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.

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.

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,

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

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

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.

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.
Benny
