Hi Crystal – wow, that’s a heck of a growth! Did they do biopsies on the mass? I would be insisting on it, to better understand what you’re dealing with.

…okay, at this point I’d encourage you to speak to your vet. i don’t want to scare you but diluted urine is something we encountered with our Doberman puppy, and it turned out he had one barely functioning kidney.

This is a baby puppy. You didn’t specify the size – if he’s a small breed, they have absolutely minuscule bladders. I think your expectations might be a little high.

What does your housetraining look like? He should be going out every half hour, before and after every meal, playtime, and crate session. I would also take him out in the middle of play sessions. Furthermore, he should be leashed to an adult if he isn’t crated.

A few things could be happening here.

1 – have you made certain what you’re using fits properly without being too tight?
2 – this COULD be fear. 10 weeks is very, very young, after all, and the world is big and scary!
2a – she could be overstimulated and uncertain.

I think I’d start working on desensitization inside your home with the gear you use outside. Lots of rewarding the behavior you want. Gentle tugs on the leash to get her used to it, treat party.

Oh those are all CLASSIC signs she’s in heat. DO NOT let her outside. Godspeed!

Okay so…

Is she spayed? Because suddenly being very very vocal and restless could mean she’s in heat.

Beyond that, she could simply be demanding your attention. 2-3 months is an appropriate time for a cat to feel more comfortable in their new home, and they’ll start to run your life. 😉

As long as she’s eating and drinking and using the litterbox normally AND she’s spayed, I’d probably engage her in cooperative play. Something like a toy on a stick could be great fun!

If I had a cat who desperately wanted to be outside, I would let them – either in an escape proof catio, or on leash with me.

My Balinese boy LOVED his leashed walks. He didn’t try to get out when he knew we’d take him out with us.

Hi Sandra.

I would struggle with your SIL’s deliberate neglect of her cat’s health. This cat absolutely needs to be seen by a vet – no one can diagnose this online, this cat needs hands-on exam, likely xrays/ultrasound, definitely bloodwork.

If she cannot afford to care for her cat, please encourage her to surrender the cat so the cat gets care.

Hi Timothy – this sounds like an infection. Please get your cat to the vet if you haven’t yet.

Hi there! While I am not a veterinarian, I believe that is your dog’s third eyelid. If it isn’t retracting, that could mean there is something wrong, and I would absolutely get your dog to the vet TODAY. I don’t let eye problems sit for too long without vet care – it could be something very simple, like allergies, or something significant that could lead to blindness if not treated immediately. Only your vet can tell you what’s going on, here.
