  I really hope you can help with this. On thursday we took our dogs to be neutered, one was absolutely fine no problem. My dog, Monkey, has changed completely - he was biting at his stitches at the vet so they gave him a collar - which caused him stress so we took it off. Monkey is just over 6 months and a shih tzu, he used to be off a nervous disposition but through walks and socialisation he seemed a lot more like his outgoing brother who we also own. Monkey apparently had both testicles moved so his was to be the simple straightforward operation. Friday morning we asked for some painkillers as he seemed to be in pain. Anyway in spite of these painkillers...

• Not weight bearing on hind leg

  Posted on 2007/12/24 by Jane

  We'd been out in the field as usual and Pippa was racing around. When we got back to our yard she diappeared for a minute but came back when we called her lloking a bit sheepish. She often does this so wasn't worried. Brought her in and dried her feet as normal then my husband said she wasn't weight bearing at all on her right hind leg. I have checked her paw, flexed it and bent it, she doesn't cry but is looking very sorry for herself. Please help it is Xmas Eve and obviously we will get the vet if necessary but would prefer not to disturb them at Xmas if it is something we can deal with.

• Swollen Scrotum and Strange Red Spot

  Posted on 2008/01/08 by Karen

  My dog was neutered five days ago. Yesterday his scrotum became very swollen and there is a large (larger than a quarter) red blotch on one side of his penis and onto his belly area. His lymph gland is swollen on that side as well. I took him to the vet immediately and they said it was normal--that he licked himself or was getting too much exercise. He has been monitored 24/7 but might have licked himself at night briefly without me knowing or infected it when he decided to sit on a pile of dirt in my yard two days after surgery rather than pee. He didn't have a fever and his heart rate was normal. The vet put him on antibiotics and pain killers and sent us on our...

• Favoring a paw

  Posted on 2008/01/29 by Ellen

  She is favoring her front paw and it is hot to the touch and we think we see possibly a bug bite. She is a bit lethargic and uncomfortable and is not acting like herself. We gave her an over the counter clear benedryl...is there anything else that we should be looking for
