Foot bones in dogs

Common Questions and Answers about Foot bones in dogs

foot

Avatar n tn I had a dog who buried half-chewed rawhide bones all over the house - in potted plants, behind curtains, even under furniture cushions. It's an instinctive behavior for dogs, and some dogs simply have a higher drive for that kind of behavior. That said, I suspect your dog may be a bit bored and frustrated. Since this behavior is so common and your dog is whining at the same time, it's becoming more of an obsession than a game or an instinctive thing.
536929 tn?1217872077 t seem to be in any pain now, unless I touch her in the shoulder area, or the foot area. Otherwise she is not crying or fussing, she has been mostly sleeping. (And she ate her big supper which was long overdue, she is anorexic so she had not eaten for about 10 hours....) I took her to the vet clinic, but no-one saw her. Tomorrow my vet's office opens at 8:30 and I will be at the door when it opens.
203342 tn?1328737207 Our oldest dog, a 12 yr old Akita, has been acting "like a puppy" too. When we moved here two years ago, the fire alarm actually scared the poop out of her. We only moved about two blocks away and she wan't afraid of the old fire alarm which sounds just like this one. Maybe dogs react to different sound frequencies. She is also "big sister" to three young dogs.
Avatar m tn 2 days puppy head injury my brother put on foot puppy head recently blood come puppy mouth please help what i can do know
Avatar n tn Did he puke? If it was something he couldn't handle, he'd probably puke. This was just meat? Not chicken bones? If it was bones, see the vet. If just meat, then dogs' digestion can usually handle what would make humans ill. Dogs can scavenge a bit, and get away with it (not that they should!) Sometimes they can eat things that would make you sick to even think about. Obviously if he shows signs of bad diarrhoea or vomiting more than once or twice I'd take him to see the vet.
Avatar m tn If the infection goes into the bones and you develop osteomyelitis you may have to have your foot amputated so this is not an insignificant issue. Go to general quarters.
Avatar n tn For the last 6-8 weeks I have been having pain when I step on my feet in the morning, it feels like the bones in the top of my foot are pressing together, I generally goes away once I walk on it until I sit a while. Until later in the evening it beguins again. Lately though it feels like a nerve or something is being pinched in my shin and I have to take ibuprophen before going to bed so that it doesn't wake me.
Avatar f tn Mine do that! Even if I move my foot my hips crack and pop. It's normal. Mine started doing it at 22 weeks.
Avatar m tn I don't know if Rain has a digestive disorder or not, but he's not getting a biologically appropriate diet. The diet that you are describing has no calcium in it to speak of, and that is a huge problem. Dogs need high levels of calcium. Also, I second ginger899 in questioning how your dog has been able to become overweight on the amount of food you describe. That's not very much food. As for the teeth, most pet dogs' teeth require cleaning by a veterinarian every so often.
Avatar m tn Sadly, owners are not well informed about the huge dangers of giving dogs bones, of any description. Bones are also still being sold in supermarkets and pet stores - and some of us are battling against this, largely unsuccessfully. Bones are very dangerous, despite the myth about dogs and bones going hand in hand.
Avatar m tn 2 days puppy head injury my brother foot on puppy head and bleeding start please help what i can do know?
Avatar f tn The surgeons had to operate and take a small piece of bone from my right hip and placed it between the 2 bones in my right foot to try and rejoin them. Unfortunately I continued to have pain until it eventually became really difficult for me to walk even 100 meters. I went back to the hospital where a scan and X-rays were done. I went through a second operation last year 2010 to remove the pins/metal that was inserted previously.
Avatar n tn Hi, just wonering how you got on. Cooked bones (chicken or not) and dogs, don't mix. I'm always REAL careful with my cooked bones and make sure the dogs can't get them out of the bin. I learnt to be paranoid about it when one of my friends' lost her little dog because it knocked over the bin and ate some bones. Despite having surgery her dog died. She was devastated and guilt ridden. I hope things went well for you and your dog.
Avatar f tn I went to urgent care got x-rayed and have a broken foot. The Dr. there refused to set the bone even though they were extremely slow that day. Seems the orthopedic drs. In town don't like them setting the bones. They want to set the bones themselves. That's ok but I'm sitting here in extreme pain for 5 days trying to get in to his office to get my bones set. I am planning on giving the dr. An ear full Monday morning, but there should be a law where this is not allowed.
Avatar f tn Demodectic mange is associated with a defect in the dogs immune system. Demodectic mange does not usually cause dogs to itch, as opposed to Sarcoptic mange which causes intense itching. Revolution, a monthly topical for fleas works like a charm to clear up Sarcoptic mange. The protocol used to treat mange is different than that recommended for fleas. Veterinarians use Revolution at 2 week intervals, topically until the mange lesions are cleared.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn my rite leg is several inches shorter than my left because of a operation on rt foot three years ago . my rite foot is not normal. the bones have collapsed .
Avatar f tn I had my neighbour throwing chicken bones over to my dogs, like that seriously could of killed them!! You never feed dogs chicken bones.. Anyways I went over and explained n they apologised.
Avatar f tn To take it to another venue, many people believe (because they heard) that chicken bones are bad for dogs and you should NEVER give your dogs chicken bones. Guess what, that is only true for cooked chicken bones. Raw chicken bones are perfectly fine (and healthy) for dogs. (See "Give Your Dog A Bone by Ian Billinghurst DVM).
