My bassett has been sick for about a week. Her symptoms started out as listlessness, loss of appetite, and then progressed to bloody diaharrea and shaking. She drinks water and pees all the time. I have been giving her burger and rice to eat which she will eat. Her stools then turned tarry and then today they seemed to be kind of green. She isn't herself and still shakes and wont leave my side. What could she have?

Very Sick Dog
Posted on 2008/10/12 by Kelli -
Tinkerbell is an older dog, but likes to play and have fun. However, lately she has been having trouble walking and sometimes will just fall down for no reason. She also will have times where for several days she will not get up because it appears she is in pain. It will subside, and everything appears to be normal. During this time, her legs are stiff and massaging her lower back and giving her baby aspirin seems to help a lot. She also has constantly goopy eyes and she sneezes and hacks quite frequently (unrelated to latter condition). What could be wrong? We feel bad for her, but being she is so old, we wonder what we can do for her.

Advice on what to do
Posted on 2008/10/20 by UserI have a 9 year old Male Boxer. I've started noticing that he has tumors growing in various places on his body. Some are internal and are some are external such as one growing between the pads of his paw. He also has had a couple episodes of falling over and kind of seizing and having labored breathing and sometimes stops breathing for like 15 seconds maybe more. Does it sound like it's going to be an expensive problem if it's treatable? If so, we don't have a lot of money and would it be best to have him put to sleep instead of living with these growths and "seizure" like episodes? I can't stand to see animals suffer and I already feel guilty for not being...

I have a cat that is almost 13 years old and she has been breathing funny for a long time. I mentioned this to my vet back in the summer and she thought maybe it was because it was hot. She is still breathing hard and I took her in to the vet and they thought she might have asthma. Gave me some prednisolone tablets for her but she got diarhea so I stopped them. She is losing weight I think but still eating, not coughing or sneezing. Not as active as she used to be. Talked to the vet about cutting the pill in half and trying again. Is there some way to tell if she has something else. Should I ash about getting a blood test or x-ray etc. The vet did mention that...

Is my cat suffering?
Posted on 2009/01/10 by MaryI have a cat that is about 13. For several months now he has been going down hill. First it started with him losing a lot of weight. He had a little bit of diarrhea The vet did blood work and everything looked fine but tried an antibiotic and anti parasite drugs. That didn't work and so the vet tried a steroid. Still no results and now the diarrhea is worse and he is no longer making it to the litter box. I cannot afford ultra sound and i feel badly but i can see my cat suffering and he no longer cleans him self and I love him but he smells badly and I wont let him sleep with me anymore in my bed. I feel guilty but I am also frustrated having to clean up his loose...

Cat sudden weight loss and lack of appetite
Posted on 2009/01/31 by UserHello, our cat had renal failure last August, we took "Teddy" to a animal hospital and they gave him tests and lactate ringers solution to get rehydrated. All the levels came back to just about normal. This past week, my wife noticed Teddy getting dehydrated again so she took him to the vet and they gave him more fluid and additional blood work. When she brought him home, Teddy was very alert and active. Now, he has not eaten for the last few days as we continue to give him the ringers fluid. The vet put potassium fluid in the bag for preventative reasons due to a low/normal range of 3.7. We have given him 2.5 mgs of pepsid twice a day, but still no appetite....

Response to original doctor's reply.
Posted on 2009/02/01 by UserTeddy's urinary tract is fine along with no hyperthyroidism. He ate very well after coming back home. His weight stabilized and even gained some. All his values have been brought into range except our vet was concerned about his 3.7 rating in potassium, thus the fluid injection into the ringers bag plus he sent us home with some powder which we give him mixed with water. Thank you very much for your quick response to our first letter/question. Thank you again.
