1 year old dalmation
Last evening she was laying down and just shaking , I covered her with a blanket and just layed with her and the shaking stopped. Fast forward to this morning, she won’t get out of bed to go to the bathroom and then when my other dog walked near her she growled which she has never done. I’m not sure what can be wrong but she seems like she doesn’t feel well. She also usually wakes me up at night to go out and she didn’t do that either last night.

My cat has been having audible breathing noises for a few months. No open mouth breathing, just audible through the nose, on and off throughout the day. She’s developed some weird other noises especially while sleeping or falling asleep some snoring, random sneezing as well. She isn’t overweight or old.
We’ve tried antibiotics but it didn’t help. The vets are quoting between $2-10k for just imaging for polyps, not even removal, if they see any. It’s impossible to afford it. She’s eating and playing and acting normal otherwise. I’m wondering what it can be, is it likely polyps and if I don’t go into debt to see, am I going to make her like unliveable?
I’m wondering if I can even rent a car and come down to a cheaper clinic in the US (I’m in Canada) which may be cheaper than doing it locally. There are very few low cost vets here and they only work with people on welfare so it wouldn’t apply. There’s a huge gap between people who are on assistance and people who aren’t but still can’t a afford $10k in imaging.

I have a 7 month old French Bulldog and she has developed a growth on her lower lip. It is not bothering her that we can tell but it doesn’t look very nice. Her vet said that it could be surgically removed but that is pretty pricey and we are just not in a position to be able to do that at this time. Please help are there other options for this to go away or be taken off.

Hello. I have a grey kitty who is 3 experiencing a lot of wheezing. She has about 4-5 spells a day where she just hacks – never coughing up a hair ball or vomit, her whole body gets tight when this happens. I’ve had 2 opinions by different vets. The first vet said it was asthma gave me liquid albuterol for her as well as PREDNISONE. after about 3 months no change so I took her for another opinion. The vet there agreed asthma but said cats cannot metabolize prednisone so she gave me prednisolone to try. Still no change. She is so uncomfortable when she has these spells and I feel so bad because there is nothing I can do to help her. Any thoughts? I have a video but unfortunately it will not allow me to attach to this post 🙁

I was wondering if anybody knows what this possible could be on my dogs penis? I did make an appointment with his veterinarian but not not until the end of the month 6-27. This popped up on him 2 weeks ago & it’s now bleeding. He still acts, eats plus drinks normal. There are several little ones surrounding the huge one.

I’m in desperate need to help my cat Kitt she is a 13 year-old Siamese cat who has been suffering from chronic constipation. The past five years it has increasingly gotten worse. It seems to be happening once a month now what can I do at home to assist her? I’ve changed diets numerous time, I’ve tried numerous supplements, laxatives- I’m at my wits end on how to help my poor cat. Are there any other suggestions to treatments I haven’t tried.

Hello! My cat Daisy (3y/o F, spayed) has been having upper respiratory symptoms, specifically, nasal discharge in one nostril, reverse sneezing, and congestion on and off since November 2024. She is otherwise acting normal (same appetite, energy levels, etc). She will go a day with these symptoms and the next day they’ll clear up, then come back again. I’ve taken her to the vet twice and the first time they said to just give lysine supplements (didn’t work) because she’s had a history of URI when I adopted her 2 years ago and the second time they said to give chlorpheniramine (which didn’t work) and then prescribed hydroxyzine (which also didn’t work). I don’t really know where to go from here if it isn’t allergies. Just wondering if you have any thoughts? Thank you!

My cat has a blockage. 5/27/2025 First vet, gave him a shot of Cerenia. Did not work. Gave me a list of things she was recommending to do, that was exorbitant in pricing. I could not afford. 2nd vet 6/4/2025 took an X-ray. Said he had a blockage & only alternative was surgery, which I cannot afford, or said to put him down. They Gave him an iv of fluids. I later came back asking for an anti-inflammatory in hopes of getting the inflammation down so he could pass whatever. They gave him Depo-medrol. Has not helped him. Can a laxative possibly help him? I am desperate at this point, because 12 days has to be extremely bad for him. He still tries to drink water. Just did 4 times & threw it up.

Hello Dr Magnifico. You vaccinated my kitty, Leo, today around 3. He was fine. Ate dinner around 6. I went to give him a night time crunchy snack and he walked away. He has never walked away from snacks in 3 years!! Can the vaccine cause an upset tummy? As far as I know he hasn’t vomited. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thank you

My daughter’s cat age 3 has thrown up 3 times in 5 hours. He’s a neutered male, indoors only. Proplan chicken catfood…. He is acting normal. However his throw up is thin bloody looking water (including a picture) I am calling the vet in the morning but right now I’m fighting with myself on whether or not this is an er visit issue. I know he hasn’t ingested anything poisonous. He is spoiled and has a lot of toys. Would love to know opinions please. Thank you.
