I have a 12 year old Westi (male) who developed a wrenching couch a few months ago. Besides this cough his life seems normal–no problems with food, stool etc. He has this wrenching cough several times a day. What to do?

    what did the vet say about that cough when it first showed up?  what diagnostics were done?

    The vet of course wants to give the pooch $1,000 worth of tests which may or may not turn up anything. I was hopine that someone ‘out there’ might be familiar with this problem and could provide more direct advice.

    Thanks for your reply.

    well, it could be heart disease. this would require an echocardiogram at the very least, to determine whether the heart is enlarged. it’s not like they’re trying to nickle and dime you – they’re trying to determine the cause.

Whenever My Family And I Touch Our 6 Year Old Maltese Shitzu Back Leg He…

Whenever my family and I touch our 6 year old Maltese Shitzu back leg he yelps in pain? Walks with a limp and from time to time he walks on his right leg only because of it. He has no other health problems and this is very out of the blue? We went to the vet a day after it started (23rd/12th) and she thinks it’s something to do with his muscle but not 100% sure. What do you think it is and what would be the cost?

Hi There, I Am Concerned As My Cats Urine Has Been Smelling More Strongly Over…

Hi there, I am concerned as my cats urine has been smelling more strongly over ammonia over the past week or so. The strong smell is present when she urinates and defecates and I am worried this may be a symptom of an underlying health problems. Other than that she appears healthy, comfortable. She drinks a lot of water and eats regularly.
Any advice would be appreciated.

We Have 2 Male And Neutered Cats, And One Female Spayed Dog. One Of The…

We have 2 male and neutered cats, and one female spayed dog. One of the cats (we aren’t 100% certain which, but are setting up video cameras to determine which) is peeing on the dog beds. It started a year ago and would happen for a couple of weeks, then stop for a few months, start over again, repeat repeat. It happens mostly on the dog’s various beds, but has also happened on plastic shopping bags full of clothes. Comfy, soft things.

We took both cats to the vet when it first started and they didn’t find anything wrong… Just a few tiny crystals that most likely formed because they had to wait 2 days between the samples being taken and being tested, so all three of the vets said they were normal. We are taking them both to the vet again next week to do more testing (or just these guilty one, once we discover which one is doing it).

We have multiple CLEAN litter boxes, both open and closed top. One is even self cleaning after use, and my husband empties the others very frequently and cleans/washes them evey week. They have various bathroom and liter options, so I’m sure that’s not the problem.

We have tried cleaning the dog beds with all the appropriate cat urine cleaning solutions, but the second time we threw them all out and bought new ones. We did that the third time too. Now our poor dog has no beds until we solve the problem.

The dog is not a fan of the cats. She growls at them a lot, and is very protective of her food, “spaces,” toys, and bed. The cats don’t seem to mind at all, and act as though she’s not there, although I know sometimes cats don’t show when they are stressed. We know this is an issue, but she has been this way her while life. We not getting rid of the dog to solve the problem, not an option.

We of course will do all the tests at the vet (and do any surgery, take any medicine, or perform any procedure he needs), but we are worried that the poor cat is doing this due to a behavioral or dominance problem. If this is the case, does anyone have any recommendations about how to change his behavior? We will not be putting him in a shelter, we will not be re-homing him (unless we discover that he needs to be in a single pet home, in which case I will be heart broken but we will find him the perfect family), and no way in hell will we be putting him down. We will keep him even if he pees on my favorite rug or couch or carpet every 2 days. But I would obviously prefer if that weren’t the case… We have a baby coming in 6 months and I am hoping we have the issue mostly dealt with by then (although I realize long term behavior may take longer than that to change completely). Please help if you can. I feel like I am losing my very hormonal mind.

    Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?

    I actually had a male kitten that had a sibling suckle on the end of penis and had actually caused an injury to the penis so the male cat could not pee!  It was easily fixed and required some TLC.  Today the cat is fine.

    So take him to a vet ASAP!

    Hello,
    Most of the time people do not vaccinate chicks. But sometimes you can treat with antibiotics put into the water. What is the problem you are having?
