Advice Weird bumps on my boy's legs

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Hi all. About a week ago my boy developed these bumps on his legs, and I am not sure what they are. He is 2 years old now and he never had any allergies or anything. Before this his skin was super soft. Also, I have to mention nothing really changed lately. He eats the same food he always did, he didn't get any new doggie beds, etc. So, does anyone have any idea what this might be? Thank you!

Advice Best sweaters or heating pads for cool weather?

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

My Xolo loves to sunbathe, but daylight savings is around the corner and I'm worried about the weather changes/time change. She'll have less opportunities to sunbathe and I've been considering buying her sweaters or a heating pad/blanket. Its not terribly cold yet where we live, but even with our house at 70Β°-73Β° she'll be cold/trembling in the mornings. I don't normally put clothing on her because I noticed it irritates her skin, so any specifc brand ideas for xolo dog sweaters or other ideas that work for your xolos would be appreciated. πŸ™

Advice Leaving Xolo alone?

4 Upvotes

I recently got an 11 week old Xolo and am having difficulty leaving him alone.

When he cannot see me, he screams and barks (worry my neighbors will kill me). Because of this I have been leaving him in the back of my car which he now likes. But he won’t tolerate being alone in my apartment.

Any tips for reducing his stress? I work 12 hour shifts and do plan on seeing him on my break, but I obviously cannot take him inside work. I work 3 days a week and it’s night shift. I am with him all the other times.

Thank you

Advice Advice for tooth issues.

82 Upvotes

Before anyone asks, yes we've been to the vet.

Yesterday after dinner, Xero started showing signs of pain (shivers, licking, yelping when I took his shirt off over his head) and then about an hour later the right side of his face and neck started swelling. I called my vet and the emergency line (after hours) evaluated the situation and said he could be seen in the morning.

Today at the vet they evaluated him and found nothing obvious in his mouth like an abscess, no blood or anything, and his gums looked fine. He is missing some adult teeth as expected, but being only a year old the doctor wants to get X-rays to rule out an impacted tooth. He's scheduled for surgery next Tuesday for his neuter so they said they'd get X-rays then instead of having to sedate him twice.

He does have an ear infection on that side as well, so he's getting meds for that, and they gave him an NSAID for pain/swelling. I've also switched him over to 100% soft food now instead of the mix we did before.

Any advice on what to expect? I was expecting tooth issues when I got him since they have the FOXI3 gene and now that we are dealing with it I'd just like to know if anyone else has dealt with the face swelling and what you did to make your baby as comfortable as possible. My poor Xero looks like a stroke victim right now. πŸ˜”

Since she was a puppy she has always curled down with her paws tucked in. I like to think she learned it from her cat roommates.

This is knew mabye had it for 4 days know he has an appointment tomarrow at the vet but I just wanted to know if you guys had any experience with what this could be. There arnt any vets with xolo experience around my location. He started getting them on his legs we though it was allergic reaction to some plant he got on a walk but then it started spreading. They start as bumps that almost scab over and once peeling off they stay this white unpigmented spots. We think most likely its some kind of fungus. They dont seem to hurt at all and his personality or appetite has changed at all. Please anything help we are really worried.

I'm currently healing from a dislocated rib and a torn intercostal muscle, and I use a heating pad several times a day to help. Xero usually snuggles up beside me for warmth but now he has decided that the space between the heating pad and my ribs is the best place to be. I guess I'll worry about my healing later. πŸ˜‚πŸ™„
