dog sore all over with difficulty getting up
My dog (11yo Lab/Dalmatian mix, male neutered) lately is not eating, seems very sore (more than usual as he has a bit of arthritus), having trouble getting up, very lethargic and yesterday and day before we found him down by the creek in the rain as if he was trying to kill himself. We have checked him for ticks. He has had skin cancers cut out in the past but we didnt get a biopsy to see if it were cancer. He is still drinking a bit of water but I don't think he has done a poo for a few days. He has had no food for 3 days now. I want to take him to the vet but he is quite big and hard to get into the car. He is very miserable but not yelping in pain although he probably is. |

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?
