I put my little guy down yesterday. He was at the very end stage of renal failure had sore in this mouth etc. I know I did the right thing. And I want to thank both Dr. Christina and Dr. jeff, particularly Dr. Jeff who guided me through Peanuts declining health for the last 3 years. Now all...
FYI, he is a chihuahua terrier mix. I don't have his recent bloodwork, but I do have the results from the cancer panel. neoplasia is high. 16.8 percent which my vet says is cancer, 81 for hyurolic acid, vitamin d, magnesium and folate and cobalamin are all normal.. I could get recent blood...
Thank you Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina,
His health has gotten worse and he's not really enjoying anything. He can't eat anything not even his favorite meats such as turkey or beef. I put calming dog music on and that seemed to calm him a bit. then he gets up to go to the bathroom and has short...
I called my vet and learned that he tested positive for cancer. The senior vet tech offered to give me some end of life vets where they could come to the house and put him down since he also has renal failure and kidney disease. I told her I was not ready for that yet, but it may come to that...
Thank you Dr. Christina! The dog seems a lot happier since I gave him some raw chicken. At least his BEAM was good when he ate it. I rolled half of it in Aventi kidney care to defer some of the posphorous since he has renal failure and which he wasn't sure about at first, but he did eat it. I...
I just made an appointment with my vet for Monday. I was hoping that I could wait until I got the cancer panel back, but since he's not eating I didn't think I could wait. Hopefully he can at least get some pain pills.
He will not eat his kidney food or the normal foods he loves like peas and carrots. His tail is down a lot and he looks more in pain when he eats. He was able to eat some oatmeal and celery pieces today. When I took him to the vet earlier this week they told me he had not lost weight, but he...
Hello,
My 16 year old dog has renal failure so I'm not sure if diarrhea is part of kidney failure, but it seems like his tummy hurts a lot and he has not been able to eat his normal foods or supplements. Any ideas? He still eats which is good, but much more picky and the supplements of...
Thank you Dr. Christina!
It looks like when I block off the room he goes in the litter box. I feed him in this room so the dog won't eat his food and I think he starts thinking it's his room and peeing and pooping on the floor are a way to verify this. I also changed the litter in the box so...
For some reason my cat started peeing outside of the litter box. He was having diarrhea, but when that stopped (due to stopping the dry food) he suddenly stopped using the litter box. Any ideas? His litter is clean, particularly since he is not using the litter box, but I thought I would...
Hello,
My understanding is that members can get a discount on this product, but I can't seem to find out how to access that discount. Any ideas? Please advise. Thank you!
Thank you both! I feel better knowing that it's normal for strays to bite. My bites are doing pretty good and have mostly healed so I'm grateful for that too. I am probably going to try to rehome the cat or foster it until it gets adopted out. He really is a handsome cat and very loving but...
The cat bite was last week, but he bit me on the foot again and that was yesterday. I don't seem to have any symptoms right now after putting antibiotic cream on it. The rabies vaccine was a day before I got bit. Would you still recommend me going to the doctor?
I took a ferral cat it and it bit me hard 3 different times, twice when I was petting it and once when I was trying to keep it out of the bedroom. I got the cat shots and he needs a second booster, but I'm too afraid to get him in the crate for fear he will bite me again as his bites can be...
