She is a spayed female, around 2 years old. She cannot urinate, and has a clear discharge with some blood coming from her vulva.
Please do not say, take him to your vet. My dog is a Yorkie, he is 9 years old and he has 2 tumors in his belly that have grown. They don’t know how long he has to live but my vet said that surgery isn’t an option because she believes he would only have a 10% chance of making it. This was two months ago and today his tummy is 4 times bigger than normal. A lot of it is fluid. I can feel his organs in his belly just floating in the fluid. Is there anything thing I can give him to help get rid of the fluid. I understand he doesn’t have much time but he is still full of life, my heart is breaking.
Oh no….I am so so sorry. This must be heartbreaking for you.
I honestly don’t think there is anything you can give him to get rid of this fluid. This, as I’m sure you know, happens with cancer.
The only way to get rid of it is to have it drained by the Vet. It won’t go any other way.But I think it will just build up again within a short time.
Again my heart goes out to you.
Thank you Krista and Julie. I am going to call my vet and see if she would drain the fluid but I don’t think she will. Even though he is active he isn’t as active as he was a couple months ago and I am sad to say that there isn’t any meat on his body anymore. Thanks again !
We bought the wrong kind. We bought something for adult dogs. He is not an adult yet so we went back yesterday and bought the right kind. The vomiting stopped now he just won’t eat and he still has a fever. He’ll eat his doggie treats here and there just not his actual food. What should we do?
I would take your dog and the dog food you bought to a vet! This may be a case of poisoning from a recalled food – or it could be unrelated to the food at all! Only the vet can help you determine what is happening with your pups’s health. Typically switching to an adult dog food does not result in vomiting and fever! I suspect something else is going on.
Thank You So Much I Just Called The Vet And Made An Appointment For Tomorrow Morning.
Thank You I Called They Told Me To Come First Thing In The Morning
Our yorkie male is holding his left rear leg up. Upon looking at it, the center part of the pad is pink, not black. Suggestions!!
It sounds like an injury, which in the city can result when dogs scrape the pad on concrete, like the sidewalk.
If this is the case then I would watch the area to be sure it does not get infected or inflamed. However, I cannot examine your dog over the internet so my recommendation is to visit your vet. If for no other reason then to obtain pain meds.
Good Luck

Carefully feel the leg, joints, and all parts of the paw. He may have popped a knee cap and so now it hurts, or it may be a thorn in the paw. Has he jumped any distance lately (off a bed for example)? Then I would worry that he damaged something. These little dogs can be delicate! I would also wonder if he got stepped on my accident.
When my boys are limping or holding their legs up I check for spots that are painful, or stickers, etc. If I find no smoking guns then I wait a few days to see if it resolves on its own. If it continues for more than 3 days then we go to the vet to see if they can find what I have overlooked.
The center pink could be from a blister that has healed (and it will darken to match the rest of the pad in time), or it could be the beginning of a raw spot. Feel the pad carefully to make sure there is not a sticker in there and then just keep an eye on things.
Hello Earl.
Have a thorough orthopedic/neurological examination performed by a veterinarian you have confidence in. It may be a pad injury; but it’s best to make sure it’s not something more serious before making that assumption.

It’s been three days and it’s happening more and more. He’s a 3 year old lab/German Shephard.
no sign of worms 5 minutes after eating and 1 1/2 after eating 3 piles each time no change in activity
Something is off. I hope you can get him to a vet that treats avians!
It’s his feathers are unhealthy looking hi to the vet. If it’s normal he might be bored. Birds are active so you need to give him lots of things to do. Let him work for his food. Make sure to pay attention if it starts chewing on his feathers and hurting himself he’s depressed and sexually frustrated most likely.
Thanks for the help!
I took him to the vets and they said he has an infection and he has to have antibiotics but he’s much better now Thankyou !
Looks like a husky — the odds are pretty good they will stay blue. What a pretty pup!
Yes he’s mainly Siberian husky 27 days today 🙂
Siberian husky dad mom is a husky white German Shepard mix
Thank you
so they held him there for 3 days they had him on iv fluids vomiting meds and anti flammatory meds they did 7 x-rays . Well they said he was eating real good and holding everything down with no vomiting and was passing his vowel movements but never seen anything in his vowl moments that shouldn’t of been there. Well 1400 dollars later they send him home and not even 24 hours
Not even 24 hours later and he is worse then before I took him. He won’t get up and he won’t even eat.
Thank you. He’s going back tomorrow.
Symptoms are swollen bottom of eye, weepy eyes, squinting and keeping them closed. Since the second dose we noticed about a week into treatment that she opens her eyes about half way every so often. Still squinting and weeping a little bit. Swelling has gone down a lot, but still there. She is also on a daily dose of lysine and has been using it for about a week. After her medication time is over will her eyes continue to improve? Could the swelling just be her eyes irritated from the constant drops?
The vet thought it was an occurance of feline herpes from the stress of the adoption. Our cat had some issues before adoption such as abandonment and broken ribs. But if by Monday we don’t notice any difference we are gonna see the vet again oand see about goimg to a feline ophthemologist if they don’t have any other ideas as to why her eyes won’t clear up.
****Also all vets are closed until Monday. I called everywhere, so in the meantime I’d appreaciate any advice
Go to your vet it sounds like an obstruction and it could be dangerous. With no urination your dog could possibly be developing kidney issues as well. Cysts can develops in the liver and kidneys causing blockage. Those are my thoughts
You have to take her to an Emergency Vet now!!!!
If she can’t urinate her bladder will have ruptured by Monday, and thats fatal…..this is urgent you cannot leave it that long.
Animal vets can be called in this is an emergent. Find an animal hospital if possible
