Yesterday, I reluctantly had my dog nuetered. I brought him in at 8:30 am and went to pick him up at 5:30pm that afternoon. When they brought him out, he was still somewhat out of it. I even questioned whether he knew me or not. He had been through a lot and I just assumed he would snap out of it later in the night That he just needed more time to recover. The tech, at the last minute of me ready to take him, looked concerned and checked his gums for color then wanted the dr to check him one last time to be sure he was ok before I left. Well, he did and found he was bleeding internally as his gums were white. He told me thank god that the tech noticed this as he...

food poison?
Posted on 2008/01/31 by UserOur neighbor threw some sort of stew/chilli into our yard. Our 10 year old keeshond was able to gulp it down and he threw up three times that night. The next day he lost control of his bowels. Today he is lethargic, tender above his back near his tail, has a yellow discharge from his bowel area and urinary area. Is it food poisoning or something else?

Odd clear fluid
Posted on 2008/02/01 by UserBackground: My 17 yr old cat has been ill for over a year. The vets said a few months ago there was nothing left to do, but make her comfortable. A sonegram from Jan 2007 showed a black mass on her intestine (don't rememberif it was the large one or the small one), but she was too fragil to handle a biopsy. Therefore, the diagnosis was only a guess: Either Lymphoma, OR a bad case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. My question to you relates to an incident yesterday morning: She was having a drink of water and suddenly let out a loud, AWFUL moan, and fell over. While laying on her side, a large GUSH of clear, odorless fluid came pouring out of her butt. I know it was coming...

my cat is sick
Posted on 2008/02/08 by Usermy cat has a fever and ears are hot and drive him crazy. I think there is swelling behind the ears. I started him on a broad band antibiotic. I think it helped his fever but his ears still hurt.

Once again, Marley woke up, stiff, drooling, "foam" bubbles coming out of her mouth. This time she had loss of control of her bowles. The episode lasts about 30 seconds. After the episode, she cries, whimpers, and eats for about 10 minutes. Then she is back to her normal playful self.

Skin COndition
Posted on 2008/02/11 by PrinceMy long haired belgian shepherd has a small (approximately 1/4" around and 1/8" high) knot on her back. It is located on the left side approximately 3" from the centerline and 6 inches forward of her tail. I suspect that it is incidental to flea bites since it came up before I cut her hair and treated for fleas. It has not gone down in about 4 weeks. There is no evidence of it being an infection (no pus or core) but it does seem tender to the touch.

Dragging hind legs
Posted on 2008/02/12 by JeanLately my 12 yr. old 1//2 Lab 1/2 Rott seems to be dragging her back legs when she tries to get up from a laying position. It looks like she can't stand up for a couple of minutes. She has had bad allergies all her life and tries to gnaw on top of her back, therefore she has had to twist herself completely around all of her life. Could the twisting have affected her legs. I feel so bad about her always itching and trying to get to the top of her back, I give her3 benadryl twice a day, it doe's not help. And It kills me to see her drag her legs when she tries to stand. Also she just recently seems to not want her food, she just wants the juice and leave the rest. ...
