We have a 4 year old female chocolate lab, over the past couple months she's been throwing her food up a lot. We are thinking about switching brands. Is this a good idea?

I'm not a vet by any means, but I know with Bella, our Great Dane, she'll throw up if she eats too fast. We put a toy in her dish that she has to eat around and that's solved the problem.

Maybe we'll try out a pot belly pig, her parents used to own them and she said that they were great pets they just passed away when she was really small so she doesn't remember them a whole lot. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! Apparently when the right pig, the right people, and the right house/property get together it can be great. However, there's so much that goes in that there ends up a lot of abandoned pigs because things don't work out somewhere. PBPs get anywhere from 100-160 pounds in size. The ones that are smaller are usually because of congenital organ or vascular defects and thus they'll stay small but be more prone to illness or need those congenital illnesses taken care of.

So, my 10 year old mini Doxie has had ~5 laryngeal spasms in the last 2 days. She was diagnosed years ago, and gets them occasionally, but usually more like ~2 a month, rather than multiple in days. I'm worried by the sudden increase in their frequency. I walk her on a harness, and I haven't been able to identify a trigger; we don't burn scented candles; and she's getting them lying down in her crate, begging for food, on a walk. I can't find a common cause. I made a vet appt. to discuss my concerns, but in the meantime does anyone have tips for dealing with them? I already speak softly to her, rub her throat, and try to relax her.

My advice is to maybe cease walks until after you see the vet, as I would think that any exercise or strain in her respiratory system may be inducing it/making it worse, even when she seems to be calm. If it's becoming more frequent, I believe that surgery may be the only option for relief, although with the type of surgery it is, even after she recovers she will be far more prone to diseases like canine pneumonia and debris entering the lungs. I really hope she does okay, I wouldn't worry too much until you know what the vet says, as the surgery, I believe, is a worst-case scenario.

cailleask posted:So, an update. I took her to a new 'regular' vet for a second opinion since her opthalmalogist appointment isn't until next week. They said she might have maaaaaybe the faintest beginnings of a cataract in one eye and a tiny possible beginning of a mineralization spot on the other, but they were pretty confident she can still see just fine. I'm still going to the eye specialist so we can confirm, but the new vet thought it was insane anyone would consider eye surgery on Luna. Last update! We went to the ophthalmologist, who was pretty fantastic. They did a bunch of tests under dilation and determined that Luna can, in fact, see pretty great for a dog her age. No major issues, just a lot of the nuclear sclerosis. She did say that she had some mild macular degeneration going on, and perhaps 5% cataracts as a result... but no swelling or irritation. She recommended just adding some Ocu-GLO supplement to her food as a precaution and said I could find it online. Has anyone used this? Is it more effective than something like fish oil?

cailleask posted:Last update! Although it wasn't necessarily a prescription, if it was strongly recommended by a vet, there's usually a really good reason, in the same way that they would prescribe or recommend a specific food for various conditions. I would say Ocu-GLO is the best thing to go with since your vet specifically named it, and if you would prefer to try something else, I would give your vet a call and ask if there are any other things they could recommend, or even just to ask why they recommend that product over others.

Sure, but I'm trying to understand the what and why, especially as I've been taken for a ride before-- and I've often found that vets feel the need to recommend something at the end of an otherwise good appointment just so they can say they 'did something'. Just because a vet sends me home with a folder full of reccs for pet insurance doesn't mean I'm going to run out and buy it, you know? The pat answer I got, 'it's good for eyes' as we were walking, wasn't really super useful. It looks like an expensive multivitamin with lots of omega3 from flax being its primary mode of action. My dog eats nothing but salmon and is already overflowing with omega3, and of a more useful sourcing. What I'm asking is of anyone knows of something else specific in this supplement that's useful for eye health. I have no problem paying a lot of money for something useful, but I don't particularly like just throwing money down the drain.

Also just FYI, the veterinary ophthalmologist you're paying big bucks to knows infinitely more about this stuff than anyone here does. If you're not satisfied with a "pat answer" then ask more questions. Most owners don't give a poo poo, so vets say vague stuff like "it's good for eyes." The ophthalmologist probably also has a lot of anecdotal experience with Ocu Glo and could maybe tell you whether they've seen really good results with it, or they're not super convinced that it's helpful but won't hurt if you feel the need to be more proactive, etc.

