Hi, my dog’s face is very swollen looking, he keeps leaving the room where people are, and rubbing his face on the ground and itching his face. He keeps getting up and moving constantly and has a pink rash. Any idea what might be wrong?
It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. Was he outside or came inside and it started happening? Did he receive any medications recently? If it gets bad it can progress. Benadryl may help but if it’s bad, but he may really need injectable medications so I would recommend taking him to a vet near you. Make sure he is breathing ok.
Hi, I have a 16 year-old female Chihuahua/Lhasa-Apso who has been prone to seizures for several months and has been taking medication to prevent this. However; several days ago she had a convulsion – and since then, she has had an increase in jitters, seems mostly unresponsive to petting, has lost appetite, her tail is nearly always limp, and she appears lethargic.
On top of this, she also sounds as though she has fluid/mucus in her lungs, as she takes raspy deep-breaths every now and then. Since this morning, she has begun coughing up clear/bubbly + thick fluid every so-often, is refusing to drink/eat/ take seizure medication.
Her last check-in with the vet indicated that cancer was not present (At least, in her organs) and her blood did not indicate high cholesterol or diabetes.
Given the symptoms listed, what do you believe my dog is suffering from, and is there any medication/preventative measures I can treat my dog with to combat this illness?
Thanks 🙂
Dog has almost made a full recovery over the last few day. After discussing with my vet, this can occur if she doesn’t take her medication or vomits it up, as well as if she had eaten food that is high in protein. I think that she must have vomited her pill up, and as such we’ve been increasing her dosage until we’re certain she’s completely well again. On top of that, we’ve changed her diet slightly by removing kangaroo meat from her food and only using white meat. The food we give her is always home-made and has been approved by the vet. Sadly, due to my dog’s conditions and already prescribed medication, if this were to occur again, the best they could prescribe is either antibiotics or, if it gets very bad, we may have to have her put down.
However, like I said earlier, she is back to her normal and happy self, demanding food and is playing madly with our other dog. Thanks for your comment 🙂
my dog is vomiting yellow mucus has a dry nose, no appetite is drinking some water but not a lot and is moping. what should I do?
I would head to the vet.
My dog Lucky is having her heat soon but we are having her spayed on Tuesday what do we do?
Hello,
I’d talk with your vet, many vets won’t spay a dog in heat, but if she’s just close to it should not be a problem. Good luck!

I agree with Kelly. Communicate this with your vet.
I just found a tiny lump behind the right shoulder of my 3.5 month kitten. How worried should I be?
He was vaccinated a clue of weeks ago and he doesn’t have any kind of parasites.
Would he still have a bump a couple of weeks after getting vaccinated?

My yellow lab keeps coughing and ultimately retching. Foam and spit come up.
added note he went swimming in the creek yesterday and now his foam looks like algae from the creek in it…..could he have creek water in his lungs? When he lays still no coughing…..when he is active….coughing and retching.
This was one month ago. Dog got put back on pain meds. He is 10. Forgot to ask if that bone chip was something to consider removing. Vet never discussed the option. Just need to know bc the healing is taking time. Every other day pain med admin. He seems to reinjure or as soon as meds roll off he’s back to pain. But with the meds he acts fine. Is it something else?
I agree with Krista, this is a question for your vet. If you think it’s taking too long to heal I would recommend seeing a orthopedic surgeon and getting their opinion.
Good Luck

she sneezes, eye fluid discharge, nasal discharge
I have a pet rat shes about 2 years old. One day she was perfectly fine and the next morning we noticed a big lump on the side of her neck. Its getting bigger and is now taking over the side of her face.
Fancy rats are prone to tumors, and I’d be willing to bet that’s what this is. Please get her to the vet TODAY about this.
None of this is OK. Get both her and her pup to the vet, please. Consider this an emergency.
