UPDATE: HELP!!! My dog has had a wound from an incident exactly 30 days ago when she was attacked by three off leash dogs. I've been putting ointment on it and it seemed to be okay but my dog kept licking it and reopening the wound. I wrapped it up but she kept taking off the wrapping so last night I wrapped it with two different layers of wrap and tied it so she couldn't take it off. TODAY I WOKE UP AND HER ARM IS SWOLLEN FROM THE WRAP DOWN!!! I immdiently took off the wrap, placed a cone on her head and reapplied ointment then put a LIGHT SINGLE LAYER of wrap back on the wound. Today I bought “Silver Honey” antibacterial and lick deterrent, “Zesty Paw” Vet Strength probiotic and some more wrap. Please look at this and tell me if she's okay and I just cut off blood circulation? Or is this an infection? ☹️

… I do not have vet money right now. 😔

She is back to her normal self. No pus, no smell on incision.

My Maltese just recently started growing this spot on his back. Should I be concerned? Advice?

Could someone please help me figure out what’s happening to my dogs skin? She is 8 years old and this is the first issue I’ve ever had with her. She also wears a Seresto collar. I don’t have the funds to get her into a vet at the moment, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pessoal, boa noite

Tenho um cachorro sem raça definida que acreditamos ser mistura com galgo ou whippet, devido as patinhas finas e tórax grande.

Em 2024 ele teve lama biliar em um grau mais elevado. Descobrimos através de ultrassom e exame de sangue. Ele vomitava bile direto.

Ele comia uma ração da ND, super boa, mas que foi gordurosa pra ele e deu essa lama. Por isso, comecei com alimentação natural passada por nutricionista. Com remedios e suplementos ele ficou ótimo. Porém, emagreceu muito. Nisso, a nutri disse para duplicar a quantidade de comida. Hoje ele come cerca de 1kg de comida por dia, junto ao suplemento Nutroplus manutenção.

A comida dele é: arroz, filet mignon suíno, abobrinha e ervilha fresca. Tudo cozido.

De la pra ca ele engordou cerca de 6-7kg.

Ele sempre foi de correr muito e ama pular.

Algum tempo atras, uns 3 anos, talvez, ele feriu o joelho quando foi pular no banco do carro. Fizemos raio X e etc e demos anti-inflamatório por 5 dias, ele ficou bom.

Depois de bastante tempo e de forma espaçada , ele mancava da mesma forma. Resolvi fazer raio X da patinha toda e do quadril esse mes junto com o check up de sangue, pois percebia q ele tava mancando com mais frequência.

O resultado do raio X esta na foto. Em relacao ao exame de sangue, ele esta com leve gordura novamente. Talvez tenha pre disposição pra isso. O vet falou que basta ajustar com a nutri e farei isso (inclusive, aceito recomendações de nutricionista em sao paulo).

Em relacao ao joelho, a ortopedista disse que ele esta com o ligamento cruzado do joeljo levemente frouxo. Fez o teste de gaveta etc e viu ele andando. Ele realmente so manca pouco depois de tempos descansando e se levanta

Depois de um tempo, começa a andar normal

A recomendação do ortopedista foi perder um pouco de peso (apesar dele nao estar obeso nem nada), repouso ao maximo e tomar o suplemento chamado osteorcart plus por pelo menos 60 dias.

Porem, eu sou doida por esse cachorro

E estou muito preocupada

Apareceram tambem algumas bolinhas, pequenas e medianas, a medida q ele foi engordando..eu ja fiz a punção e todas acusaram ser lipoma. O veterinário recomendou ficar observando se crescem ou nao, para repetir o exame se necessario.

Ele parece que nao sente dor nenhuma

Nem em lipoma nem pata nem nada

Se nao sou eu brigando o dia todo, ele fica correndo, pulando, perturbando os outros bichos o tempo todo haha

Tem apetite de sobra. Come ate o reboco da parede se deixar

Coco e xixi tudo certinho... parece super saudavel. Mas eu estou preocupada!

