Hi! My dog had a fever 1 week ago (and also a runny nose). I took her to the vet for 3 consecutive days. The vet gave her 4 injections everyday, of which I know for sure that two of them were antibiotic and anti-inflammatory shots. Then he prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory pills for 4...

I recently got my 1 yr old French bulldog trimmed but suddenly after she developed these red spots all over her back. She has had a problem with allergies always because of something in her blood so I don't know if it's cause of the trimming or the shampoo I used to bathe her day before the trim

Hey guys i have a cute little gsd, his name is leo. He is 6 month old. From the start he had been too lazy. First i thought that’s because he is weak or something but even now when he is older he is still too lazy even when he has slept for several hours. I think he is naturally or genetically...

Sorry I'm new to this website, if I make any mistakes please correct me. I'm thinking about adopting this 8month old Jindo mix on a rescue website, however I was told she has hyperopia in her right eye. How serious is hyperopia and does it worsen within age? Should I still adopt this puppy...

On Wednesday morning I noticed blood on carpet. I examined her and didn't know where it was coming from. I saw bruising on her stomach. I took her outside and she peed blood and then all of a sudden blood in her gums. I rushed to the ER and her platelet is 14,000 (dangerously low), Red/White...

Hi dog moms and dads! Today, my dog Pugsley had his first seizure. It was really scary - he started shaking, but also tried to walk at the same time and couldn't. I realized he was having a seizure, and didn't know what to do, because of course I have never read in depth about it before. I kind...

Our 7 year old schnauzer has very suddenly become a different dog...over the last 2 weeks he's gotten increasingly detatched-seeming. He no longer plays or seems to have energy. He isn't as affectionate and his usual normal routines and behaviors have changed. He seems lethargic or depressed...

Hi there, I have a 4 month old female rottweiler. When she was about 2.5months old we noticed a bit of crusting as well as some discharge around her vagina. We took her to the vet and they gave her an oral antibiotic as well as a topical antibiotic. She did say there was something out of the...

My 8 year old Golden Retriever is experiencing what looks like a swollen and inflamed detachment of his gum in one particular spot. I don't know if its gingivitis, or something worse. Just noticed it yesterday but the swelling has seemed to have gone down since then and there is no more...

Hello, I recently brought home a pair of 8 week (now almost 10 week) old Papillon puppies. We've only had them a little over a week and already we are having a variety of problems. The other day we noticed that Abby is missing patches of hair on her face. We took her to the vet and the vet...
