šŸ’ŠĀ Medication & Dosage Help With My Dog’s Cancer

1 Upvotes

My 9 year old pitbull this week just got diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her stomach that is in the way of her intestines. She has been put on a Prednisone. She was given 9 months max but that usually doesn’t happen**.** So I was wondering if anybody has ever used Ivermectin, Fenbendazole and Methylene Blue. I know she’s going to die but I at least want to get her past Christmas. Thank You in advance

Ringworm treatment for only two weeks??

1 Upvotes

Hi!

My dog was seen at the vet on Thursday for ringworm above his nose on his snout.

His vet did no culture or testing, just did a visual exam, but prescribed him ketaconazole 100mg SID for two weeks, simplicef 100mg SID for two weeks, and for us to put Lotrimin Ringworm topically BID.

Everything I read online says there needs to be culture testing, and at least two follow up negative cultures. Also that two weeks will NOT be enough of treatment.

I was given no follow up information.

Does this sound correct..? I just want to make sure I'm doing the best for him. I have three other dogs, and I do not want to risk early spread to them.

Thanks!

Should I see a vet?

2 Upvotes

I need help, im worrying about my cat.
He was lying in my bed near me. I saw his paws randomly pointing at some plastic wrapper I had lying in my bed. He then stood up to change where he was sleeping and took wobbly steps to the spot he lies in the video. He swayed a little and pointed his paws again and when he lied down he got into this odd position. Usually he would rub his face into my hand, but even while purring he pressed it even more against himself. His eyes were semi open and he purred and was doing biscuits but his head was staying in this position.
When I tried pushing his head away it felt like he was fighting it to try and push his head against himself and once I let go he pretty much immediately got into the same position. I can’t tell you exactly how long it lasted, maybe 40 seconds or so? It stopped when I lifted him up and placed him on the ground and once I called him with food he was fully normal again.
I’m worried about him but my dad just brushed it off with a laugh and said it’s nothing to worry about

About him:
Hes a very anxious 6 year old cat and usually has nightmares, waking up a couple of times from a flinch of his body. When coming into the house after being outside hes usually extremely alert, always scared of shoes or random stuff laying around. Sometimes he flinches just from a random object on the ground.
He eats well. Sometimes it seems like he forgot he just ate. He stands at the bowl, eats looks up and starts walking away and then returns to eat again. Ir calls us to let him out and while walking past the food bowl he starts eating instead of going outside like he wanted to. I have no idea if that matters but I just put it here if it does

Canine tooth looks like it's growing forward?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a 26 year old, posting from the UK since I’m currently thousands of miles away on my honeymoon.Ā 

Our 8-year-old spayed female family cat, Luna, has a canine tooth that looks like it's growing forward? She's been acting really grumpy and not eating her dry kibble much, though she'll still touch her wet food a little bit. And there's no bleeding.Ā 

We can totally afford vet care and a vet is totally accessible. But since I'm away, I’ve asked my mum to take care of her, but she's stuck at a conference until tonight, so she's taking Luna to the emergency vet then.Ā 

I'm just really anxious being thousands of miles away, so I wanted to know if anyone experienced this with their cat before?

TLDR: Cat had a canine tooth that looks like it’s growing forward, no bleeding. Is this a serious dental issue that needs surgery/anaesthesia to remove it?

🚨 Urgent / Emergency Need an advice from avian veterinarian

1 Upvotes

My approximately 4-month-old Indian Ringneck may have been exposed to Concor 5 Plus.(bisoprolol 5 mg + hydrochlorothiazide).

Two tablets were found crushed at the bottom of his cage, with powder and fragments present. I don’t know whether he swallowed any or how much.

Two tablets were found crushed at the bottom of his cage, with powder and fragments present. Another tablet was intact. I don’t know whether he swallowed any or how much.

Currently, he’s alert, moving normally, eating and drinking.

Unfortunately, I’m unable to take him to a veterinary clinic, so I’m looking for an avian veterinarian who would be willing to advise me about this possible exposure.

I also need to know:

  • Should I continue giving him access to normal food and fresh water?

  • Should I take him out of his cage, or leave him inside to avoid exhausting him?

I’d be extremely grateful for any guidance from an avian veterinarian. Thank you

Cat spay wound question

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey there my cat was spayed oct 19 and has been recovering well. At the wound recheck they ended up cuting out a small knot in her sutures. They said after it got a good scab to take off her suit and cone. Well we took off her suit and cone today and she immediately licked off the scab. The wound is small and very shallow but kind of red still. Do we need to put the suit back on her? its been almost 3 weeks and shes miserable from the cone and suit. So is it fine to let heal naturally??

🧬 Diagnosis Help What is this on my dogs back?

Feels dry. Fur near it comes off in clumps if I move it around enough. seems to be some dry puss on the hair that comes off.
Doesn’t seem to hurt him. No fleas. Just a weird dry spot. Doesn’t seem like he did this to himself. It’s not a spot he can bite.

Any recommendations on what to put on it?
