lump the no legged dog

Mew. Too. Thanks for helping me deal with my kitty problem. I know I may have solved it unconventionally, but she peed that one time in the bed. I made her stay outside for 2 weeks, she could eat out by the apartment, but couldn't come in to see me at all. The maid would shush her out with the broom when she tried to come in the house. I fed her over by the apartment where she could eat in peace & not be bothered by the dog. I'd sit & talk to her when I brought the food.

If the vet said you should use it then yes, but even when you apply it in the ear it's absorbed and reachs the blood. I'd say wait and ask the vet, maybe just one drop has more drug that your dog can take...just call him on the phone and ask, it's better than spending more money if it happens to be bad for the dog!

It would be worth getting the opinion of a board certified veterinary surgeon, there are several at UGA and in Atlanta (www.acvs.org). Congenital growth deformities occasionally occur in puppies, and sometimes surgery can correct defects. Amputation is also an option, and 3 legged dogs do great, they do not even miss the 4th leg. You can go to You Tube and search "3 legged dog" to see them in action for yourself.

I just spoke with my vet and he did say the dark meat was bad as you said. However he said the breast meat would not hurt the dog. I wondered, because I have given small amounts of the white meat to my dogs. They never had a problem with it. I raise Shih-Tzus and many of the vets in my area have bought them. They know that I sometimes feed my dogs different kinds of meat...wouldn't think they would buy one if I was doing something wrong!

s not cancer -big relief and no more worry. If it is -then the lump has gone, and like I said, if it was cancer, and the lump came off while it was still small, it may well not have had time to get worse or spread. The thing is, you're scared. Plus the fact that you may have heard bad stories about some vets that make you unable to trust. See if you can do some research to find the BEST small animal vet in your area, or even if you have to travel a few miles.

As a bit of trivia, in 1999 (I believe), the AKC voted to recognize the breed as an official AKC breed and the name was changed from the Jack Russell Terrier to the Parson Russell Terrier. Why, I have no idea, I just know that it was changed. :) How much are you feeding your guy? Does he get exercise on a daily basis or is he a couch potato? JRTs (I know, I know, but even with the name change, old habits die hard! LOL!) are FAMOUS for being wonder agility dogs.

The only way to tell for sure is to have a vet look at it. It's impossible to tell what it could be simply from your description of it. Dogs do develop lipomas (fatty tumors) in the area that your dog has the lump, but it could also be something else, so it's best to be safe and have your vet check it out. He may or may not want to do a biopsy to make sure that whatever he thinks it is is correct.

t sound all that old, but since not all breeds have the same life expectancy it depends on the breed whether or not the dog is actually a senior dog at this point. Senior dogs are prone to all sorts of ailments, just like senior people.

The side effects of the drug include poor appetite, lethargy, diarrhea, dyspnea, azotemia, weakness, and ataxia. Therefore the symptoms could be connected. I would absolutely take your dog to see the vet as soon as possible, as this is quite a complex drug which must only be given to dogs with properly diagnosed heart fallure. It should not be given to dogs under 6 months of age, to pregnant or lactating dogs and certain forms of cardiac disease.

I question them because I know that if I were in that situation with my dog, I would be rushing to the vet no matter what the cost. Unfortunately...there are so many people who do not have the financial means to care for their pets when an emergency arrives, and with todays technology, the internet seems quicker and cheaper...and some help is better than none....My heart goes out to not only the owners of these pets, but also the pets themselves...

Unless you want a 3-legged crippled dog who is constantly in pain, you need to find a way to do the surgery. It really is amazing what that surgery can do for your dog. Ours was quite the athlete and we never imagined we would see her back on all fours much less leaping at the frisbee just as she did before the injury. One thing you need to be aware of is that rehab is very important - just like it is for humans.

The lump is at the former scab site. The lump appeared 2-3 days ago and is bigger today. There appears to be no inflammation and he isn't scratching or shaking his head. Gentle palpation doesn't result in any pain response from him, This time there is no scab. No apparent heat. But it is noticeably bigger.

t vote, cause honestly I like Hazel the best, but my bro named his dog Hazel..Geez, he ruined the name for me ;p Honestly I think its a lovely name though! (When I heard her name for the first time, my first thought was that it would have made a lovely name for a cute little girl with pigtails lol) Though my dogs name is Lucy. A lot of names can be used for our four legged kids and two legged ones lol.

When you take your dogs outside, YOU go through the door first, both going out and coming in. YOU are the alpha dog in your family pack, not any of the 4-legged ones. When you feed them, hold their bowls up to your mouth and pretend to eat from them, one at a time, before putting the bowls down on the floor for them. The alpha in the pack always eats first. Here is a link that might be helpful to you while asserting your position in your pack: http://www.cairnrescue.com/docs/NILIF.

The older a dog gets, the greater the risk. So my instinct would be to subject your dog to surgery only if it were essential.

I'm 21 years old, I just finished my period like a week or so ago. I've noticed that my right breast pains when I'm pressing on it. The pain can be pinpointed and it feels as if a part of the breast itself hurts. The upper outer part. I don't really feel a lump but then again I'm not quite sure because I'm not sure how a breast lump is supposed to feel like. So what this could be? I don't suffer from any other symptom. It's just the pain that's bothering me.

Welcome to the forum.......It sounds like an Impacted Anal Gland......If so, it can rupture quickly.......What happens is the tissue literally rips open & it becomes an open wound.....In the Anal area, an open wound is hard to keep clean, obviously & can lead to all kinds of other complications...... You need to see your Vet ASAP to have it drained before it ruptures.......Oral Antibiotics are given for infection......Let us know how he is......

Our mixed breed seems to have arthritis in the paw that had the lump we had removed.He limps when the weather changes.The vet gave us pain pills.Well I work in the medical field and interacted with another vet (Patient) who said to stop giving him the pain pills they would ruin the dogs liver.I had asked out vet about baby aspirin, he stated no it was not good for dogs.Now I am getting this information from another vet who said baby aspirin is harmless and would not hurt Lazy.

s dog Charlie had a lump on his leg took him to the vet was in fact cancer. He had the lump for years and was healthy and happy it wasn't hurting him at all. The vet removed the lump and months later he died from the operation. My eldest dog 'flure' has this huge lump on the inside of her leg for years. She can run/walk normally we haven't found any sign of discomfort on it with her she's been perfectly healthy and she's 13!

The sooner you get him to a Vet, the better the outcome.....Everything I can think of is treatable if caught early...You need to head that way! Please come back & let us know how he is...Don't wait any longer.....
