i’d also worry about DM, knowing how prevalent it is in GSDs.
My 12 year old dog is having hip trouble. Not putting weight on right leg and left gives out. she seems happy but is in pain. What can I do.
My overweight calico cat, her name is Raja, has some kind of sickly-sweet smelling dark discharge coming out of her butt, i can’t tell if it’s her anus or vagina. The skin around the base of the tail and lower back is also super sensitive. She has just today started showing signs of pain but the discharge has been there for weeks. What’s going on?

I have a German shepherd and her hind legs are swollen and she can’t walk much. She is 6. Any way to help relieve the pain before I can get her to a bet tomorrow? Ice? Heat? Anything?
He has big puncture wounds all around his neck and is in a lot of pain what can I do for him he has blood all over him can I bath him and what can I put on the wounds and can I give him baby tylonal for the pain he can’t hardly get up he keeps calapesing
He has developed many scabs. Some look like a big pimple, while other crusting has developed in lines on skin. He, for the most part, will let me clean the wounds and try to ease his issue. His skin is hot to touch. Just in the past few days Ziggy has developed vision and hearing problems. Both eyes have a thick, yellowish “boogie”. He is very lethargic recently as well. Ziggy isn’t yelping,crying,or verbal in any way showing he is in great pain.
my 4yr.old she is antcey like shes in a lot of pain she wont eat full of the runs thur out the night and still. how can I help her.
Whenever my family and I touch our 6 year old Maltese Shitzu back leg he yelps in pain? Walks with a limp and from time to time he walks on his right leg only because of it. He has no other health problems and this is very out of the blue? We went to the vet a day after it started (23rd/12th) and she thinks it’s something to do with his muscle but not 100% sure. What do you think it is and what would be the cost?
nsaids are safe and effective pain relief for dogs ? i read that ,please verify ? i would be sick if i caused this sweet,loyal friend more pain.Bay is a black lab.approx 7 yrs old.80ish lbs.
Grizz is currently undergoing his first relapse of puppy strangles and is back to 10 mg of Pred a day in addition to 3 antibiotics. Although he did not have the common symptoms he was diagnosed with puppy strangles on Nov 31 and began aggressive steroid treatment two days later. During his initial onset of the strangles he did have swollen joints while in the hospital (although I’m not sure how many on which specifically were swollen). On the morning of Thursday 17, we woke up to find Grizz favoring his front left paw, no swelling at the time. Took him to the vet and they felt he was undergoing his first relapse (he also had a fever). Later that day he began to put pressure on the paw and continued to do so, now he is even running on it. The swelling began on Friday the 18 and has not gotten bigger or smaller than the initial onset. He does not seem to be in pain, no shivering, favoring, fever or reaction when I touch or try to bend the joint.
Any ideas what this could be or is it just related to the strangles and it needs more time for the Pred to reach this joint. He has an appointment on Monday if the swelling does not go down. We are already financially stretched out because of his week stay in the hospital (only four days after rescuing him from the SPCA) so I’m hoping and praying he won’t need an MRI, CAT scan, or X ray. if anyone has any idea what this could be, I would so appreciate it. I’m currently icing the joint for ten minutes every few hours. Poor guy has gone through so much in his short time here.
She is spayed, about 6 years ago. She is 7. I know I need to bring her to a vet, I just haven’t had the money, but ill have enough soon. I just wanted to know what it might be and if there’s anything I can do in the meantime. I’ve tried to see where it’s coming from but it’s very hard to tell and she is finicky when I try to look. If I had to guess though I would say her anus.

I was thinking along the lines of anal sacs issues too, but nothing I looked up described what’s going on. Ill just have to wait until our vet sees her. But anyways, thank you for helping me out, I appreciate it!
