dog with tremors at restour dog (4yo female neutered Mini Schnauzer) has started having tremors or spasms that only seem to happen when she is resting. they can go on itermittantly for 10-15mins. her regular vet examined her but did not do blood work. he said that some dogs just have tremors and the testing would be painful and invasive to really determine the cause. otherwise she is perfectly healthy and gets a fair amount of exercise. what are your feelings on this and do you have any idea what might cause these tremors? | |
scooting dogHello...My pug (1.5yr female) sits on her rear end and spins around excessively on the carpet...She seems to at times attempt to reach around with her head and bit her butt, but can't get her head around that far...She at times whines when she spins. | |
dog ears not sitting rightIn the last couple of weeks I have noticed that my puppies (3mo male) ears are not laying flat against his head like most dachshunds do and his did previously. The ears now seem to have a wrinkle in them and are more bunched at the back of his head (almost on top of its self). When flattened the ears appear to be of normal size vs. his head but just seem in the last couple of weeks to be more wrinkled on top of themselves. Is this a normal part of his growth cycle and will this even out? | |
Dog losing control of bladderAbout once a year my dog (7yo Standard Poodle female neutered) loses bladder control for a couple of days at a time. If I take her outside every 30 minutes she can avoid an accident but otherwise she wets herself while lying down. During this time she drinks a lot more water than usual. We went to the vet the first time it happened about four years ago and we were told that it was a hormonal problem that usually occurs with spayed females and we should only worry about having it treated if it occurs more than once a month. I'm okay with that answer, but I've noticed that the incontinence problems seem to coincide with a day of heavy physical exertion, such as a very long hike or a day at the lake swimming after sticks and whatnot. She normally gets a decent amount of excersize per day including moderate walks and frisbee throwing. Could her incontinence be related to this increase in physical activity? Should we limit her excersize if it is? If it's just a hormonal issue, why does she have such increased thirst during these periods of incontinence? Is it okay to leave it untreated if it's only occuring about once a year? Just out of curiosity, why does this only happen for a few days at a time and then clear up? If she had a hormonal imbalance wouldn't this be a regularly occuring thing? Thank you. | |
Vomiting dogMy dog (5yo male neutered dachshund) has thrown up a foamy liquid, once yesterday, and twice this morning and twice again this afternoon. No food is mixed with it, and he has a regular appetite. He behaving normally otherwise. Are there other symptoms I should look for? | |
Puppy that diedPlease tell me if we killed our puppy. She became very sick after having her for 4 days. she began vomitting. The vet said to treat her with different things and I took her to him 2 days later. I finally heard she might have parvovirus the day before she died. The place I bought her from says all the puppies are fine, none of them are sick. My question since we have 2 older dogs can they have given her the virus? Can the older dogs be carriers and have passed it on to the puppy? I don't think they have ever had shots for parvovirus. Or could she have come in contact with it where we walked her and became ill that fast? I have never heard of this virus and shouldn't my vet have checked her for it right away when she became ill? One site said to start treatment within 2 hours and we waited 2 days. PLease help I do not understand all this and does this mean I can not get another puppy? The vet did not test so we don't know for sure that is what she died from, he said we could do a tissue sample after she died but I was too upset. thank you. |

Dog with fleas
Last night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click
