If she isn’t eating, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. Please, get offline and get her to the vet NOW. She’s too young to have a puppy as it is – this was like letting a 10 year old child have a baby! There are a whole host of potential issues going on!

She was prescribed amoxicillin and a hypoallergenic food. She doesnt want to eat or drink water on her own. I’ve been giving water to her in a syringe but she’s not getting better. What should I do?
Hi, my dog’s face is very swollen looking, he keeps leaving the room where people are, and rubbing his face on the ground and itching his face. He keeps getting up and moving constantly and has a pink rash. Any idea what might be wrong?

Lindsey Knouse It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. Was he outside or came inside and it started happening? Did he receive any medications recently? If it gets bad it can progress. Benadryl may help but if it’s bad, but he may really need injectable medications so I would recommend taking him to a vet near you. Make sure he is breathing ok.
My puppy was acting fine last night. Today she keeps whining if you move her, pees herself, and she cant walk, when she tries shes frantic about it, falls over alot and lays back down.
My dog ate a bunch of grapes ( more than 15) and now she’s grunting and swallowing. Will she be ok?

I’m training a service dog for my friend’s father, since I have experience training therapy and emotional support dogs and they didn’t have the money to get one. She’s doing well, but doesn’t understand that her harness means she’s working. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Anonymous when you work on training, is she in the harness? describe your usual training routine with all tools.

Ash Scism When we begin our training, she sits and let’s me put her harness on her. We then work on whatever we need to work on (right now she’s doing stay and come). We use positive reinforcement and treats. We usually move into the backyard before the end of each training session. But as soon as we’re done training, she goes insane. She’ll start running in circles and going back and forth across the yarf before settling down and letting me take her harness off. And while she’s doing this, she will not listen to me when I tell her to calm down or sit. Other than that, she does really good with it, and she’s a really fast learner and has the sweetest temperament, so I would hate to have to pick a different dog for his service dog. But I also know that if she keeps doing this, I’ll have to.

Anonymous How old is she?
Was she selected for SD work by the breeder?

Ash Scism She is only 5 months old. I picked her myself along with my friend (the one who’s father is getting the service dog) according to some small tests (retrieving, recovery from being startled, following, etc.). She’s actually from a rescue however, but I spoke to her foster who told us that she personally thought she would do good work. She aced all of our tests as well.

Anonymous sounds like she’s being a puppy. 😉
Are you encouraging the brumation? It’s not something I typically recommend encouraging. Low temperatures may be a cause so raising the temp, eliminating drafts, etc. is what I would suggest to encourage eating, etc. If that fails to encourage him to eat, drink, and defecate on his own, I would recommend a physical exam and consult to make sure you’re doing things right as far as husbandry. You probably know this but make sure you’re provided UVB light and change the light bulb every 6 months.
I agree with Dr. Knouse – Please try to prevent brumation.
No I am not we got an adult at the pet store and it is in brumation ( we found that out 1-2 months later) and it was then to late to take it back and right now we are deciding if it is to much care or if I should just take care of it and if it is to much care I will sell it to someone who is obviously much more experienced I am definitely not trying to cause it to brumation I’m very sorry I must have stated the question wrong.
Just try to increase the temperature. Depending on where you’re located I can recommend a vet that sees bearded dragons who could teach you everything you would need to know.
