I got my female chiweenie mix dog spayed Monday (12/16/19) and now she growls at everyone. She's shaking and she wouldn't eat that much or drink. She is on previcox 57 mg 1 tab daily for pain. I don't know what to do since everyone is telling it is a normal reaction after surgery but I can't...

Hi everyone. My husband & I have a big decision to make about our 8 year old Golden Retriever, Maya. If you're on this forum, I'm guessing you love dogs as much as I do, and I'd value your input. Maya ruptured the CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) in her hind leg 3 weeks ago. We finally got...

I am not certain if this is an emergency situation. My 4 y/o frug (french bull x pug) had TPLO on July 25/18. We have been babying him, perhaps even more than most, since his surgery - confined area, no playing, running, jumping, incline, stairs. We have been following our surgeon's...

Hi, My 2 years old black lab Daisy was spayed on Tuesday. She returned from the vet and appeared ok. She ate a small meal later that day and, although quiet, did not give us any particular cause for concern, although she was finding it hard to control her pee. The next day she also seemed quiet...

Hello, My 7 month old puppy got spayed yesterday. She had a bit of complications and required them to go back in an add another stitch. She's eating and drinking normal, and seems to be in higher spirits but she refuses to lay down. She's taking pain medication but only every 12 hours. She...

Thsi is my first dog. just not sure what's normal, but my gut is telling me this isnt? i'm a total novice, so just wanted some other opinions before I take any big action... disclaimer - hard to get a good picture. the incision isn't actually this close to the scrotum but the way my dog was...

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum and came here because I am desperate and don't know what to do. My 13-ish year old beagle Rooster has recently been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism, a rare disease that causes the parathyroid gland to become hyperactive, causing large amounts of calcium to...

Background: Earlier this year, our 10 year old beagle developed a growth on his eyelid. A bright pink cauliflower-style growth that would get bigger, break off in small pieces and regenerate every couple of weeks. He didn't appear to be in any pain or distress, but obviously we were concerned...

I posted a thread recently about my Newfie with carpal laxity. Carpal laxity usually occurs in large breed puppies and usually clears up with proper diet and exercise. I did everything the vet said, but my dogs' problem did not go away. We went back to the specialist today who said he would need...

Is the pain of hospitalisation and surgery worth the outcome? Do you have personal experience with more difficult surgeries on your dog? After going to 4 vets, we have learned that our little mix-breed rescue doggie has what is highly likely a bunch of stones rolling around (and also stuck) in...

Hi, So I have a 10-11 lb Terrier. After she's spayed, she will be on crate rest for 7-10 days with restrictions on running, stairs, jumping, etc. What is the safest way to actually pick her up, so as not to cause pain or damage to her spay incision site? Right now I tend to pick her up a...
