My 7 year old cat has the following symptoms: weight loss, brown eye discharge, and is lethargic. He still has a good appetite and can be coaxed to play.
My dog has really dry itchy skin, i wanted to start giving him human grade fish oil capsules to see if it would help. What would the correct dosage be ? He is 83 pounds and currently on a raw diet (Mountain Dog Food)
Hi Ashley,
Well, first you need to figure out why your dog has itchy and dry skin. It may be allergies to foods or the surroundings or fleas…Best to get to your vet to have them diagnose what is wrong first. Then, you can treat the root cause of the itchy skin. No sense in spending time and money one what you think may be helpful.

How hard is to crate train a 2 year pit bull she is a rescue not sure if she ever been crate trained before I had for 3 weeks now

hi my siam. cat has a red spot in the bend of her paw she just got off predazone seem not to help so i put cone her she acts like is the thing ever will help or should take off and let healon it on
HI Vicky,
Did your vet tell you to leave the cone on ? If so and if she’s bothering her paw, then you need to leave the cone on ,,,take it off for a bit if you can watch her so she doesn’t bother her paw….but put it back on.
Call your vet if you think the medication is not helping , or if things are getting worse.
Good luck!

she said we could try it
my siamesse cat is showing some pink skin under her front paws near the body i put a cone on her head is that going help her she seems like is the worst thing ever
Hi Vicky,
No animal likes the cone, but it is something that they will adjust to. If your pet needs to wear one, keep it on her. Get to your vet to get the paw checked out, she could need pain meds or other medications to help.

my cat is having trouble pooing and we found blood what can I do to help him we don’t have a vet at moment as we have moved house
Hello Yasmin…..you need to register with a Vet and take your cat without delay.
Blood in stools is never normal, nor is straining to go. Your cat could have any number of things going on, blockage of the bowel…infection…and this needs treatment.
I hope he recovers soon.
thanks

i don’t know much about agamid lizard species, but if she has a “strange dark spot” i’d be worried about infection or bruising. please get her to a vet as soon as one opens in the morning.
Hi Breonna,
How old are they and for how long have they been coughing and sneezing?. I am not able to help much with your problem but this additional information may help the person that is knowledgeable enough to answer. I hope they are better soon!

To be honest to be on the safe side, I would separate their cages until.the male has the stitches out and is fully recovered. Then might get a bit rough when they first meet and you don’t want any stitches burst.
Good luck!
