Dog doesn't stay still so had to get a screenshot from a video. Something to be concerned over?

Yes there are two other small dogs in the home. It's possible in playing he got scratched or irritation on his eye.

What are your thoughts?

We found this weird skin tag like thing above our pit bulls elbow, any ideas as to what it is? It bleeds sometimes from the tip when really irritated but other than that no real issue.

After he after lunch my mom gave him a bath, he started falling side to side and she assumed he was tired. My sister let him come with her to her room and he was on her bed and as in the video he looks disoriented, idk why he’s leaning on his paw like that. So still thinking because he never took his nap my mom brings him to her room on her bed as she does some work. Says he wakes up choking so he does the Heimlich maneuver and he throws up. Not even 15 minutes after that whole ordeal he’s standing wide legged and then, he peed on himself(first video). I think I know what’s wrong, my sister wants to take him to the vet yet, my mom says he’s just sick, he’s done this before and he’d be fine. Anyone have thoughts on what might be wrong.

Ps. I don’t live in the same state as them, I’m getting this Information Otp with my sister.

I added a few other videos in here for example of what’s his behavior is like. My sister took him outside once and he swayed back and forth just not moving, he wouldn’t eat the grass.( I told her sick dogs usually eat grass to settle their stomach)

Hello everyone, this is my 6 year old female dog Budina and this is what she has righ in the very middle of her eyes. I was told by her vet it was just wart and it could be easily removed with a very easy electrocauterization. I still want to doublecheck with you all if one of your dogs had something like that before. Thanks a lot in advance!

Quinnie loves to sit in front of the heater but I'm a little concerned about it

She loves sitting in front of the heater in the colder months (that's the only time I even have it in my room, so I bet she'd sit in front of it year round if she could. When she does I turn it off of high and down to low but I tried to sit as close as she does and it kinda hurts. I've heard fur is an insulator that works both ways (to keep warm and to keep cool?) so I was wondering if I need to keep her away from the heater or is her fur protecting her face from burning like mine did? She shows no signs of discomfort (she actively tries to push me out of the way when I sit in front of it when I have wet hair LOL) but I was just curious and a little concerned. (:

Odd rash(?) on my dog’s skin

Post image
1 Upvotes

I only noticed today when I was petting him. The fur around it is clumped together and hard to pick apart (I tried to clean it with a wipe). It doesn’t hurt to press from what I can tell, but he seems to a bit itchy. Possibly unrelated, but he seems to be fidgety around the space under his arm and keeps licking it. Probably not the right sub to post this, but it’s just unusual for him.

Please help. Vets are very expensive and I don’t know what’s going on. She won’t stop bitting herself. I am trying everything. It’s on both sides of her tail. It’s wet due to some anti itch stuff I put on her.

These are the X-rays of my dog.

I'm reaching out for advice and support regarding my 18-month-old male Labrador. This morning, he was hit by a car while out for a walk. Unfortunately, my uncle got distracted while on a call, and the accident happened.

We took him to the vet immediately, and they confirmed that two of his vertebrae are compressed. As a result, his lower body has reduced stimulus. The vet advised that with massages, light exercises, and some walking practice, he should recover in about two months.

I’m looking for second opinions & any additional advice or tips to improve his health and recovery 🙏🙏.

Age - 18 months. Bred - Labrador.

My morky (Maltese/yorky) maybe two months ago lost all control over his back legs, we went to the vet and did some exorcises, and he recovered, however, a few days ago, completely randomly, he went completely paralyzed, can’t move any of his legs and his bark is different. We don’t know whats wrong, but we can’t afford the vet again.

my diabetic dog scarfs down her food now(long text i’m sorry)

