How old is your dog? This could be many things. Monitor it and if it keeps getting larger or appears to bother him its best to get it checked out by a vet.
I Have A 4 Year Old Pit Bull. The Last Few Days He Has Been…
I have a 4 year old pit bull. The last few days he has been sluggish with sneezing, runny eyes and an occasional nonproductive cough. Today, I noticed two enlarged lymph nodes. No appetite or voiding problems. Our other dog is fine. He is not around other dogs. We live in the country and his yard time is supervised.

My Cat, Stella, Is Seeming To Have A Hard Time Passing A Hairball…
Hi there!
My cat, Stella, is seeming to have a hard time passing a hairball. She will have a coughing fit and then lay down and moan and breathe loudly for about 10-45 minutes after her fit, purr and then go to sleep.
I’ve tried giving her hairball assistance treats but it hasn’t seemed to work. She just can’t seem to get the hairball out. Is there anything I can do to help her?
Thanks.

Diedra Cardamone Hello Briar,
I am sorry your cat is having such difficulties. Because she is having breathing problems (and for such a long time) it is probably best to go to the vet and get some additional help. I hope she feels better soon!

Hello, My Kitten Is About To Become 1 Year Old Now, She Has Had Several…
Hello, my kitten is about to become 1 year old now, she has had several health issues that stopped recently and last was a gastro anteritis ( kept vomiting and got dehydrated) that started just around the time I changed her food from Burns to Orijen kitten (about 2 weeks later). I have her on Burns again now as recommended by my vet until she’s 1yo and am considering changing for a grain free food however I am not sure which one to chose. I do consider trying Orijen again however the protein level in that food is much higher than the level she is on right now. My cat is an exotic shorthair neutered female. Here are my 3 choices for the new food:

Would you be able to give me some advise or personal opinion?

Diedra Cardamone Hello Zee,
I am sorry your kitten wasn’t feeling well. I am not an expert on food so sorry I can’t help there. Has your vet run all the basic diagnostics already: ran a fecal and blood sample to rule out a medical problem before changing the diet? Maybe the root of the problem is not the food. You could ask your vet about seeing a specialist too. I hope your kitten feels better soon!

Diedra Cardamone Two weeks ago is probably too long ago. Keep monitoring him. Keep us posted and I hope he feels better!

julie brader Please take your dog to your Vet!! She could have an absess on her anal glands; they could be compacted or worse if there is a lump. It could also be a prolapsed bowel. Shes in obvious pain too or she wouldn’t be dragging herself across the floor trying to relieve the pain.
This can’t be left any longer please see your Vet urgently it will only get worse and she needs treatment.
Yes so be careful with your pet try to avoid bee stings and poison ivy if they do get allergy give them Benadryl
Oh he has terrible allergies just never noticed the lymph nodes before.
Yes give him Benydrl mix with water
Gave him Benadryl. He is on the couch with his blankie now.
Ok
Sorry pressed wrong button!
I don’t know what Melina is telling you to be honest but your dog needs more than Bendryl. This doesn’t sound like allergies to me it sounds like infection. Sneezing, runny eyes, cough and enlarged lymph nodes, sluggish? ..you need to take him to a Vet before he gets any worse.
Take him to a Vet!!
He is on antibiotics so hopefully he will perk up soon. Thanks everyone! He has never been sick before.
Thanks. He is on antibiotics now. That’s my baby so I couldn’t sit and wait. He isn’t happy right now because he got shots but a doggy cookie helped.
So pleased you saw Krista and my replies….I’m sure he will recover soon with antibiotics. Can i just say some Probiotic would help while hes on the meds. Natural live yoghurt on his food, a couple of teaspoons a couple of times a day. Hope hes better soon!
My baby got stung by a bee 2 times about every month so we gave him Benydrl , Benydrl is Medicean for allergy if u google it then u would understand but since it’s strong for him u need to mix with water like my baby
I have probiotic tabs. Will that work? He really isn’t hard to give oral meds to.
Are they Probiotic tablets for dogs? If they are and you know the dose to give him then yes. I wouldn’t give him Probiotic tablets for humans though….I don’t know if they would be safe for dogs. I know you’ll be safe with yoghurt though.
