Witnessed a lady throwing it out of her car. Couldn’t leave it there, so we took him to the vet because his eyes had severe discharge. Vet said he is around 6 weeks old.
I try to feel around her stomach and paws but when I do, she doesn’t cry which makes me think she’s not in pain. But whenever she tries to stand, she’s clearly in pain.
Hello,
It’s hard to say what could be going on…Is your dog spayed? Has she eaten anything abnormal? Is she eating/ drinking/peeing/pooping….
It sounds like a vet trip is in need, crying and acting painful is a cause for concern that you should get her seen by a vet.
Good luck!

Something is wrong with my cat. He is moving around slow and making deep moans when he moves. He did make a hard stool but not eating. He seems to be in pain from something
you can try tuna packed in water to get him to eat. but you need to see a vet asap.
Planning on the vet trip today. The loud moaning when he moves is whats got me concerned. I will definitely try the tuna packs. Thank u
It sounds like your cat might have something broke. I’m glad you have a vet appointment. I hope your cat will be ok.
Thank u Robin. Well the vet said he has a hairball that he is having a hard time getting up so he recieved some meds to help with it. Hopefully hel b back to normal soon. Thanks for the advice ?
What’s the best way to do a adding a new dog introduction
More information?
What dog do you have now, breed and male or female? and what dog are you introducing …again breed..male or female?
also what ages are both dogs?
I have a 6 year Pitt bull female and add a 2 year Pitt bull female
Since you have multiple dogs it may be easier, because they are used to other dogs. Do it in a fenced area, I would say outside, with plenty of room. Is the new dog a puppy? That will really change things. Most adult dogs realize a puppy is a puppy and not a threat to the pack dominance order, but that it will grow up in the pack and will fall into the pack order naturally. A full grown dog is a different story. Which ever of your dogs is the dominant one will feel a threat, so you need to let them be introduced I think one at a time, with the dominant one going first. Let them smell each others butts, its what they do. I would have the new dog on a leash, and if your current dog is trust worthy and listens very well, let that dog be off leash, only in an enclosed area. Do not do it in a crowded space, as they will feel confined and that will not help.
I am by far not an expert, but I have had at least three dogs for a long time, and have introduced someone to our pack on several occasions.
It really depends on how well trained your current dogs are as well.
Good luck!
I think Eddie has a 6 year old female and wants to add a 2 year old female? You may have problems with 2 Pitbull bitches….I would imagine they can be same breed agressive. You would need to introduce them on neutral ground and let them get to know each other first. Make sure they each have their own space at home if they need it….separate feeding bowls, beds ect. Plus I would make sure you can put them in different rooms if necessary. It depends on the temperament of both the dogs aa to how they will get along. Good luck.
I have seen them in her poop. They are little white kinda look like baby earth worms
my puppy is not eating.. hes poop smells like fish and bloody pls help me
Get him to the vet asap blood in the poop is usually a sign of parvo
The skin on her muzzle under the fur seems pinker than normal, too. Also, her nose seems to itch (she rubs her nose area vigorously against my fingers, not just normal face rubbing) and gets a little dark crust around the edges. I noticed her nose running with a little clear discharge while I was petting her, but I read that it’s common for a cat’s nose to run when it purrs, so I didn’t think that was part of this. Her ears itch, as well. They don’t have an odor and I don’t see anything in them. Sometimes the fur on her chin will be discolored with a reddish/orangish tint and I noticed an area of dried liquid with a light tinge of brown around the border where she’d been sleeping this morning. Is this an allergy? I have more pictures I can post that show the crustiness on her nose and her upper lip from below.
Hello,
I’m not sure if it’s the angle of the photo or not, but your kitty looks like it’s upper mouth and general face area is swollen and really distorted and does not look typical.
The brown/reddish color you describe reminds me of exactly how dried flea dirt (blood) looks. So make sure that you examine her carefully with a flea comb to see if that is an issue for her.
If she was an outside “feral” cat, be sure to get her tested for Felv/Fiv as well as a vet checkup to rule out upper respiratory infections, a rabies vaccine and distemper vaccine and spay would be good too–if you haven’t already done that. I’d take a trip to the vet to have her mouth/face examined.
Good luck!

Thank you, Kelly! It’s the angle of the picture. I had a normal looking one to post, but this one shows her mouth better. She does have fleas. I gave her an Rx oral med from the vet a month ago and it didn’t work. So I gave her a combo of Capstar and Program last night and have a spray to spray what I can’t wash to get any remaining eggs & larva. Maybe she has a flea allergy and this will be what she needs.
I’ve done TNR with 8 feral cats over the past year. She was about 5 months old when I took her, but has been very much untamed and fearful of the sight of me until about 3 months ago when I discovered the power of fish. In that time she has begun sleeping and spending much of her days in the house (I put in a cat door and she still insists on using the big “litter box” outside instead of the one I got her. Just this week she started climbing up on me when I’m lying down and using me for her bed. =) I can pet her just about any way I want to without getting injured now, but I can’t pick her up or do anything that seems threatening to her without her running and hiding (i.e. walking fast, carrying the mail, any attempt to use anything on her except my hand). So catching her to take to the vet has had me in a quandary. The humane trap is too traumatic for her AND me. I stopped by the vet’s office today and they said they could give me a sedative to give her so she would be sleeping and I could bring her in. She had a rabies shot when she was spayed, but she’ll need another one in November. And she hasn’t been tested for FeLV/Fiv.
That’s TMI, I know. I tend to get wordy, but thank you so much for your response! I will definitely take your advice now that I know there’s a way to get her to the vet without trauma, and hopefully we’ll get this taken care of quickly.
My 4 year old male Bug named Max has bubble like sores on the tip of his penis. Not on the outer skin, but on his actual penis. I will post pictures when able.
I can try to get better pictures if need be
Wow, that looks painful! Don’t know what it is, but eager to see what Dr. Krista has to say!
I will get him to the vet ASAP! Thank you.
What antibiotic is best for treating chlamydia in guinea pigs
Has your Guniea Pig been diagnosed with Chlamydia? If not then this needs diagnosis by a Vet and he will advise you on the antibiotics needed. We cannot tell you on here what medication to use, you need to Consult a Vet. Please don’t administer human medication as this can be very toxic to animals.
Last week he cried and it was bleeding underneath his nail on his back paw. We stopped the bleeding and he seemed to be ok besides favoring it a little and licking. We eased up on his physical activity for a few days and he seemed to go back to normal. Yesterday morning he started bleeding a little and won’t let me get close look at the paw and licks it more. He still loves to play and eats normally. Is it something that will heal on its own or should I take him in to see our vet?
that looks infected, he probably broke a nail under the skin and it has gotten infected. I would take him to the vet. You could soak his paw in warm water and epsom salts and it may help the pain some
Thanks so much! I’m waiting until my vet office opens to call.
That was so nice of you to take the poor little kitten in, the kitten should stay with the mother at lease till the babies are 8 weeks old. You should only put the drops in every 6 hours. Good luck and enjoy your new baby.
