  Posted on 2008/04/19 by User

  My dog is taking enalapril for his heart, a bronchodilator theo-dur, previcox for his arthritis & optimmune to produce tears for his eyes. His health has been declinging in the past year. In the past 6 mos, he only gets up to go outside & to eat. Which I contribute to loss of stability in his hind legs. I recently made a ramp to assist him in going outside which still required assistance by a family member. He's been vomiting off & on lately. Other than going outside to the bathroom & eating, he no longer mobile. This morning I went to assist him to go outside & noticed he had vomited & urinated on his area of the rug.

• Sick for 3 days

  Posted on 2008/06/15 by User

  My dog has been vomiting for 3 days now and I just gave him Cephalexin but I have a medicine called Metociopramide which my vet said is for vomiting but I am not sure if I should give him that also. My dog has not eaten anything different and for the last 3 days he has not eaten anything at all. Nothing is coming up in his vomit except a water substance there is no blood or food so I am not sure what to do

• very sick should I have him put to sleep?

  Posted on 2008/08/14 by Karie

  My 12 yr old sweet ol boy has been feeling really bad, he is lethargic, w0n't sit, only lies on his side. won't walk, eat (only selective foods like a hotdog or a piece of chicken etc.)His bones are starting to show. He has a leaky discharge from his private and the same from his eyes (greenish), It's been a week now and he is no better. He's not throwing up and doesn't seem to be hurting just miserable (but i DON'T KNOW)We do not have the money to take to the vet and I know he is old, I just want to make sure he is not suffering. What should I do? I have been giving him 1 aspirin 2 times a day to help.

• Cat Limping

  Posted on 2009/01/27 by User

  I came home from work today and my cat was limping and holding up his left paw. He does not have any claws. I checked his paw and I don't see any problem (no swelling, cuts, etc). I touched the joint midway on his leg and he slightly cried. He is very active around the house. Do you think he sprained his leg or should he be seen?

• Injury to front paw (pad)

  Posted on 2009/02/03 by User

  My dog tore a dime sized piece off the pad on his right front paw. Will this heal over time without vet treatment? What is the best thing I can for him to speed up healing? Thank you.
