I Have A 2 Year Old Pug That Has Started Acting Strange Since Monday The Day He …
I have a 2 year old pug that has started acting strange since Monday the day he went to get his anal glands expressed. Hey has stopped welping at the table when we eat , he has also stopped eating his canned food and only eats his kibble at night, and he has stopped snoring at night like he used to. The thing I’m most worried about is that he has lost two whiskers this month.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
If a client calls me with concerns like this I always tell then to listen to their concerns. You know your pet better than anyone else and you are their only advocate. Isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?
My Pug Was Throwing Up Today In The Morning He Has Thrown Up Last Week Which …
My pug was throwing up today in the morning he has thrown up last week which was when I took him to the vet they told me to change his food because that will help. I changed his food to royal canin for pugs and he seemed to be doing much better but he would only eat at night so I went out and bought him pedigree canned food he does perfectly fine with the beef but his breeder told us to buy him the pedigree puppy food so we started giving him the puppy food yesterday then he woke up today and threw up twice it’s like some sort of white foam with mucus we also just noticed that his private part is really stiff he is peeing okay and he’s not neutered he’s two years old should I start to worry

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I’m sorry but I don’t quite understand your question. It sounds like you should call your vet and ask for help with the concerns you have. I’m not sure if any of the information you list is related to the problems you are concerned about. But I think your vet can direct you. Ask about intestinal parasites, food, anti nausea medications and anything else you have questions about.-
Madison Post author Well they told us the results from his exams and they said he has no parasites and that it was an allergy of the food but I have done what they told us to do and nothing works

Sarah Good morning
If your dog continues vomiting, you may want to get him to a vet ER. If he is eating and drinking normally and doesn’t seem to be lethargic- he is probably fine. -
Laura You asked this question 3 days ago, as well. I think I’d call the vet today and ask their opinion since he’s vomited twice now.

Madison Post author Hello thank you very much I took him today in the morning and they told us to change his food and it is an allergic reaction they also told us that many dogs are getting sick and it might be a virus going around

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I’m sorry but there isn’t enough pertinent medical information for anyone to answer this. It doesn’t sound like an emergency but I would call your regular vet and ask for a check up. Just to be safe. Ask for the anal sacs to be checked. If the vomiting persists for to the vet ASAP-
Madison Post author Thank you do you think it can be that he has parasites?

Krista Magnifico If you aren’t on a preventative and you aren’t submitting fecals every year then yes. It’s possible. But do not buy an otc without taking to your vet first.

Sarah Good morning-
It is so hard to tell anything from a photo. This could be an allergic reaction possibly. You will have to have your vet look at them in person though to be sure. If it is, they can give you some medications (oral/topical) that will help clear it up and offer some comfort to your pup. It could also be a side effect caused by something else- I wouldn’t do anything until you get to see your vet. Best of luck!!!!

Krista Magnifico Neutering is a safe procedure and cost can vary. I usually ask for an exam,$45, pre op bloodwork $50 and updated vaccines. Surgery is about 150-300. But there are lots of low price spay and neuter clinics around me too. Some are about $20

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I would be worried that the licking is an indication of pain. Limping can be indicative of many things to. like injury, illness or Orthopedic issues. Please see a vet about this. There is no other credible advice I can give from here.

Hello,
Please see your vet asap! This is an open wound and antibiotics and pain medication is needed asap. .
At my clinic the cost of an exam is about $50 and a topical antibiotic wash (we use our surgical prep wash) is about $20. Antibiotics and an analgesic can be prescribed via chewy for about $20 each if you ask for it this way.
You can also ask your vet to show you how to manage this so that it will not happen again.
Please see your vet asap. And open infected wound by the anus is something to be addressed. I understand this is a holiday weekend in the USA If your vet is closed then call an er and ask for help. In many cases IF the pet is acting normally (eating drinking and acting like their normal self) it might be able to wait until after the holiday, but the er also might be your best bet so she doesn’t have to wait days.
You can absolutely ask the er to be mindful of your budget. These cases for me are an exam and medications. These cases should not be costly anywhere. If you feel that they are not following your request to stay affordable come back to pawbly and let us know. And then see your vet on weds.
