well just took both my dogs early today to the vet and spent a good $200 on the both of them for shots. when i arrived my dalmatian started to get the runs really bad. the vet just thought maybe it was his nerves. I say he had about 2 accidents while there. after i left it hit me!… the night before he vomited.. so now im thinking he has a bug. I wish while i so happend to be at the vet she would of realized he had a bug. so now since the vet is closed til monday… he has uncontrolably pooped on my floor and notice very light blood. His poop is almost like watery mudd. There wasnt a whole lot …just a little. I gave my dalmatian some water and he threw up a little of that. I called up the emergencey vet but they are wanting to charge me a $300 fee just to see him. That is not including the medication or treatment.
So until I can get him into the vet monday morning are there any remedies I can try? Anything that can help him relive his symptoms? I gave him one tbs of pepto…. I think that helped a little… but is there anything else I can give him? You’re advice would be appericated.
******Oh and no one please think my dog is in serious harm! I know some people on here freak out and say the dumbest things. For the moment my dog ISNT showing any signs of weakness or anything to bad. He is still his same old self running and playing around. If he were showing serious signs i would on yahoo answers. trust me.*******
Try mixing in some canned pumpkin in with his kibble. Make sure it’s 100% pumpkin, NOT the pumpkin pie filling.

I just got a pug from a woman looking to pass him on quickly. It seemed like it was because she was leaving town, but the dog seems rather sick now. I took him to the vet because he was very lethargic. He was diagnosed with an ear infection. Does that cause lethargy? What else might it be?
Hi Ellen, thank the lord he landed on your door-step! At least now he’ll be loved and cared for! An ear infection can floor a puppy for months – they just can’t deal with it bless em but he will get better in time – just keep him out of water and don’t let his ears get damp or wet when he has a bath ( vaseline is brilliant when its wiped around the ears – -stops water getting in ) Also remember that an ear infection can make a puppy feel like sh*t and all they want to do is lay down and sleep till it goes – bless em they don’t realise it takes time and plenty of money on anti-biotics too!!! Stick with him mate – another few weeks and you’ll see an improvement! Good on ya for not giving up.

My dog has been throwing up twice for two days now and has bad diarrhea, he won’t eat as much, and shows signs of weakness, he’s not as active and has stopped barking which is real unusual for him. what should i do, should i be worried??
Can’t afford a vet right now I don’t know what to do?? He’s eight years old, he’s a small dog I rescued from a shelter three years ago.
You’d be worried about yourself, wouldn’t you?
You didn’t say how old he is, so it’s hard for someone to guess what might be wrong, and there isn’t anything anyone could recommend without knowing things like his vaccination history, breed, or anything else about the dog. Check the site below:

So, my dog has been acting sick latley, but we dont really have the money to take her to the vet. Can anyone tell me if these symptoms describe a sick dog? And if so, do you think it’s bad?
Symptoms:
- looks dizzy
- won’t drink water
- loss of energy
- holds head up at all times
- keeps licking the air
On the other hand, her nose is wet & her head isn’t hot. Are those good signs?
Thank you soo much.
Thanks guys. I’m leaving now to see the vet. Ya’ll are awesome.
If your dog is acting dramatically different than she usually does, there is probably something going on. It’s definitely worth getting checked out. Call your local vet’s office and ask them if they would be willing to talk to you about a payment plan for services. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to get Care Credit to help you pay off your bill. You can read about Care Credit here: http://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/
Good luck!

My dog got into 2 trashcans and ate spoiled ribroast I know he isn’t giong to die because it wasn’t a day over spoiled! But i need to know If I should not give him his wetfood in the morning or what please help! DOG IN AGANY!!!
Ginny
It’s a he and his name Is Teddy Bear
He really isn’t in Agany I might of overagzagerated a little… And he didn’t eat any bones! Also my best friend died of Pantriodic or however you say it cancer… ps how do you select best answer?
If there were any bones in it you need to go to feed him wheat bread ASAP, it will help the bones pass. If he is vomiting you need to go to the hospital. He will dehydrate if he cant keep anything down. Also he can get pancreatitis from this which requires IV antibiotics to get over. These things are serious. Please take care.

I took my dog’s collar off to give him a monthly bath but i discovered a deep cut about an inch and a half. Im guessing he had it too tight. To help i put hydrogen peroxide on it, but i want some more help to cure him if there’s anything else i can do. I will end up taking him to the vet if he starts looking sick or infected. So if anyone can help me on how to cure a neck cut on a dog from a tight leash please answer.
Thank’s for the helpful answers, my dog does’nt look in very much pain because he’s just fine and running around. That’s good i just hope it get’s better instead of worse.if it does im gonna have to take him to he vet.
How the heck did you not realize that your dog’s collar was way too tight till it was already embedding so deep in its flesh??? Could you not see any blood or pus on that area nor smell rotting flesh? Please for goodness sakes, bring the poor animal to the VET & not simply put "stuff" on the cut without the doctor’s consent. It’s neck needs to be STITCHED!

I have a 4 months old dog – Arthur(metis of I don’t know what). Until
2 months he was ok, then he got sick of parvovirosis which he
overcame.After 1 week of feeling ok (and he ate solid food with no
problem) he developed mega-e (I trully think that there is a connection
between parvo and mega-e (although the vet says that there isn’t)
I am from Romania and the vets don’t know much of this desease.
Has anyone confronted this situation?
Is it possible that my dog cures from mega-e without any treatment?
(the vet says that there is nothing he can do or give Arthur for cure.
Megasophagas? Not parvo related & not a "disease". Congenital defect.
Can be surgically repaired but……big money.

I’ve heard of it happening with upper respiratory infections but not alone.. My dog hasn’t been sneezing/wheezing/showing any other signs of being sick, but his nostrils are stuffed with thick mucous and the outside of his nose is a little dry.
Dogs can get Common Colds just like a human…If it continues, or the mucous starts turning any color but clear, it means it’s turning into a sinus infection and you need to get him to the Vet.

hey guys i was just watching the news and a guy and his wife killed a siberian husky and chopped it up into patties and they ate it them selfs…
but the meat was supposed to be for their sick son..
and the dog meat can appearently cure a really bad illness..
but the parents ate it them selfs
i want your thoughts on what you think of this? personally i think they should go to jail for animal torture and stealing a dog and eating it
Most countries where dogs are eaten, do not eat pet dogs, but dogs bred specifically for the table. Just as we breed cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens.
But I have to say the idea of it sickens me. So does the thought of eating horse or cat meat.
