dog advice

I just got back from the emergency vet after noticing my dog suddenly squinting and uncomfortable with one eye. We had just gotten back from a walk, and she ate a whole bowl of food as readily as she always does. Outside of the sudden squinting, she has been behaving normally all day. The...

We went to the vet a few months ago for a suspected uti. Urinalysis found suspected bacteria but the urine culture ultimately found no bacteria. So the vet said it was probably not a uti. During this visit we also did a blood test but everything was normal except high bilirubin. Today we went...

i don’t post on here but i have reached a point that i feel like my vets (& google) have done everything they can.. my pom is a few days shy of 4 years old and for the past couple years she has had frequent and recurring problems with fungal infections/yeast/seborrhea etc. but this last time...

I planned to start running with my dog. She is one year now and weighs around 44lb. She’s an Australian Cattle Dog/Pit/Husky/GSD, so very energetic and athletic, I would say born to run. The vet gave us advice to start sports like agility and running when she is over 1 year. Over the day we both...

hello! my chihuahua just got home from an anal gland surgery performed late yesterday. one gland was removed. he’s a normal amount of uncomfortable but awake, walking around, and very hungry. the vet’s assistant/wife told me to feed him a tbsp of broth, but the info paper said feed half the...

I have a 9 year old Boston terrier who is currently suffering from IBD. Previously he was treated with metronidazole but it stopped working. He’s currently on prednisone 10mg EOD ( the vet did a tapering dose and it’s almost done) and probiotics. When on prednisone twice a day his stools were...

I'm hoping for some insight and maybe some pointers. Our cast of dog characters: Charlie, female 7yo German Shepard; Maggie, female 5yo Basset Hound; Riot, male 2yo French Bulldog. Our cast of humans: Me, female 45 yo; daughter "P" 26 yo; daughter "E" 20 yo. We've had all of our dogs since...

I just recently started a job at a groomer and on Thursday, we were brought a 20lb dog to groom and bathe. I have never seen anything this vile and disgusting. In addition to all her physical ills, this poor girl was quite literally COVERED head to paw pads in ticks, some as big as a quarter...

(TLDR at bottom) A couple days ago, my boyfriend convinced me to rescue another dog. I’ve spent days upon weeks upon months, cumulatively, reading up on training. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable at this point. But I have never in my life had more than one dog at a time, so this is all...

I'm wondering about oral flea treatment as opposed to spot on. I've read lots saying that oral treatment is very safe but I do feel cautious. Anyone here have any experience with oral treatments? Also, if they are safe, which is the best to buy? (From the UK)

Hi all, Not quite sure how to begin but we're super worried about our puppy's health and vaccination status. Obviously it's the Easter weekend so we won't be able to contact our usual vet until Tuesday so we thought to post here. Our Pomsky (Husky x Pomeranian) is 10 weeks and five days old...

We recently found out our almost 9 year old beagle mix, Turk, has terminal cancer. He has been rapidly declining for the last 2.5 months and we finally figured out why. He’s hurting, a shadow of who he used to be so we’ve decided this weekend to let him cross the rainbow bridge. My husband and...

She ate her food as normal [half dry/half moist with healthy toppers] and looked okay after her walk. But about an hour later, she began to vomit her food. Afterwards, she would not stop shaking as if she was cold. When it was time to eat again, she refused and that's when I noticed her...

Every time I go downstairs, enter the living room, move around in the living room, heck, even move around in my OWN room, my dog goes wild and barks, and keeps barking. This frustrates my family so much, especially me, since have autisms and I can't handle loud noises well. Does my dog see me as...

Hi all, In November of last year my wife and I rescued a dog from a high kill shelter. This came a month after our 18 year old cat passed away. For context, we have 2 other cats still alive(18,16). When we brought her home, she immediately seemed refuge in the crate we got for her which...

I currently have 2 dogs that are two years apart. I’ve had to put down 2 dogs in my lifetime. They both were the only dogs in the house each time, so there was never another dog to take into consideration. We don’t plan on euthanizing anytime soon, but I would like to just be prepared for when...

This post is really long but I feel like I have to include all the details because putting a dog down is very serious and to get actual opinions I feel like you’d need to know everything. She’s a 45 pound lab mix we’ve had since she was 4wks old, we found her by a dumpster where she was...

T4 (Total) (μg/dL) Reading: 0.90 Ideal Range: 1.40 - 3.50 Inference: Low. Im asking this coz shes already completing her antibiotics course currently. Is it okay to take both the medicines together?

I need some advice, I’m in a precarious situation. I have a beautiful American Mastiff x Rhodesian nearly 4 yr old boy. He is around 35kg. He was a rescue pup we acquired just as Covid lockdowns hit. He has always been anxious; he didn’t from a place of security, but with my immediate family...

Hey there! First post here, so please forgive any mistakes I may make along the way. I have a question about my dog. As the title states, she is about 1.5 Y/O (spayed), and is super sweet and loving, but only when she knows someone WELL. For context, I work in a mom & pop shop and it is usually...
