Dog losing weight and stumbling
Our dog was eating fine until a couple of weeks ago. Also even thought he has been eating normal he has been losing weight and his ribs are showing. He has trouble with his balance and walking, its not bad but he stumbles now and then. I started feeding him scrambled eggs which seems to be the only thing he eats. He had a little roast beef last night, but doesn't seem interested in his dog food. I have dry food out for him but he isn't eating much, and he won't eat his wet food which he use to love. He is still drinking water. He is still alert and doesn't seem in pain, he just is acting real old. What should we do? Can the Vet help? |

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
