you need to get her in to a vet.
5 weeks ago my cat was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis with pli levels of 28.5. She’s been on prednisolone since then but her current levels are over 50. Is this drug causing the levels to be so high?
My dog seems to droolong more than usual from the left side of his mouth. He seems ok otherwise, but he is definitely leaving a trail of drool wherever he goes.

When he is having these episodes he will walk clockwise BUT he will still try walk to him food/bed etc. And if we give him back rubs he will still wag his tail like usual. I noticed he had one tonight and he eventually found his bed (while walking in circles) and went to sleep…when he woke up he was fine again, walking straight. We took him to the vets a few weeks ago after he had his FIRST episode and they told us it was like dog dementia. Is there a treatment or something that will help him? Anything we can do!
This is probably not part of the issue, but she has a lot of scabs on her head, neck, and side. She would go outside around every other day and we don’t know where she goes or what she does so we don’t know if she is just getting into something. Thank you in advance!

The cat had been showing up nearly daily. About mid-February I had to travel out of state. I made arrangements for someone to put out food for it. They never actually saw the cat and upon my return, I haven’t seen it since. The time we were away was the week when it stayed in single digit temperatures throughout the night. I had fixed up a box with a bedding and a light for warmth but it appeared to have been unused. Any advice? I’m really upset with myself that I didn’t do more to protect it from the environment.

PK Dennis Sorry to hear of your concerns for this stray. Often cats will move away if there is a shift in patterns. So, this kitty may be a few streets over, being fed by a different person. Or it may not have been stray at all, it might belong to a neighbor that finally decided to get serious about being a responsible cat owner and has made this kitty an indoor-cat.
There is also the possibility that it got eaten by a coyote or Great Horned Owl. Coyotes take a lot of cats in the fall and during cold snaps in the winter. Great Horned Owls are starting families in Feb and so take larger prey as they prepare to nest. This would have happened even if you had been home during that time.
I think you did the best you could. Cats are independent thinkers and just don’t always fall in line with our expectations.

My sister moved in 3 years ago with her dog and then left for 1 1/2 years. I’m getting her dog back and I was wondering if my dogs will remember her.

caroline challita Hi Cheryl, as Jana said they do remember alot! My dads dogs do recognize every singal person and even other pets years later. Also as Jana said keep in mind that recognising isnt enough (just like us humans) sometimes recognizing could mean something negative in their heads. Like a dog knowing that a certain pet will hurt her. I’ve noticed the recognition from the dogs reactions.
My cat was trapped inside a fridge outside for hours before we found him. He was calling out & is still making very unusual sounds. He is wobbly & shaky and seems tired. Will there be an lasting damage? What should I do to look after him?
I have a very skittish and small cat that has been eating off and on for the last 2 weeks. She will come out for feeding but only eat a little but will revisit later to munch a little more. I’d say she is eating 50% of what she normally does. Nothing has changed- food, environment, placement, etc. I read how to safely put the cat in the crate, but our problem is just catching her. She only comes out from her basement territory for feeding and late night love when things are calm. She does sleep with us. I have tried trial runs to catch her but she either runs as I approach and darts through her basement cat door where she disappears or if I do get my hands on her she screams, wiggles, scratches and out of fear of hurting her or me I let go, those claws are sharp! In the evening during love time I blocked the cat door and tried to catch her, she flipped out. I tried enticing her with food and cat treats, she is too smart for that, lol. My wife can handle her more than I can and she too has tried without success. We have never been able to pick her up and hold her. She appears and acts perfectly normal. My wife is worried about her and if this continues, she thinks a vet visit may be in order (yet another vet visit, we should buy stock, lol). If we ever get her to the vet, she is their problem then, lol. She is 3 years old and other then when she was a kitten, has never been to the vet because of the above reasons. She is indoor only. Any advice on how to catch this wild crazy cat without hurting her or us?
I don’t worry about apologies. Sometimes people just “flip” for reasons we don’t know. You should see what happens on my FB group sometimes. My approach is to stick to the point and not get tangled up in anything else.

My dog is sometimes crying out in pain but I cannot locate the source of the pain. It seems to either be related to his back hip or his ribs. It is not a consistent pain but when it happens it’s very significant.

PK Dennis This could be a serious spinal issue — you need to take him to a vet for evaluation. Swelling disks, a pinched nerve, could be the problem, but you can’t be sure what is going on without a vet’s evaluation and probably an xray or soft-tissue scan. Any thing involving the spine is pretty serious in my book, so I wouldn’t wait. Often problems can be resolved with crate rest and some medication for swelling and pain.
Good luck!

Kelly Furgason Sounds like you dog needs a vet to examine. Any time they are crying out in pain means something is def not right. Pets tend to hide their pain so if it’s crying out, it’s time for a vet visit to get to the root cause. Good luck!!
i’d guess this is a dental issue. can you check his mouth to see if he’s broken a tooth or maybe has something stuck?
Drooling can occur for a number of reasons. Yes, dental issue is certainly one of them along with a foreign body in the mouth, licking something disagreeable or upset stomach. Either way, something is amiss. Unless you can safely check for something lodged on that side of the mouth, or don’t find anything, and it doesn’t go away by tonight, do have it checked.
