Leo's health
Posted on 2008/09/26 by Brian FranksLeo is gagging with a slight gurggle but producing no vomit. He is also panting heavily. It has been going on for 5 days but is getting worse. Do you have any ideas of what it could be? And what treatment would you suggest?

Hi, I have a 3 week old female pug. She was diagnosed with patent ductus arterious. I was told the only option for her is surgery wich cost about $2,000.00. I was reading about rimadyl and how it can help with pda. Is this an option I can try for my puppy?

Cat Panting and Vomitting
Posted on 2008/09/23 by Jason MartiniThis morning I found my feline crouched over a pool of white/yellow foam that she had just vomitted. She was panting and her eyes were dilated. She had come from the litter box and looked as if she may have lost control of bowels because there was solid stool on the floor trailing to where she stopped to vomit. Worried I rushed her to the animal hospital. By the time she got there the panting had ceased and she looked to be fine. The vet has run blood work and x rays. In the x rays he said the pulmonary arteries were enlarged and this looked to be a case of heartworm disease. (blood work will come back tomorrow) She is very overwieght (21lbs) and has not been losin ...

Have I made my dog sick?
Posted on 2008/09/21 by UserI gave my dog a tiny bit (The size of a thumbnail) of a veggie patty. she has been sick with a staph infection (internal) and has been on antibiotics for a month. She is still losing weight. 9 lbs lost. she has a good appetite but is lethargic and has pale inner eyelids and gums. Vet said her RBC is now 15 and her albumin level is still high. Could that be caused from the bit of the veggie patty?

I have already lost 4 of her siblings due to the same problem. They just start gasping for air and they die,no fever, no cough, no phlegm. What seem to be the problem? I do not want to lose more pups.

Older Dog with a Nasty Cough
Posted on 2008/09/06 by Jackie NelsonHi, my dog has a hacking cough that started last night. The cough is coming from deep in his body, and he keeps almost coughing something up. A friend said he might have a hair ball and that I could administer the same hair ball treatment that you would give to a cat. Is this true? Does this sound like the issue with my dog? He is fine when he is not coughing; he plays and wants to walk; he is eating and drinking, although he may be drinking a bit more than usual. He has not vomited, although it appears as though he is trying to cough something up.
