My pooch has a tumor :(

Friday, July 11th, 2014

My pooch I had since I was little has tumor, we need to shave him or he will have a heat stroke and my mother wants to put him down but I don’t want because I knows there’s still hope, I love him and I think getting him shaved will offer relief. How would I do that? Do I tell the vet he has tumors ? I need HELP please.

My pooch has been lurching and losing her balance. Please help!

Friday, July 4th, 2014

I have a chocolate lab that will be 8 in a couple of months. Her hunger is alright, she appears spunky and energetic yet. Yet she stumbles going up stairs, when she’s strolling around she looses her balance. I have a meeting with the vet, simply attempting to do some preparatory exploration to see what I may be expecting out of this.

How should my border collie with pancreatitis be kept up at home?

Wednesday, January 8th, 2014

I found our today my 2 year old border collie has a mild case of pancreatitis.    She stayed in the vet for several hours getting fluids and some medicine into her body. Now we are at home and I feel that I need to do more for her. She still is very tired and lounging around. A little bit of nausea as well. Any suggestion?

Why has my dog developed a taste for deer droppings?

Friday, November 15th, 2013

My dog snacks on it whenever he can find it. I’m not really sure why though. He eats Innova dog food. Could it have something to do with cold weather?

Thank you,

How can I splint my dogs leg, while letting the pressure sores heal?

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

Recently my dog had surgery on his hind leg as a result his front leg started to bow.  So, the vet put his front leg in a splint, which then developed pressure sores that need to heal, but the vet kept putting a splint back on his leg and it keeps getting worse.  I am not taking him back to that vet anymore.  The leg needs to heal and the only way the sores can heal if they have air and antiseptic.  Please help. – Amber

Please help. – Flor

7 year old Border Collie has hip dysplasia

Thursday, September 5th, 2013

I think my 7 year old Border Collie has hip dysplasia. He had hip problems last summer but he got well with plenty of gentle activity and good food. Now it has started again. Two days ago he was as right as rain and then suddenly his back legs collapsed. Now he can only shuffle. How can I help him? I can’t afford a vet. tomorrow I am taking him to the vet. I can’t stand to see him suffer, I need to help him. – Rosie

Can my dog get lyme disease from a kennel?

Monday, June 3rd, 2013

I boarded my dog at a new place.   A few days after she got home she started limping and was lethargic.   I took her to the vet and she tested positive for lyme disease.

She is on antibiotics and is fine now, but I can’t help blaming the new kennel.  Could she have been bitten by a tick from another dog at the kennel and developed symptoms within a week?

Thanks.

How do I excercise my dog during the summer heat?

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

Summer is coming up soon and where I live, the average temperature will reach over 100 degrees F. Even at night, the weather is unbearably hot.

I have a jack russell terrier who needs a lot of exercise but I’m not sure how to do that when it starts getting too hot. The average weather right now is around 90 degrees F. I’m already having trouble getting my pup enough exercise and it’s not even summer yet.

Thanks.
