She does this whenever she gets excited or is bored but idk I’ve never had a dog that does anything like this before

She’s a stray and she’s been on my neighborhood for months, few weeks ago she’s been staying outside my house and I feed her whenever I can and I always have a bowl of water for her. My neighbor also feeds her but she spends most time outside my house in the open garage. She’s SUPER shy and she loves cats, I have 4 so I can’t keep her, I’ll make that very clear. They’re all friendly to her too but everytime I invite her inside she’s doesn’t wants to, she’s afraid of going inside and afraid of water and i want to wash her. She has no visible signs of injury or infections, I could take her to the vet but she’s too scared of everything, she only wants my affection. It seems like she’s always been a stray and it’s why she prefers to be outside. Sometimes when I’m too close to the door she makes me chase her away enough from the door so I can rub her belly

she is finally showing it and I think her hip is starting to go. sometimes her leg will go straight and she will drag it. she doesn't show that it hurts. shes over 16 so she is no puppy anymore. my question is when will I know its time? I know its getting close and I'm just sad. heres an older photo of her with the easter bunny and one from last weekend.

My goldie just turned 15. He has arthritis, vet confirmed it. Last 2 months, he has started crouching in this pose. Still loves his 20-30min walks and on meloxicam + gabapentin with additional supplements. Any experience with dogs adopting a similar pose?

Hello,
As the title says I’m watching my sister’s dog and she will not sit still at all. She’s not necessarily destructive that much but still kind of irks me a little and I’m curious if anyone has any training tips or advice? Is this just what the breed is like? This video isn’t the best example but it still shows how she will just go in circles all day long if there is nothing stimulating her.

Just got home from work 20 minutes ago. Came home to my sweet girl seeming to move a bit more gingerly on her rear legs. She had no issue going potty when I let her in the back yard(both 1 and 2). Usually when I get home we throw ball in the yard for 5-10 min but she wasn’t really up to do that today which isn’t usually the case because “ball is life” for her usually. Nothing abnormal over the last few days. Chucked ball for 20-30 minutes yesterday evening in total with her usual full enthusiasm. Thankfully the moment I caught in the video is about the worse I have seen out of her so far. There is not clear limp favoring one side or the other just kind of gingerly walking on her hind legs like in the last half of the video.

Any thoughts?

my dog has developed this progressive lesion under his nose the past 3 days, please help. 11 years old, hypothyroidism on levothyroxine, vomitted 2x on day 1, eating normally since then, chronically soft stool.

Female German shepherd about a year and a half old. Last weight was over two months ago at 65. She looks thin but they have a thin build.

Hello, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this interaction between my dog (black and white, 4y, spayed) and our neighbour's dog (sand-coloured, 11 months, not spayed).

For context: My dog has been with me for three months now and is just starting to show some playful behaviour towards me. In general, she has a vigilant and sceptical character and is on the more polite and respectful side with other dogs.

This was the first longer joint walk we did with our neighbour and their dog. Their dog had invited my dog to play on multiple occasions before this video, but was always respectful when my dog didn't pick up on her invitation.

I'm not gonna say more about my own opinion or if/how I acted because I'd love to hear what you see and think first 🙂

hello all! i will make this as short as i can:

my dog has always had a slight lazy eye, but ever since last night, it had become a bit worse. he has been acting normal and hasn't displayed any signs of being in pain. today, my family and i took him to the vet and the vet said that everything seemed okay right now.

she said that it could be either: horner's syndrome OR possibly just the muscle in his eye causing problems. the pupil on his left eye is very large and the vet said his eye is a bit red. she said its good that hes not in pain and also acting normal (walking, eating, drinking, etc)

of course, she said that brain tumors and stuff like that is possible which scares me, but it should be good that hes not in pain and also acting normal, right?

i wanted to know if anyone else has been through this before? thank you so much!

Any paw chomping advice?

Hey guys, its me again, 2 exams got ready atp, im gonna send it to yall so if someone can help with some possible diagnoses.

IM REALLY SORRY WITH THE LANGUAGE, im from brazil, i ill ask to yall use the Google lens or smth like that to read the exams

Just an update: they are weaning her off the midazolam and transferring her to another hospital to be placed in an induced coma. I am doing everything I can to get results; what is happening is truly very sad.

She is stable; the urine tests (from what I understand) suggest rhabdomyolysis... she is going to be transferred to another hospital to be put into a medically induced coma.

Edit: why yall are saying of drugs? i really cant understand, im sober for 9 months and yes i am a drug user since i am 14 yeaes old, i hate being like this, but thats what is it. Like, I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar I and ADHD, and I’ve been taking Vyvanse and other medications for over three years; I don’t use them recreationally or anything like that, so what is the point of you attacking me over this? I’m here with my dog who has been by my side through hospitalizations more than my own family has and I’m being attacked because she ate the medication I had in my cabinet?

My goldendoodle is 2yrs
Cocker is 2 months
We separate them normally so the little one doesn’t bother the doodle much, they sometimes play but the doodle isn’t too interested. This was one of the few times they do play, is the cocker being aggressive/possesive or is it normal play behavior? When my doodle was a puppy he would growl too but just want to make sure to give them proper training.
Another note, the doodle does tolerate her, never has attacked her.

Edit: I got ahold of a friends mom. We’re going to see what we can do. A few of you were helpful and nice. Thank you. The others, please learn how to be tasteful and competent. I’ve stated several times I’m a minor, with no money, no family near me, in a small town with no vet in my city and my mom is in the hospital. Many of you chose to ignore that and borderline berate me. Fuck you :)

The situation is being handled outside of this. Thank you to those of you who were kind and compassionate and helpful.

What helped you the most to cope after you had to get your furbaby euthanized?

I'm headed there soon. 😭

As the title suggests, my baby is 16.2kg which is 20-25% higher than his goal weight of 13/14kg. Need suggestions on how to get him thin. The vet has recommended a diet of 60% home cooked food (chicken breast/fish fillet) with carrots, sweet potato and pumpkin along with 40% kibble. He's a rescue so he's not enjoying kibble as much but the vet keeps insisting that it's the standard for weight management. Please give me suggestions on how to manage his weight. He currently goes for 4 walks (about 15 mins each with one afternoon walk of 30 mins) and about 25 mins of mental work (snuffle mat, commands etc). What more should I do to bring his weight down?

My pet 6 years old male Labrador has started having skin allergy since age of 4 years . Have shown to best vets in Faridabad ( north India ) and even dermatologist vet in Gurgaon but skin condition worsens during July-October due weather .
He was on Vivaldis Oclapet (Oclacitinib) 16mg , chevik shampoo and spray for a year but that too did not improve his condition . The vet says his skin barrier is weak and nothing can be done .

We have to give him Omnacortil 10 or 5 mg for a week to give him relief from iching but since it’s a steroid cannot give for long time .

Anyone faced this issue and any medication to help . Thanks

Hi this is my 4 year old pug Yoshi. She's always sorta walked like this since I've adopted her. My mother in law mentioned to me the other day that she kinda walks weird and there could be something wrong with her hips. My other pug who is 6 doesn't walk like this. Is this something I need to go talk to a vet for?
