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 EllenShe 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

My 14 year old cat has had for 2 weeks now a mushy stool and then a harder more constipated stool all in the same day and mostly the poop will stay in there. We had to help him get it out just now. His rectum is so red and he hurts. Does this sound like Irritable Bowel and if so is it necessary to have a scope and biopsy done? Or can we just try to change his diet? He just had blood work and x rays done a couple of days ago and all was well.

Cat question
Posted on 2008/02/10 by UserMy cat is 21 years old. She has a thryroid problem and we give her methinezole 5mg. I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly. I changed her litter box 4 days ago and she has only had one bowel movement and it looks like a couple of urine spots are in the box. She will not come out of her litter box and meows/crys when I pick her up. She has been eating and drinking normally. She had a bladder infection about 4 months ago. Could this be another bladder infection or could her body be shutting down from old age? Any suggestions?
