Sorry this question is a bit long. Here are the details about our dog: -age 3 male whippet -we've had him since he was 2 years old -former owners got divorced and decided to give him up for adoption -very well trained, obedient, kind -submissive if tested (ie we can put him on his back, take his food, etc) -is not free fed -gets lots of exercise -sleeps on the floor in another room Here is our current issue: -About 2 months ago, our dog was lying on a chair at my parent's house relaxing and my 8 year old cousin went over to pet him. He snapped at her and left a small cut on her cheek. No one saw if she had been bugging him or not so everyone said it wasn't...

Mongrel having seizures
Posted on 2008/05/06 by UserMy dog a mix with a springer and a lab, has these seizure type things that have been getting worse over the past month. We just got him from the SPCA a month ago. He curls up his back and cannot walk. He drools a lot and starts breathing really heavy. He also crys very quietly. And is very disoriented for about 10 minutes. After words he is really tired and loving. I am very worried I am taking him to the vet today.

Hi, Egor is 16 yrs old, and now having seizures? He gets all contorted & stiff for about 30 seconds. Then when he is done, he is totally fine! I thought if you have a seizure you are out of it for at least a little while. He just had a full blood panel done. The vet said to come back in 2 weeks to test for leukemia again, because he had a weak pos.. So I did, and he was cleared. Now I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

lock-jaw like condition in older cat
Posted on 2008/02/13 by ElizabethHi. I am concerned about one of my cats, Sunny. We are unsure of his age, but he was a full-grown cat when he wandered into our lives 5 1/2 years ago. At that time, the vet thought him to be 3-5, and he was already neutered, but obviously had lived on the street for some time. He's had various health problems over the years, but the most recent began New Year's Day (No, no parties here.). At first we would see the following behavior maybe a couple of times a week--but now it's many times, daily. He either wakes up and does this, or yawns and does this, or just suddenly does this: He opens his mouth part way and sort of trembles, like cats do when they...

Has my kitty lost his love for life?
Posted on 2008/06/20 by UserMy loving cat, "Mr. Whiskers", for many months, has not been his active self. I have taken him to several vets wanting to know answers to his progressive symptoms: dragging of left hind leg (if he moves),staggering/falling, walking against walls, head tilt, hiding under the bed, lack of interest in play, lack of eating/urination, little meowing and more moaning, eye infection/lazy right eye, urination trouble (while I hold him) and seizures. Mr. Whiskers's vet placed him on 1/2 pill of Predisone every two days. In addition, I was told just to make him confortable since his demise could be near. Since his last seizure (about a month ago) Mr. Whiskers has...

hello. i was writing to get some advice about what may be wrong with my dog. she has a 7 year old jack russel terrier and was the runt of the litter. she has been diagnosed with a vitamin d deficiency and is taking medicine everyday. she has recently begun losing control of her bladder, constantly having muscle tremmors, has stoppede eating and is considerably losing weight, and her breath is smelling more foulf than normal. she also has been vomiting her food whenever she does eat. what do you think could be the problem? we took her to the vet this past friday and had bloodwork done ad everything came back normally.

sezures making me sad but Rowdy is taking it well
Posted on 2008/09/07 by OdisMy dog is approx 16 y/o. He is part yellow lab and maybe chow or pit,(Vet said part german sheperd and y/lab but I don't see it) He has started having seazures (Falls down, Muscles get stiff, sometimes he cries out, pee's a little sometimes) about once every 3 to 4 weeks. Otherwise he has a good quality of life. #1 Vet said put him down cause of age, but he is still in pretty good shape, (only had conversations with, as he knows Im disabled and on SS and cant afford alot) He also told me it would be expensive to find out what the issue is!! So the main question I have is there something HOMEOPATHIC, or a old wifes tale cure I might try? My dad is telling me to mix a...
