2 periods – no mating, 3rd period natural mating, after 48 days – dark green discharge – probably abortion. About 10 days before lot water drinking – beside that the bitch felt ok – eating normal, behaving and acting -ok.Brucelosa test -negative.E.coli found in vaginal secret test. – she received some antibiotics.We missed 1 period than naturaly mated. I think it was too early and for sure there was no pregnancy, but again – around 35th day after mating – lot of water drinking, discharge from vulva – dark bloody secret, no smell, after that turns in clear blood and gone. The dog was ok – no sign of illness. Now she is mated on 9.07., 11.07. and 13.07. – natural mating. Vaginal test – E.coli. Treatment 10 days with Nuroclav 250 mg once a day. Vaginal test positive for e.coli. Starting Amoxiclav – 500 mg on 12h dosage – 10 days treatment, testing and again is positive for e.coli .If she is pregnant now should be the implantation and body development – what is better to do – to stop the antibiotic, to continue or to change is with something else and what else – Zinnat for examle?This time she had a Herpes virus vaccine just in case that she have virus which is the reason for aborion, but i think the problem is in e.coli. I am testing the progesterone levels. Today was 68 ng/ml – normal levels for 3 weeks after mating
Today as every day our beloved Golden made a poop. 3/4 of which was perfectly normal.1/4 was yellow and well, watery. He eats normally, drinks, plays, digs, wags his tail. Yesterday he stole a chicken in worcastershire sauce. And on Wednesday we changed their puppy food (we mixed taste of wild with holistic ) – He’s up to date with his vaccines ( (DHPPi2 + lepto – most recent).
We have also a lab, but she is on metronidazole right now. She has ameba – which is very common in Indonesia. He was clean, so he got his second shot on Monday.
Sorry for panicking, but we had a dozens of health issues with our dogs and I’m superscared about dealing with distemper or parvo (again).*
*Our lab had parvo 2 months ago, test – positive. Our golden was parvo negative, but he started to have the same symptoms as our lab 4 days before she did. 3 of 4 vets we encountered said that his test results must have been false negative. Now I’m panicking its parvo again. Should I?
For breakfast they had: puppy food (+ peanut butter + apple on the side) (as always)
for lunch I’m serving rice with chicken and carrot.
Can I do something more??
Could he have worms? Should I deworm him even though I haven’t seen signs of them?
my dog just started randomly flinching about 2 hours ago he is fine when he i relaxed but as soon as he gets exited it starts again he is normally very hyper but seems very depressed now he is not eating all of his treats so is dropping them. he is a 2 and a half year old rottie and he has never behaved in this way before he is like a whole different dog also he has begun to dribble a lot more than normal .
Hi, I need some tips on my situation with my bunny so it would be great if you wouldn’t mind helping me out. My bunny is an adult medium male Brown HollandLop, I had had him since he was very little. I decided to have him free ranged around my garden both day and night because he would be very aggressive and stressed out if I caged him even though his cage is very big ( 3 meters long, 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide). I have never seen any other predators except stray cats, I wouldn’t worry about the cats that much because my rabbits are great friends with my dog and he would scare away the cats and at night my bunny would choose to go sleep in my garage which is right next to one of my families room so if anything bad happens we would hear it. I don’t know if this is safe but he seems very happy to be free ranged and have this cage open so he can go in for pellets and veggies. Please give me your opinion on what I should do with my situation.
your area is completely without birds of prey? that’s surprising. and you can’t count on predators behaving around prey. your dog is also a predator. he may be trained to leave the rabbit alone, but that doesn’t mean you should leave them together unsupervised.
is your rabbit not used to being handled? are you rough when putting him in the cage?
My rabbit is totally used to being handled but after I have him run around during the day he would have a really hard time going back in. And I live in Thailand so there are no foxes etc. My dog isn’t really a concern to me because he have been with my rabbit since they are very little but I do supervise my dog while he is outside with the bunny. I rabbit is very bonded to me so if I go outside to would come to me.
I let my rabbits run around the yard but only when I can supervise them. Your rabbit might end up wandering too far or a predator could find him, even though he doesn’t want to go in the cage, it’s whats best for his safety. How big is your cage?
