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 My dog would of been 10 this coming sept. in the past 2 .5 weeks from my dog limbing , not eating dog food only steaks, she gotton a pressure sore on her hind leg which became abscessed. i was treating her with antibiotics the sore was getting better but my dog haley wasnt. she was having a hard time weight bearing. She lost around 10 pounds if not more around her back sides, they were caving in when she was breathing. Haley never made any noise to show us where the pain was.
Avatar n tn my dog had a retribulbar abscess drain on 3/19/2012 , he hasnt ate since and i try o give him his pills but it hurts him and spits it out . What should i do ?
Avatar f tn On Aug. 31st my dog was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. Her creatinine was at a 8. As of almost 2 weeks ago it went down to a 2. I have been giving her 6 cc's of fluid subcutaneously. As also Aluminum Hydroxide Gel, USP 5 mL after she eats. Along with PancrePlus as she basically has chronic pancreatitis since 2011 and I can only feed her either boiled chicken & rice or science diet I/D or she starts to tremble in pain.
Avatar f tn t an abscess can develop either visible from the outside or just inside the rectum. In that case, your dog will need some antibiotics.
Avatar n tn If the lump is actually on the neck, it sounds like an infected abscess....They are extremely painful! She (The dog) needs to see a Vet to have it drained......Oral antibiotics are needed to keep the infection from spreading into the system, from the toxins...... If the lump is farther down between the shoulder blades, then you may be dealing with something completely different......Tumors are prone to that area & it needs to be removed quickly......
Avatar n tn My dog has a bussy sore on the back of his neck which is not getting any better, is there anything I can do? I think this was from a insect bite? was first noticed a week ago as a small lump, it has now spread down the back of his neck.
Avatar n tn My moms dog has a big huge bump under her jaw and we can't seem to find out what it is. She doesn't eat as much and she isn't so playful we are worried if it might be cancer or a spider bite we do not know what to do.
Avatar f tn Is it possible that the dog that attacked her had some infection or disease? My dog was obviously vaccinated (to fly) but I'm just wondering if that may be a reason this is such a long process. I will update as I find out more. Thank you for your comments and concern!!
Avatar f tn Well this does rather sound like an abscess. The important thing is to bathe it frequently with warm water and antiseptic, and try to keep the wound open, so that it will keep draining out all the gunk and pus. Gently squeeze it each time, to see if any more needs to come out. But don't let it heal over until you are 100% sure the abscess is clear. It might be wise to take her in to be checked by the vet.
Avatar n tn What? Have you ever had an abscess yourself? The pain is unbearable.....Your dog will quit eating because of the pain....If left untreated, the infection will enter the bloodstream and he will be at risk of even more serious issues....Abscesses are easy to treat & very common......I recommend having the tooth pulled if given an option.... IMO, not treating his tooth is considered "Neglect" no matter what his age is.....
Avatar n tn I'm so glad you took him to the vet! I'd probably just have the tooth pulled so you won't have to worry about it again. No doubt the abscess is pretty painful for your dog too. Very ouchy, tooth abscesses. I've had a couple myself and wonder if I should have just had the stupid things pulled instead of putting myself through root canal, crown and 10 years later the whole works just breaks off anyway. LOL! We had a dog who lost part of a back tooth.
Avatar m tn I just want to highlight that after the operation the vet told my dad to bring home the dog, apparently after the couple of hours my dog died.. The vet must considered the recovery before allowing my dog to go home..
Avatar m tn He is usually very active and quite the guard dog, cheerful and playful. He is an outside dog, but I brought him in my room to take care of him. I tried to give him nice cold water and even beef jerky as a treat and he couldn't eat it or chew. I saw that the right side of his head was abnormally swollen, mainly around the jaw.
Avatar n tn Kevinpo's comments are spot on. The dog may have an abscess. Get him seen by a veterinarian and treated right away please.
Avatar n tn I just recently recieved a dog from a friend, and the dog is about 5-6 months old. I noticed blood in stool and was wonder why could be the cause.
Avatar m tn My dog is a 9 year old half Lab and Half Golden. Three (3) days ago he went from a active never been sick animal to an extremely ill dog. He is running a fever of 40.6 C is very lethargic. Seems to be trembling and will not even look at me when I walk in. A massive cyst has developed on his neck. It is draining but the color is brown and stinks link excrement. Took him to the vet yesterday, they gave him a shot and antibiotic pills but this seems to be getting worse not better.
Avatar f tn s still a good idea to have a vet or licensed groomer do this - particularly if it happens frequently. Sometimes impacted glands can eventually abscess and cause a lot of pain and mess and the dog will need antibiotics to help it heal.
Avatar n tn My dog just had a litter of three puppies and then about two weeks later she started getting tired and looked very gloomy, she wouldn't eat or walk, and we thought she was going to die.The n a few days go by like this and my dog now has a hole on her breast, looks like a blister blew up. Really need advice and whats wrong and will it get infected if we don't treat it. Thank you for your time and I really appreciate it.
1508589 tn?1289920064 something is tearing my dogs ear and my dog has a hole on her head were she has lost her hair dont know what is going on with my dog
2212714 tn?1342258744 Has the Vet suggested regular anal massage with a damp cloth? Has the Vet suggested a diet higher in fiber? Has the dog had an actual abscess? Is she on antibiotics? If not, I'm surprised. Has the Vet suggested surgery to remove the anal glands? I had a Sheltie years ago that had anal gland problems and eventually had an abscess. I opted for surgery to remove the anal glands and she and I were both happier after that. You may want to consider this.
Avatar m tn Lastly , I tried to give him a treat and instead of eating it striaght away he put it down multiple times before deciding to eat it. Everything is pointing to what I see online as a tooth abscess but I'm not sure I could pay for him to go to the vet at a time like this. Please tell me it's not a tooth abscess and I could stop worrying because there's some small fix I could do for $5 :(.
Avatar m tn Another dog recently bit my dog. He has a small, semi-deep puncture wound. I shaved the area, washed it thoroughly with running warm water, and then rinsed it with diluted betadine. I'm leaving the wound undressed to allow for drainage. Here is a picture of it. Should I do anything more, such as neosporin or a topical anti-biotic?
Avatar n tn My dog has a soft lump under his jaw and this morning his face was swollen on the same side as the lump. His whole face wasn't swollen, just the jowel on the same side as the lump. I have an appointment to take him to the vet but was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what this might be.
Avatar m tn Is the lump red, sore, inflamed? If so it is possible it's an abscess. They are very painful and need draining and antiseptic, and possibly a course of Amoxycillin. But or course it could be something else. Go get this lump checked. If it isn't an abscess, I would advise a needle biopsy. And if the results of that are 'inconclusive', then follow up with an ultrasound scan or whatever the vet suggests. My own dog developed a sudden lump near her tail.
Avatar m tn My dog has a gooey bloody bump under his eye. When pressed with warm wet towel the blood shows on the towel. He scratches it every one in a while and when tried to clean it with a Cotton swab he cries a little. Could it be a stye or a bug bite that got infected?He rarely goes outside though.. If anyone knows of anything i can do to help this heal please reply.
