VitaHound is continually evaluating and searching for highly dependable dog care resources. Over the past 20 years we have assembled a directory of the top organizations to reference for canine care issues by category. We are currently evaluating our selection of Pet Poison help lines and or Websites. Our current recommendation is http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/, our staff would truly appreciate the opinion of pet owners on this source and suggestions on other sources. This site currently is for profit and a current survey of pet owners indicates the fees involved in any pet care service creates a real barrier to access.

First I Would Like To Mention That We Took Our Dog To See The Vet…
Hi!
First I would like to mention that we took our dog to see the vet here but he didn’t know what to do to help.
We have have a Daschund. She is quite old – 11 years. And recently was diagnosed with diabetis. She has been shivering and weak since yesterday. What could be the problem?

Matthew Kelcourse Hello Annija.
Shivering and weakness can be common symptoms of unregulated diabetes and so many other conditions. Because unregulated diabetes can become life-threatening if left unmanaged, you need to seek proper medical care for her; either at your regular veterinarian or request a referral to a specialist.
With the proper care, 11 year olds can lead many more years of a good life.

Lindsey Knouse If you actually saw him eat the object and you believe it can pass http://www.snowdog.guru/what-to-do-if-your-husky-swallows-a-foreign-object/I strongly recommend getting in contact with a vet, especially if it was large or there could have been more he ate. Call an emergency hospital near you. It is much easier to remove objects, if that’s what needs to be done, without a full GI system from these “bulking” diets. So there are risks to them you need to understand. Feeding soft bread and wet dog food can help in some circumstances.

julie brader Hi Anissa, I can’t help but be concerned about how sharp the peices of wood will be. If one or more hit your dogs intestines at the wrong angle they could perforate easily.
Perhaps you should consult a Vet about this and see what he says. I’m not convinced feeding bread will be enough to protect his stomach.
Hope hes ok.

My Cat Has A Wound On His Tail. We Don’t Know Where The Wound Came…
My cat has a wound on his tail. We don’t know where the wound came from, but it looks like a scratch, it’s not very big, and we suspect it came from a mean neighborhood cat.
However, it has a weird strand of something coming out of it that has me worried. It’s thin, about 2.5 inches / 6 cm long, roughly tan colored except in a few places where it’s dark and more red, and about halfway down its length it becomes very thin, kind of like a hair. It does seem to be affixed to his tail, though I’m not sure if it’s actually coming out of the wound.
Here’s an album with a few pictures of it: http://imgur.com/a/bTck4
Touching it is obviously uncomfortable for my cat. Occasionally he’ll lick it, and I’ve seen him chewing at it a few times as though he’s trying to get rid of it. Other than that, I see no change in his behavior. His tail still has its full range of movement.
What is this thing? Is it serious enough that we should take him to a vet?

Brian Kendall Just took him to the vet, and they found that the scratch on his tail was bigger than we thought and the thing sticking out was nerve tissue!
Fortunately they bandaged him up, gave him an antibiotic, and he’s going to be okay.

Dawn Ferara, DVM I would not use dog shampoo because depending on the active ingredient it could be toxic to the cats body. Instead of taking chances I would just not use it unless it’s labeled for cats.
Actually, your vet is going to have the best options for treating cats with fleas. Make sure what ever product you use you need to treat the house and yard.Good luckDr Dawn -

julie brader Hi Ashley, your dog got into the biscuits did he!
Depending on how many hes eaten look out for him throwing up, loose runny stools and obvious stomach bloating and pain.
If he gets these 3 symptoms you need to take him to a Vet. Hopefully he will be alright but go easy on feeding him especially today and tomorrow. It takes up to 48 hours for food to go through a dogs system and it would be wise to let all these biscuits pass through before you give him more food on top.
Hope hes ok!

Ashley Steinhagen Luckly my dogs were okay. I have 3 dogs at my house all littermates… Thanks for the reply.
We didn’t give any dental bones for a week after that.

Ashley Steinhagen Nothing happen and they still acted like themselves
Frontline is not an immediate kill type of product. Is there any flea dirt (small black pieces of flea feces) on your dog? It is possible she picked up a couple of fleas when she went out to urinate/defecate. Also, the makers of Frontline suggest treating the animals (all animals in the house) for 3 consecutive months in order to eliminate a flea problem.
If you notice flea dirt on her then I would suggest contacting your vet about a product like trifexis, comfortis or nexgard.
Yes she does have the little black flakes! Can I give her another flea bath? I bought some spray to put on the furniture and floors again and will be doing that again.
Also – Frontline is now an OTC flea preventative that fleas are developing resistance to; so I am seeing a lot of patients with fleas and flea dirt that are using Frontline… just not very effective.
