She Seemed Pretty Happy Earlier And There’s No Blood But I Don’t Know How Much…
She seemed pretty happy earlier and there’s no blood but I don’t know how much of the pain medication I was given for her (Meloxicam) she actually ingested. I was given a syringe but it was very hard to get her to take any. Without knowing how much she’s had I don’t want to risk giving too much. Its now about three hours since I gave it and she seems more visibly in pain. She’s grinding teeth (not chattering) and her eyes have been bulging. She’s also licking the wound a lot which she wasn’t doing earlier. I’m worried for her, because of both the open wound and the thought she’s in pain! Any help?

I Found This Kitten About 3 Days Ago Lying In The Middle Of The Road…
I found this kitten about 3 days ago lying in the middle of the road. I brought her home and bathed her and fed her. she has no problem eating. she is a cuddle bug. from my research I would say shes around 4-6 weeks. she has been sneezing and has had this gooey eye problem since I brought her home, although it has gotten a little better since then. unfortunately I cant afford to take her to the vet at the moment so I’m just looking for home remedies or a medication I could possibly buy at the store.

When We Arrived Home From Work, There Was A Grease Can In The Living Room…
When we arrived home from work, there was a grease can in the living room he had gotten into. Unless it is a major coincidence, we believe that he ingested who knows how much. Are these symptoms normal for grease ingestion in a small dog? He has had no diarrhea at all, and only vomited one time. The other times he is dry heaving it kind of sounds like he is wheezing

She Is 8 Years Old And Does Not Go Outside Except To Use The Bathroom…
She is 8 years old and does not go outside except to use the bathroom. She is now at the point where she has just little squirts when she goes. The problem is she is sqirting all over my house and on my bed last night. She can’t seem to be able to control it. What could be the matter, and what should I do to help her?

Dawn Ferara, DVM At this point I am concerned she is dehydrated and think she needs to see a vet immediately! There are many reasons for diarrhea and the cause could be anything from ingesting something she shouldn’t to something infectious and really everything in between.
She really needs to see a vet, please get her into see one ASAP!
Good Luck

Marena Jade There is a chance that is Addison’s disease look it up your dog has many symptoms I would think your dog needs a vet to diagnose

Marena Jade My dog has Addison’s and he had the same starting symptoms. Is she a white coat? If so white dog shaker syndrome is also a possibility at this point.

Anonymous If he has a bothersome ear, it COULD be a foreign body inside the ear but it could also be an ear infection. Please get him to the vet.

Marshmallow The Rabbit To find out if your rabbit is stressed, count his/her breathing. He/she should breathe 30-60 times a minute. If he/she is stressed try physical therapy. Just pet your rabbit and talk to it gently.

Anonymous Because we aren’t the vet who prescribed this to your dog, we cannot answer. Please ask your vet.
Thanks a million, its just horrible seeing her hurting! As for the Meloxicam, I had seen a lot of stuff online saying that it’s been discovered that rats should be on much higher doses due to differences in metabolism and the fact that it’s not technically (off label) for rats. As a result vets tend to dose for equivalent body weight in dogs and they may not be getting enough. Is there possibly any accuracy to that? I have no medical background and so am absolutely not going to start adjusting prescriptions but if that’s the case I think a different painkiller would definitely be an idea. I hadn’t seen anything similar about the other medications so she may get more relief.
Ok, no worries. I hadn’t seen that you were a vet when I posted, so I hope you took that in the spirit it was intended! I’m just very aware that vets probably see a huge amount of dogs and cats for every one rat they see. It seemed plausible and didn’t exactly ease my worrying about her! Really appreciate you taking the time to help!
