My dog was getting skinny over the past couple of weeks so we took him to the vet. They diagnosed him with kidney failure (which we already knew he had) and pancreas failure. Ever since his daily treatment at the vet over the past few days (IV treatments w/ electrolytes and minerals...

i fed my puppy solid food before wet food, what do i do?? he is a 1 month old chihuahua

I noticed today that she was excessively licking herself and noticed this when I took her out to use the bathroom.

Anyone know what this could be in my dogs poop. She has had some meat recently and it kind of looked like fat from that possibly but just want to make sure it isn’t some sort of parasite. It was mixed in to her poop like tapeworms etc. Just not sure

Hi, I'm dog sitting my aunties dog since she's on holiday and I gave it a 2inch by 2inch piece of smoked salmon but I didn't know it was dangerous. Now that I've googled it I'm really scared the dog will get that salmon disease and die. The dog is an adult American Akita and I'm not sure but I...

My dog had a papilloma on her chin a few months ago. We ended up freezing it off and it worked nicely. The other day I started noticing one growing where her whiskers are. Is it common for dogs to keep getting this? Is there any way to prevent them from happening?

My (8 years old, F) chihuahua has two lumps in the front of her neck, right at the base closer to her chest. They’re about an inch big and are perfectly symmetrical. Not too visible unless you look at her from a certain angle. She’s also a bit overweight by a couple pounds since her surgery last...

Does this dog look different because its "more fluffy" (i.e., this happens to all Pomeranians as they turn 3) or is the difference in appearance due to significant weight gain?

So first off, anatomy was never my thing so I’m not sure if what I’m describing is part of her groin or technically inner thigh. So if someone can help confirm that for me, that would be great haha. Anyway, my dog lays on her back often with her legs spread open (so lady like). A few months...

Hi ! I just joined because I’ve noticed these white patches on my dogs paw. She isn’t bothered or even touches them. They are on both her back paws. They feel soft almost like I could peel it off myself which is weird. Does anyone have any clue as to what this is? Note: Her vet is booked till...

Hello. I have a bit until we see the vet so I thought I’d come here for advice or by any chance a piece of mind. My chihuahua (spayed female, 8 years old) seems to have a small lump on her belly, closer to her side. It’s a slightly discolored light-pink and a bit firm to the touch. Is this...

Hi , my cocker spaniel puppy paw pads have changed recently. They have look like as if they’ve bee been worn away. They were normally black but now they have softer , pinker parts of each toe n pad on most of his paws. I’m unsure why this is. He does pull on the lead but he doesn’t go for walks...

Good afternoon everyone. I have a 14 year old German Shepherd with dysplasia. His back legs ache and he finds it harder and harder to get up. I asked the vet if I could give him testosterone, nandrolone or some anabolic steroid in case it could help him, because we have exhausted the rest of the...

Hello, My 5 year old boxer has always had stomach issues that seem to come and go. After 3 “flare ups” in about 6 months, I was able to get him in to see an internal specialist. After an ultrasound, endoscopy and biopsies, he was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Inflamed Bowel Disease. The...

The neighbourhood stray dog gave birth to 4 puppies a couple months ago, but only one got adopted. I was away for a while but when I came back one of the puppies had a really seallen leg and had difficulty walking. Do you guys have any idea about what is this?

Hi all, I would much appreciate to find out if anyone has dealt with this before on their dog.. My cockapoo has these little 'spots/pimples' come up on the side of his lips about a year and a half ago. They don't bother him in the slightest but as they started getting bigger I thought I'd get...
