What is this?

This just appeared today on my dog and was wondering if anyone had any idea what it was? Gonna set up a vet appointment tomorrow.

Have any idea what this is?

My Mom's dog is on new medication for fleas and itching and as she put her on it this rash started to appear. It's not the first time though, she had one around the time my Mom got her a couple years ago.

Happy tail

My Irish wolfhound (1yr female) has happy tail. Before it was only minor and we thought it had gone away as in no more bleeding. But it came back and she had bitten a part of her tail as the vet told us it’s common when they are licking the wound. The vet said they can’t really do anything and suggested amputation but I really don’t want to do that. And they are going to try lazer therapy on it (one treatment done so far). We have been trying homemade slings to have her not wag her tail and put a pool noodle with it wrapped surrounding the end of her tail to protect it and her not to mess with it. But she just ate the pool noodle even with the plastic cone on her head in the crate. I’m out of ideas as I don’t want her to mess with her tail more but also not keep eating foreign objects….

Black substance in dogs ear

Hey, I’m looking for some guidance on what I should do. Two weeks ago I noticed my dog, a 1 year old neutered poodle mix had a black substance in only his right ear. I also noticed he started shaking his head a lot more and made an appointment with his vet. We went last Thursday and they recommended he be sedated so they clean it out as he wouldn’t let us touch that ear. They sedated him and told me they will clean and remove the hair from both ears and put ear drops that last for 32 days. I was charged $400 CAD for the procedure and told not to touch that ear too much. When I picked him up both his ears were clean. However, I noticed that the next day some of the black stuff was back in his ears. I decided to give it a few days thinking that it might take the medication time to work but looking now one week later and there’s even more. It’s in the same ear and he is again shaking his head and not allowing me to touch that side of his head. Did the vets office not clean it properly or is it normal for the black stuff to be there while the medication works? I will happily take him back if that’s necessary but if they dropped the ball the first time I’m not sure if I’ll trust them to deal with this. Will they make me pay again for them not getting it right the first time? I have attached a picture of the receipt stating the medication he was given.

What’s happening to my dog?

Since 2-3 days ago, my dog started having some eye discharge. As seen in pic, there is (constantly) some tear stain and also some white mucus/booger-like substance, which slowly builds up even after wiping. Her sclera is also red. She is a 3.5 yo female dog. She was adopted around 9 months ago with no known history. We are planning a vet visit this weekend but any advice here would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Protective at home but not in public

Dom is well socialized he goes to the store weekly and with me to drop off/pick up my son from school and has no issues but if he hears someone outside and home he goes into guard mode. It's only when he can hear but not see the neighbors and he never tries to get to them. He will just get in front of me and growl. He just turned 6 months and still baby. Im more of a cat person (he is my first dog since childhood) so is this normal?

should i be worried about my dogs spay incision?

she got spayed on friday so it's been 6 days and since day 4 she's been jumping on and off the couch without my control. she doesn't whine or cry when she jumps anymore and seems fine but i was wondering if i should be worried. i woke up this morning and saw that there was something sticking out of it, as u can kind of see in the picture! i will be contacting her vet when they're open but i want some opinions from here!

dog spay incision

i was able to take a better picture of her incision and it looks like it’s crusty? last night it didn’t look like that. and the hair at the bottom is mine, kinda looks like it’s sticking out of it. anyways the vet opens in less than an hour so i will be contacting them soon but anyone have an idea of why it looks like that? she also had a umbilical cord hernia which she got fixed when she was spayed.

When should a change in behavior become concerning?

My 5 year old Schnoodle Shadow has had a behavior change in the last couple of weeks. Usually we take him out, put him to bed, tucks him in (my mom treats him like a toddler but he loves it), and he sleeps the night away until we take him out in the morning. But lately we keep finding him crying/whining at the bottom of the stairs at night after getting out of bed, and won’t stop till someone goes downstairs and comforts him. He doesn’t want to play, doesn’t act like he needs to go out (and we always take him out shortly before bed). He’s also been a lot more scared of things lately. Barking more at dogs outside (and people), shaking during thunderstorms, etc. I’m not quite sure what the cause is. He doesn’t *seem* to be in pain or anything. I think a vet visit may be warranted, but I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on what kinds of problems could manifest like this. He’s always had anxiety problems. He’s on Prozac from the vet which we give him every day for years now also

Would a donut of shame keep my dog from scratching his mouth?

I figured out a few days ago that my dog has a sore on his mouth, specifically on his lower jaw. It looks like he chewed on something until a portion of his lip became raw. It's not currently infected or vet visit worthy, but it's got to itch since he's using a hind leg to scratch it. I'm looking into getting him a cone of shame to prevent him from scratching it and I'm wondering if one of those soft donuts would work just as well, or if he could still get a hind leg up to his mouth.

Anyone know what this could be?

I just saw this today. It’s kind of below his neck area. I did get him a new leather collar but he’s only had it for less than 2 days. Could it cause this in that short amount of time? I haven’t noticed him scratching it.
