Oliver’s Story – Canine Cryptorchid Neuter In A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Treatment Cost (USD): $683.00
Oliver is a one year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who had two abnormalities: a small umbilical hernia, and an undescended right testicle. This is known as cryptorchidism, which is a medical term that refers to the failure of one or both testicles (testes) to descend into the scrotal sac. In most cases of cryptorchidism, the undescended testicle is retained in the inguinal canal or in the abdomen. In Oliver's case, it was located in his inguinal canal. Neutering a cryptorchid dog is a bit more complicated than neutering a dog whose testicles have descended normally, so the cost is often a bit higher in these cases.

I Have A 7 Year Old Female Cat Who Seems To Have Contracted A Bad Cold. Her …
I have a 7 year old female cat who seems to have contracted a bad cold. Her nose is completely stuffed up to the point where she has to breathe through her mouth . Because of that she is eating and drinking very litte and I am very worried about her. I have had her since she was born and she means the world to me. I know she should be seen by a vet but I can’t afford that until I get paid in two weeks . Does anyone have any recommendations for any OTC meds I can purchase locally to help open my baby’s nose so she can breathe better and start eating and drinking again. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thsnk you.

Krista Magnifico White spots can be corneal damage, fat, or even pus. A veterinarian should be consulted to identify the source.
Today After Running Errands I Came Home To Find My 7yo Shepherd Mix Cowering In The …
Today after running errands I came home to find my 7yo Shepherd Mix cowering in the corner. Typically he runs to greet us. I made sure he hadn’t gotten into anything then I let him out while unloading groceries, typically he enjoys running around the farm but today he hopped into the back of my SUV and refused to budge. As my truck was in a shady spot I let him be with the hatch and windows open while I mowed. Now several hours later he is still in the back of my truck. He has been offered water which he drank and we let his Golden Retriever best bud out who he was happy to see but still refused to budge. Typically he is a “Velcro” dog and stays right with us, especially my daughter. This behavior is very out of character and has me concerned .

Sarah I am sorry you didn’t get a response sooner. I would be concerned as well with such a sudden change in behavior. I would get to the vet- just for peace of mind for sure. Even if you go and they find no temperature or anything else wrong, you will at least know that part of the equation is ok. Maybe he just ate something he shouldn’t have and will bounce back? I’m hoping by now you have a better idea of what is going on.

Sarah Hi
Did you talk to the vet? I’m worried for your pup. -
Jennifer Taylor Post author I am very lucky in that I could contact my vet after hours who suggested taking him for a ride and seeing if he was normal upon returning home. We took a quick drive to our favorite hiking spot, he had popped up, tail wagging so we took a short hike and swim. Upon returning home he again refused to leave my SUV. I moved my vehicle and offered to take him in a different door to the house which was a success. Seems something must have scared him in our kitchen and the hike was an added bonus. Completely normal today.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
It sounds like something got him startled and he needed a little change if scenery to get himself off the issue. If he’s still afraid of the kitchen start desensitizing him back to it.
Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about your cat. I think it is best to been seen by a get before presuming this is infection. I also think that waiting for help or trying OTCs that are probably not going to work and may possibly even be unsafe is too dangerous for me to advocate. I understand about needing to waiting to be paid but perhaps there are low cost options locally. Call every rescue, vet and shelter to look for assistance. You can certainly keep her face and nose clean by removing any caked on mucous around the nose or eyes but if it is infection or even a polyp waiting can be dangerous pr even fatal. Cal, ask for help. Reach out in all social media platforms and try to get an exam with a vet ASAP. I also think that a felv /fiv year is warranted and an antibiotic. Some vets also prescribe a humidifier or even children’s decongestant drops. But please ask about these or any medication before you give it. And don’t wait. Most cats who can’t smell don’t eat well and this can be very impactful to cats too. (Look yo hepatic lipidosis and you will see what I mean).
Good luck.
Hello
I agree that your cat needs to be seen by a vet right away. The longer you wait, the worse and more costly it will be, unfortunately. Explain to your vet that you don’t get paid until two weeks, and see if they can hold your bill until then. Best of luck.
