HIP DYSPLASIA IN PUPPY?

September 13th, 2011

Hi My puppy is only 9 weeks but I’ve started to notice that sometimes when he gets up from sitting or lying down, he’ll sort of get up with his front legs and drag his back legs up. Am i overreacting or could it be early signs of hip dysplasia? Otherwise, he seems fine with [...]

I have a 3 month old kitty. I bought her a SportPet Designs Pop Open Play Cube. I was hoping she would use it for her bed, because we don’t like her sleeping on the stairs all the time (people trip on her). I tried putting a soft blanket inside of it, I tried putting [...]

Our dogs were eating off a freshly dead/killed deer found in the woods; they do this a lot, and we didn’t have any concerns until one of our dogs was hacking/coughing a few times during the night; she didn’t throw up, however. She isn’t drooling, foaming, bleeding at the mouth, vomiting or having diarrhea, but [...]

Is it time to put my dog down?

February 20th, 2011

She’s a 14 years old Min-Pin. A beloved, devoted pet since a puppy, who we’ve had longer than our 2 kids. About a year and a half ago she got cateracts but we had that fixed. Then about a year ago she lost her hearing, but with sight it wasn’t a big problem. Then she [...]

I have a 4 year old male catahoula leopard dog with an attention problem. If you aren’t touching or petting him at all times he cries. He follows me around EVERYWHERE, I move on the couch just a little bit and he jumps up like something gonna happen. If I don’t let him in the [...]

hip dysplasia in labs?

January 22nd, 2011

My lab is 3 years old and last night she was not putting any weight on her left rear leg. My husband had to carry her up the stairs. This morning still the same thing. Could this be the onset of hip dysplasia? Or could it just be that she hurt herself playing frisbee yesterday? [...]

My 15 y/o cat has been showing signs of arthritis. After doing research, she definitely shows many signs of it – limping, loss of muscle mass, stiffness, reluctance to jump/go down stairs, inactive, etc. I’ve really been wishing I could do something for her, and looked at some cat arthritis meds on the dr fosters [...]

My dog is a 9 year old German Shepherd. He’s approx 106 lbs and 5’2 inches head to tail. We already maintain his diet, so that he doesn’t gain anymore weight. The vet said he’s a good weight, and I know if he gets heavier, it will bother him more. I already constrict his use [...]
