Avatar m tn for the past two weeks he pants 90% of the time? Even when he is in the house for more than two hours. AC is on. Can this be atributed to the diebetes? He has been diebetic for two years now.
Avatar f tn Blind dogs can manage very well, but obviously it is better to have the cataracts removed if finance permits. Dogs blind from birth fare better than dogs that become blind later in life. You already have an understanding about not moving furniture, etc., and there are lots f things you can do to improve the quality of life for a blind dog, but ultimately they are still compromised ... and some gs deal with it better than others. You didn't cause this to happen.
Avatar f tn It could be Diabetes, that is usually the first thing to look at with these signs. He could also have a UTI infection, but most male dogs don't get them, but they can get them. If it is diabetes, you would give him a shot twice a day and maybe some pills, if it a UTI, then a round of antibiotis. I hate that as our beloved pets get old they get ill, but so do we. Please let us know what you learn.
1627010 tn?1299446388 She has had it for several yrs and did pretty good. I was putting 4 kinds of eye drops in her eyes as often as possible. The last 3 or 4 mos her eye has stopped responding to the drops. I've changed all the drops that I give her, added liver happy and cod liver oil to her diet, and it has helped some. Does anyone have any other suggestions that I might try. I do not want her to lose her eye sight. She loves the world to much to be deprived of the joy of seeing things.
Avatar n tn You need to make an appointment with your vet to see what the cause of the redness is. If it's in both ears, it could be caused by allergies or he could have a yeast infection in his ears. A yeast infection, while not as easy to clear up as a run-of-the-mill ear infection, CAN be cured with medication.
Avatar f tn Before my pregnancy, my dog would only come in my room to sniff around and go back out. Now she comes in and sleeps in my bed literally every night.
851294 tn?1239015716 Unless he is having cluster seizures, in which case he should be taken to an emergency bet, do not home-medicate your dog for seizures. A singular, isolated seizure can indicate anything from low blood sugar to idiopathic epilepsy and should never be medicated for at home until a veterinarian has examined the dog and has given his opinion on what the cause was and whether or not treatment is even necessary. Just hang in there until the vet is open and call the office as soon as you can.
Avatar n tn We have only one in the middle of the yard. We are in winter here in Tx. and it is now empty of leaves. So any bugs that would be present are probably gone. There are some small ones that survive even harsh winter. From her reactions it doesn't bother her, but it does look odd and is not natural.
Avatar n tn Hello, i agree with lindapalm, however depending on the level of hyperness your dog has my concern is if he is jumping up on people or yipping a lot when people enter. What I'd personally do is either spot training or crate training.
7169697 tn?1389437534 My pup is like my child as well and I have also been so worried how he is going to react to a baby being around since he is my baby. I am currently 28 weeks and have been preparing my pup since about week 20. I talked to my vet. Now I am a little on the extreme with my pup. He really is like my child. I have had him since the day he was born. He was the runt and the mom tried to eat him. So he was needle feed by me. So I have a bond with my dog.
Avatar f tn Fingers crossed it's soon the dogs doing my head in haha.
5049711 tn?1364572195 Its been proven that dogs have a 'sixth sense' actually. All animals do. They know when your sick, pregnant, there's something wrong etc. A lot of women in high risk pregnancies (along with people with cancer/Alzheimer's etc) opt to get dogs and rely on their senses. If your animal isn't being overly protective and watchful of you then there is likely something wrong. You can Google this to learn more about it.
Avatar f tn I have three dogs that wont leave my side. Don't worry the dogs will adapt and love that baby more than you think.
Avatar f tn There are times that human medications may be prescribed for you to use in your dog, but ONLY after a thorough physical exam and possible diagnostic testing to determine what is causing the problem. When laxatives are used in dogs or cats without the proper supervision, they have the potential to cause SERIOUS problems. Definitely seek out your veterinarian's help for your girl.
Avatar f tn First time mom, and I'm wondering how people's dogs have adjusted to bringing a new baby home? ! Any tips on how to avoid bad behavior? !
Avatar f tn Hello. I have noticed that the two female dogs in my life. Ones mine ones my mother in laws have all of a sudden changed there behaviour around me. They sniff me all the time want want to sit on me or as close as possible. Im 35 weeks and am wondering maybe if they know something that I dont, seeing as this behaviour only started last week. Anyones have any ideas?
Avatar f tn My dog is a basset hound mix, approx 50 lbs. My mom kept her while I was in the hospital after baby was born, so my fiance could stay with us. My mom has two big dogs of her own. My fiance took the very first blanket the baby was wrapped in to my mom's house, so all of the dogs could get uses to his original scent (before a bath). When we brought the baby home and got my dog back, she was super curious, but gentle. Then she started acting funny with me.
Avatar f tn Yes dogs are smart. My German Shepherd follows me everywhere now even to the bathroom. And when I come out he runs up to me to make sure im fine. He also lays his head on my belly to feel my son move :) 27 days left can't wait.
Avatar n tn Dogs have just as much personality as humans, some kids hate broccoli, some dogs hate dry food, try experimenting with different kinds or mix it with wet food and warm water, and if he still won't eat it, just plan his diet so he gets his vital nutrition without dry food.
Avatar n tn So sorry to hear this but it definitely sounds like this can be serious and would be very hard to give advice in this forum. You absolutely need to get him into the Vet to be checked. No way to even guess what might be going on and it would only be a guess.
Avatar f tn I have a pit!!! One of the best dogs we could ask for!! House trained, listens, couldn't be any better with my son!!! BUT.... Since we found out we are expecting all of his training has gone out the window!!! He doesn't listen, and he keeps peeing on EVERYTHING!!! He keeps peeing every time we bring in new things for the baby!!!!! What am I suppose to do???? It's so bad we are considering getting rid of him, and that's the last thing we want!!! :-( HELP!!!!
Avatar f tn Hi. What to say, other than that 18yrs is an extraordinarily good age. She is a very elderly lady. I have a crossbreed who breathes heavy during the night (actually whenever he's in deep sleep). I wouldn't worry too much. Older dogs sleep alot and certainly aren't as perky as younger dogs. Just imagine a human that's 88yrs old ... as that's the human equivalent for a Jack Russell. Walking sideways is another issue.
Avatar n tn If ALL his glands are up then that points to quite a serious infection or something similar which is affecting his whole system. Just one gland, and it is likely to be something wrong in some part of his body nearest to that gland. But this might not be a swollen gland at all. It might be a hernia....or it might be something else. Only a vet can tell you. Whatever, I do think there IS nothing you can do to fix it yourself. You need to take him to be checked by a vet.
Avatar f tn Anyone expecting a baby and have two dogs?? I know I am not the first one but just a little worried... Anyone else?
