My 9 month old pup has been so healthy and a great dog. However the last 3 weeks he’s been getting diarrhea. He was treated with meds, and things were looking good. However a few days ago it came back full force. Another vet trip, more meds, and this time anti diarrheal meds and probiotics...

N.b. Got a vet appointment booked on the 30th Pup has these weird grazes on his leg. The fresh one looks like a normal graze but the other one has little black bits on it which I'm worried about. Any ideas? https://postimg.cc/QVWJJLpV https://postimg.cc/gX1qb4PY

Today my 29 week old puppy had surgery to remove her upper milk canines since they were g wiggly at all and her adult ones had come out. They gave me her teeth back and tell me why are they SO LONG. The root is massive, no wonder they didn't fall off on their own xD I'm amazed a 3,5kg Maltese...

I’m always looking for different things to give my pup to help his teeth. At my vet hospital, they sell the CET Enzymatic chews. I was interested until I noticed they were rawhide. Has anyone used these? They say they’re digestible but I always thought rawhide wasn’t…

My S/O and I have a (~4 years old) Cane Corso / Newfie mix, and she just gave birth to two adorable little pups. The father is a border collie / Aussie Shepard (~5 years old) that is owned by my S/O’s daughter, who is currently renting from us. This happened completely by accident, when we...

Hey friends. Took our three month old puppy to the vet yesterday because she’s been having diarrhea and there was just a bit of blood in some yesterday. They took a stool sample and prescribed her metronidazole and a bland food diet with probiotics. Got the call today that the stool was...

Hello! So we just got an 8 week old golden retriever puppy. We buy her kibble from a store that sells it in kgs in a bag outside of its original package (I know, I am ordering her food online, it’s just for now) they told us it is Royal Canin and N&D. I was just wondering what the feeding guide...

My Labrador loves balls of any kind, but most pet shops sell tennis balls or lookalikes. The issue is that all of them come coated with ‘fluff’. She loves to eat the fluff and we also find it everywhere in the house, where the puppy is allowed to go. Isn’t that fabric dangerous for the puppy...

Background: Our unspayed 1 year old dog won’t eat her food but will occasionally take treats and will be interested in human food sometimes. Things like she used to be obsessed with like bully sticks, yak chews and fish skins are also off the menu not interesting. Occasionally she will eat if...

I know this is a long shot, but I would love some insight. My girl is 13. She is my everything. She has a grade 5 heart murmur, and slight cataracts. The problem I’m having with her is that although I have spent thousands on tests in the last few weeks we cannot figure out why she is having...

I just picked up my pup and she has this spot on her head that looks really dry and like it’s growing. Her previous owner told us it might be a birth mark, but we’re not so sure. Does anyone know what it might be? We’re taking her to the vet later this week. weird spot

I am babysitting and I made a pb&j for the kids. The dogs got ahold of it. There are three of them, all about 60-70lbs. Im so scared that they’re going to die. What do I do?

All of a sudden, for the last few nights, my puppy wakes up at 11 p.m. and won’t go back to sleep. I made a point getting him plenty of exercise to wear him out today, but nope! Like clockwork, he slept from his normal bedtime of 8 p.m. and whine-bark-whine cranks up at 11. He’s standing in his...

I'm sharing this because I want to shed light on what it's like when your puppy is diagnosed with Parvo. Going through this experience has been incredibly stressful, and I have been desperately searching for someone else's story to relate to during this challenging time. I will be including a...

He is fine medically. He used to hold his pee for hours, then sometimes I take him out and half an hour later he pisses again inside the house. He can hold it in his crate for 8 hours without issue. Doesn’t drink an excessive amount of water and I clean with enzymatic cleaner. His brother does...

Hi, everyone! I have a puppy named Bloo. She is a 14 week old labrador/aussie/GSD mix. I feed her 2.5 cups of Eukanuba Puppy Food for Large Breeds per day and one horse scalp chew stick. She gets at least a 15-20 minute walk per day and about half an hour of off-leash playing in the fields...

More info: 4 month old. Puppy in laws have been staying with us for 3 days, they have a large, kind golden, 5 years old. Kimchi the corgi keeps playing rough with the large golden, and has likely swiped him in the face a few times over the last few days. Today after work I noticed his L eye was...

As mentioned above, i have a 7 month boston terrier who is healthy generally and havent seen any issues with him. Recently i noticed his hair has been shedding from certain places a lot more and behind the ears its literally gone. Also has red spots on the inner front left leg. We did go to...

We have had a LONG process with our 8 month old Boston Terrier's GI tract. He started having diarrhea in October. Vet thought it was "garbage gut" because he tried a new treat - six weeks and three vet visits later he was diagnosed with giardia. We switched vets, did two rounds of giardia...

We rescued an Australian Cattle Dog mix (See Bottom of post for her breed breakdown from Embark) and she has been wonderful. We found her on the side of the road at ~12 weeks and she was covered in ticks, like welts everywhere, and several ticks still on her. She had no chip, no collar and...
