I adopted a 1.5 year old golden retriever 6 days ago and now have some questions on variety of topics and would appreciate any help! Paw adjustment to concrete: My dog's previous home has a suburban house with a decent size grassy back yard on a hillside. She loves to play fetch and wonder...

Hi, My wonderful cute french bull dog who is only 6.6lb (below the growth curves for her breed) fell of the bed. I went to grab her when she got to close to the edge and she thought that meant play so she scooted back and fell off the bed backwards. I took her to the vet ER immediately they...

Hello! I've been to three vets already, and none of them have any real answers, so I thought I'd see if anyone here has thoughts. My 9 year old Chesapeake bay retriever Maximo has had significant stiffness in his front right leg since 6/18/17 after an 8 mile hike. His xrays were perfect, and...

This morning I noticed that Max has a little sore on his front left paw, right between his toes. Sorry the pictures aren't very good, he wasn't too thrilled about us touching it. :P Does anyone have any idea what this is/what caused it? What should I do? Just leave it or is there something I...

2 days ago, my dog Noggin and his best friend Luna were wrestling and doing their games, when Noggin's lower jaw got caught under Luna's collar (2 PetSafe break-away collars just arrived in the mail for them!) It was quite a tense situation, one dog was screaming in pain, th other gasping for...

I'm an owner of a 10 yr old male Maltese. Today he jumped off of the porch and something went wrong. When he landed he let out an extremely painful yelp/cry. He is hesitant to put any pressure on it. I picked him up and tried to see what was wrong. He let me touch his leg and move it. I extended...

It turns out, what I thought had been an ongoing thing was a recent injury. Kidogo started limping on Wednesday night, so we brought him to the vet on Thursday and again on Friday for xrays and diagnosis. He has a partially ruptured cruciate ligament and because of that a meniscus injury...

It started out as a goofy thing. My husband noticed that when Kidogo went down the stairs he only used three legs. But now it seems to have gotten a lot worse. Tonight, as Gogo was eating I noticed he was standing with his left leg barely touching the ground. I held it and it didn't bother him...

Hi everyone! I have a Puggle mix dog named Mater who will be 6 on October 13. I noticed last Saturday that he has a slight limp to his left leg. Our family didn't have much concern because he seems to do the unexplainable to himself all the time. Over the days it looked like it got worse, and...

I recently took my pet for a cut and wash to a repeat groomer. After picking up my dog, all appeared well, but once in the car, my pet was bleeding all over my hands, clothes and himself. Not just a little blood, but a lot of blood. I immediately rushed back to the groomers for assistance and...

Let's say you were bitten while breaking up a dog fight in a public park. Would you report the bite? What if it required medical attention? My dog was attacked by a little white dog this weekend and I (carelessly, I admit) reached in to protect my dog and stop the attack and was bitten by...

Ok, i'm a new dog owner living by myself with a Great Dane puppy. Here's the situation. Last week he was in an accident receiving an unfotunate broken front leg. Since it has been a week, he is becoming more used to the pain and thus, more energetic. I have to keep him in his kennel or my lap to...

I have a 17 year old Siberian husky. Just in the past 2 weeks he lifts his foot up and doesn't walk on it. He hobbles around. He doesn't yelp or get aggravated when i grab it or rub it. He is on a chain so he hasn't ran around and broke it. Has anyone had this happen to them?

I'm 14 and i was curious. I know dogs have 4 claws on their paw, and 1 on their calf. For my dog, I'm pretty sure we got her nail there removed when she was a puppy. Anyway, it looks that in that spot there's an infection or a bug bite type thing. Anyway here's a picture...

Groomer Injures Pup!! I am sharing this because I really want to know if anyone else has experienced this, know someone who experienced this, or can offer any information regarding this kind of scenario. I have NEVER in my life experienced this horrific event until now and I want to hear your...

I have a 2.5 year old male Pom who is active and healthy. He gets lots of exercise, goes on dog adventures twice a week and has a very well rounded life. A few days ago, I noticed a change in personality. He seemed lethargic, depressed and wouldn't meet me at the door when I got home. I...
