If you have to ask if you need to take a pet to a vet, the answer is always yes. 🙂
I have a 14 year old ShitZu that had a seizure and now he can not see. He is using the bathroom in the house and not eating properly. Can anything be done to help him?

When she was panting one night she went to the bathroom and jumped in the bathtub. My dog and I are visiting someone for a week and are staying in a apartment. Is it possible she might be home sick?

vets opinion is cancer tumor but diagnosis will cost heaps and if it is cancer nothing could be done due to location. i have been prescribed pain killers which i give her daily. however a new development has me confused, she has started to bleed a little bit from the mouth at the affected area can a tumor bleed? . should i get antibiotics for an abscess ? she deserves to be comfortable but i can not afford untreatable cancer diagnosis

Kasey Litt depending on breed, 13 is pretty old for a mid-to-large dog. Hopefully, the antibiotics will help. Your vet probably has also suggested to keep him on a bland diet for the poop issues – boiled chicken, white rice. With him being diabetic, go easy on the rice to make sure you don’t spike the blood sugar.
border collie is 11 years old, he had TPLO leg when he was 6. He was running around the pool and he seemed fine, after laying down he had trouble moving. We assumed aggravated the TPLO leg, but he’s gotten worse to the point leg paralysis

Erica Tobias No swelling that I can find, no neck or jaw stiffness, no visible discomfort. Unresponsive to prick test in the feet, all bowel/urination seems voluntary? It’s been two days of this now.

Kasey Litt My lab had this procedure a few years ago. When she over does the running around she’s quite stiff getting up and down for a few days. We will restrict her exercise but she’s never been so bad that she couldn’t move. I’m afraid he might have torn something again. Once the tear happens, a dog will show no visible discomfort and will naturally distribute body movement to the three good legs. I would probably have an X-ray done quickly.
My cats eye has been discharging and shut off and on for few days. Is it safe to use the neomycin and polymyxin B ointment I have? Allergic reactions?

Ramiah Smith This drug is an eye medication that is a combination of three antibiotics and is used in dogs and cats to treat bacterial infections.
BUT;
WHAT DOGS/CATS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION?
Cats can have a severe allergic reaction to the neomycin or polymyxin component in this eye medication
Animals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of these drugs should not take this medication

Brandon Barris Thank you, but if my cat has never taken this med and reaction is unknown is it safe to try it. What happens when there is an allergic reaction?

Ramiah Smith If your pet has swelling of the face, itching, or appears to have difficulty breathing, contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not touch the dropper or tube opening to any surface including eyes or hands.
She has also been limping on her left leg and she has not been in any accidents. Her name is Chainy and she is a sweetie, I don’t know what I would do if anything was to happen to her. Please advise. Thank you for anything you can tell me.
recently I had started to notice one eye was truly blind after getting more and more cloudy over this last winter. for the last 2 weeks it has been looking like it’s bloody around the orb of the eye and protruding some what and now for the last 2 days I have seen a oval shape in the center that looks like infection and like the eye is dead and or infected on the way dying if I was to guess. I am so worried for him. I have no funds and DO NOT want to be ignorant and hurt him or kill him when there may have been something to be done and help…. please and thank you. Anxiously awaiting….,Angel Smith
what does your vet think about it? since they know the circumstances of the seizure and the overall health of your pet, i’d ask their opinion first.
You may need to help him eat and take him outside more often until he gets used to functioning without being able to see
