I would take ur dog to ur vet and make sure.
Can 1 dog get an ear infection from another dog? She didn’t have an ear infection 3 days ago when I took her to the vet. That day I let her mother come over & spend the night for a play date & she has ear infections in both ears & 1 is really bad. The owner doesn’t take care of the mother like I do my dogs. BJ’s has a tendency to get ear infections so I have medicated wash & a RX on hand for her. I wash her ears out once a week, but this morning her ear is red and she’s scratching it. I started her redgiment again & put her cone collar on so she doesn’t scratch.
I wouldn’t be thinking this if she hadn’t just seen her vet for her 6 months check up and nothing was wrong with her ears.
My dog had an ear infection that lasted for 3 months about 9 months ago. She went back 6 months ago for some more meds & got rid of it then. She’s 14 months old and a Corkie

My boxer had his eye removed a few years ago due to an unfortunate accident. The place where it was sewn up (where his eye used to be) is swollen and kind of tender. I’m thinking maybe he bumped his eye but I want to be sure.

Towards the end of my dogs phantom pregnancy I noticed she was itching her top left nipple quite a bit. I automatically checked for fleas as you do when you see a dog itching and no sign of any. Knowing I had recently given her flea treatment it was probably unlikely to be fleas so I’ve just kept an eye on it checking her everyday.
It does’t seem to be bothering her too much but she had caught her nipple from itching and caused it to look a bit sore.
I am unsure if it is related to the phantom pregnancy as I haven’t noticed her to itch anywhere else on her body other than that particular nipple and her phantom pregnancy symptoms seemed to be worse this time round, she did produce quite a bit of milk. I want to know if i can do anything to help?
My 5.5month old blue heeler hurt her back right paw. I believe it is one toe, she lets me press and extend her leg/joints with little reaction. When I move her 2nd toe to her side, or spread her middle two toes is when she lets me know it hurts. No whining or whimpering, she just gently puts pressure on my hand with her mouth.
Injury occurred yesterday, about 36 hours ago. Yesterday she would put the leg down, even ran a bit. Today she has the leg lifted/hanging above the ground. She will use it to jump up onto couch, I’m trying to limit her as much as possible. Other than that she is completely lame in her back leg. Paw has slight swelling. Not much at all.
Please help, I want to do what’s best for her, and am willing to do whatever it takes financially. But I am in a position where I need advice if seeing a vet is necessary, or to monitor and see if there’s improvement. I just don’t have the money to walk into my vets office unless I suspect I need to see a professional.

Anonymous I would have her on crate rest for 24-48 hours. This means no jumping on couches and all outside visits should be on leash for potty needs, then back inside. If it resolves itself in that time, then it’s just a strain or sprain of some sort. If it doesn’t, then you need to go to the vet.
My dog will not eat solud food but drinks water ,lathargy , vomiting, what doi do
10 yr old F Bichon Frise: 7 days now no solid food, occasional water taken, small dark or mustard liquidy stools, some vomiting. Vet gave her Pectalin, Metro, nausea and fluid shots – no improvement yet.
I checked his feet, nails, webbing, joints, etc. nothing is swollen and he does not pull away or whimper when I touch of maneuver his leg. It has been two hours since running. He slept for awhile, but once he got up he was still limping, and it almost seemed a little worse. He is still happy (he got up for a treat).

Anonymous I would be willing to guess he pulled or strained something. How old is he? I’d have him on reduced exercise for 24-48 hours, and if he doesn’t improve, then I’d get him to the vet.

Elizabeth Mae Thank you! He is a 2 year old golden retriever, and still really goofy when he runs (he doesn’t stop in time, runs into things, etc.) I’m hoping he just pulled something. My vet is closed until Monday, so I can’t call for any advice.

Anonymous Put him on crate rest until then. That means no exercise, and all outside trips should be on leash.
-
Elizabeth Mae Thank you. He seems a little reluctant to get up, and he has trouble getting up the stairs. I just took him outside on a leash to go to the bathroom, and he was putting weight on it outside (still limping though), but holding it up again when we got inside. Is it possible that it is just a pulled muscle?

Elizabeth Mae Thank you for your help! After looking at it a few more times, his ankle is slightly swollen, and that seems to be the area bothering him, so I’m thinking its a sprained ankle. I appreciate your help!
My pet is being found a lump on the lymphatic area, so we go to a vet and make a biopsy, after the biopsy, i found that the area is swelling, it is normal? or anything happened? Seek for help
My cat drools profusely when she gets pet.. Is this normal? It’s like dripping all over the arm of the couch… ugh.

Erin Thune I think it’s pretty normal. A majority of the cats that I know drool when they’re happy/relaxed, actually.

Andrew Stanish Aw poor kitty

Andrew Stanish time for a kitty-proof couch!

Andrew Stanish maybe those plastic couch cover things?

Andrew Stanish or scotch guard, that stuff rocks!
Came home from work tonight and my puppy started limping on her back leg. But she was still playing and running like it didn’t seem to bother her, so i thought it might just be a sprain. She has a small bump on the bottom of her foot ?
Normally, I would say no that ear infections are not commonly passed from 1 dog to another, however, it is possible to spread ear mites from 1 dog to another and the other dog could have been licking your dogs ear which could have lead to an ear infection. Ear mites are not common in dogs. So it’s possible that the visiting dog could have been licking you dogs ears resulting in an ear infection.
Also, it is possible your dog could have just gotten an ear infection that just happened to coincide with the other dogs visit.
