    Good morning? I don’t believe cancer is contagious. I’m sorry you and your dog are going through that. Please enjoy each other’s time together as long as you can.

Hi. My Dog Will Not Leave Her Forelegs Alone. She Is Nibbling, Licking…

Hi. My dog will not leave her forelegs alone. She is nibbling, licking and almost sounds as though she is trying to take them off!! The vet cannot find anything though we have tried cortisone cream which she licks off(not good) and steroids but to no avail. She did have two lines in some weeks ago as she was unwell. HELP

    Good morning? I am so sorry that your dog is having such issues. Has your vet done a skin scrape to test for parasites? That may help you find a remedy that will work. Also, is there anything in your yard or along your daily walk that your dog may walk through that could cause such a reaction that you are aware of? While it is nearly impossible to avoid certain plants and foliage outside, again if you can pinpoint which thing might be causing it, it will be easier to find a medication to help more. Your vet may also be able to refer you to a specialist. Best of luck.

    She isn’t comfortable. This is either an allergic reaction to something or her way of managing pain. Cortisone won’t work…ask your vet for something like Betagen. It’s a bad tasting topical spray that can help healing and will deter licking. I would also increase her mental work to distract her from the itchies and pain. This means training! Do things that work her mind.

    I would. This won’t get better without some intervention, and the vet can tell you exactly what it is and what treatment is best.

I Noticed My Dog (Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua Mix Born Feb 28, 2016 15lbs) Licking His…

I noticed my dog (Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix born Feb 28, 2016 15lbs) licking his penis. So I examined it and I noticed that the hair on the tip of his penis is turning black and hardening at the base of the hair and the hairs falling out. I also noticed that he has a lump on the right side of the tip of his penis. I’m just very concerned because I just now examined him to find the lump but have notice the hair problem for about a week or 2. Please help!

    I agree- the sooner you get to the vet, the better. If you let it wait, it may become costly if it is in fact infected. Good luck!

    Please take your dog to.a Vet as soon as you can. Something is obviously wrong. He could have an infection needing treatment or something else. All lumps need checking too. This is bothering him a great deal if he’s constantly licking the area and whatever it is needs to be diagnosed and treated. Hope he’s better soon.

I Have A 5 Year Young Border Collie Lab And She Has These Episodes Where…

I have a 5 year young border collie lab and she has these episodes where she starts licking/salivating, sometimes lip smacking occurs. Episodes last about 1-2 hours. Her heart rateia normal 69-80 bpm. Her breath doesn’t stink. I brush her teeth daily. Pupils are responsive (no epilepsy or seizures, she doesn’t lick the air just her mouth) She has had a general blood test done. Her kidney/liver function, electrolytes, thyroid, hormones, and her Red and White blood cell count were all normal. Test results were all normal.

    I would discuss conditions like megaesophagus, reflux, seizures, and neurological issues. This is a condition that very likely needs a vets assistance to diagnose.

    Just try to keep an eye on him, and when he starts to go for his surgery sight, redirect him as best you can.

  2. Krista Magnifico

    I have seen people make a cone by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket to put their pets head through. Or you can put a big sock over the leg. Or Elizabethan collars are available at most pet stores

    I would contact your Veterinarian or if your Vet is recommending surgery don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion. I happened to find a wonderful Vetrinarian whom I trust very much when surgery was recommended for a condition that my dog had. Best of luck!

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    I would recommend seeing your vet, they should be able to give you all options available for this mass. If you are not happy with your vets options get late second opinion.

    It can mean allergies, infection or most commonly fleas. I suggest using a flea comb to look really well (even if you don’t think it’s that) I have a great YouTube video on it, search Dr. Magnifico and fleas. Please talk to your vet about this first so you can rule out a medical based issue. Please keep us posted!

    Hello
    If the itching and chewing is resulting in open wounds you need to seek veterinary help. In most cases something to stop the irch is needed along with antibiotics and an ecollar. They can have him felling better very soon.

  2. Caroline Harrold

    My dogs had that aswell, my vet put them on antibiotics to fight any infections and to help healing and also gave them steroids to stop them scratching so much

    I apologize for the response being so late, but we hope everything was able to be diagnosed and treated. Sounds like this could’ve been an allergy to something or a possible flare up causing hot spots.
