Just curious, I got a chocolate lab mix a month ago or so. I noticed right away she was about 15-20 pounds overweight. After giving her her second bath I noticed she is missing hair on her side and toward her hind quarters. Female will be 2 in April and thoughts?

My dog Lizzy is a Sharpei/bassett mix. She is 5 years old and overweight. She's had trouble recently being able to jump up on the bed and getting up the back steps. I've put her on weight control dog food. Yesterday we took a short walk (about a mile) and I could tell she was having a hard time at the end. Last night and this morning she could barely stand up and her hind legs were shaking. Could it be something else is the problem or simply she is not in good shape?

My dog wont stop panting and is very lethargic:(
Posted on 2008/06/14 by LoriMy dog is very lethargic and panting a lot. We went to the vet yesterday and they took blood, urine, etc...., but she seems to have gotten worse. I took her temperature today and it is 101.3...normal. She is just very out of it, and seems to be depressed. Also the panting and breathing heavily is bad. She's a golden retriever, 7 years old, on thyroid medication(soloxine), has allergies(takes an antihistamine daily too), and tends to have a very sensitive belly. She may also be having an increase in the number of times she is urinating. Or it just may be because of the hot weather, and I am giving her a lot more water daily. I don't know if I should take her to...

Distended tummy and diarrhea
Posted on 2008/01/14 by BrittniMy cat's tummy has been bulged and she occasionaly has diarria. I have given her worm medicine and I haven't noticed anything different. Is it worms? Or could it be something else?

My cat is 5 1/2 years old. Over the last several days, she has been vomiting 4 times a day. Her food has not changed, though we did change the brand of litter last week. The vomit is mostly watery with few signs of food digested. In addition, she is slightly overweight since she is an indoor cat. She also has a strange habit of not enjoying her food if the kibbles are crumbs. Should we be very concerned and take her to a vet immediately?

Posted on 2008/02/10 by MeganKashmir eats snow to the point of shivering and mild convulsions. Any recommendations for controlling this. She won't stop unless I hold her head out of the snow. I'm considering a muzzel. Will this help?
