Cracked tooth
What about it?
I noticed my dog was licking her mouth weird after drinking water and I decided to have a look at her teeth and one of her rear teeth is completely cracked down to the gum and looks like the bottom half has broken off completely. Do I need a specialist veterinarian to look at this? Is this a common thing most veterinarians can fix? I'm worried if she's in any pain. I'm not sure how long it's been like this.
dog lift his leg and pees on everything?
What about it?
chewy is a 3 year old, unaltered male. he grew up in an rv, moved with us across province, and stayed in a hotel for a week before we made it to our house. this was 2 years ago now.
as a puppy, we potty trained him within the same week of bringing him home. he legit had no accidents due to not vocalizing or ringing his bells that he had to go out. the only time he would pee inside is if he (i think) smelled the cats’ pee because our elderly female would occasionally have accidents on the furniture. i brought him to my friends house a couple times whenever i would go over to visit, i’d usually stay about 3 days to a week. the whole time i would have to watch him and make sure he wouldn’t lift his leg and pee, and whenever i looked away or had to let go of the leash to help with something he would go off and find something to mark. it was always a wall or a table/chair leg, one time he had peed on the couch cushion that was on the floor after my friends young sister had a few hours prior. i don’t if that’s why or if he just wanted to pee there.
the hotel we stayed at obviously allowed pets, so the entire time he had to be in belly bands as he would actively pace and pee anywhere he could. we get to our new house and before we even unload anything i take him around everywhere, letting him go at his own pace. he doesn’t try to mark anywhere, just seems super curious. as soon as we have our furniture moved in, chewy lifts his legs and starts marking absolutely everything. couches, chairs, walls, the garbage can. he stays in my room with me, for the most part. whenever i come up i put him in a belly band or just leash him. he’s only marked a handful of times in my room, but i’ve lost count for the rest of the house. i figured he just needed to get used to the new surroundings, if i acted like nothing happened and just took him outside, he would learn. but two years later, if you take your eyes off of him he will still sniff out a spot to mark. without fail. is neutering the only option to fix this? is it already a learned behaviour and i should just accept him in belly bands? how would i even begin to reverse it?
Can somebody please help me and my pup? I came home from work, and there is a few diarrhea spots with a bit of blood in each one. five minutes ago she took one that scared me though. Please don’t with the “stop asking for advice and take her to a vetâ€. I will. It’s midnight here.
What about it?
I tried giving her some new wet food. It’s the blue buffalo senior can. She’s a 12-year-old I rescued in November. I usually mix in some type of wet food with her dry kibble. That’s the only difference in her diet. She seems happy in energetically enough right now, but I don’t know I’m really scared. Can someone offer some insight as to what’s going on until I can get her vet care?
What is wrong with him?
What about it?
Loki 1 year old Great Pyrenees/ Saint Bernard mix. Neutered. 80lbs.
I have had Loki since he was 5 months old. He's always walked... differently. His back is always noticeably arched. He always walks slightly bow legged and is pretty stiff in his back legs. It's also really common for his back legs to give out on him if he runs to much. What is wrong with him? Is there anything I can do to help with this or was he just born this way? I can tell he is pain sometimes and it breaks my heart. He has a vet appointment in a month and a half.
Stray dog that I want to bring home
What about it?
Hi there I have this dog that keeps coming to the yard at my job. The local food truck guy feeds her and I brought her actual dog food today if she's here. It looks like she's had puppies but I was curious if I wanted to find her and her pups how I would go about taking care of her. I have a dog currently but have never taken in a stray before
