• Need immediate help with senior cat

  Posted on 2009/01/06 by User

  I have a 17 year old cat who has shown signs of aging for the past year or so. Last year I had blood work done after he lost a lot of weight and had increased thirst and hunger. All came back normal. Two weeks ago, my cats stomach appeared bloated significantly. I thought it was either constipation or fluid. When I brought him to the vet for an emergency visit, it was confirmed by xray that it is fluid in his abdomen. The problem is that the cause if not known. The vet thinks it could be cancer or kidney disease, but has ruled out heart problems and infectious diseases as my cats remain indoors. I could get an ultrasound done to determine the cause but I don't want to...

• vet can't find a dx

  Posted on 2009/01/26 by Shelly

  Our golden has not been himself for about 4 months. He initially started with very bad breath, and lethargy, and fever. I took him to the vet and they sedated him to check his teeth, and saw nothing negative. He was put on antibiotics, and Pepcid. He started getting diarriha so they told me to stop the Pepcid. He got better, but once the antibiotics stopped the symptoms returned. The vet did an xray of the stomach, again negative. He was put on a stronger dose of antibiotics. Again, symptoms returned after he was finished with meds. Vet did stool sample for worms, and again negative, antibiotics were again prescribed but for longer duration. Again, symptoms...

• any relief with pulmonary fibrosis??

  Posted on 2009/02/10 by User

  My dog (other wise healthy 15 yr old cocker spaniel) has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. Since diagnosis she has been started on 5 mg prednisone and flovent however without relief after at least 4-6 wks. Is there possibly any other meds or suggestions that my give her some relief? Has anyone ever put their dog on home O2?? I have worked with pulmonary patients and cant help but think of helping her with a little portable tank in a backpack. I know it sounds crazy but I cant stand the thought of putting to sleep an otherwise healthy active dog. She is eating and drinking normally and has not given the "sign" that she is "ready to go"...

• I need a question answered about my horse!!

  Posted on 2009/02/18 by User

  Well, Talker's dam(mom) is foundered, and very obese. My farrier said/says that if I feed Talker anymore than 4 flakes (possibly 5 if for riding) & feed her daily grain without riding her, she can possibly founder since she is a Kiger Mustang and that breed usually doesn't live on much in the wild, thier body type(s) can't handle all the food. Is this true, and what should I do to keep her fit & healthy?? I plan on showing her in halter this year, and need supplements, what supplements should I use for her coat & muscle without her foundering. Thanks, ~Journey

• Help is it an allergy?

  Posted on 2009/03/17 by Alexandria

  Hi, my name is Alexandria and I am 14 years old. I have a cat named Reeses, and he has been acting wierd lately. He eats more, has gained weight, pulls his fur out and grooms it more than often by his lower back right before his tail. He has occasional diarrhea, scratches more than usual, goes to the bathroom in places like my bed or the floor (which he has never done before), and he is about 3 1/2 years old and between 16 and 18 pounds. My cat also meows non-stop. When you touch his back where he pulls his fur out, he starts to lick or bite somthing, almost like a spasim. Is he allergic to somthing? I need to know because right now we can't afford a vet.
