We bought the wrong kind. We bought something for adult dogs. He is not an adult yet so we went back yesterday and bought the right kind. The vomiting stopped now he just won’t eat and he still has a fever. He’ll eat his doggie treats here and there just not his actual food. What should we do?

    I would take your dog and the dog food you bought to a vet!  This may be a case of poisoning from a recalled food – or it could be unrelated to the food at all!  Only the vet can help you determine what is happening with your pups’s health.  Typically switching to an adult dog food does not result in vomiting and fever!  I suspect something else is going on.

    Not even 24 hours later and he is worse then before I took him. He won’t get up and he won’t even eat.

Symptoms are swollen bottom of eye, weepy eyes, squinting and keeping them closed. Since the second dose we noticed about a week into treatment that she opens her eyes about half way every so often. Still squinting and weeping a little bit. Swelling has gone down a lot, but still there. She is also on a daily dose of lysine and has been using it for about a week. After her medication time is over will her eyes continue to improve? Could the swelling just be her eyes irritated from the constant drops?

    The vet thought it was an occurance of feline herpes from the stress of the adoption. Our cat had some issues before adoption such as abandonment and broken ribs. But if by Monday we don’t notice any difference we are gonna see the vet again oand see about goimg to a feline ophthemologist if they don’t have any other ideas as to why her eyes won’t clear up.

I Am Looking After A Cat Who Is Not Eating After Being Treated For A…

I am looking after a cat who is not eating after being treated for a bladder infection on 10/31. He returned home on 11/3 after being under vet supervision, and although he was somewhat active, he was still being lethargic and then slowly started to decline again (not eating, although drinking and using the litterbox). He was taken back to the vet on 11/7 I was told that he is depressed and misses his owner. I returned to the vet today and was told again that he is “starving himself from depression”. He has since stopped drinking and using the litter box. Any advice on what to do?

    Also, the owner is out of the country until June! I am the long-term caretaker.

    Hi Carolyn,
    There are steps your vet can take if he has stopped drinking as well as eating- give fluids subcutaneously, prescribe an appetite stimulant, etc. Did they run bloodwork? You can tempt his appetite, possibly, by offering Fancy Feast, or Gerber’s turkey or chicken baby food. Sometimes they’ll try tuna, or rabbit (vet sells.) You can syringe feed him with Hill’s AD(add water.) Worst case scenario- they can hospitalize him and/or place a feeding tube. They need to do something to turn him around.
    If you can post a head shot here, I could send him Reiki long-distance.

  3. Carolyn Hedlund

    Thank you, Krista. I appreciate your advice. The vet only suggested taking him to an emergency vet and said that they would run tests that would cost 3-5K, with no mention of a feeding tube or any other suggestions for sparking his appetite. Although he did give us nutritional gel, he was not interested in that and we have had to force feed it to him to at least get him some nourishment. It seems as though he should be taken to another vet! Thanks again. Best,
    Carolyn

    i would absolutely take your kitten to the vet – pain is an indicator that something is wrong!  your vet should be able to tell you why your kitten is in pain.

Update: My Cat Was Drooling Clear Liquid Then It Turned To Brown And Then Bleeding…

Update: My cat was drooling clear liquid then it turned to brown and then bleeding in approximately a week. Then she was rescued and taken to the Vet. She got treatment and was better with no vomiting, bleeding etc. but she was not eating. For day she passed loose stools. She was cured but then she ran away for a day. She was again rescued and fed milk and glucose water. her ears were warm at this time. She had three seizures followed by this.

She was taken tothe hospital and given an injection (Lori umm am not sure) after which she slept for like a day and then she was a little relaxed…she again had a seizure which was less severe after 27 hours…then treated… no injection for seizure this time no fever……… she became restless and wanted to be out of the basket…we released her…she started biting…had more seizures in the next 12 hours…at this point she wanted to eat and ate a little bit idk because of anger or hunger

we calmed her down and sent her to the hospital. all this happened over a period of 13 14 days…please tell me what this was…doctor tried to draw blood but it would not come out…no test could be done…is it RABIES?

VitaHound is continually evaluating and searching for highly dependable dog care resources. Over the past 20 years we have assembled a directory of the top organizations to reference for canine care issues by category. We are currently evaluating our selection of Pet Poison help lines and or Websites. Our current recommendation is http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/, our staff would truly appreciate the opinion of pet owners on this source and suggestions on other sources. This site currently is for profit and a current survey of pet owners indicates the fees involved in any pet care service creates a real barrier to access.

Hi!
First I would like to mention that we took our dog to see the vet here but he didn’t know what to do to help.
We have have a Daschund. She is quite old – 11 years. And recently was diagnosed with diabetis. She has been shivering and weak since yesterday. What could be the problem?

    Hello Annija.

    Shivering and weakness can be common symptoms of unregulated diabetes and so many other conditions. Because unregulated diabetes can become life-threatening if left unmanaged, you need to seek proper medical care for her; either at your regular veterinarian or request a referral to a specialist.

    With the proper care, 11 year olds can lead many more years of a good life.

It Is Perfectly Round And Symmetrical, Appears To Be Under The Skin (hair Is Intact)…

It is perfectly round and symmetrical, appears to be under the skin (hair is intact), fairly firm, 2 inches in diameter and doesn’t seem to be bothering my dog when touched. He was also licking his nose very frequently when it showed up along with increased sneezing. I’m wondering, What this is caused by? Should he see a vet? Could this be caused by an allergy?

    i’d get him in, particularly if it’s anywhere near teeth.

    Any unusual lump should be seen by a vet.  Especially before it gets any bigger
