Pet Insurance Advice

What about it?

Hi all! My 3 year old pup Opal tore her cruciate ligament and has her repair scheduled in a couple weeks. I have heard following the initial tear, it is very likely for dogs to tear their other ligament. because of this, I have been searching the internet for pet insurances that would cover this second surgery, IF she was to need it. As of now her left leg looks great but I’m just trying to be more prepared if it is to happen. Unfortunately most places won’t cover it since she’s already torn her right and it’s not considered “pre existing” Does anyone know of any insurance companies that would cover a second tear???? Thanks for your help!

Baby Rabbits

What about it?

So, my dog (goldendoodle,3years old) ate 2 newborn bunnies this morning. She's killed them before, but this time apparently she was hungry 🤦‍♀️ I am pretty sure that she will digest them ok, or puke it back up. But I just didn't know if anyone had anything that I should be concerned about or know about

Could this be a "Hot spot" on my dog?

What about it?

We have a vet appointment tomorrow. For tonight, we are using desinfect and were told not to let her lick the red patch. It's about 3cm in diameter and the dark part is a bit wet...

Pomeranian with pancreatitis

What about it?

My man, is almost 12. In relatively good health. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis a couple years back. So the odd time he goes through bouts of stomach pain, and diahreah. He is solely fed the prescription hills digestive care , I/d . I know if he gets into something, he gets pretty sick. So, that said .. he's in good shape . But he's getting pretty skinny. I am starting to feel his hips quite a bit . Was hoping someone could suggest other alternatives or something I can add to his food to help him put on weight safely .. I've done a lot of reading online, but 1 wanted opinions on here from people with the same issue. Thanks in advance

My pibble has this bump under his eye. I think it's from playing with the puppy we have (border collie 1 yr old crazy dog) It just showed up after we got back home but they were wrestling. Is this something to take to the vet and be concerned? I can touch it and stuff he doesnt care. Had it 3 days.

Thank you to all who commented on Jäger’s behalf, here is his first couch nap!

I did do an update comment on the post but with the overflow of responses from everyone (thank you!) it got a bit lost. It was incredibly helpful to hear everyone’s perspective and we appreciate immensely!

Suggestions for a durable animal-shaped toy?

What about it?

The dogs love animal-shaped toys like this one but it didn't last 24 hours before the stuffing was everywhere.

Is this okay?

What about it?

My dog has this grey looking coloration on one of her teats. Is this something to be concerned about? She is just over 1 year old, and has not had any pups.

I'm sure this jokes been made but...

Not so great if you ask me....
