• Not weight bearing on hind leg

  Posted on 2007/12/24 by Jane

  We'd been out in the field as usual and Pippa was racing around. When we got back to our yard she diappeared for a minute but came back when we called her lloking a bit sheepish. She often does this so wasn't worried. Brought her in and dried her feet as normal then my husband said she wasn't weight bearing at all on her right hind leg. I have checked her paw, flexed it and bent it, she doesn't cry but is looking very sorry for herself. Please help it is Xmas Eve and obviously we will get the vet if necessary but would prefer not to disturb them at Xmas if it is something we can deal with.

• Bathroom Yelping

  Posted on 2008/02/13 by User

  HI. I have a springer spaniel border collie cross who is 14mo's old. He is an outside dog. 6 days ago when I got home from work I noticed he had been bleeding from the back end. He won't let us lift his tail and he is very tender by his tailbone. He tries to bite us if we lift his tail. There seems to be no evidence of getting hit or anything. He seems real sheepish towards us now too. Anytime he tries to go to the bathroom he cries and yelps. Any advice or suggestions on what this could be? His appetite is fine. He's not the same dog anymore, not sure what happened. He used to be excited when he'd see us but now he just wants to lay around. Thanks, Cheryl

• Too many symptoms

  Posted on 2008/03/17 by Danielle

  My 6year old baby (Chiefers) hasn't been doing well since I left home. My mother called after she took him into a vet - the Doctor wasn't in so he saw the intern. He came back with these symptoms.. Slightly enlarged heart and liver, extremely high blood count, high enzyme, spine problem, he lost 20% of his body mass, he wont eat only drinks water but it doesn't seem like he swallows it, hes running into walls and can't clear a door-way, and the x-rays showed a spot in his stomach. But the intern knew NOTHING. I'm in Alaska, he's in California.. He's NEVER had a health problem and all of this happens at once, this isn't a dog, he's my baby boy. I haven't the slightest...

• constant licking

  Posted on 2008/03/21 by User

  sidney has been having an on and off problem with her leg for a year. She licks it all the time in the same spot in the "arm pit" of her light leg. She is some times lame and then it goes away. We had a lump removed and she was OK for a month but now it fills with fluid and she bites/licks it open again. We have put a cone collar on her for 4 weeks and she just starts licking it again when we take it off. We have given her antibiotics three times for infection. What is it???