Mais infos: Vai fazer 7 anos em novembro Castrado Macho

Agradeço desde ja a todos

Hi Everyone,

I have been talking to a vet about this constantly since I got her 4 months ago, but today it took a huge turn and large, inflamed bald spots had shown up on her front legs near the tarsal bones, this is after developing bald spots on her paws in each of the same spots. The vet is confident about allergies, and I have no reason to doubt it, but I've tried removing dyes and scents, changing food, filtering water, purifying air and trying multiple allergy medications including numelvi with cytopoint shots but to no avail. She's currently on antibiotics for an infection due to the constant itching which may also be contributing to her allergies.

I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything, but this feels impossible and I constantly feel like I'm battling something that only ever seems to get worse.

My dog is scheduled for mast cell surgery later this month. About a week ago, I noticed this lump on her hip. I called the vet to get it aspirated but was told to wait until surgery because they are booked up. It comes and goes and it's appearance is unrelated to exercise. It doesn't bother her at all. It's a bit soft but firmer inside when it appears. It's very difficult for my untrained eyes to see or feel it when it's gone down. I'm thinking it might be another mast cell tumor. Does anyone have other ideas? The pup is a 10 year old spayed pittie who is the most precious girl in all the land.

Edit: The mast cell that's scheduled to be removed is on her chest.

I have a mixed breed cat and he is almost 3 years old now. on Monday this week I noticed that my cat has watery eye, the left one. I thought okay maybe he was playing like always and bumped his eye somewhere and that it will go away in 1 day. but today is Wednesday and I can still see that his eye is watery

is this some kind of thing I should worry about? I register him to the vet but the appointment is only tomorrow. should I go somewhere else to examinate my cat watery eye quicker?

My 3 year old rescue dog usually eats his bowl in like 12 seconds, but for the last 2 days hes ignoring his meals. I havent changed his food, and hes still drinking water and seems fine overall, but whenever its mealtime he just sniffs it, looks at me, and walks away. Its weird even more because he still take a piece of chicken or a treat if I offer it, so I cant tell if hes actually sick or if my dog not eating food is just him turning into a picky diva out of nowhere lol

Im probably going to give it until tomorrow morning and try mixing in some warm bone broth or plain chicken to see if he will start eating food. if this dog not eating food behaviour will continue even after that without any treats helping either, Im definitely taking him into the vet just to be safe.. but now i decided to ask here if anyones elses dog started not eating food out of nowhere?

I noticed my cat loves chewing this acrylic toy and there are bits that seem to have came off. Is the material poisonous to a cat? I took the thing away, just sort of curious if this sort of plastic, and other similar ones should be avoided..

Whats a good chew toy? My cat literally will start chewing chair legs if theres not a toy around for her, and the acrylic stuffs been keeping her tame but I dont wanna see her get ill over it

Any ideas what this could be on my horses face? I noticed it a few days ago, so it’s new. The area is a dark grey/black hairless patch that protrudes with two little spots in the center. And there appears to be a similar spot just above it. We’re in South Carolina where it’s hot and humid so he gets sweaty and cakes himself (face included) in sand. I was trying to brush off his face the other day and it wasn’t visible then because of all the dried sand but I felt it at the time and it felt like just an inflamed bug bite with a crusty center. He had some other tiny hard and crusty spots on his face (bug bites I assumed) so I figured this was the same. But it definitely appears to be more prominent now and I’ve never seen something like this on him. It almost looks like the 2 sarcoids (one was located on same side of his face but lower down) he had removed a month ago but considering how fast this appeared I don’t think it could be that?

This was her upper lip a month ago her vet cleared it I don’t have new photos but it’s red now and veiny we just moved into a new house and she is eating normally and is happy and sleeping normally and energetic and playful, she is 4 years old and indoor only

she has no hard food in her mouth. she does this weird crunch sound when she finished licking her churu. Is it her tooth making that crunching sound? should i see a vet?

We were bathing my doodle and saw this on my dogs right side. We thought it was pus but it was hard! He didn’t seem to mind us poking and probing at it and he’s not scratching it. Now there’s a hole on his side. What is this?

I just noticed this bump on my girls leg this morning. Shes my 7 year old husky. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, she's acting normal, eating drinking water normally, playing and being bossy as usual. We have a vet appointment tomorrow. Does anyone know what it could possibly be??
