14 y/o dog with spine and walking problems. If no help I’ll put her down
October 9th, 2009My dog is a 3 lb 4oz Yorkshire Terrier.
My 14 year old companion’s back has had a ‘curve’ develop in her back towards her little rump/tail end, with her spine showing (very ‘pronounced’). When she tries to walk, she does so, in an out of control way… gaining speed and falling over or running into something.
She appears to be “frustrated”, as she will sit down abnormally, with her legs both together, to the right side… as if she were being ‘modest’ (not to “reveal” ‘private’ parts) it initially looks cute, BUT she is in obvious pain; sometimes she will reach down and ‘grab’ her foot and gnaw on it, as if she was quite frustrated.
She has been “spewing” considerably lately and is always needing an unusual amount of water, lately.
What (if anything) can I do for my bitch?
Bitch is her name, of course.
I do have oxycontin, baby aspirin, etc. but I’ve been hesitant in administering even a tiny amount, even if the entire pill were pulverized with a morter and pestal, mixed thoroughly (before administering any).
Real pain relief has got to be done or euthanasia would be the only alternative, ‘humane’ answer. In that case, I would assume a good size portion would let her peacefully expire.
Most Urgently Submitted,
J. M.
PS: I forgot two “points”:
1) Her legs are “crossed” when she sits.
2) My wife has had a cold/flu… “spewing”, also; actually… BEFORE Bitch started doing it. Is it possible that my dog contracted an illness from my wife?
I didn’t think human sickness isn’t “spreadable” to our friends in the animal world…
Continued Thanks,

17 day old lab pup has a growth on his head. Help!
October 7th, 2009Hi,
My yellow lab just had a litter of 7 pups. They are 17 days old and 2 days ago one of the male pups developed a large growth on the top left side of his head. It is oval shaped, as big around as a .50 cent piece and it stretches from the base of his eyebrow to back of his head by his ear. It is as if we went to bed one night and it was not there and woke up the next day and it was there.
We have been watching it for 2 days and it has not grown nor has it shrunk. When we push on it, it feels squishy almost as if it filled with some kind of a fluid.
It does not seem to hurt him and he is eating, playing, and moving just like normal.
What is this? Please help!
Thanks!

My dog gets swollen a lot on her face. Advice please.
September 28th, 2009My dog gets swollen a lot on her face. Just this past week under her mouth around her neck was swollen, and it’s sometimes her check, her eye, or lip. We have taken her to the vet and they say it’s an allergic reaction and that we should give her Bendadryl. Which seems to work, but she swells at least twice a month…sometimes more, could this be something else? We have sprayed the house for insects and out, so if she is allergic to something I don’t know what it is?
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

13 y/o neutered male cat with IBS who’s stopped eating
September 26th, 2009Hello,
I have a 13 year old neutered male DSH who has IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) for the past two years.
He stopped eating about three days ago (grain free single-protien diet), and has lost a noticable amount of weight. I switched him to a grain free (poultry) soft food this afternoon and although he is still drinking water, Max has thrown up the moist food twice in the past ten minutes. He kept his meal down for about 2 hours, but what I am seeing doesn’t as though he had begun to digest any of the moist food (still wet, still looks like it did in his dish). My vet’s office isn’t open until Monday, and I don’t have anything to give him medicine-wise. Is there ANYTHING I can safely give him to help soothe his digestive tract so he can eat even a little bit? He says it hurts and he’s afraid to eat.
Any help appreciated–I love him very much and am terrified of losing him.

Emergency – dog is trying to throw up but nothing coming up
September 16th, 2009My six year old black lab suddenly woke up and is “trying” to vomit.
All that is coming up is bile. She acts like something is “stuck” or has a hairball. The heaving is very dry and the hacking is a dry almost scream.
She is healthy, ate a good supper at 6 pm, has access to plenty of water all day. Don’t know what to do for her. There is not an emergency after hours clinic near my home from what I can tell. Need some immediate feedback please. I am in Lake Wylie, SC just south of Charlotte, NC.

2 1/2 y/o Vizsla with a recurring skin rash
September 15th, 2009Our 2-1/2 yr old Vizsla has developed a skin rash on her chest. It appeared two months ago and went away with a course of antibiotics, but now it’s back.
She eats Orijen, a high-quality fish kibble, but also gets occasional food treats. She swims often in an area of Lake Ontario that is probably filled with bacteria.
Is there a systematic way I can begin to treat her, before taking her to the vet?
