Dog with watery eye
Posted on 2008/03/10 by UserMy 6 year old black lab is sick. She has one eye that waters continuously. The light bothers it and she won't let me touch it. She also has blood in her mucus. She has so much mucus that she is constantly snorting it and licking it off her nose. She sleeps all day and doesn't excited about anything anymore. She is losing weight and doesn't eat much. This has been going on for a month and the vet doesn't know what it is. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.

puppy failing
Posted on 2008/03/13 by UserI have a 3 month old chihuahua puppy that I adopted 2 weeks ago from a rescue shelter. He was great for the first few days and then started losing weight. I took him back to ask her for her advice and she sent him home with albon and amoxicillin and vitamins and asked me to keep her informed about him. I took him to the vet 2 days later and the vet told me to take him off the antibiotics and put him on a stronger one, to keep giving him the vitamins and Pedialyte as well. he''s also on hills science diet which I''ve been mixing with a little water and feeding with a syringe. He''s not eating or drinking on his own; everything he gets is with a syringe. He''ll walk a...

Too many symptoms
Posted on 2008/03/17 by DanielleMy 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...

Persian with urinary blockage
Posted on 2008/03/27 by Usermy persian male cat who is 5 years old had a urinary blockage and i had to take him to a emergency vet hospital last night who put in a cathater to remove particles. He was clear after the 2nd flush and they told me that they recommend a fluid treatment but I had already spent way too much and basically took him home to take care of him. They removed the catheter the next morning and gave me some canon royal to feed him and told me to put water out all over the house. So when we got home he peed alittle and then ate a tiny bit of the wet food but has barely drank any water. He's very upset and hasn't been trying to get any attention. He also looks a bit tired. So what...

rectal bleeding
Posted on 2008/03/28 by PaulaOur 6 month old pit/lab puppy was energetic and acting normal two days ago. I gave her a biscuit (it's a new bag) and two or three hours later she was throwing up. She became listless and completely uninterested in food right away. This came on very suddenly. Now she's having not just bloody diarrhea, but twice so far she has lost at least a half cup of blood, we think from her rectum. What can cause this?

Lethargic and Inappetant dog
Posted on 2008/04/01 by Usermy dog is all of a sudden acting very lethargic and won't eat. She is staying at my grandmothers house and we've been out of town, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
