my 100 lb female pit bull has hive like bumps all over no clue whats going on benedryl not working
Hello. I recently got a dog by a woman who said she could no longer take care of her. The lady said that she also thinks the dog is pregnant. About 3 weeks later her abdomen had grown and her nipplez were easily seen under her fur. I really thought she was pregnant but yesterday I noticed she was licking herself and she was bleeding. Later a male dog came to her. Nothing happened though. Was this her gaining weight because of regular meals and she’s in heat or is there some pregnancy complications

10 week old treeing Walker got stepped on by larger dog and barely puts her toes on ground but she can hold up her leg can’t get to vet for few days what’s the best pain management until I can see what’s wrong
For how long shall I isolate my parvo puppy from her younger mate? She has her own room with a balcony upstairs, while the other pup lives downstairs. She’s sick from last Monday and I’m planning to isolate them for at least 1,5 week more.

Anna K So 2 more weeks. I don’t know if I’m doing things right, but always after leaving my isolated pup I change clothes and take shower (and force others to do so) so as to keep the little one safe. Is there something I can do more? I’m planning to bleach the upstairs tomorrow (last time I bleached the floors in the entire house was Friday).

Anna K Unfortunately not yet! Our Golden began 7th week yesterday and lab 9th (they were rescued), but vet told me last week that for vaccination both of them should be healthy. Therefore, I’m going to contact the clinic about this matter in the morning. What bugs me is Golden’s negative test result, which I hope was false negative as he developed all of the symptoms (yellow diharrea -> green -> Yellow + fresh blood and mucus -> dark brown. Now the stool is brown, some parts are darker, but the consistency is more solid / vomitting at the beginning, lethargy, refusing to eat and drink – he began to eat by himself on 4th or 5th day). Still I believe that physically our Golden was in a much better condition because I fed him with a syringe every 1 – 2 hours (even at night), while our lab didn’t eat at all while in hospital. And wasn’t force-fed either.
Still, I will wait next 2 weeks to be absolutely sure.
We adopted 9 mo. old DSH who is now 1 1/2 yrs, Shady was a stray dont know his history. Out of nowhere, his pupils dilate, attacks & bites so hard he draws blood. Jekyll & Hyde. Rough play or aggression? Love him tho. Help pls???

Anonymous sounds like typical young cat behavior. i’d get him in for a general checkup to be sure, though.

Beth James Of course, the vet says he is healthy. It is a psychological or behavioral issue. Wish I knew what happened to him as a baby. Just would like to stop the biting. We had our last cat for 17 years so cat care isn’t new to us… How can we stop the biting?
-
Beth James He has all his shots and we had him micro chipped in case he ever gets out.
These attacks come out of nowhere! I hate to admit it but he can be scary. He attacks our legs and arms. We haven’t had him very long, but we love him and are keeping him (so cute). He can be very loving, lying down for hours, purring and we pet him. And he has a favorite toy, a cat that plays fetch!
His demeanor changes in a split second, out of nowhere….is he just too happy?? -
Beth James Thank you Dr. Magnifico, but that video isn’t 100% our Shady. Sometimes, he will just attack from another room for no reason.,… Not just when we pet him. It is very strange and I try not to compare him to our previous pet, I know they all have different personalities…..but the biting!!!! I wonder if it was from a prior trauma, he was homeless and underweight when he chose us at the adoption center??
-
Beth James He was given a certified clean bill of health from the adoption center and again in April for his wellness visit from my vet. The biting has been since day 1. I think it has been decreasing in frequency. At first he was very skittish and afraid of noises, like thunder, but has calmed down tremendously, truthfully over the past few months. I will check out J Galaxy….thank you very much. Thank you too for having this site.
Is peroxide safe to use to clean an area on my black labs tail? We were at your office last nite to have Lilly’s anal glands released and a pedicure. i would have asked last nite but it just started today.
Our8week lab developed parvo. Still, our5week golden had the same symptoms(vomitting,bloody dihharea,lethargy), but his parvo test was negative (4 day), while our labs (2day)was positive. Is there a possibility it was a false negative test?

Anna K Thanks Krista,
Our Golden seems just fine right now. It’s his 10th day of parvo, but he’s eating like a crazy, plays, walks around. Our lab feels horrible despite hospitalization. It’s his 5 / 6th day of parvo, but she began to vomit again after meals. He was in hospital from Monday to Friday. Now she’s at home, but they’re separated.
Our lab takes oral fluids right now and is on amoxy, curcumine and metronidazole.
My dobe bitch spent last week at my MIL’s home, and throughout that week my MIL fed her Beneful rather than the food we asked her to feed. This…is a problem, and one we will be discussing with her at another time.
However. As a result of this lovely, boundary-free vacation eating nothing but the equivalent of Big Macs for a week, she will not go back to her regular food unless we add enticements. I need her eating what i give her, when i give it to her, without exceptions. Normally this isn’t a problem – she’s trying to get us to give her that lovely, delicious junk food. She is healthy, so this isn’t a health-related problem. She’s just being a stubborn brat. 🙂
My question is this: what is the quickest way to get her back on her normal food? My husband is less than cooperative with my eat-it-or-lose-it method of training, wondering if anyone can suggest anything else. For the moment she is absolutely refusing plain kibble. The most I will do for her is add warm water, which I do for dinners anyway. She won’t touch breakfast at all.
Any suggestions? 🙂
Thanks, he is booked to go to the vets, just thought id see if anyone had any ideas what it is..
