Avatar n tn No, not that i am aware of. Within one year he lost his job, sold our home, his dad died, and our dog died.
Avatar f tn so i was telling people a week ago we have to move into an apartment very last minute because we were evicted. not for a bad thing but because the house we were living in wasn't livable and was dangerous to live in. i found a home for one of my dogs and my friend is currently fostering my other one until we get house. but every since i don't have them here i feel really depressed and lonely and empty and scared.
Avatar m tn Within two to three weeks, our surviving dog seems to have aged as much as the terrier did in HER last six months. Can depression in dogs actually lead to their rapid decline in health? I realize our dog is very old but she has always been so sturdy, so solid. Now she seems to be having problems with her hips, her hind end has suddenly become thinner, she has developed something of an awkward gate in her hind quarters - just like the other one did over a much longer period.

Avatar m tn Please consider a friend keeping your dog, or maybe using a boarding facility.
Avatar n tn 38 weeks and 3 days pregnant and getting very depressed. just put my dog of 8 years to sleep a week ago, could be that. I have no motivation to do anything or talk to anyone. I hope when my daughter gets here I will be happier and it won't get worse. anyone else experiencing sadness before they even had their baby?
Avatar f tn what do you feed your dog? my dog has the same thing and we switched to neutro lamb and rice, it cleared up.
Avatar f tn Being a DOG person myself and having to put many down over the years I know how you feel. I just put my arctic wolf down 4 weeks ago yesterday. Heartbreaking :-( I am on tx and I advise you to get another pet - but not a puppy. Get one a bit older who is already trained. Everyone reacts differently to tx and at times it's hard too take care of ourselves let alone a new pup. It wouldn't be fair to the pup, and may be very hard on you.

190885 tn?1333025891 i;m getting close to tx and i sometimes wonder if i'm going to have trouble eating..i smoke pot once in a while..really not much at all but i do know some things about it...for one it can make you want to eat..i would like to find a pot that doesn't give me much anxiety if i was to need it to be able to eat healthy foods while on tx...so i thought i should start looking for some now instead of waiting untill i'm on tx...finding the right pot would be important to me....
Avatar f tn Has anyone here had their dog go through heartworm treatment before? My husky is on day 5 from getting his HW treatment (immeticide?) We're not suppose to have him move around too much because the decomposing worms may cause an embolism. He's coughing a a hacking cough today and not eating too much. I'm wondering what to expect next.... I hear the coughing may continue for 2 weeks before he's almost in the clear.
1677185 tn?1308971973 Bad reactions to heartworm medication usually include vomiting, loss of appetite, jaundice, diarrhea. I think these symptoms would be more likely to occur during treatment, and not a long time after. He wasn't given treatment at the same time as Heartworm Preventative meds, was he? Because that can cause some dangerous reactions, and no vet should administer both at the same time. And...the medication dose is worked out by the dog's weight.
560272 tn?1311350293 I've had depression/anxiety for 10 yrs now. I've been off and on Prozac (only drug I've ever tried). I was on 10mg-20mg Prozac for the last 2 years, until 6 weeks ago. I weaned myself off. This is the reasons why: I gained 40 pounds in 2 yrs on it, and I still had a great amount of depression and anxiety. And so far, I really haven't been worse off it, about the same. But I'm tired of the battle, the daily battle. I'm totally different now then what I used to be.
Avatar f tn I to suffered sever depression while on treatment had to stop treatment when i got herpes virus in my throat, thyroid dumping buckets in to blood stream and near stroke. woke up one morning w/ right side of body numb ears pounding and ringing and the blood vessels of right eye burst. good luck to any of you who fights this awful dragon as you see it does not work for everyone...
Avatar f tn My dog was diagnosed with heartworms and with him being a big dog his treatment is a bit too pricy. Is there any foundations that are willing to help people with low incomes financially or that offer treatments cheper?
Avatar f tn t keep a good dog down, I still live with depression and have done so since i lost Matt, and i do find it very hard to cope at times, sometimes it seems like forever that i am feeling down, but am always looking for anything that will help me feel less anxies,tired and emotional, at the moment i am taking Saint John's wart it is a herbal remedy that seems to help, i have also tried super multi tablets that are also natural and they make your mind more clearer.
Avatar f tn I was given that, and let me tell you it works wonders and it is safe for the baby (s). When it comes to depression what has been helping me is my dog. We got him 2 months before we started IVF because I was so depressed bc nothing was working. I was having horrible mood swings and didn't wanna do anything. So then my husband and I agreed to get one. Adopting a dog was one of the best decisions we have made. I haven't been depressed or mood swings and now enjoying the pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Today I went to a meeting and did three loads of laundry went to the doctors got my AD dose increased found out I have a ear infection, went to treatment, and just got out of the pool at my complex. For me that is a whole lot two weeks ago brushing my teeth was a lot of work. So I pray tomorrow is a good day also.
Avatar m tn Hi. Can I ask what form of Cushings your dog has? Is it being treated (Vetoryl is I think currently the medicine with the best track record)? Do you know whether a tumour has caused the Cushings and if so has a vet discussed any opportunity for surgery? As Cushings ordinarily presents itself in older dogs, surgery may be ill advised on those grounds.
1305767 tn?1361192676 Getting light treatment completely took away my depression. It took about a month to work, but once it did it was terrific. If I stopped doing the light treatment, 4 days later, the depression would come back. I used just regular fluorescent long tubed light bulbs which I sat about a foot away from. I used a whole stack of them tiered, but you probably don't need to go that far. You feeling tired and no motivation are clear signs of depression. It's probably worth a try for you.
1388999 tn?1370042814 I first got a dog to help me with depression, as I had to take dog out. You are so helpful on the dog forum, bless you. Sorry don't know about Seroquel, just thought I would say hi to you.
