  • Bloated Beagle

    Posted on 2007/12/24 by olson

    Our dog got loose this past Saturday and must have ate something. His stomach is bloaded and has vomitted once, approximately 2 hours after he ate on Sunday. He is lethargic and having a hard time holding himself up. He asks to go out, but produces nothing. You're thoughts!

  • Cat refuses food and water

    Posted on 2008/01/31 by diana

    15, refusing food & occasionally accepting water. (water must be fresh & brought to her) Recently had a few weeks of severe diarrhea. She remained hydrated, active and happy. Then she pooped a few times and now has been dropping weight for a few weeks. Minimal poop (minimal intake) and limited urination (ditto) She just vomited the last bit of water she drank, 15 minutes ago. My quandary: I don't want big medical interventions. I want her to be without pain and I want a peaceful, comfortable ending, if that is what's happening... (her temperament has not changed, sleeping a lot)

  • Avocado ingestion

    Posted on 2008/02/02 by User

    My Golden Retriever got a hold of a sandwich with avocado slices at lunch and now (6 hours later) she is refusing dinner. She has appeared to be trying to vomit. How concerned should I be at this time?

  • No Longer eating

    Posted on 2008/02/03 by Holli

    Iiah is old and has been diagnosed with possible bladder carcinoma, arthritis, and cataracs. She has gone down hill quickly since Christmas and is no longer eating. This is very concerning because it is her favorite thing to do. I have tried canned food and nothing. Any suggestions. Also, she is in a great amount of pain in her neck and back from arthritis. Is there any pain releiver that is safe?
