My dog is vomiting diaherra and will not eat he us a black lab and is nine yrs old
My ~1 year old cat is having two problems:
1. While we play, she is moving her head in a weird way when (I think) she needs to focus on the “prey” with her ears.
This can be seen below in this short clip:

2. She sometimes plainly shakes head, during play time or walking. This behavior is clearly seen on the clip below:

Does this look like an inner ear infection (since I can’t observe any ear mites/parasites/fleas on the outside of the ears)? Is it possible to treat at home or she needs to see a vet?
first: THANK YOU for linking to videos in your post. i really appreciate that, and it makes it a LOT easier to diagnose.
for 1 – i agree with you. i think she’s focusing on the “prey” with her odd head movement. i’ve seen this before in a healthy cat.
for 2 – maybe? i’d wait and see on it, honestly. if this is only during walks and play it may be behavior-related rather than health.
That’s what a lot if the people said. Little ginger is at the vet right now getting a check up. Thank you for your input
I have a 11 year old saint Bernard he has a large tumor on his side and his hips are going out also he has congestive heart failure difficult for him to breathe we are thinking of putting him down is this the right choice
What’s the youngest age for a puppy to get her rabies shots?
you should be asking your vet this question, as they know your puppy best and they have a schedule in mind for her.
seriously – ask them. 🙂
I am asking because we were told 8 weeks then 4 months.
our puppies both had rabies shots at 4 months.
Ok
3 months or 13 weeks by law
Thank you!
My 7 year old cat started breaking out with miliary dermatitis after we moved from Arizona to Maryland. We have been to the vet several times. Skin test revealed no ringworm and topical flea medication caused her to break out more in the area it was applied. Tests showed no ringworm. We opted for steroid treatment as allergy testing and treatment was too expensive for us. Her skin cleared up for about a month, but now it has broken out again and appears worse thanbefore. The areas most affected are forehead, ears, chin, along the spine, and the base of her tail. She is also on Royal Canin SO Urinary food. How can we help her without making numerous visits to the vet? We just cannot afford to keep bringing her.
Im not sure if my puppy has swallowed a tiny button battery. What should i do? do i just let it pass?
Not good! You should get him to a vet for an X-ray to determine if he did indeed eat the battery. There is corrosive material inside batteries that could cause a lot of tissue damage inside if the battery starts to leak or the battery itself could cause an obstruction. Sometimes you can look in their mouth & see where there are mouth sores from the battery- there could be sores on the tongue, inside of cheeks. Your dog should see a vet ASAP to ensure he is safe from the acid & an obstruction.
My dog cut her foot. It’s beyond super glue. I don’t know what to do. Taking her to the vet is out of the question. I have no money this week. My boyfriend has taken care of dogs his whole life. His family was breeders. He is going to caulderize the wound. He isn’t off work yet. What can I do to help her stop bleeding?
Apply direct pressure to the wound, cauderizing can be dangerous if you don’t know what your doing!
why is my dog vomiting yellow fluid that is not foamy?
vomiting he vomited 4 times already
She is quidding when she eats (even mushy food) and even when she’s not eating, so looks like she has something wrong with her mouth. We thought it was un chewed food that made her sick, but even feeding other food like pate cat food that’s mush (similar to mince fish-no chunks) still makes her sick. she’s painfully thin and really not her self. its like she’s got a stomach problem and a mouth/teeth/throat problem.
I would definitely seek a second opinion or a veterinary internist.
Do you know if there is anything specific I shoukd ask them to do? blood work? X ray? urine test?
Take him to a vet asap !
This is one time we can all only say take him to the vet and tell then it’s urgent.
Sorry to hear
Might have parvo
That’s what happen to my puppy found out today she had parvo best of luck !
