He’s chubby and I don’t notice any weight loss. He still eats as usual. He does drink a lot of water. They said to listen to his heart to see if it sounds “like a washing machine”. I have no idea! Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t see the vet until monday. Am I freaking out over nothing? I need to know how serious this is.
Yikes! What kind of glass? How large? How sharp? How many pieces? I would do my very best to find a way to see a vet. If you don’t know, you might have to later anyway with an emergency on your hands! At least call them.
I’ve seen couple times a vet feed cotton (I think it was) but all that has so many dangerous variables I would not risk it ever.
Thank you for the financial advice that’s not the question I asked now when I got the puppy I was financially sound until I lost my job a few days ago but that’s not why I’m here I’m here to do what I can to help him but thank you for not answering anything at all your a crappy Vet
My chewawa has a puffed up face like swelling a human would have when they have a severe tooth ache. Unknown if she had a run in with another animal. Should I attempt to treat her face with ice. So far she does not react violently.
Sounds like an infected tooth to me – she needs to be seen by a vet. She will most likely be placed on antibiotics to fight the infection so the swelling can go down, then she may need a root canal to prevent a more serious problem from developing.
It might be an insect bite, or an animal bite.
Please get her to a vet as soon as possible so you can get to the root of the problem.
My dog was breathing really hard when I got home, expresses pain towards her rear end, won’t let me touch her tail, is gassy, threw up earlier and it had a quarter of an unchewed rawhide bone in it, now she’s very lethargic, walking around in pain, her breathing is shallow and is having spasms on her bed, she’s an otherwise healthy 3 and a half year old catahoula American bulldog mix…..
This sounds like a potential blockage. Please get your dog to the vet NOW…DO NOT wait on this. Blockages and obstructions are usually fatal if not handled quickly.
MY cat has been sick for 5 days with a fever. No vomiting no diarrhea except for a little on the second day. He has a fever, he’s drinking a lot, lethargic, not grooming. I took him to a vet who gave him something for the fever and an antibiotic shot. He’s eating and drinking which is good but the fever is not going down. The vet prescribed Fevadol which has paracetamol in it. We are in a country with no good vets and no real access to pet medication, but everything I have read says that paracetamol is poisonous to cats. I would give anything for him to get better, but there are no vets that I trust here and I am so confused on what to do. He’s obviously fighting an infection but the vet said he doesn’t seem to have a URI, he has no signs in his chest and no discharge from eyes or nose. I just don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart watching him in pain. please help.
He’s a 4 year old male.
Normally I would tell you to follow the doctor’s instructions but it seems paracetamol is acetometaphin which is very toxic to cats!!! However, without examining your cat it is impossible for me to really give you any advice. My recommendation is to try and find a vet you trust because your cat needs treatment.
Good luck

Thank you for your response. I know he needs treatment, I am very scared for him, but as I said there are no reliable vets here. Is there something over the counter that could bring down his fever?
No there really isn’t.
can I get response on Rodents here?
She’s already had two healthy kittens and has a couple more inside of her but we think the one that is coming out is stuck and she had been pushing on the same one for there hours
She needs a vet NOW. This is an emergency!
That looks painful! Please get him to the vet.
my poor boy has a horrible dry hacking cough, although I haven’t taken his temp he feels quite warm, his been extremely tired all day has gotten up maybe three times today at most. He didn’t eat all his dinner either today which is unusual
I’d get him to the vet if i were you.
All of a sudden my 3 month jack Russell seemed off. He was laying down when we picked him up he was like a noodle. Very wobbly and he puked in the car. He has his first shots. What could possible be wrong with my pup? Please help
Because of his age and his condition, he needs a vet NOW. Puppies deteriorate quickly. Please don’t delay on this.
Laura is right – this is an EMERGENCY! Get that puppy to the vet that gave him the shots, or to an emergency clinic now, or you could lose him!
There really is no point in worrying yourself to death until Monday! I mean remember the Internet can be wrong too!!
I just can’t even sleep. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He’s still just a baby. I’d do anything to make sure he was ok.
