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, 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...

Our 5-year-old Black shorthaired dachshund has Alopecia. or so we think, we took him to a specialist and they gave us medication to help prevent and treat his skin and it worked for a couple of months but then when we ran out of his medication and couldn't get a new prescription for a couple of...

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...

I adopted my dog about 3 years ago now. I was never able to get previous vet records and the family didn't tell me too much about her health. She seem healthy other than getting regular UTI's. I am at a loss. I have switched her food, I give her cranberry supplements and we have had many trips...

We noticed my pug's lips are turning pink, particularly his lower lip. We have recently given him a new bone chew to play with, would that have something to do with it? The pink part of his lips doesn't seem like it's raised and is definitely not a bump. Does anyone know what it is? He doesn't...

Greetings all! I'm finally joining a forum to see if anyone has any insights that might help me help my 6 year old pit mix with very severe allergies. I got Dolores at the ASPCA a year and a half ago. They warned me she had allergies, but said it would a sort of out-break and resolve once a...

My miniature pinscher, Daisy who I believe is about 9, develop two large lumps on each side of her body a few months ago and they have slowly gotten bigger. They are both identical, and are on the same place on each side, above her hips and they're hard, and don't move. Her mood has stayed...

Hello everyone. I just want to know if my puppy is bloated. His tummy is round as you can see, don't know if he's just full or not. He ate 3hrs ago. He whines/cries occasionally unlike his 2 other littermates but he was like that ever since day 1 so I'm not really sure.

My poodle has been shaking and scared since this morning. He has been running outside whenever he can, and avoiding the inside. His tail has also been tucked in even when I try to help him to relax. Whenever I pick him up he clings to me. What can I do to get him back to normal?
