Dog with muscle spasms on legMy dog's (2yo male Italian Greyhound) rear right leg has muscle spasms. The first time was when he was on a walk. He has had them while in bed sleeping also. When he goes downstairs in the morning he usually lifts his back right leg up, I originally thought this was because it is a rounded staircase. At first he cried while having a spasm, now he doesn't seem to care. At first he had the spasm every once in a while, now it is happening everyday and sometimes on multiple occasions during one walk. When he has them now he just continues on his walk, just on three legs. Most of the time he seems to be just fine. He can run a high speeds and doesn't seem to be in any pain. What does this sound like? | |
Puppy with turned eyeI have purchased a puppy (female English bulldog) from a breeder I found online that lives about 5 hours from me. I haven't received the puppy yet because she is only 5.5 weeks old - I will be getting her at 8 weeks. I have been receiving pictures of the puppy from the breeders and every picture I've received the puppy's left eye is looking towards the far left. Even when it appears as if she is looking straight ahead her left eye is to the far left. It seems to me that she may have a lazy left eye. I have asked the breeder about this but haven't heard back yet. If it's true that she has a lazy eye would you recommend that we still purchase her? What can you tell me about pets having lazy eyes? How will this effect her health & personality? We visited her several weeks ago and didn't notice her eye because she was sleeping about 95% of the time. Her brothers and sisters were more active and in pictures I've seen of the other pups they always seem more active and lively. The dog we are getting always looks sad in her pictures. Is this a sign that something is wrong? PLease advise. I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you so much. | |
Dog with lump under skinThis dog (2.5 yo female neutered hound mix) has recently been picking fights with one of my other dogs, and sustaining minor injuries. While looking her over after one of these altercations, we discovered a hard knot under the skin of her upper chest. I would say it is about 3 or so inches across, and it moves with her skin. There was a small wound from a recent fight in that same general area, but it was only about as big around as a dime, if that. It does not seem to be affecting her behavior at all, and it doesn't hurt her to press on it or move it around. Any idea what this could be, and what I should do about it? | |
Dog with intermittent diarrheaFor two days my dog (7yo female neutered mini schnauzer) has been having diarrhea thats real liquidy, dark brown with some jelly stuff. During the day she seems fine but at night and early in the morning she is doing this. | |
Dog thunder phobiaGrover (4yo male neutered Labrador) is extremely scared of thunder, lightening and rain. He has what we call anxiety attacks. His heart rate shoots up, he won't stop panting, slobbers all over the place and emits an oder. What can we do for him? | |
Puppy with growing painsMy puppy (6mo male Lab/Shepheard mix) has growing pains (vet says). Sore joints in front & back legs. Vet has given shots, no help. Any ideas what to do. Heard change of diet might help - change to what food??? Poor pup limps badly after running. |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