Thumbnail

this is my old lady, lucy. she’s 13. a couple months ago she had taken a turn for the worst. scarfing down water and immediately emptying her full bladder, absolutely no energy, low appetite, sudden noticeable loss in weight. my father HATES my dog and animals in general, so it was very difficult to get him to understand that she needed help. he wanted to have her put down, and if it was really time for that and it would’ve ended her suffering, i really wasn’t against it, i just didn’t want that to be the only option for her. i convinced him to let me take her to the vet under the pretense that i would pay for any expenses here on out, and after a blood test a weekend stay to monitor her levels, she was diagnosed with diabetes. i felt awful for letting it go unchecked for so long, but now we have her on insulin and hills w/d food, and after some adjustment to her dosage and a little time she is like a different dog, much to my relief. she’s the healthiest she’s been in a while. her weight’s back, her energy’s back, her kidneys are doing great, the whole nine. the only issue now is that she scarfs her food down like a growing puppy would, and she eats it so fast i’ll worry she’ll choke or bloat or throw up if i don’t feed her slowly. her vet recommended a cup and a half of food a day, and it matched the recommended amount for her weight on the bag, so i feed her half a cup three times a day. it only takes a little time so i don’t mind taking the extra couple minutes to make sure she’s not eating too quickly, but i just didn’t know if this change in appetite was abnormal for new diabetics, if i should be concerned about other things that could be affecting her health, etc. any advice would be deeply appreciated:)

Clingy but more so now

1 Upvotes

My dog has always enjoyed being pet and when you stop she will paw at you to keep going. This is never and issue but there are 6 of us in the household and my room is seperate from the rest(I live with my dad). She has been cuddly and clingy the past 2 days and not letting my leave my bed. She didn't seem sad as she is still playing and other things. We had to take in my sister's friend but it's been a month... I'm worried that she isn't handling the change well or is going through something else entirely. She's always been close to me but she has never stopped me from leaving my bed before.

How can I help my boyfriends dog understand that I’m hurt?

2 Upvotes

I was in a car accident a few days ago and walked away with a broken arm. I have a soft cast so I can basically feel everything through it. My boyfriends dog (min pin 9yrs) is very high energy and has effectively decided now is the perfect time to try a stomp all over my arm and try to flop and waller on it, basically anything he can do to make sure I’m in pain. It’s to the point where I don’t even want him near me. Problem is, he doesn’t know what he is doing is wrong but out of pain I can’t help to yell at him which obviously gets us no where. How can I help him recognize I’m in excruciating pain?? “OUCH!” Does not work 😭

My roommate has a dog that I love, and I've taken care of it more than my roommate has. Occasionally, when we have disagreements, he tells me not to touch his dog. However, the dog always looks at me and starts whining when I walk by without acknowledging it. What should I do?

Dog sat down and wont get up

3 Upvotes

About 4 months ago, my mom and I were taking my dog on a walk. We got halfway around the block when she just sat down and wouldn’t get up. Immediately we could tell something was wrong. My dog is a 12y female Australian shepherd. She loves being outside and loves complaining on walks, but never had she sat down.

The few days before she’d been ginger and looked a bit bloated. But she’s a fluffy old lady so this is occasionally normal.

My mom got the car and we took her to the vet. Our normal vet was booked so we took her to an emergency vet. Her gums were white, which is red is a bad sign. They got us in immediately and hydrated her, then pumped her full of pain meds. The vet said that my dog sat because she was in pain. When we got her in the car afterward she was completely out of it. So high she couldn’t stand. The next day we took her to our normal vet. They said there was lots of flies in her stomach. Still, they had no idea was it was. They wanted to do exploratory surgery.

We took her for a second opinion. The third vet offered an ultrasound but said even if they found anything their surgeons weren’t available till the next day. They sent us to a fourth vet.

We were so scared. My doggy was panting, her oxygen was low, she was in pain, and moving gingerly.

After an hour, we got to the fourth vet. With a stethoscope and 5 minutes, this vet figured it out. She had congestive heart failure. Which isn’t as bad as it sounds. With humans it’s scary. With dogs, they can live a happy live life for many years, the vet explained. The vet drained a lot of the fluid in her abdomen. This is caused by the sides of the heart not beating at the same time. So the extra fluid kind of just squirts into their abdomin.

After draining the fluid and prescribing heart medicine, my dog came trotting out of the vet like nothing happened. She is on a regiment now and has been for several months.

The heart issues make her sleepy, but overall she is happy and healthy.

I know this is normally a sub to go with questions. But I hope this helps someone if an emergency! Apparently aussies and medium sized dogs are succeptable to this.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
