I have an eleven year old Beagle that has had disc (spine) problems in past. Left dog overnite with someone and believed person "yanked" dog by collar while walking. When we picked him up he kept his head down and could not push open doors with snout without yelping in pain. We had some prednisone tabs and began treament as before.(About 1 year 6months since rear spine problem) . We are in the process of weening him off, 1/2 tab every OTHER day, and now he wakes up in the middle of the night yelping in pain and cannot use his left front leg, limps badly for about 5-10 minutes.We have to give him pain meds also to get him to sleep. Called local vet and he says...

7 month old kitten will not run or play after neutering
Posted on 2007/11/27 by LouiseThree weeks post-neuter, 7 month kitten that was once a candidate for ADHD, has not returned to play activity with brother house cat. Almost limping at times. Would there be any metatastic pain to back extremities? Or specific time frame of lethargic behavior?

Not Able to Stand
Posted on 2007/11/28 by RosaMy pet is very weak and can not stand, please help! About 2 1/2 weeks ago he got into some expired food and vomited for 3 days, I gave him a 4 day dewormer and the vomiting stopped but had constipation and refused to eat. The vet gave him Metronizadazole 250Mg/day. I have been giving it for the past 2 days and there is no more constipation but having to force feed (no apetite) and tonight after coming home from a 30min. walk since 8pm he is not able to stand and laying on his side. Could this be caused by the medication? Is there anything over the counter I may be able to give him? I have to work and I am not able to take him to the vet 'till Friday, Please help!

Can't get up or stand well on slick floors
Posted on 2007/12/20 by AlLucy has been deteriorating in this respect for some time. When I mentioned it to her Vet last, he didn't comment and I neglected to followup. She has been getting progressively worse for about a year. The onset was a difficulty sitting still. when sitting, her front feet would slowly slide out in front of her. Then she began having trouble moving quickly on the tile floors. Her back legs would slide out from under her and she would go down on her hips. Lately she has trouble getting up off her bed when her front feet are on the tile. She has either become incontinent, or just can't get up to go, so she soils her bed every day or so. She works at lying down,...

Guidance needed on whether to go for MRI or not
Posted on 2008/01/03 by Mary AnnFirst let me say I know you can not tell me what to do and you haven't seen my dog, I have a 10 y.o American Bulldog, he awoke yesterday with right sided face drooping /eye, he is walking on his knuckles of hind legs and having trouble with balance,he seems to have no control over his hind legs, is lethargic, laying around, no appetite, he was healthy one day (except for allergies) and woke up to this the next. We took him to the vet the same day and left with pretty much no answers, their suggestion of course is to seek a neurologist ( 2 hrs away is closest) MRI etc., the cost of these things is enormous so we are weighing his chances of actually getting better, by this...

Yesterday, I reluctantly had my dog nuetered. I brought him in at 8:30 am and went to pick him up at 5:30pm that afternoon. When they brought him out, he was still somewhat out of it. I even questioned whether he knew me or not. He had been through a lot and I just assumed he would snap out of it later in the night That he just needed more time to recover. The tech, at the last minute of me ready to take him, looked concerned and checked his gums for color then wanted the dr to check him one last time to be sure he was ok before I left. Well, he did and found he was bleeding internally as his gums were white. He told me thank god that the tech noticed this as he...

Odd clear fluid
Posted on 2008/02/01 by UserBackground: My 17 yr old cat has been ill for over a year. The vets said a few months ago there was nothing left to do, but make her comfortable. A sonegram from Jan 2007 showed a black mass on her intestine (don't rememberif it was the large one or the small one), but she was too fragil to handle a biopsy. Therefore, the diagnosis was only a guess: Either Lymphoma, OR a bad case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. My question to you relates to an incident yesterday morning: She was having a drink of water and suddenly let out a loud, AWFUL moan, and fell over. While laying on her side, a large GUSH of clear, odorless fluid came pouring out of her butt. I know it was coming...
