my 2 year old baby girl was diagnosed with IMHA 5 days ago...
Hello. I have been searching for any and all information on IMHA since I found out about Marilyn's diagnosis on 7/17/11. I brought her into the E-vet because she was acting very lethargic and wouldn't eat for days. When I got there she had a PCV of 11%. They immediately admitted her and put her...

Dipstick update
Took him to the vet today for a checkup and to change his painkillers. Saw a new vet today.. I'm impressed. She asked us to walk laps around the parking lot to see him move, then after a very hands on physical, ordered xrays (something the last vet didn't do). The last vet said that he had advanced...

Has anyone dealt with vitiglio?
Oliver is losing pigment on his lips and it has started to creep towards his nose. He has a small faded spot on his chest that hasn't changed in the past year. I know that this could also be lupus, but he has absolutely none of the other symptoms associated with that. I noticed yesterday that his...

My other dog Chewy and her have been fighting lately, and I can't tell if maybe Chewy may have bitten her in the eye, or maybe she got bit by a spider or something... has...

Possible loss of feeling in the back end
Dipstick is having accidents in both his sleep and while awake. It's almost as if he can't feel the need to go. When he's awake, he'll start to have a bowel movement and suddenly he'll get this look of surprise, like he didn't know. And when he's asleep, it doesn't wake...

sandy eyes after a beach trip
Poor Bugsy seems to have sand or other junk in his eyes after our beach trip - he has such short hair and eyelashes that he has no protection. I have tried to just wipe the area clean several times a day, any other suggestions to help?

Vincristine Extravasation (Chemo Leak)
Hi all. Has anyone dealt with a vincristine extravasation (chemo leak)? I've done a lot of Internet research and thankfully vincristine leaking into the surrounding tissues is not fatal, but it is not good, either. In my dog's case it's been over four months and the IV catheter site (right...

Oozing Lipoma on 12 year old Golden
My sweet old girl Sandy has an oozing lipoma on her shoulder. The vet said it isn't dangerous, just to keep it clean. We can't afford surgery right now and at her age, I'd rather not risk it. The opening is pretty big, about the size of a quarter. If I cover it with a bandaid or gauze she...
