signs should I look for that can be alarming.
Her heart rate is normal, it’s not beating so fast. When she puked there wasn’t any blood. She has been peeing allot and shes kinda panting but not allot. She’s acting very sleep and it’s freaking me out. It’s been 7 hours and nothing major happened. Oh but a couple of times her backs legs shaked allot. Is she going to be okay?
HE HAS BEEN SPITTING HAIRBALLS, MY MOM DOESN’T KNOW CAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF HE’S OKAY AND WANTED TO ASK HERE 1ST. HE’S BEEN DOIN DAT STUFF 4 LIKE 5 DAYS THO, HELP GUYZZ
hairballs are a natural thing for cats. you can’t really prevent them.
While hairballs are normal having this many isn’t. I would recommend a vet visit to try to find out the cause.
I don’t know how many of you specialize in worms, but my worm has been worming a lot lately. If anyone can help, I feel bad and don’t know WAT 2 doo. That brings me to the point, my dog eats his own poopies.
Anyways, the more important stuff than the poopies, is the balls. My cat Luis has been spitting out his hairballs, I’m trying to feed them back but don’t know if it’s the right thing to doo. Plz help.