I took him to vets they couldn’t tell me what’s wrong. I have 3 other dogs in my home that had similar problems just no swelling at all. Please help me.
dog vomiting. they did blood work, abdominal x rays and radiographs but found nothing abnormal. His stomach became bloated and he wouldn’t eat much. We have him on a bland diet but it’s a struggle. He is still drinking water, hasn’t vomited and has only pooped once per day since. He’s very lathargic, doesn’t want to go on walks and acts very tired. His breathing also became heavier and the vet said they weren’t sure what it could be but they could do another x Ray to see. Should I bother? Is a chest X-ray or a sonogram worth doing? I’ve been feeding him pumpkin, chicken and rice and the vet prescribed I/d digestive care dog food but he won’t touch that.
Your dog is in distress and does need help by getting figured out what’s going on and getting it addressed. Since your vet seems to be at a loss, I’d likely seek a second opinion from another vet.
My 6 month old malamute broke out in a rash a few weeks ago and is now losing hair and itching a lot. Does anyone have any idea on what it can be? Or any remedies? I have low income so going to the vet is a last resort.
He’s well taken care of. He’s also up to date on all his shots. He’s my baby. The only reason I’m saying the vet is a last resort is because I’m only 18 and I lost my car. I’m in the process of getting another one. If anyone has any information that can help please do.
without a cause for the rash, no one can really give you a cure. you could try a small dose of benadryl (google the dosage), but you’d need to know what caused it to prevent it from returning.
Hi everybody!
Well my pup is going on five months now, he’s been desexed and had all his needles ect. and he’s a healthy happy boy. However, he has always been an inside dog due to the fact when he was a little guy he was very unwell. We are now moving to a bigger house with a large yard (he’s a cattle dog) and we are hoping for him to become an outside dog. However the problem is we’re having trouble convincing him to be an outside dog 😉
Hes currently being put in the garage with his bed, toys and clothing of ours, we have a clock in there and he has his own radio to keep him company. However, for the last two weeks he will not stop crying, whining, howling, batting at the door loudly and barking. Fortunately, he cries a bit when we put him in at night, and mainly sleeps through the night but as soon as he hears the birds which is like (3 am or 4 am) he won’t stop carrying on from then.
Its driving us crazy, we aren’t getting any sleep and neither is he. It makes us much less approachable in the morning when we get him out. We have started leaving him in there when we go to university and the shops during the day and he continues to do the same thing. We have tried everything, we have ignored him and turned to some smacks on the bottom but nothing is working!
Please if you have any advice, we are willing to try anything!
Thanks!
honestly, he wants to be with his family…unless you have some pressing NEED for him to be outside, let him stay in. in fact, i’d crate him away from windows and give him some sort of radio in the room so he doesn’t hear the birds.
as for the rest of his carrying on…he sounds BORED. what do you do with him when you’re home? are you actively training him? if not, you need to start.
Laura and Dr Krista are correct – he wants to be with his family! A 5-month old puppy cannot entertain himself and neither can an adult dog without a job. Show him that outside is a wonderful, fun place to be by being out there with him and playing games. End the game before he is bored with it and then go inside. Once he is an adult, will he have cattle to herd? If not, he can get into all sorts of trouble outside alone out of boredom.
Please stop smacking him! He won’t understand why you are hitting him. He needs to be shown how you want him to behave and it will take dedicated work on your part. Find out how long he can stay in his kennel without starting to whine, even if it is just 30 seconds. Put him in his kennel, go out of sight and return before he starts to whine. They praise, praise, praise! Have a party – what a good, smart boy you are! Continue to do this, gradually extending the separation time.
What could be the problem and what do I need to do? I know he can’t make it not peeing. He has pooped tho and it wasnt hard it was soft. He isnt playful today he been just laying around. I can tell he dont feel good.
If anyone can give me advice plz do. I’m in a pannick cause I’m helpless. He is one of my children.

Second poop today was just as it should be. Brown and solid. No lethargy or vomiting. He’s crazy happy, thorn his new bed apart, ate the whole lunch and snack. I am so happy that he’s alright!