PyPy posted:I know that is the right thing to do, but part of me fears that I might not be coming home with her ever again given her age. I kind of was hoping for someone to hop in here and say "oh it's no big deal, it's [insert thing] and the vet can fix it real easy" before I went up there to help ease my nerves. My baby is still part of my life, though she is older and handicapped (has trouble walking on her front legs). She still has that spark of desire to live in her, and I am grateful for it. Oddly enough, I saw a renewed energy in her a day after laid on the floor crying into her side, telling her I wasn't ready to lose her. She loves her boy.

Crooked Booty posted:There was a paper published in 2007 showing that certain antioxidants present in grape seed extract had very positive effects on dog lenses in vitro and might theoretically slow the progression of cataracts. Ocu Glo was developed by some veterinary ophthalmologists after that. Like virtually every nutraceutical, there are no studies showing that it actually does something in dogs (rather than in test tubes) but maybe it does, and it probably doesn't hurt. Yes, thank you, this is exactly what I'm looking for. They were pretty ambivalent-- it really had a feel of a recc thrown out because they throw it out to everyone who walks through their door. So I just wanted to know if there was more to it than an expensive omega3 supplement, which is what my initial search turned up. I don't think it's that unreasonable to do some basic research when recommended something, like-- what is it, is it effective for my condition, what are the side effects and interactions? Vets are human, and they are also businesses.

 So, I caught this in the living room today... And we are worried that wasp season is starting already. Living outside Oslo, it's still winter here, but it's been a very mild one. We still have snow, but it's melting. Can someone identify what it is, if it's a regular wasp, queen, one of the earth living ones, anything I should look out for or worry about? That is the only one, we live in an apartment, but due to clutter, there are places to hide. Clutter is temporary, small kids and little energy does not encourage tidying poo poo up. We have had wasp queens twice before, trying to make a hive in our bedroom curtains, both captured and smashed before they finished. A year since last time, and we had no more wasps that year. Sorry if this makes no sense, but we have a 9 month old and a 4 year old, and would prefer to not have bugs around here. Edit: Forgot to mention. I killed it using dishwasher soap and water, which is pretty quick, 5-10 seconds, then flushed it in the toilet... Had a glass of lemonade and dishwasher soap on the porch a couple of years ago, caught and killed 30-50 wasps in a single hour, it was insane. I have pictures if anyone request them.

Lucie went to the vet today, who actually prescribed hydrocodone to give as needed. Based on the side-effects I'm seeing, I'm definitely going to be sparing with it, but if it helps, I'm happy. He did mention 'it might make her drowsy,' which I find hysterical, seeing as the lazy little thing sleeps ~15 hours a day anyway. She's more of a cat than anything else.

I have a 6-year-old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog who had a kidney infection in early January. She's been having her kidney values monitored, and the last couple tests (~3 weeks apart, last one today) have had her creatinine around 2.1-2.2 and her BUN at about 32. As shown, she's been left with a bit of kidney impairment from the infection, and my question is: is it possible that she'll stabilize at a certain degree of impairment and live however long she would have naturally, or does kidney function inevitably get worse in these cases? I tried to speak with the vet office about it (after the vet had gone home), and the tech kept dancing around the question ("well, you don't know how _long_ she would live even if she didn't have the kidney issue") and saying contradictory things. I'm going to speak with the vet herself, but I know that doesn't bode well.

I guess I would expect some amount of continual decline as she ages, which might not be clinically relevant in a normal-kidney dog, but then, I've also see kidney cats that had basically static bloodwork at about that level of creatinine for a couple of years.

People at my apartment complex do not pick up their dogs' crap. I mean medium to large size dogs with big logs of poop. It's impossible to walk anywhere on the grass; it's just one big dog toilet.  The landlord doesn't seem to give a poo poo.I am seriously considering sending an anonymous letter to everyone at the apt. saying that it's from a fake dog poop DNA testing service. If people don't start picking up the dung, they'll be coming in to figure out whose poo it is and punish the offenders. I'll also send one to the landlord anonymously with a note telling him it's fake, but the dog poo poo is real and gross. What I want to know is: could this plan go wrong? Should I do it or not?

