My 12 years old border collie mix has had a runny eye for a few days. Today we noticed the eye is swollen. Should she see a vet immediately?
I have an intact 4 yr old Great Dane weighing about 160
Has had diarrhea (literally water) for the last 3 days no blood no mucus just water poop
Still eating and drinking normally
Doesn’t eat anything he’s not a chewer
I have other dogs who also was having the same issue however their cleared up
I’m not sure if it’s a virus that can spread between them
Where they picked it up
I am going to try to give him boiled chicken and rice this evening is there anything else to try
Hello,
There are numerous reasons pets get diarrhea. If they are on a broad spectrum heartworm prevention then I worry less about parasites, which leaves stress, and diseases more likely. Overall a short transient case of diarrhea doesn’t get me too worried but days long episodes are what addressed by a vet visit. Make sure to bring a fresh fecal sample.
Hello, I am looking for advice on Separation anxiety for my 9 week old puppy. Made her crate small, pads for night, heartbeat cuddle down, music to calm her. She screams all night long. I play with her all day and wait til 11 to put her down so I can get some rest. I haven’t sleep in 8 days. Please help
Sorry to hear about your sleep! Is she crate trained? Instead of playing with her all day and leaving her all night, try giving her short time outs. Step out of view for a few seconds. Come back. Step out of view for a few minutes and come back. Increase the amount of time you’re away from her so she learns that you’re coming back. Don’t make exits and entrances a big deal. Now is the perfect time to get your puppy into a training program where they can learn to socialize and a trainer can work with you on her anxiety as well. If you’re in the area we can recommend a few.
Hello,
Issues involving the eyes always warrant a call to your vet.
