I'm watching my sisters pitbulls and fed them four raisins each. I had no idea that they were toxic to dogs. They both weigh around 60 to 65 pounds. This was about an hour ago and they are showing no symptoms. I have no money for a vet or any money whatsoever. I have been worrying over this...

Every once in a while, if my dog tanks up on water, he gets the "licks". Where he almost has hiccup-like jolts and licks the air profusely. He will work up and start destroying and eating anything he can get ahold of. He eats until he gets himself to vomit. I try to "burp" him, but it doesn't...

Hello guys, I have a 3 years old Bichon Maltese, when I first got her as a puppy she learned so quickly. Every day till now she doesn't eat breakfast except 1 or 2 treats, on lunch I put the food in her plate but she always eat after we finish lunch at the table. As a dinner sometimes she eats...

What is this?! She’s constantly licking and hardly lets me look down there, not sure if it’s something I should worry about. I’ve always noticed discoloration but just now noticed the black buildup. I tried washing and it doesn’t come off. Help! She’s a pointer mix I rescued as a puppy about 5...

In March our 4yr Shiba began whimpering randomly (not often) but the whimpering gradually progressed and we found out that she has a slipped disk. We have not taken her for a scan but it seems to be at the base of her neck; when she is in pain she will not raise her head and she will cry when...

Hello! First time poster here. I’ve recently discovered a strange hard object sticking out of my 10 year old cockapoo’s back, near the base of his tail. I thought it was a tick, but on closer inspection it seems more akin to a giant blackhead. He didn’t care if you touched it, but got mad when I...

Hello, I have a 5 year old female chihuahua. A few days ago I noticed a white bump on her leg. She has never had this before so I’m worried, as I do not know what this is. I’m not sure if this requires immediate attention (due to COVID-19 I’d rather not leave the house unless absolutely...

My dog, Hannah, almost died last week after, i believe, ingesting something unknown. Had diarrhea and vomited everywhere. Brought her to the hospital and found out she had pancreatitis. She stayed for 6 days on IVs, but she would not eat anything until just recently, thank God! She’s has had...

I was wondering if my dog has worms. I haven't seen any in his fecal matter or his fur, but his coat is very rough and dull towards his tail (like his butt and hips) and he does tend to "scoot" a lot. These are the only signs he has, so I was wondering could it be worms or should I take him to...

Hey everyone! Along with a team of dog lovers, we are creating a new health tracker for dog owners that commute long distances to work or travel a lot. I would really appreciate it if you could fill out this survey about the pricing of this new business idea. It should take less than 3...

Hey, I have a ~50 lb German Shepherd mix. The boy likes to jump up on us and put his paws on our chest. Last two days we've noticed him yelp more than once while doing this. These are clearly cries of pain and I haven't seen him make the noise in any other activity. We have seen no obvious...

My 12 year old Toy Poodle has some welts on his skin. We live in a tropical area, with an overabundance of fleas, lice and ticks. He used to have a lot of these, and that may be one of the reasons why he has these welts (due to scratching). However, during the past 3 months he has been...

About a year and a half ago, I noticed these spots on my pitbull's legs. They don't hurt her, but I know those are hair follicles. I've asked the vet multiple times and she has not given me a direct answer. I don't think they're life threatening, but they keep popping up all the time, and...
