Surely you must have a veterinary ER or 24-hour hospital or an on-call vet somewhere? These are SERIOUS symptoms.

julie brader Hello Alexander, please take her to a Vet urgently. From what you are saying she is not well at all…..and could possibly have a serious infection in her uterus called Pyometra or a urinary tract infection. . Its obviously not normal for her to lose fluid like that….and it doesn’t sound like urine. Added to the other symptoms you describe its time for a Vet. Please don’t leave it any longer, if she does have Pyometra its very serious indeed.
I Took My Dog In On Tuesday To Have Her Teeth Cleaned And 2 Extractions…
I took my dog in on tuesday to have her teeth cleaned and 2 extractions. She pooped before the surgery and after the surgery. She pooped Wednesday morning and was still kind of out of it. She didn’t poop at all on Thursday but was in a much better mood and acting more herself. It is now Friday morning and still no poop. Since she had extractions the vet told me to only feed her soft food. She was eating wellness core reduced fat formula before surgery but for the wet food I got her blue buffalo. She has a good appetite. Wednesday it was hard to get her to drink water but Thursday she drank more. She didn’t pee as much Wednesday but on Thursday she went more like usual. The vet prescribed her rimadyl, tramadol, and cephalexin for an antibiotic. She hasn’t tried to poop and doesn’t strain to poop and her last poop was perfectly normal. When should I worry about it?

Rebecca Beck Thank you, I called the vet and the one who performed her dental is out of the office. They just told me to keep an eye on her over the weekend and to call back Monday if she hasn’t pooped yet. I should also mention that my dog is an ivdd dachshund and she has nerve damage in her lumbar spine. She can still move and feel her legs but not enough to walk on her own. Could this nerve damage accompanied with the anesthesia she was under cause her digestion to be slowed?

Diedra Cardamone Hello Ash,
A rabbits diet should generally consist of 90% hay, and 10% pellets. Veggies are given as treats. The primary hay used in my experience is Timothy but you can also try Oat Hay, Meadow Grass or Orchard Grass (any grass hay). In the US a well known brand it “Oxbow”. If you do not have access to different types of hay maybe you can order online. I hope your rabbit starts to eat more soon!

My Parents Have An 8 Month Old Chihuahua That Has Always Been Very Energetic, Playful…
My parents have an 8 month old chihuahua that has always been very energetic, playful and loving. All of a sudden she became extremely lethargic, seems unbalanced, dry nose and she is constantly licking her chops and from time to time opens her jaw wide and paws at the inside of her mouth. It’s been a couple weeks now and she is not back to normal. She’s been to the vet twice and they can’t find anything. Could it be neurological or possibly something in her mouth they can’t find?

Kate McKelvie Did they check bloodwork, or consider sedation in order to explore the back of her mouth, soft pallet? I would consider a second opinion, if not…

Whitney Grim Blood work and xrays came back normal and they did sedate her and check her mouth. The only other option is to find specialists and my parents just can’t afford it right now. Not sure what to do from here.

julie brader Chelsea you need to take her to a Vet to find whats causing this. Your dog is in great pain to the point of causing swelling when she tries to defecate. Please don’t leave her like this any longer, she needs help.

Chelsea Sweeney Yes, I know this already. I have an appointment this week but in the meantime trying to find something that might give her relief as I am very aware that this is painful for her.

Hello Anna, if you are finding worms at this late stage in her pregnancy you need to contact a Vet to find out if she can be wormed now and which wormer is safe.
You will have a lot of problems with worms in the puppies if you don’t keep up with the worming when they are born if your bitch has them this badly. Not only are they passed through the placenta but also mum’s milk.
The puppies will need worming at 2 weeks; 5 weeks; 8 weeks and every 3 weeks after that. Ask your Vet which wormer to use for them when you talk to him about your bitch.
Please consider having your bitch spayed once the puppies are old enough, its much safer for her and stops unplanned litters.
Hope she is ok and the pups are delivered safely. Good luck!
Thx so much, I JUST noticed them last night, so my plans were to call the vet 1st thing and ask. I couldn’t sleep so I searched and read about the worms and pregnant dogs and then I found this site. I haven’t been able to sleep, waiting on the vet to open.
aawww bless you! They are a worry aren’t they! Don’t know if you knew but bitches all have worms laying dormant….pregnancy brings them to life unfortunately. Don’t worry I’m sure your Vet will give you good advice.
