I have a puppy who was just bitten on the head by an older dog. There's swelling, and the dog is getting less responsive. We have no transportation, and when I called the Vet, they couldn't help me..
my puppy got hi by a bigger dog and when he trys to walk wabols over i dont know what to do
I Recently took my 10-12 day puppy to the vet she is a female(She Has No Mother Was Abandoned) she was dehydrated and constipated we've been giving her the antibiotics and vitamin liquid that the vet gave us and the at home enemas that we have to give her but she ran out of enema medicine and still cant "go" on her own we've been trying the warm rag on the anal area to stimulate her to go but she still hasnt,,she is very bloated and gags occasionaly,and when she gags it sounds like fleam,,i was given advice about giving her a home made enema (The Home-Made Enema Consists Of Warm Water And A Few Drops Of Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice And The Syringe That Will Be Used To Inject It Lubricated With Vegetable Oil On The Outside) I was wondering what to do about the fleam issue ,and if the home made enema idea was Safe And Effective?
So I have lost 2 out of three dogs in the past year. The first one was like 18, Koko, and it was just his time to go because of all his conditions and pain. Like six months later I noticed spots on Luie and told my mom to take him to the vet because I thought he had some type of baldness issue.... she put it off and put it off and when she finally took him it was revealed he had bone cancer and we had to put him down like a week later. the vet said that when a brother, Koko, dies they sometimes just start going down hill after. Now I am worried about my dog Kaylee, it is obvious she is lonely and misses them. she has been getting gunk stuck in between her paws and her actual paw is rough and kinda like really dry torn heels on humans. She also keeps on nipping and trying to get something out on her legs but I only find white little centimeter spots. today I found a bump on her chin and cloudy stuff in her eye. I have been after my mom to take her to the vet for a checkup but my mom is putting it off due to money issues. How can I convince her...? does this stuff my dog is going through normal?
Thank You

My 14 years old Husky mix girl is on her Trilostane 120 mg medication for almost 2 years and or Levothyroxine 0.6 mg for almost 3 years.
4 months ago I add to her diet a "Fresh Factor" supplement and her body respond beautifly - her furr is back to almost full glory!
For last few weeks I'm trying to introduce a "Bug-Off" garlic supplement (trying to avoid ticks in Wisconsin !!), but she is getting very unconfortable at first (crying,pacing and sometimes vomiting) and later she is very lethargic.
I know - my old dog has a "good" and "bad" days - we live with a hypothyroidism and Cushing disease for a long time.
My Question:
Did garlic supplement interfere with other medications or my dog is allergic to it?
She was expose to garlicky food all her life.

In urgent care situations you will waste valuable time looking for phone numbers and directions to your closest Animal Emergency Clinic. Do that now and post this information in a place you can find it quickly. Just as you would your own ER! Being prepared like this will save you very precious minutes - and in some animal emergencies that can make a real difference.
My 30 yr.old horse had what looks to be some kind of Dermatitis on his underbelly about where the gurth would go. ( he has been riden in 2 yrs ) I work for a small animal vet, so I sent a calu/senti to our lab, waiting for results.
I' m useing surgy scrub 2 x's daily to clean it and Furosone topical until I get results of test back Monday-tuesday. Is this enough or should I do something more? It is looking about the same as it did 3 days ago just not so wet. It is about 10 in X 5 in and not spreding now. He is still eating grain and grass and drinking normal. Thankyou for any infor you may have!

I had a pet that had that issue and it turned out to be kidney stones causing the difficulty.

I forgot to say this before....if you scroll down the page, on the right you can find, under RELATED EXPERT FORUMS : "Ask a Vet(Pet health)" where you can post your question to a vet here.
Marnan, so sorry you had to wait so long, your post got 'buried' here, (I never think to look here, just look on this header post as a permanent fixture, and didn't notice you had posted under it.)
The only sure-fire way to tell if a bone is broken underneath all the swelling is to have an x-ray done.
If you have any other questions, it would be best to make a completely fresh post, so that others will see it and pick up quickly on it.
Best wishes
My Pit-mix injured her rear right leg on Saturday while playing. I took her to the Vet on Sunday..he fely her leg down..NO YELPING or indication of pain. We agreed to give her medication and wait a few days before doing x-rays (financially smart AND no MAJOR indication of broken bone as she was putting 10% of her weight on it). it is Wednesday and she is still limping..she will 'forget' and occasionally put weight on it. she still limps...it seem to be the 'ankle' right behind the pads of her hind right leg (that joint)..she sits on it, stretches it out, climbs steps - most of the time favoring this leg. it sometimes looks a little swollen-no a lot and when I felt it, she jumped...only in that spot. is there a way to tell if her 'ankle' in broken? fracture, pulled muscle, ect can't do anything about..but I want to know if I can tell if it is BROKEN from here before I take her for x-rays.
