    i would go to the vet pronto.

    Take him to a vet!  You don’t want to mess with it and chance he loses his sight in that eye.  I also would try a wet wash cloth soaking it (use salt water — add salt to hot water until the water tastes like the ocean, don’t use water hot enough to scald you or the dog!) to help clean and flush the eye until you can get him to that vet.

    depending on the breed, it could be cherry eye to a simple infection, I had this situation with a cocker spaniel; vet is the best move.

    I would talk to her doctor but, in general birds have the most airborne allergins of any animal.  So, in short, no I wouldn’t think the no cockatiely

    his bloodworm came back elevated 2300 wbc, and increase folic i believe. Liver enzymes and pancreatic levels normal, as well as kidneys. she sent him home with flagyl and amoxicillin, let me tell you thats not a joy to give him. He is miserable with the meds. and looks a little withdrawn. She wanted to do an exploratory lap prior to returning the blood-work. But decided to give meds to see how he does. we haven’t done a catscan yet. I just don’t want to get raked over the coals with vet bills.. But i want to help my poor little man. What would be the best course of action with the info i gave so far. Please let me know. Lexis8135@gmail.com

Species: Dog

Age: 4

Sex/Neuter status: Not neutered

Breed: Weimaraner

Body weight: 66lbs

History: He started showing sings of what appeared to be the mange at 3 y-o. Before this he was completely healthy and hadn’t had any sorts of trouble or illnesses. He was taken to 4-5 different vets and he had some studies done where they determined he had staphylococcus aureus on his skin. Most of them agreed that it was mange and suggested the following treatments (at different times, to no avail):

* Inyected clindamycin
* Ciprofloxacin tablets
* Cephalosporin (don’t know if tablets or capsules)
* Omega 3 and 6
* B complex and casein shots
* Shampoo with amitraz
* Florfenicol .6% spray
* Aluspray
* Antisebhorreic shampoo

And he is currently on an hypoallergenic salmon diet with special food.

Clinical signs:

* Weight loss
* Very swollen paws and skin in general
* Hair loss
* Loss of appetite
* Ulcers
* Lethargic
* Some fever here and there
* Redness in his eyes

Here are some pictures of him http://imgur.com/a/FgYiT

This is him a couple of months after it started a year ago http://i.imgur.com/whXOmQs.jpg

Duration: 1 year

Your general location: Mexico city

What could this be? What can we do for him? We’ve tried everything and it seems like nothing works and we’re scared to death. We want him to get better.

    He already had bloodwork and nothing showed up, in the skin scrape they just detected bacteria and in the skin biopsy they caught the staphyloccocus aureus. No fungi in any of those.

    He was also seen at a vet teaching hospital by both students and doctors and most of them agreed on mange and one has been studying his case closely to no avail.

  2. Alejandra Torres

    They are not in the US and not anywhere close to a border city at all. We are desperate which is why I’ve come here to ask online since we’ve taken it to plenty different vets on the city and outside the city and spent amounts on the thousands to get him better, which is not a problem because we love him but we are truly worried and aside from the staphyloccocus aureus on his studies, nothing else has shown.

    They’ve urged their vet and themselves which is why they’ve gone to so many different providers and have tried all the treatments as prescribed to no avail.

    I haven’t had him long, my mother in law died and we inherited him. He has pooped 3 times. Once it was quite a bit, but he is still in a lot of pain. I spent the only money I could do to take him to vet hospital and now I’m over drawn.

The first 2 days started with a large amount of vomit early in the a.m. not normal fur ball vomit but a watered down milk consistency with fur in it. Day 3 brought on vomiting throughout the day and refusal to eat. Also stopped using the bathroom. Day 4 vomit is yellow in color now still with fur, still refusing to eat, still hasn’t used the bathroom. Just sleeps and vomits. What can I do?

    Vet time.  Could be an impacted hairball, could be something else, but your vet really needs to see your cat TODAY.  4 days is a LONG time without food, and cats really can’t go without for too long without serious health problems as a result.
