Hi all. I was taking a nap while my dogs were out in my apartment. Somehow they found a bottle of ibuprofen and Advil & got into it. I’m not sure how much was in it or how much was ingested. She’s a 5.5 month old pitbull puppy, probably around 30-35 lbs. I woke up to her retching & throwing up what looked like bile (really light white/yellow & slimy). At first I thought it was just bc she hadn’t eaten her dinner yet & it had been a while since her breakfast. I took her outside to see if she’d eat grass; she didn’t. But she was hacking & trying to throw up more. Brought her ..read more

My Cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and my Vet and I have been working on figuring out the correct dosage and all that. We're doing excellent on that front but I've started having some concerns. So far, she has been on caninsulin for 28 days. And we're nearly through the second 2.5ml bottle of caninsulin. Now she was on 3 units twice a day for 20 days and is on 4 units twice a day. Now just going off the units to ml on google, I shouldn't quite be through 1 bottle yet; I definitely shouldn't be most of the way through 2 bottles. Something is clearly going on. The idea of being shorted ..read more

My cat started to develope a redness in her eye. Her eye is blue and it started being a little red. Took her to the vet and they said it might be a bacterial infection and sent home eyedrops. Used the eye drops, her eye didnt get better but worse. I started wiping her eyes it used to be only one eye but then it went to the next eye and now its both but the eye that started is worse then the other eye. Then she got diagnosed with “uveitis” and took a blood test from my cat to test whats causing the uveitis (which was 400$) results came back as All negative thank god. It started becoming more a ..read more

He also used to have symptoms for a UTI but I didn't get a chance to get it checked and most of those symptoms aren't present anymore. Going to vet later today's but in the meantime would love suggestions of what this might be submitted by /u/StarCoreYT [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

It happened during the night so idk how long its been. Mendinilla magnifica is only mildly toxic and the leaved have been dead and dry for a month. Both cats seem totally normal, ate their breakfast very happily and had zoomies like normal 5 min after. I dont think they were after the leaves just the high shelf. But basically how are dried leaves with toxcicity (assuming they ate some of it) and do i need to do something except watch for signs in their body langusge or look for vomit? Online its always !!TAKE TO THE VET!! but its only mildly toxic and theyre recent rescues so we avoid taking ..read more

https://imgur.com/gallery/1kdzN7K Dog Bump on foot he has had it for a while now over a few years. Used to just be pink/whitish, and when I touched it there seemed to be no pain or reaction at all. Sort of has a rough texture like a wart I had on my finger. Didn't seem to bother him at all so I didn't think much of it. Recently he's gotten into habit of licking all his paws (another issue he had before but stopped until recently) including licking this paw as well hence why it's a bit red. It's got me concerned now that I have had a second look. Size looks the same as well from when I first s ..read more

Hi, I'm reaching out for some guidance on managing my cat’s recurring skin allergies. He is a 4-year-old domestic shorthair and first developed these allergies last year. The symptoms typically start with pimples on his face, which he scratches until they bleed. Initially, the vet prescribed Animax and steroids, which we applied while he wore a cone. However, the relief was temporary, and his symptoms returned more severely. We then tried Atopica, which effectively resolved his symptoms after an 8-week course of a 15 lb dose every 24 hours. Unfortunately, six months later, coinciding with the ..read more

I was hoping I could get some opinions on whether my dog has an eyeworm or not. I noticed a white squiggly object in my dogs eye today and was wondering if this is an eyeworm. I went back to a picture about a week ago and noticed an abnormality in her left eye in the photo as well. There's no noticeable irritation, swelling, or excessive tearing coming from her eye that I've noticed. She regularly gets dewormed as well. I've contacted my pet health specialist through my pet insurance and they said that as long as it is not moving it is not of concern. I've also reached out to my vet and am wa ..read more
