Dog with shallow breathingRusty has short shallow breathing and is lethargic. He had heartworms when we rescued him and congestive heart failure. He has been on Lasix and Enacard for 6 years and has done well until this point. He recently had orthepedic surgery to repair his left shoulder (broken). The Louisiana Vet School repaired the shoulder with a plate. We took him to the emergency vet last night his temp was normal his heart and lungs looked good - he did have otitis externa and excessive tearing in his eyes which is now being treated. He may be constipated as well as the x-rays indicated feces in the bowel, but he only used the bathroom this morning and not very much. He did eat a very little bit last night. The vet checked his leg because he was limping a little (on and off), but she did not feel anything unusual - she gave him Rimadyl for pain, but he never moved when she was checking the leg so I don't know if he is in pain. She did say that she saw something unusual on the x-ray on or near his liver. She said it could simply be a nodule or it could be cancer. Is there anything that the vet may have overlooked last night? I love this dog and I want to do what I can to help him - he is like my child. He is not himself, a typical hyper terrier and he seemed to go down overnight - please help! | |
Dog with red blisters on lipsWithin the last three days or so I've noticed that my dogs lips that are normally black are turning pink. They have also become raw and red like almost blisters in small spots. What could that be? How do I treat it? | |
Stains on dog furMy 10 month old English bulldog has begun to develop reddish/brown stains around his mouth area, mostly under his chin. In addition, there are reddish, brown stains underneath him as well, near the belly button area and the hind leg area. Also, I find that his discharge from the eye area are also light brown in color. He takes vitamins (Canine red cell) every day....this is red in color. Could this be causing the staining? If not, do you have any idea what could be doing this? How can I get rid of it? (the staining is mainly on the white portion of his fur) | |
Overweight dogMy 8yo shihtzu should weigh 8kgs(she has a small frame) but weighs 13.5kgs. She limps so I have been giving her Winston's Joint Formula for 3 months. It hurts her to exercise and she acts hungry all the time. I need suggestions on helping her to lose the excess weight. She doesn't have any other health problems that I know of. | |
Dog ingesting drain cleanerMy dog ingested a small amount of diluted drain cleaner that had overflowed from the toilet. He shows no signs of being ill, but I am just concerned and nervous. What should I do? | |
Dog licking paws constantlyFor approx. 4 months my 2yo male Jack Russell dog has been constantly licking and biting all four paws, leaving them red, irritated and hairless. She has seen two vets, one diagnosing an allergy the other a fungus. No treatment has had any affect. What can this be and how is it treated? |

Female cat with bloody discharge from vagina
Our (1yo female DSH) neutered cat (neutered prior to our ownership) has had intermittent small volume bloody discharge from her vagina for the last 3 months. On exam her vulva had an ulcerated area and our veternarian is planning an exam under anesthesia later this week. She has no weight loss, a healthy appetite, and has had no change in activity. She is the only animal in our home. What do you believe this could be?
