Sunday, After groomed in a petshop, my cat can’t stand right, tremble when he walks and his head turn to left and can’t turn back. His appetite still good, doesn’t have trouble in peeing or pooping. Eyes roll well. I have gone to clinic performed x-ray and see 3 different vets. But no vets has the same answers. One said axis and atlas bone dyslocation, other said fracture and muscle neck inflammation and the last said otitis interna. what happened to my cat actually? Can he fully recovered?

Krista Magnifico I’m sorry to hear about your cat. This cannot be answered without an in person exam and review of the radiographs. I strongly recommend that you seek a specialists help and give her rest in a cage so she cannot hurt herself further.

Zhai Hui I know that. But here in Indonesia, we don’t have any specialist. So idk what to do again now.
maybe you can help me to interpret these xray results? I add another xray from different position. So i hope you can help me by giving a good interpretation of my cat’s results here

Krista Magnifico Hello,
It can be anything from infection, disease, trauma, self traumatization (licking the end of the tail), infection, parasites, etc. I would look for other areas of hair loss or irregular skin and talk to your vet if it worsens or persists.
My Serbian Husky Is Throwing Up Constantly. Today She Has At Least Throwed Up 20…
My Serbian Husky is throwing up constantly. Today she has at least throwed up 20 times. I just recently got her 3 days ago. She’s 5 years old. Her stomach cringes and she will stop gagging then a puddle of slimy clear liquid with a little foam like substance will come out. After she eats she throws it up and you can see the food and it looks like it hasn’t been chewed up. When it does this, it’s ALOT. It’s really white and foamy. I have no clue what it is and I’m freaking out!

Nicole L Has she ate anything new? Like change of food or new treats? Human food? Are you feeding her the same foods her last owner fed her?

Britney Kidd She has parvo.. 🙁 I got her medicines today!

Krista Magnifico She should go immediately to the closest emergency clinic. They will examine your dog, provide injectable anti nausea medications and even sedate your dog so the vomiting stops and the tissue can begin to heal. I also get extremely concerned that these cases might be something like gdv/bloat, obstruction, toxin, or disease. Any dog who vomits more than a few times, or has intractable vomiting needs a vet immediately.

Sarah I’d get to a vet as soon as possible. Simply because if she isn’t keeping anything down at all, dehydration will become a serious issue. The vet can get fluids into her and then better assess the situation. Good luck.
My Puppy Is 13 Weeks, For The Past 2 Weeks He Has Been Very Good…
My puppy is 13 weeks, for the past 2 weeks he has been very good! Training well and just being a very good puppy, but the last 3 days he’s been really bad, he’s starting to pee inside again, chew up carpet, growling barking and biting, and just not listening to me and my parter! Is there any reason or anything as to why he’s all of a sudden acting like this?

Krista Magnifico Hello,
Certainly it is possible and plausible that there is a medical reason behind this. The only way to know is to see your vet. After that we discuss adequate exercise, diet, training and making sure that your puppy has everything they need to be happy, healthy, and a welcome member of your family. I would like to add that puppies (or any pet at all) are never ever “bad”. They are trying to tell you in the only way that they know how to, that they are frustrated and need something. Usually it is more time, attention, training and exercise. Please be very very patient and understanding and please try to find someone who can articulate what your pup is trying to tell you. This is a crucial age for development, training and a lifelong successful happy relationship together. Get help from a positive reinforcement trainer.
Very best of luck
Please let me know how things go.

Sarah Right now it is really important to create good bond with your pup. This is best done through training, play and walks. Granted, the age and stamina of your puppy dictates the amount of time spent, but it is the quality of that time that is key. Being in tune with your pup is key. A puppy class would be very beneficial for both owner and dog. It is great for socialization, which is very important. It also helps owner with training and is great mentally for the dog. Please be patient during training… if you find you’re getting too frustrated, chances are that your puppy is too. Walk away and try again later. It should be fun for everyone.
Good luck?

Krista Magnifico The medication is actually very inexpensive and available over the counter. The exam at my clinic is $50, the coagulation profile blood work is about $100.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your dog. If your dog did get into rat poison it certainly an be fatal. The longer you wait to get help the worse your dogs prognosis is. It is helpful to know what kind of poison he ate. With this information we recommend that you call the pet poison helping and the product manufacturer to get help for your dog. In most cases we pre-emptiness stray dogs on vitamin K supplements to slow or stop the clotting problems that rat poisons kill by. I cannot over emphasize how important it is to get help. I also cannot over empathize how quickly you need to act. Rat poison is a cruel, painful, and awful way to die. No one should ever buy or use this product. There are better, safer ways to manage rats. I suggest a cat, or two. -
Jana Was that a court ruling of some sort that you were told to put him down? Would the vet know about this? How about a different vet, then?

Jana Please define “started vomiting”. You mean multiple times since? Since it’s a weekday, and she seems visibly unwell, I’d see a vet with that.

LEE BOWMAN thank you for responce, yes she vomits white gunk and clear fluid quite regular but full of life when out in garden, will book vet asap.
Hi There- My Dog Basically Got Mauled By Another Dog 2 Weeks Ago. Her Sutures…
Hi there- my dog basically got mauled by another dog 2 weeks ago. Her sutures and staples are to be removed this week. Yesterday she developed a hard lump under her armpit to her chest. She’s limping a bit on that leg, started yesterday and she seems to feel much worse this morning.
I took her in last week to the vet (one week after the incident) because she has a lot of soft fluid build up on her side and belly. The vet said it was due to the trauma and she’s probably moving more and she’s not completely healed.
I’m very concerned about this since its gotten worse so quickly. Can anyone give me input?

Sarah I’m so sorry about your dog! I would call the vet first thing this morning. They’ve seen the patient, already are familiar with exactly what trauma has occurred and where, and will be able to give you advice better than anyone else. Good luck.
-
Ashley Borrero Thanks. I’m taking her at 11, but I just wanted to do some research before. I appreciate your concern Sarah.

Krista Magnifico An acute swelling after a trauma is often blood or fluid. It needs to be examined and perhaps even aspirated. Often othe modalities like an X-ray or ultrasound are also helpful.
My Dog Has A Lump On Her Snout/mouth And I’m Very Worried. I Have Booked…
My dog has a lump on her snout/mouth and I’m very worried. I have booked to see a vet tomorrow but I won’t be able to sleep tonight because I’m scared it is cancerous. It is the size of a ten cent coin, crusty and red. I’m very scared 🙁
Can someone try to guess what this is?

Anonymous Let us know what the vet says.

Krista Magnifico I would guess a histocytoma. But the only way to diagnose is with the vets help
Get her to the vet.
I agree!! An examination including a rectal exam needs to be done.
