we have recently been told that my dog might have bone cancer in his back leg, but we cant afford to do anything until after Christmas, if there anything I can do for him as hes in a lot of pain at the moment.

What can I give my dog for hip pain?

Me and my husband rescued Grizz from the local SPCA on Friday, November 27, 2015. The next day, he began to have diarrhea which cleared up by early Sunday morning. As Sunday progressed he became extremely lethargic and would not eat. We took him to the local vet, a VCA, on Monday Nov 30 and he was diagnosed with a yeast infection in both ears and GI parasites (roundworms and hookworms). Was given Panacur to deworm and drops for his ears. The following day, Tuesday, his lethargy continued and worsened to the point in which he would not move his head. We took him to the hospital at the VCA and found out he had a 104.9 fever. During the time of examination, his face and lymph nodes instantly began to swell and there was purulent discharge from his mouth. He was admitted for IV fluids and antibiotics. After no improvements and an onset of swollen painful joins on Wednesday, the Vets suspected Grizz had juvenile lymphadenitis. On December 3, he started on steroids, dexamethasone, but he only slightly improved. On Friday, Dec 4, we decided to care for Grizz at home and was given Clavamox (1ml/2xday) Enrofloxacin (0.8ml/day), Metronidazole (0.3 ml/2xday), Predisone (10mg/day), and Bupreorphine (0.1 ml as needed 3x a day) to administer to him. By the next day his fever had broken and each day he was becoming stronger where he was able to stand and eventually walk and play. The swelling had just about fully gone down by Tuesday Dec 8. After an initial check up on Monday, Dec 7, we were told to begin to taper the Predisone by 2.5 mg weekly beginning Dec 11. He was responding well to the initial taper dose until yesterday, Thursday Dec 17. Upon waking up Thursday morning we noticed he did not want to put pressure on his front left paw and was shaking. We took him to the VCA at 10am and he remained in hospital to be monitored and was administered his antibiotics, and an additional 5 mg of Prednisone (had already received his 7.5mg dose at 8am) and IV fluids. During his stay his fever reached as high as 104 but began to decrease upon us taking him home at 6:30pm. Throughout last night his fever increased again to 103.9 (temp taken by me by his rear leg pit). His continues to favor his front left paw and his shaking has persisted. Through his entire experience his appetite as remained strong and continues to do so. The most recent treatment plan is to increase Predinisone again back to 10 mg/day for 7 days where another visit will take place on Dec 24.

I tooky dog to vet hospital on Friday night and they said he was constipated. They gave him stool softer and he has pooped 3 times and he’s still in a lot of pain. Can someone tell me what to do please?

So I thought he was making himself throw up to eat again. Because he doesn’t really cry or seem in pain. But I switched his food to see if that would help. But lately he’s been throwing up way more, and it’s mostly just clear and a small amount of white foam, and sometimes some food mixed in. He still doesn’t seem in pain and doesn’t cry. Sometimes he gags to get it out, other times he will literally just be walking and a small amount will come out. He’s also been drinking quite a bit of water lately. And urinating quite a bit when he goes outside. But other than these symptoms, he seems completely fine.

Another vet said she did not need surgery. When I took Luna in to have surgery, I was told she did not need any extractions, just cleaning. Luna has been fine until a few days ago. She is now experiencing pain again while eating.

My question is could he be having urinati g problems now because of that. I have caught him 3times on 3 different rugs squatting looking like he wants to peepee, so i then go to pick him up to put him in the litterbox and he crys alittle like hes in pain. He use to complain the same way after when i would stop his brother from suckin on him.

I noticed yesterday that my dog was limping, and later saw that there is a cut on her hind left leg that was bleeding. I gently wiped away the blood, seeing that there is a strip about 5cm long that has no hair, which is where she was bleeding from. Since, she has been constantly licking at the area, and it is obviously painful for her to walk on it, or even when she is resting. The cut itself doesn’t look much like a cut at all, as it isn’t deep or (as far as I can see) indented at all. The only thing which is clear is that there is no hair in this area, and it seems strange to me that the hairless strip is straight, so I don’t think that she caused it herself.

She is a 5 and a half year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, crossed with (it is assumed) a Labrador – she was found by the RSPCA and they are not 100% certain what she is crossed with.

My dog was attacked by another dog and has bite wounds. I treated the wounds with Blu Kote but what can I give her for pain that I would have in my medicine cabinet?

I have a kitten that just recently started limping. It’s been going on since yesterday. He’s been shaking every now and then and his fur looks different like kind of scruffy. He also meows like he’s in Pain every so often. He just been sleeping all day too.