Ema Nymton posted:I'm not going to tell the landlord who I am. Similar to me a while back - since I knew most people in the at least by face, and who had dogs (and who I'd seen not pick up after them) I'd just pick up the poop and leave it on their doorstep. No flames, no fuss. Just poop. It's equally as anonymous as not cleaning up after your dog but it makes the poop a direct inconvenience to them. Some people got the picture, some people didn't. Just be aware that you could just as easily be seen doing it as not.

I live in a neighborhood where people are very conscientious about picking up their dogs' poop, and still walked my dog past 5 or 6 piles of poop yesterday. Short of actually getting a "poo policing" system set up in the complex, you are never going to solve this problem.

Blenheim posted:I see. Is there anything I can do to give her the best shot possible? Thanks for your help, as always. Did your vet recommend a special diet? Creatinine of 2.1-2.2 is on the borderline for stage 3 kidney disease; there's an international standard grading system from 1 to 4 based on creatinine, and Stage 3 starts at 2.1 and goes up to about 5. Stage 3 is where protein and phosphorus restriction starts to be recommended, so if your vet has talked to you about a special diet, that's probably why. At the very least I would avoid feeding anything that is higher protein than your normal middle-of-the-road dog food (ie, I would not recommend anything purporting to be high protein/low carb). Other considerations for kidney health are making sure there isn't protein in the urine, as that damages the kidneys over time, and making sure her blood pressure is normal as hypertension can contribute to kidney damage. Both of those things can be helped with medication if they occur.

No, there are companies that do this. Some apartment complexes have a subscription to a service where a sample is taken from each dog to create a database, and part of the pet "deposit" is used to pay for this. Then if the maintenance people find a pile of poo, they send it off to be tested and matched to a dog. The owner is then fined $$$ (part of which covers the cost of the test). Good incentive for people to pick up after their dogs since it can be traced. Sounds anal, but it's what people who move there agree to, and it keeps the common areas from being unusable because of dogshit landmines.

Friend adopted a rescue dog with super long nails. We both are worried about trying to cut the nails because I had read the quick can get long too. I feel bad because the dogs nails are really long, I dot even cut my own dogs nails because it freaks me out. Can groomers work with a dog to make the quick retract and get her nails to a normal length eventually? Would buying a nail grinder make things easier? Total noob in this department.

Essentially the nails will just have to be trimmed a small amount frequently until they are a normal length. When you cut close to the quick, the quick will 'recede' a bit. My parents' dog's nails got a bit too long and I am currently going over and clipping them a little every week.

I also posted this in the parenting thread, but thought it might get more traction here. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with a dog who is starting to show signs of aggression toward children? We have a small Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix named Teddy who used to be great with kids, although at that time we didn't have any children living with us. About 7 months ago, my husband and I became the legal guardians of an 8 year old and 11 year old, and in the last 3-4 months, he's started pouncing on them without warning and occasionally nipping at the bottom of their trousers. It's totally unprompted and they aren't instigating or being rough with him. We were out of town recently and left the dog with a professional dog sitter, and he did the same to her kids. He used to be very affectionate toward her daughters, and she said it was worrying behavior. He's never bitten anyone, but we've also got our first baby on the way so are extra keen to stop this in its tracks. She recommended a book called "There's a Baby in the House!" which I haven't yet read, but at first glance seems a little Caesar Milan-y.

Charlie is a 4 year old German Shepherd/Rough Collie mix. He's had skin issues since we got him 9 months ago, and we thought it was a chicken allergy, so we switched foods and things seemed fine. Coincidentally, we switched foods right when it started getting very cold, and we also stopped going to the dog park as frequently. Cue warmer weather and more trips to the park, and now Charlie has some serious dermatitis on the ventral side of his tail and pretty much all around his anus. As well, there are minor circles of erythema and scabbing on both of his hind legs. These symptoms seem consistent with a flea allergy, so we shaved the hair in the affected areas to head off any worsening. We applied some neo-predef powder from a previous vet visit, and gave him some Benadryl.That was last night. Unfortunately, it seems buzzing the hair might have made things worse as now he runs anxiously when called, favoring his butt, and frantically decides if he wants to furiously luck the injured areas or not. He kept us up all night with his pacing and licking, and when he finally came to bed, he was breathing extremely heavy. I guess his history is not so important to you all, since we are taking him to the vet today, but my question is would an allergy panel be worth it? The vet has discussed this option before, but only as a last resort. Given this latest incident occurred so soon after visiting the park and was accompanied by what appears to be flea bites, I'm leaning toward flea allergy. What would you all do in this situation?

