What should I do for my dog that has broken his tail and is chewing it off? We are unable to get to the vet at the time. He has not been pooping since he has broken his tail.

Dog Chews Leg
Posted on 2008/10/17 by Danielle RussellI have a 10 year old Brittany Spaniel and he has been licking his right hind leg since August. We have gone to the vet and was given bitter apple (he licked it off), Prednisone (no help) and even wrapped his leg with gauze and covered it with deodorant to deter him from licking. Nothing works. He has now licked a sore on his leg. The vet says that he does this for similar reasons humans bite their nails. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid he's going to lick his leg off. Thank you for your time.

My cat needs help
Posted on 2008/10/10 by UserMy cat Levi is 8 years old, we got her when we moved into our new house, she was 6 months old when we did. She was already nuetered. Now, she won't drink/eat as often, and whenever I used to brush her she used to purr and give off nice loving feelings, but now when I do, she gives off a quit meow, and doesn't like it as much. She also doesn't move around alot. This started 2 days ago. close to sometime in july, my cat got into a fight with another cat, and we hat to take her to a vet, and they gave her a cast on her hind right paw. She healed, and I don't think this has anything to do with it. And my other cat, Cleo, died 2 days before sept. 4th, the start of my new schoo ...

reaction to flea/tick treatment
Posted on 2008/10/05 by UserI treated my two dogs with Sergeant's Gold flea and tick sqeeze-on treatment. Both dogs showed signs of sensitivity so I wahed the treatment with mild soap and water as advised on the packaging. One dog is fine. The other has scratched her neck/shoulder area so much that she has two bld spots. The larger is weeping and irritated. What can I put on the areas that will soothe the skin so it wll heal?

Diagnosis
Posted on 2008/10/03 by Christina ForehandWe just moved into a new place because when living with my in laws, their cats would attack our cat, so we had to keep him locked up. Since moving, he was a lot happier, at first, more social, and his injuries finally started healing up. He had had non cancerous lumps, which after being asperated just showed inflammed tissue. Now, however, he has started becoming reclusive, he's drooling excessively, and doesn't appear to be eating or drinking. Also he cries a lot, he only used to meow if you picked him up, now he wanders around crying when he comes out from hiding. We adopted him two playmates because he is a social cat normally, and he liked the kittens at first, now he ...

Please help my kitten
Posted on 2008/10/01 by Laura RileyMy kitten has small bugs running all over him. The first one crawled out of his eye. The rest are under the fur. He hasnt been outside or in contact with any other animals other this him mum which he left 3 months ago. We have tried washing him but the bugs still remain. They dont jump or bite us and are too big to be fleas. They are the size of the mother human headlice. Most are brown with long shiny bodies. Some have a bigger bum and are more of a yellow colour. My kitten is getting very lathargic and his gums are turning pale. Can you help me?

my pet was injuried at by the groomer
Posted on 2008/09/25 by DUSTIN MCFARLANDI took my dog into Petco, to be groomed yesterday morning. When we pick them up everything appeared fine, until closer inspection. I noticed my dogs eye was weeping a lot on one side, I called the groomer and she new which eye it was and said it happening a home? Later in the conversion she asked if was bleeding... I thought that was strange. I few hours later I realize he was excessively pawing his eye, thats when i know it happening at the groomers. Because I would have noticed it, he would have been doing it earlier at home. Upon closer in spection I noticed his brow and eye lid area is cut or scratched, I cant tell because of the crusting and weeping arounded the are ...

Now what do i do?
Posted on 2008/09/24 by UserI suppose this is pretty odd. My 5 month old lab got into the chicken pen two days ago. He killed 3 chickens and hurt two others. Of those, one had a puncture wound on its neck and was exhibiting signs of shock. After wound cleaning I applied Neosporin, caged her seperate from other hens in quiet warm place and hoped for the best. So far she is doing well and eating drinking etc. She is getting antibiotics through her water. The other chicken, well I guess this is weird. She had a gaping 2 inch long wound in the back of her neck fully exposing her neck muscles. Despite the significant damage, she was remarkable alert and responsive. I made the choice that I could not j ...
