weight loss

Lizzie, my four-year-old Norfolk Terrier, who is in excellent health conditions, needs to lose a little weight in the next couple of days to a week. I study in the north of Spain and am traveling to the US for a month, for summer courses. Her usual weight is around 6,3kg (13.89lbs), but due to...

Need suggestions. Background: My daughter has a terrier that was found stray several years ago. We don't know his age but suspect he is quite old now. He has always had chronic ear infections but they don't seem to hurt him. He is pretty much deaf now. He is on antibiotics for them quite...

I just arrived in Louisiana today to visit my mom for christmas. The first thing i did was go into the back yard to play with the dogs (my mom has 6 pits bulls). I was shocked to see that all of them are really skinny and they each have open sores/lesions on their legs and are really...

Has anyone experienced kennel cough and pneumonia lasting more than 2 months? My poor dog has been in and out of hospitalization, this being his longest at 2 weeks. He's been on 5 different medications now, with his recent being administered via an IV catheter. There has been no improvement in...

Hi, I joined this forum in hopes that someone can help me out. I adopted my male pomeranian (Sparky) almost ten years ago. The vet thought he was about four or five at the time, so we assume he's around fourteen or fifteen now. About two years ago he was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. Our vet...

We have three dogs, two chihuahua mix breeds (Pancheto 2 1/2yrs & Tinker 3yrs) and a poodle mix (Lucky 1 1/2 yrs). Lucky and Tinker are very active and thin bodied, but Pancheto has gotten lazy and very fat. We recently put all three dogs on Iams Weight Control dry food but it does not seem...

This is my first post. Hello everyone! Sofie is our greyhound, Maggie is the Chiweenie rescued mutt we just adopted last week. We think Maggie is deaf. I'm taking her to the vet today. She's now 17 pounds, when originally rescued in April she was 27lbs! The rescue group has really worked at...
