neck

Avatar f tn Can anyone give me any advice on what they do to combat neck pain. I'm in agony with it and have been given no pain relief from my doctor.
Avatar n tn My dog has what seems to be an abscess on his neck. It's underneath on the side. I only noticed when petting him. It doesn't seem to hurt him, he still has his appetite, and is as playful as ever. Do you think this is something I can treat by cleaning with a warm compress and peroxide?
Avatar f tn It did not really hurt but felt very stiff, as the day progressed I started to have pain in my neck but also my ankles, soon it was my wrists. By the next day all of my joints hurt so badly that I had a hard time walking. I called the Doctor who prescibed anti inflammatories and muscle relaxers as well as pain meds but didn't seem too concerned. Today i have severe pain in my hands and knuckles. This has happened so suddenly I had absolutely no warning.
Avatar n tn Swollen glands in dogs can be caused by anything from something fairly minor, like tonsillitis (yes, dogs do have tonsils) to very serious illnesses like canine lymphoma (cancer), so make an appointment so that she can be seen as soon as you can. Please let us know what the vet said.
Avatar n tn Yes, if groomers are busy, they will often put wet dogs in cages and many actually use dryers that will attach to the cage to dry the dogs, or start the process. Unless you have a ne rosy done, you just may not get a definitive answer. Did you check with the Vet they took him to? So very sorry for your loss.
Avatar f tn m grateful for any input. I am a member of a couple of forums for dogs with CM/SM and a research site for dogs with this disease. I mainly wanted to know what drugs helped you. I understand that dogs with this condition suffer the same as humans, and infact the human researchers are working very closely with the canine research team as the condition is affecting both animals and humans the same.
6669309 tn?1462648142 Arthritis is very common in older dogs and the longer dogs live the more common it is becoming. Nutritional supplements Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are two substances that have fast become the standard treatment in canine age-related arthritis. These are often sold as a single combined substance in good pet shops and quality supermarkets. Alternatively, just look up "Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate for dogs" on Google and you should find a supplier.
Avatar n tn We took him to the vet several times for x-rays, but only recently did our veterinarian suggest that it could be a cervical disc problem. She put pressure on his neck and he showed signs of pain, but you could tell he was afraid and trying to hide it. He didn't show pain when she moved his neck from side to side though, so she said it was mild. She is treating it with rimadyl when necessary, but it's hard to tell if it helps.
Avatar n tn t turning his neck and his neck started throbbing. We took him in again to the vet. The vet x-rayed his neck and said he has a slipped disk. Question: Does anyone believe that the dental tooth extractions could have caused the slipped disk in his neck? They said that he must of had a degenerative disk in the first place. However, we have never had problems before. Because the vet gave us muscle relaxants and rimadahl to give for pain management, his pancreatitis flared up again.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say the dogs neck is bending to one side? Do you mean that the dogs head is tilted towards the left, and her neck is bent causing the head to tilt...? If so, your 13 year old dog could have a condition known as vestibular disease. This disease will typically affect older dogs, and makes it difficult for the dog to walk.
Avatar f tn s been also having a problem with pain in the neck, maybe ears... But she yelps when she pulls herself forward in any laying position. She almost stiffens up in the neck and shoulder area. She loses her spontaneity and almost acts like she was abused. She woke me up at 230am stuck on the couch cuz she couldn't get down. I gave her ibu and moved her, but when I got up she was sitting in the floor and when I got her to get back on the couch again her paws were cold to the touch.
Avatar n tn You need to get him to his Vet ASAP.......Shaking is a sign of pain......Pain will lead to not wanting to eat.......Please, don't wait any longer......He needs to have treatment.......
Avatar f tn She seems as if at the back of her kneck she has the pain. Any suggestions? Can I give her OTC human meds for pain?
Avatar m tn Welcome.....You did it correctly! :) Shaking & Hiding are classic signs of pain! Of course, you need to determine where the pain is coming from.....You don't mention what breed this is, and there are a multitude of possibilities.....Too many for us to just guess..... Since, you've also noticed a lack of appetite (Also a sign of pain), it would be best to get him to his Vet ASAP before things get worse...... Let us know what you find out.....
Avatar f tn I got my warnin today, but the only reason they came was because another house on our street has poodles on chains with telephone wires around their neck as collars. So everybody on my street has to give up their dogs because we all have pits on chains. My dogs are too big to be ina house & too playful to be around me at the moment because they try to jump in my stomach. But we've always had them chained & they're not aggressive at all.
Avatar n tn t want to hurt herself. Her neck seems a little puffy and she seems to get somewhat more sensitive around her neck. She has been taken to two vets. One did a range of motion tests with her to make sure of pain in her joints or neck and she never yelped when the vet checked each extremity. They also did an urinalysis on her and everything was normal, The vet figured it was muscular pain and gave her a pain medication to take, but she still looked and acted sick.
Avatar n tn I give my dogs a neck bone from time to time. They do not splinter and they have to really chew and chew to break em up. But, it has to be neck bones and no other kind. In a dogs world, the bones and occasional raw meat clean their teeth. I went thru the cleaning thing with my last one and have been researching it.
655875 tn?1295695107 Hey ya'll. It's been a while since I've posted here, but I'm still in severe chronic pain and working with PM and trying to find a way to make the pain better. I've wanted a dog for the last 10 years, but hubby is not a fan of dogs. I didn't want to get a puppy without him being okay with it. After being in severe chronic pain for a year, hubby decided to surprise me and get me a large kennel for mothers day! YAY!
Avatar f tn Can dogs sense labour is coming? My dogs been like a bloody shadow tonight locking my belly and following me everywhere....
Avatar n tn my dog has a lump on the side of her neck...not in the middle--more under her cheek. she is a boston terrier and is overweight and has a couple of soft fatty tumors on her body but this lump on her neck is new. I just noticed it today and its abt the size of a golfball, soft and she doesn't cry when i squeeze it gently. what could this be? It doesn't seem to have a head like an abscess would.
