Is there a chance that’s she got into anything poisonous (household cleaner, prescription meds, etc…) or can you see any chewed wires around by chance? I would call the vet ASAP.
My maltese mix has had 2 or 3 warts since Ive had her (5 or 6years). But recently I’ve noticed that a few more are popping up all at once. Does this mean anything or is this just something that happens with age or something

I left my 8 yr old maltese mix alone for 45 minutes. When I returned she was acting very strange like she was dizzy and afraid of me. She won’t let me hold her and she won’t eat or drink.

I have an at least 8 yr old maltese mix. (She was a stray)
She isn’t normally very active. She usually just stays on my bed. She loves to go places with me and shes very well behaved.
I had to leave her home tonight for about 45 minutes. When I got home I noticed she wasn’t acting right. Her eyes were kind of big and moving back and forth like she was dizzy. I picked her up and she immediately wanted down. (Not normal)
It’s almost like she’s afraid of me. She’s not a real affectionate dog but she’s always comfortable when I hold her.
Her head and eyes are moving kind of weird. I have a short video. Having trouble uploading it.
She also won’t have anything to do with food or water.

Anonymous I would worry about a seizure, to be honest. Can you post it to Youtube and share the video from there?

Anonymous Every video on Youtube has a weblink. If you post it here, we can see it, but you should make sure YOUR vet sees it today!

Anonymous To my uneducated eyes, I’d guess that’s a seizure. Did you call the vet yet??!

Anonymous Unfortunately, you may be risking her health if there’s something seriously wrong. Please try to find a way to get her in ASAP…she could have issues with thyroid or blood sugar, something neurological could be going on, or it could be something else.
I have a 1year and four month old chihuahua mix. She is 8 lb full grown, not over weight, and eats a grain free natural diet. Last night as I was petting her, I noticed this red bump. I am scared to death and am going to make a vet apt when they open today, but for now…anyone know what this bump could be? It is red, moveable, topical (doesn’t feel like it is attached to deep tissue at all), and is not causing pain. She is eating and drinking normally. should I be worried? Anyone have any ideas as to what it may be?

My 6 year old shar pei/golden retriever mix has a mysterious bump on her lower leg. It appeared out of nowhere on Jan 1. She doesn’t seem bothered by it, it just looks like a pink bump really. I took her to the vet who took one look (barely a look at all because it had all of the fur covering it) and said it was either a cyst that maybe was a little infected or a pappilloma. She said to put neosporin and aloe vera on and cover with a sock daily. I have done that for more then a week and the bump looks the same (I trimmed the hair to get a better look). Do you think I should be concerned or push for a further look or is something like this just that easy to diagnose as she seemed to think?
My 28lb dachshund mix ate one children’s vitamin. I will post the ingredients. Should I take him to the ER?
I’d love to hear you opinion on the corporatizing ( making that word up) of veterinary clinics. Personally I’ve had mixed results with both small independent clinics and with one of the large corporate players.

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!

Hi all, my cat is prescribed with tramadol tablet (50mg), to be taken 1/4 tablet three times a day for her broken pelvis. But it is so hard to make her take the pill as it is very bitter. Can i mix it with Ora-Plus or simple syrup? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

We adopted a 15 month old Akita mix recently. In the past couple of days we’ve noticed a “Hairy water balloon” on the back of her neck. We took her to the vet and the doctor said it was a Seroma nd drained it. It has since returned days later and now he wants to install a drain. I am not comfortable with that I feel that it should be able to go away on its own, after reading an article that agreed with my thought. He is eating, playing and it is not hot to the touch, just squishy. We want to do the right thing but don’t want any unnecessary stress or infection.
Hello,
Some of these skin masses are benign cosmetic lesions and require only monitoring. But others can be more dangerous to your pet. Th best advice is to consult with your veterinarian and if you or they are concerned about any of them have them removed and submitted for a biopsy. That’s the best and in some cases only way to truly diagnose them.
