i think my friends dog is dying. its lost most of its hair and the first layer of its skin in a lot of places. hes covered in scabs and raw skin. hes really sick and doesnt want to eat and hes just laying there and even when he puts his head up he keeps his eyes closed. hes in a lot of pain. and he starts heaving and breathing heavy and i think its death rattles. what can we do? its the middle of the night and we cant even go to a pet hospital because they require a $500 deposit and we dont have it. what can i do?

My dog has a less than 2 minute siezure once every other month approximately. Would you recommend anticonvulsive therapy at this point?

My 12 1/2 year old lab/sharpei mix has started having seizures. She has had 4 in two days. I took her to my vet and they did blood work that came back negative for any issue. The vet thinks that the seizures could be caused by a tumor that is affecting her central nervous system. I don't want to put her through the process of an MRI -- she's already "freaked out" enough. Can you give me a second opinion? I'm really at a loss as to what to do. 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...

Dog having seizures

My dog is having seizers more and more lasting longer itching throwing up every time she eats. Her vet wants to run a bunch of tests before he puts her on the seizure medication. Is this the right plan?

dog having seizures
Posted on 2008/04/14 by UserHi, my dog is a chihuahua/palmeranian and is 14 (non dog years) old. She had asthma her whole life, but now it seems to be worse. She is always making hacking noise, and looks like she hacking something up but nothing comes out. And just recently in the past 2 months or so, shes been getting what im guessing are seizures. When she gets excited about something, she starts like loosing her balance then falls over. She then arches her back and kicks her legs a little while breathing heavy. After like a minute or so she sits up and just sits there. I know shes pretty old and probally wont live much longer but is there anything I can do?

Is she in pain or suffering
Posted on 2008/06/05 by BrendaMy 7 year old shih tzu started having seizures on Christmas eve. She is on phenobarbitol for them. The vet I saw said the most likely cause is a brain tumor. The last few days she is drinking a lot more than usual. She is also utinating and having frequent bowel movements.I had her out twice this morning. I had to go out and she urinated on the floor. This is highly unusual for her. It is occuring more often. My suspision is kidney failure. My question is. Is she suffering? She doesn't show signs of pain but is getting a little crabbier. She normally has a great disposition. Just a little spoiled. She has now started panting when she needs to go out. This she has never...
