Renal Failure kitty
Posted on 2008/09/20 by Jake ChappleCat with previously diagnosed Renal Failure has been doing really good for over a year. Last night she was very lethargic then urinated where she was sleeping and continued to lay there for the rest of the night. What does this mean?

Lethargic Cat
Posted on 2008/09/18 by Susie SparksFor the past two days my indoor/outdoor cat has been acting different. He doesn't want to eat, drink, or go outside. He just wants to lay around. If you pet him on his hind leg he growls and gets up and moves. I can't find a cat bite wound, could this be a bite?

recent vomiting and light blood in diarreah stool
Posted on 2008/09/18 by oscar gomezHello, our 12 week old puppy has had diarrhea for the past three days. We think it started from him eating the some of our other two adult dog's food. We bought some anti-diarrhea liquid which has kaolin and pectin and his stool turned alot more solid and partly white, which is the color of the liquid. We gave him boiled chicken with rice last night and he ate it no problem, but threw it up about 1 1/2 hour later. This morning his diarrhea was back with light blood in it, and he has no appetite. He doesnt't want to eat the chicken and rice. He has been drinking some water and his nose is moist- it was dry last night. Any suggestions before taking him to the vet?

very sick
Posted on 2008/09/11 by Kristin HarrisMy cat has been sick for the past 2 1/2 weeks and she keeps getting worse. She has lost a bunch of weight, she is very weak, and she won't eat. I took her to the vet about 1 week ago and he didn't really know what was wrong with her. He said that her intestines were hard and he gave me some worm medicine just in case that's what is wrong with her. I gave her all the medicine and she has only gotten worse. I have been force feeding her milk so she can get some nourishment but she still won't eat and keeps getting worse. Do you have any idea what might be wrong with her?

Cat will not eat...vet doesn't know why...
Posted on 2008/09/08 by Sherry DanielsWhen I adopted my 12 year old cat, he was obese. He has lost 4.5 lbs, and refuses to eat. There have been several changes in his life in the past six months: new owner and home, packing and moving to another new home. The vet that I took him to found a lump on his thyroid, but can not seem to find a reason why the cat will not eat. Any suggestions?

Help, My dog isnt well, and I need advice, THANK YOU
Posted on 2008/09/05 by UserHello, my German sheppards hasnt been eating the way he should be the last week, and he is having problems going to the bathroom, as in solids. He looks like he is in discomfort, and is starting to walk funny. his stool is small, and I think there might be worms, I actually saw a worm in his stool, but I am not sure if it was there or a visitor later. It looks like he has been digging alot lately outside, I wonder if he ate something from the ground, and now its playing havoc with him. I love my dog, he is 8 and my buddy, but he isnt doing well, and I am divorced and cant afford to take care of him if this is serious, its really killing me to watch him just get more miser ...

Loss of weight
Posted on 2008/08/31 by UserMy dog has began walking with my partner everyday while he works and has now lost a considerable amount of weight. She is now really boney. I would like to know weather her weight loss is from the increased exercise or something else. She has just finished being on heat.

Hypoglycemic Puppy Won't Eat After Nutri-Cal
Posted on 2008/08/30 by Wendy BurtonWe got a 7 week old Yorkie puppy Tuesday. Wednesday she had to be taken to the vet with seizures. They believed it was hypoglycemia, perked her back up and said if she does it again come back. She started it again this morning so I took her back to the vet's office. Again, hypoglycemia. She ate just before we went to bed last night but sometime during the night this all came on. (She ate probably 5 times yesterday.) Food and water are left out so all she has to do is eat. Today they gave me a tube of Nutri-Cal and told me to give it to her every 30 minutes til she eats. That was about 11am, it's now almost 9pm and she still won't eat. Has only taken a sip or two of water ...
