My dog has a patch on the tip of her ear that looks like a build up of something. It is dry and hard. I started picking at it and the hair started coming part. What is this and how do I help?
She also has other spots on her body that are just dry and thinning hair. Is there anything I can do to help with hair loss/thinning? Anything topical? We were told she may have an allergy to chicken so she is on a sensitive diet.

I have a small dog treat bakery side hustle and would like to include small cakes, donuts and muffins in my treat line. Cake like recipes call for baking powder, baking soda or both. Is there any amount that is safe? Where would I find solid information on the use of these items in cakes for dogs?

I’ve tried using eggs for leavening but things like donuts are still brick like – and yes I taste each item I make!

Thanks!

I’m a loving pet owner with a 12 yr old Morkie (who is dying from prostate cancer$ and a Yorkie puppy (who we got before the cancer diagnosis). Interested in how to know signs of imminent death or the need to euthanize. Also, tips on keeping the Yorkie’s “puppy-ism” from causing the Morkie to be overwhelmed with fear, discontent, concern, feeling outcast.

Hello ! My 6yo husky have like a filter in her eye. She had this about 1-2 times / years, only for few days and it pass. But now, it’s been more than a week, don’t seem to disappear and worse than the other time. What could it be ? Did she need à vet appointment now or I wait a little more ?
Thank you ! – sorry I speak french, I hope my text is clear !

I’m have a 7month old female tortie who broke her left humerus last night. The ER vet at falls road animal hospital who was the only ER able to take her, and delayed a surgery to do so, said it was a spiral fracture and they were worried it could puncture through the skin. I was quoted $1400 for everything needed before surgery. They say they can do surgery Thursday which they estimated to be 4-5k but has always been higher in my experience with them so I am anticipating 6k. I do not have those funds. I made a gofundme, waggle, and posted to fb groups. I’ve reached out to other vets like JVC, timonium, padonia, spaynow for second opinions. Hoping to hear back. Especially from Dr Magnifico at JVC as she has come the mostly highly recommended on every post I’ve made.
Any help would be beneficial.

My perfectly healthy 13 yo boxer just out of nowhere his back legs fall out from under him and he can’t stand or walk. He doesn’t seem bothered when you touch his back or legs and then stared vomiting

Hey so a couple of months ago,my dog had a sort of a film that was covering his eye and it has been growing and it seemed like a bother ( I could see his perception greatly reduced. I asked the former owner about it but he told me that it might be age. I overlooked it until it started to become to disturbing, he’s been getting a lot of eye discharge. No matter how much I remove,it simply comes back the following day. I live in a very rural area and there’s no vetinary close and to top it off I’m ina non-english speaking country and I don’t know any other language besides that.so I decided to ask for help, and that’s how I’m here, I also took note that this film is somewhat forming in his other eye,very easy to overlook but I can’t afford to, if anyone can offer some sort of help or advice I would really appreciate it.

I cant get a picture because the website wont work on my phone for some reason but my cat lost one of his whole back claws, there is dried blood along the top of it should i be worried? He is sleeping rn and a little bit ago he was walking around like he wasn’t in pain, is this normal for cats? He got back from the vet about a month ago for an abcess on his neck from one of my other cats being a little too rough and bitting him, could this be the same issue of the cats playing too rough and his claw got ripped out?
