My dog (8,teckel) was stung near mouth2 days ago by a big bug at my mom’s.
The area where the bug stung was develop into “quail egg” size of swelling (elastic) & she has a some minor breathing problem (ronchi) since then. What should i do?
A barn cat had kittens either yesterday or early this morning. When we found them, most were nursing, but them are stuck together by their umbilical cords. What should we do?
Help me PLS! I have a litre of 8 pups that r 4weeks old today. The runt has all of. A sudden gotten a leg lump on right side of his neck below his ear, he is unresponsive, won’t take bottle or. Eye dropper and I think he is going to die!
Any time he moves his head he yelps loud and I feel HORRIBLE for poor lil guy! I got him wrapped up and holding him trying to get some baby formula into him but not having much luck! Could b a bee sting since I had them out in backyard for first time today but I was with them the hole time, for like a half hr, or maybe momma stepped on his neck accidentally!?!? I dunno but I feel helpless an he’s in pain, almost like party listed!!
he needs an emergency vet.
i took him to the vet and she said he had strangles, drained the large lump on his neck below his ear and gave us medicine, but now the lump is TWICE the size, he is having trouble breathing, keeps sneezing, coughing, weak, im so scared he cant breath and he is gonnadie, he’s only 4 weeks old. of course its sunday nite and there is no vet open…..
She has not been able to jump on the couch for a few days now. She has always slept in bed with me or my younger sisters but now she won’t even get down to pee. (she went in the bed for the 1st time since she was a puppy that was too small to get down.) My dogs are very close to me, and they are my closest friends. I am scared that she is developing arthritis and that I will not be able to afford much help for her if that is the case. I can give her away to someone that can afford frequent visits to the vet even though it would break my heart to pieces.. if I give her away, I would almost have to find a home that would take her daughter too. They could not live apart, it would only make them miserable. I don’t want to give them up at all. The only reason I’d consider it, is because I love her so much that I would rather her live a longer life without me than a shorter life with me. She does not deserve to suffer just because I am too selfish to give her away bc it would hurt me so bad. I love her so much that I would let her (and her daughter) go in order for her to receive the proper care if she is developing arthritis. I am just afraid that she would never be happy without me and my family. I would die inside, but I want her to be okay.
Thank you, I usually do overreact to anything to do with their health. Her baby is hypoglycemic and the vet I took her to was so uneducated that I knew more than he did about he condition, unfortunately. I know I can pay for one visit at least, but if it is serious im scared it may get too costly. I go crazy when there is something wrong. I’ve never given a thought to giving them away before.
My dog went to sleep last night perfectly fine and when she woke up this morning she has lost completely mobility from her hind legs back (drags herself with her from legs and doesnt wag her tail) What should I do??
I just wanted to update for anyone who might be in the same situation. My chihuahua is a very healthy dog and it turns out she ruptured a disk in her lower back. The vet is keeping her overnight and is going to give her some high doses of anti inflammatories and the vet says she should be walking again in a week! I came here first because I really don’t have the money to make a bill but it turns out that this whole visit cost less then 100$ and the vet is gonna allow me to make payment!
I’m just happy my babygirl is going to be okay.
He is 8 weeks old, weighs just over 200g (his litter mates are all at least 600g) has a very soft and enlarged skull with pupils that face east west. There are no good vets here, certainly no vet specialists. Should I wait until he has gained weight before trying to medicate him (All the drugs can be purchased over the counter here and I am medically qualified) or should I start ASAP to help minimise brain damage? He is already blind. Or is the likely outcome so poor that I should be thinking about euthanasia? He seems happy enough at this point in time but cries a lot in the night and I don’t want him to be in pain.
10 years old cat was in heat then suddenly the next day she acts like she wants to vomit but cant and around her vaginia dark mucus.
If touch her above her tail she acts like she wants to vomit.
Our 12 week pup recently got a crate. She’s been doing great for toilet training but urinated in it today. It wasn’t much but the crate door was open and she was playing with her toys and chose to use the crate. Any advice?
assuming she’s clear of a UTI, at this point in time, you need to make sure she goes out every half hour.
yes, half hour. without fail. until she starts holding her urine for an hour, then you can back it up to every hour.
She’s urinating as usual but she is going to the vet’s in a few hours so I can ask about a UTI.
Could it be excitement from play time?

it’s very possible she’s overly excited, but i think it’s always best to rule out a UTI in cases of incontinence in bitch puppies. they seem to be prone to them when young. in fact, the only time mine urinated in her crate, she had a UTI.
good luck. 🙂
Thanks Laura, I will make sure she get’s checked 🙂
Why does my dads cat hide in a corner and act all nervous almost? His nose to the floor and just laid there looking at me like something was wrong.
As far as I know. I don’t see the cat everyday. I don’t live with my dad. He was doing it when I was babysitting his girlfriends two boys.
Ok. Thanks. I know Mika has a collapsed lung and rib cage on one side. He’s had that since birth. And he’s a Bengal cat I believe
I know my cat acts somewhat like that when she is nervous. Mainly when there are kids around her or big crowds. She runs under the bed and just stares at stuff. How old are the boys and have they ever been rough with the cat? That could be a cause as well but defiantly go to the vet if this is a new behavior because like Krista said something could be wrong.
I have a 4 yr old female yorkshire terrier. Eaten June bugs. Resulted in diarrhea on an off for over a week. licking her butt and wanting to sit in the cool grass. I looked and it’s raw. Can i use silverdene?

i’d pack the whole lot up and rush them to the vet ASAP…momma and every kitten should go.
