Mucus after urining
It seems like one thing after another. When we took Freida in for her check up, I told the vet about mucus that I see sometimes hanging from behind her after she goes potty (#!). Not everytime. I gave them a urine sample and they came back and told me she had an over growth of baterica, but not to worry...

What's happening to her teeth?
I'm on my way to the vet next week but would like to pick your brain on this. Ribbon is 18 months old. I noticed a couple of weeks ago she had developed a dark spot (brown/tartar?) on the top of both her upper canines. I was a little shocked because of her age. There does not appear to be any other...

Dog poop survey!
When my collie was diagnosed with bronchitis I was told at the same time to watch her phosphate levels (kidney health). She was put on prednisolone and the Purina kidney formula. Her poop turned into dark dryish bullets. So I changed to fresh cooked as advised for a kidney diet. Some improvement but...

HELP/ADVISE: Blood in Urine (Maltese)
My good friend's Maltese (8 years old) had blood in his urine about 3 years ago so the Vet said it was crystals and put him on a certain food from the Vet. She ran out and got blue buffalo which he's been eating since January (it's now April) and today she just found dried blood all around...

Pot Overdose or Neurological Episode?
I had to take Ribbon to the vet yesterday. The day started out just fine. I put Ribbon in the backyard around 6am and she seemed fine. When my son (23yr old) got up around 10am he asked if I had seen a couple bags of cookies he brought home from work (chef) the night before. Of course we both immediately...

Gotti's eye
So I'm going to ask anyone's advice about this. Not sure what I should do. Came home from work and Gotti is holding one eye shut; it's tearing a lot and very red in the outside corner. No swelling in the general area, blood, or other sign of trauma. Thinking he must have something in it or...

Our breeder does not support spays/neuters for dogs less than a year old. So all though Lilly is now 6 months old we will not be spaying until after her 12th month of life. But I really want a microchip... I spoke to the nurses and asked how it feels. At first she kind of freaked me out and said...

We have a diagnosis finally.
I posted a month or so ago that my 8 year old cocker spaniel Abe was having potty issue and was being really picky and not wanting to eat his food. Some posters suggested to mix some pumpkin in with his food and that helped firm up his bathroom breaks. Several days ago he refused to eat. Hubby took him...
