My dog is 14 and has a spinal condition for which she's been on anti-inflammatories for some time. Suddenly this morning, she really struggled to stand up and only managed to hobble a few steps before falling back down. Her legs have been weak for some time, but she's been mobile and if anything, I...

My English springer spaniel loves to sit on my lap in an upright pose with her head on my shoulder to watch TV . The problem that this often results in a smelly patch where her butt has rested,she gets her anal sac's emptied when she gets groomed, and shows no other obvious signs,scooting etc. but...

Hi All, My bitch was vaccinated last year against rabies shots and the shot is good for 3 years. Today, we noticed that she had some fresh scratches on her hind right leg. No idea where she got it from, we keep her in sight (except for the little while she jumps over the fence unnoticed and goes...

My dog has been on antibiotics for for 5 days now... vet thinks its a uterus infection. She has a high White blood count but has a high temp, still going toilet as normal. Wants to scan her and spay her IF it's that.....

HELP!! My wife's magnificent Harlequin Great Dane has a date with the vet to lose the last two inches of her tail if the raw wound that's been there for a few weeks doesn't resolve very soon. As a last resort (she's been on three courses of systemic antibiotics and cortisone, had topical antibiotic...

One of our dogs has suddenly--I mean, within the last hour--developed an eye problem. It looks as if the membrane above the lower lid has come up to cover the lower half of the iris. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but it's obviously irritating, as her eyelid is more or less shut (just like our...

my bitch mated two weeks ago and we have not seen any signs of her being in season for about 12 days she is discharging a mucky brown waste could she be miscarrying

Hi, Would my dog benefit from a bowl of Cheerios every day? -Thanks Todd UCF Mathematics

Are banana skins in any way toxic or harmful to dogs? My Lab LOVES bananas. I freeze them skin and all when they get too ripe (to make banana bread with) But it dawned on me that they would make great doggie popsicles! Anyone know? Rainy -- I can take it, I can make it. Like the man that you...

I have a rescued 10 yr. old Golden Retriever. She's a well behaved & very gentle dog. The thing is she's terrified of thunder & lightning. The people where she lived before wouldn't let her in the house at all. They put her on tranquilizers when it was stormy but, it really did no good at all....

I have sort of a general question about dogs' eye sight. I suspect that Pan is near sighted. She doesn't see a lot of things that are obvious to everydog else, such as the bunny or groundhog that is sitting in the middle of the lawn, and goes on alert when people she knows intimately "change" by...

Dawg teeth cleaning and epoxy filler Good folks, I belong to an 8 year old Brittany spaniel. Generally very healthy but she's starting to have dental problems. Vet sez she's got advanced periodental disease, measured a pocket or 2 of gum space of 6 mm (none should be greater than 3 mm?).

We have just adopted a 5 month old male crossbreed puupy. He is somewhere between greyhound and a staffordshire/pit terrier. We are walking him 3 times a day maybe a 1/2-1 mile a time. He is fine when out but when he is back in the house he seems tired all of the time. Any suggestions if we...

We were out of food so I rushed to the store wanting to buy Pro Plan Chicken and Rice but picked Pro Pet Performance Formula by mistake. I can't even compare the ingredients because they differ so much. Both have chicken as the meat which is what I went by. Chelsea is a one year old Sheltie with...

Our ten-year-old female collie began having difficulty walking several days ago. She seemed "slow"at first. Next, she began being unable to finish her walk. She would simply sit down, and not continue, having to be carried home. We took her to the vet, and they did blood tests, X-rays, etc,,and...

Hello all, Our Beagle / Bluetick mix seems to have taken a liking to foxweed. Once he gets some down he starts coughing, puking and trying to soothe the itch or pain by eating every loose thing in the yard. We live in NM with a walled in gravel back yard which I keep very clean. I do the best I...

We purchased a crate for our Weimer and over the course of a couple months, the floor (plastic) has developed cracks and is disintegrating at an alarming rate... We have called the pet shop we got the crate at and they won't (can't) sell a new floor/tray seperately and advised us to go to...

Goo has once again shared some of his amusing beliefs about reality, by declaring that animals are not capable of simple things which they quite often give every sign of being capable of: _________________________________________________________ From: Goo Message-ID:...

Do you want a healthy dog? It's hard for people to live in these polluted days. It's even harder for your dog. They can't tell you how they feel. Our houses are filled with various toxins from:
