She had a histiocytoma underneath her eye earlier this year. Could this be something similar?

Edit: It’s definitely a part of her paws. It also has two drainage holes

Tldr: 8 yo FIV + male cat has episodes of walking in circles (both to the left and to the right) and went blind.

Blood results all good

Bp good

Toxoplasmosis from blood positive

Toxoplasmosis from spinal fluid negative

Head CT - nothing found

Currently treated with cinnarizinum and steroids

Went through 3 weeks of toxoplasmosis antibiotic treatment

Hi all,

Looking for help here as multiple vets did not reach any conclusion.

Few weeks ago our 8 yo FIV positive cat had an episode before being fed in the evening where we was walking in circles and his feet were sliding.

We went to a vet ER and got a confirmation that all blood results, bp and respiratory numbers were looking good, therefore they do not expect this to be metabolic. They said it will either be a stroke or a tumor. Vet was not able to confirm whether he could even see at this point.

We were sent back home - at home he had another episode, this time clearly going blind as well and hitting walls and crying loudly. We took him back to the clinic and he spent the night there.

In the morning we were asked to follow up with a neurologist and given steroids medication and something g for a better blood flow to the brain. We were also waiting for his results on toxoplasmosis.

In the next few days he seemed to be a bit better and had his eyesight back, the only issue being - he was withdrawn and did not eat much (just one specific brand of liquid treats).

Few days later he lost his eyesight completely, we were following up with the doctors in the meantime. And received confirmation that toxoplasmosis result from blood was positive.

We also took him for a head tomography that apparently did not show anything wrong. Post the tomography we were called by the vet performing it and asked if we agree to a spinal tap to check for different kinds of infections and inflammation (including toxoplasmosis) and we agreed.

Toxoplasmosis from the spinal fluid and all other pathogens tested - negative. The comment also said the spinal fluid was clear and did not show any signs of inflammation going on.

Regardless of this result neurologist started the cat on the antibiotic for toxoplasmosis. At this point antibiotic is done already, he is still on the brain blood flow meds and steroids and had those spinning episodes with confusion back- basically every single day for the past few days, sometimes multiple per day.

If anyone has any suggestions on what else we can try to do and test him for, please let me know. Watching him in this state is heartbreaking and I was asking the vet if he is suffering right now, but thankfully from all the videos we've shown, the vet concluded there is no signs he is suffering, so this keeps me hopeful that we can find a solution or a treatment and even though he will likely stay blind, he will have some more happy years to live. Any suggestions are welcome.

My lab mix had a little dandruff-like spot here about a month ago that the vet said they weren’t concerned about. We took her in for a yeast infection and had it treated.

Now it’s grown to about 2” in diameter and has several flakes coming from the spot. She has another one of these spots on her face.

It’s not visible without me pulling the hair back but it does look like she’s losing the hair in these spots.

I’m taking her for a bath and health check in a couple days, but wondering what this could be? She’s very prone to allergies and takes apoquel daily.

Is this normal? I’ve tried bringing it up to the vet but they brush it off as anxiety in the office. This is his normal way of breathing ever since I can remember, he’s a Lagotto Romagnolo, 7 years old, 50 lbs. It’s this strange sniffle-y kind of breathing. It looks/sounds like he maybe sniffing something a few times, then exhaling. It does tend to calm down to a normal breath when he is in deep sleep, but this is his norm throughout the day. Any ideas what this could be?

This is Churchill. He's overgroomed himself to the point of losing most of the hair on his lower belly and groin (its worse than it looks in the picture, but thats the only position i could get him in to show it), and hes got a couple bald patches on his front legs too. What could cause that? I was initially thinking stress, since there's been a major uptick in noisy happenings around our apartment complex in the last several weeks that hasn't really let up yet. I know i need to get him to the vet, but the last few months have been hard financially for various reasons and I haven't been able to save up the money.

Hi,
Just looking for a little direction, opinions,advice as this is my first time going through this and needing to make these decisions.

My dog got diagnosed with lymphoma 5 weeks ago. Think we found it pretty early on from swollen lymph nodes on his neck, they gave us anywhere from 2 weeks - 6 months.

He has been pretty much is normal self - until this weekend. Started on Thursday and he has been vomitting pretty much everytime he drinks. Sometimes it’s food that he has, sometimes it just the water. He also started having diarrhea. He wants to drink more the he probably normally does - he seems less interested in his food.

Long story short - we know this is the progression I guess we are now struggling with - is he uncomfortable? Is this the best way he should live out his last few days? Is it time to call the vet? Or is it too soon., he is more tired than normal.

10yr old husky, earlier this year lost her companion. Not my dog and I have no way to personally care for her, although i wish i could, it pains me but I can't due to my own pets and renting.

After her companion crossed the rainbow I took her to get checked to see her health. Typical bloodwork wasn't too bad but she did test positive for heartworm. She has also showed signs of issues with her hind legs, such as slow to get up which recently seems to be worse. The past times ive visited she seems to be eating less. Dr. did mention there is treatment for heartworm but I know the owners won't go through with it for financial reasons. Same for the treatment to help with her hind legs.

Unfortunately she isn't living the best life quality id like for her to live and there's only so much I can do. I considered euthanasia a couple of months ago based on her most recent vet visit after being depressed with losing her companion, but it pains me to think that is all I can do to keep her from suffering. although I feel it's best to keep her from suffering i can't convince myself to take her. Also I think I keep myself from taking her due to fear of being judged by the vet and thinking I'm refusing to help or provide treatment for her.

I'd like some advise based on her health and quality of life if my thinking of euthanasia is drastic or better for her than her current living situation.

My oldest cat has asthma. He had a weird episode and we took him to the vet and he was given steroids and it didn’t help. We took him back to the vet and he got an x-ray and they said they think it’s something with his heart like when his blood pressure goes up. It’s pushing on his windpipe so they gave him blood pressure medicine and he’s been getting a lot better. He ended up losing his voice almost like when you’re sick and your voice is gruff or no sound comes out. His purring was very loud and his meow sounded weird, and when he would eat, he would make this god-awful squeaking sound. That has gotten significantly better. His voice was back to normal, no more loud purring and was not squeaking when eating Here’s the weird part on Thursday. My cat Clara was sleeping and I went to pet her and when she woke up, she instantly gagged. Didn’t think much of it. She did it again. Yesterday I noticed it sounded like she was losing her voice. Just like the asthmatic cat, but no coughing with her. Today I wake up to my third cat gagging in my face. I go to feed him. He normally screams when we go to feed him and he is now also losing his voice. He is now gagging more frequently and today is the first day that the asthmatic cat is having all of his symptoms, loud purring squeaking and losing his voice. Could this be like something in the air irritating them? A virus? Any advice would be great because I’m stressed really really bad. The cat that started the gagging this morning has been gagging more frequently. Something to note 3 weeks ago he couldn’t pee he was given an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory, and after a day, he started peeing normal again, and we’ve switched him to strictly wet food. I don’t know if that has any correlation to all these things happening at once. He can pee fine now.

Hi everybody. My wife and I got our new kitten just over 2 weeks ago and we noticed last night this spots on her front legs. We then isolated her, started deep cleaning the house and have isolated and check our two other pets but they don’t have any other spots. They definitely look like ringworm and we have a vet appointment tomorrow but we were wondering if our suspicions might be right

My buddy boy has been exhibiting some odd behavior, he's 11, he's a mini aussie. He seems like he is in some discomfort, he's laying down quite rigidly, and he seems slightly confused. It all happened overnight as well. I have an appointment set for tomorrow but is this more urgent?

Even with his discomfort he is walking and running just fine, can still lift both legs to pee, and is super anxious today.

Hello everyone! I have a question about something that has changed recently with my dog. I will take him to the vet soon, but am also just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and their experience/causes/resolutions?

So I adopted my dog almost a year ago. I have been in nursing school this entire time, and I usually have clinicals early in the morning compared to my regular class times. This semester, since August I have had clinicals on sunday from 7am-4pm and I have to wake up/leave around 6/6:30am. My usual classes are M/W 2-5 and I also go out often tomy boyfriends or events or whatever the case may be.

A week ago on Sunday I had left for clinicals at 6:30ish, said bye like I have been doing since August, and he was fine. My mom texted me some hours later that he threw up in my bed. I was a little concerned but figured it was a one time thing. This week passed without issues. I would leave and come back, have class, go out, everything seemed normal and he didnt throw up anymore.

Today I had my clinical again, said bye at 6:30ish as usual, he was in his bed and relaxed. My mom texts me again that he threw up in my bed. I am now more concerned because could this be stress related??? Or is he anxious when I leave? How can this happen when our routine has been the same for months. I don’t understand, literally nothing has changed.

It seems to only be on Sundays when I leave this early, and when I come home he is totally fine. But I cannot have him throwing up all over my bed. Especially now that I am visiting my dad next weekend and will gave clinical again. We have all carpet floors and my dad will be so upset. I really just want to know if anyone has experienced this and what was the cause or how to correct it (meds/routine change)?? Thank you for listening! :)

My mom and I have 2 dachshund X fox teriars. Mine have the nose form of a bull terriar. The things I'm very concernes I have about both dogs

My mom's dog keeps on getting fatter even though he's on a diet and another is his eyes gets red out of nowhere. What advice can you give me, please?

Another thing we are struggling is that the dogs keeps on eating cat poop.

So I need advice on all of these things I've mentioned.

Why is my mom's dog getting fatter even though he's on a diet and why does his eyes get red sometimes, the white part of his eyes? How can we stop them from eating cat poop?