If the itching and erythema is all on the back half of the dog, I would rule out flea allergy before spending money on an allergy panel. I do that simply by giving consistent flea prevention and seeing if it gets better. You want a flea product that kills the fleas very quickly--Capstar (daily), Comfortis or Trifexis or NexGard (monthly) are all pills that control fleas much more quickly than the topical products (Frontline, Advantage, etc). If the dog isn't hugely sensitive the topical products might be enough, but it does take them several hours to kill fleas and in those several hours they are still biting.

I believe this is the right place to post this so I will go ahead. I'm about to bring in a new dog to my house where we currently have some other animals and I haven't done this before, except when I lived at home and we introduced a new puppy. Currently, my girlfriend and I have two cats, Zara and Willow, and a small dog (about 20-25 pounds), Lily. Zara was adopted when I was in NYC in college from a shelter and is really sweet but can prefers to hide when new people or things are immediately introduced. Not a mean bone in her body, but she doesn't like to be bothered and loves to play. Willow walked up to my girlfriend one day out of the woods (after she was spotted carrying a huge leaf around). She loves to be around people but prefers to just lay on the couch, not on your lap. She's also very sweet and will play with Lily when she feels like it - her and Zara currently will bump noses and are getting along better every day (they've only lived together for a few months now). Lily was found on the streets in NYC (the Bronx) by my sister, outside of a Dunkin Donuts. She had one eye crusted shut, scars all over her, and was totally on her own. My sister forgot her coffee that day, which she never does, and decided to go to that DD. She saw Lily and she is the type of person that physically cannot ignore an animal in need. She popped into DD with her, asked if Lily belonged to anyone and was promptly ignored. She took her to her job, had her for about 2 weeks and fostered her and two homes fell through before we took her. She's the best, sweetest, smartest, cutest little poo poo I've ever been around and is so totally content and grateful to live her new life (it's been over a year). She's definitely part chihuahua, some sort of terrier, and a bit pit bull (on account of her chest, a bit of her face, and her stance). She's brown and just lovely. Now I'm getting to the main point of this. My sister has spent a lot of time working with shelters in the city and fostering animals. My girlfriend and I have been wanting to get another dog because Lily loves to play with other dogs and just hang out with them. My sister recently started fostering this little guy, called Oreo through the group (which will be changed!), who is a boy version of Lily and is black and white. Seriously, they look so similar that we were instantly drawn to him. We've just met him and introduced him to Lily and it went really well. They played with each other for a bit and chased each other around. The only issue is when people are eating - Oreo kind of hovers around the table and will growl randomly at people or other dogs. This can definitely be worked on I'm sure - Lily had some of the same problems when we first took her in and we've worked through them with her. The shelter has accepted our application and we get to take him home this weekend. I'm just unsure of the best way to approach introducing him to our home, especially when next week comes and we are at work (we both work full time, but I get one day a week working from home). He is crate trained but apparently does not like the cage being totally closed. We have a nice open office/computer room that is a good size and comfortable with some good sunlight, so we were thinking of closing the door there and putting on one of our gates in the open doorway to keep him present but separated when we aren't around. He definitely has some anxiety issues (a lot of which mirror Lily's behavior when we first got her). He comes with his very own Thunder Shirt which apparently helps, but he's been in the shelter and then uprooted to being fostered so he's understandably not himself. Apparently, he was an owner surrender because they had no more time for him. My girlfriend is nervous because she thinks Lily will feel that we are replacing her and that Lily will hate us. When we met Oreo, he instantly took to my girlfriend and in her mind Lily wanted nothing to do with her for the rest of the day (not true, Lily just loves her daddy more  ). She was better with it afterward when we had some quality time on the couch.I think I'm rambling but I wanted to get in as much info as I could think of. I guess I should add, Lily and Oreo are both about 3 or 4. Like I said, I've had experience introducing a new puppy before but this is kind of new to me. Now that I think about it though, when I took Lily in I was living at home and my parents have three Italian Greyhounds. She was fine there, but I think a lot of that has to do with her personality. We don't really know Oreo yet, other than he is working through his issues and my sister said he has been getting better every day. I've introduced cats before and that is a whole drat process in and of itself, I'm just not sure on what the proper steps are for adult dogs.
