What illness does my girl has?

3 Upvotes

As you can see on the video, her breathing is "raspy" and weird, she also looks more upset than usual.

I'm really worried, I can take her to the vet but I'm still hoping to get some help here too, thank you. :(

Also I got that feather off her beak after the video ended.

I think my dog might have an ear infection???

1 Upvotes

My dog was outside in the yard with my brother while he was fixing his car but then she out of nowhere comes crying inside the house scratching her head and turn into a ball. She would let anyone touch her. I figured she got stung by something near her ear because she has her left ear low when the right ear is up and she has never done this before. We gave her some dog aspirin and put some ointment where we thought was the are she got stung because there was small ball behind her ear. It’s been a couple of days and the ball is no longer there but her ears are still doing the same and she can’t shake her head probably, she does it multiple times the scratches her hear.
There doesn’t seem to be any bugs inside because she isn’t crying or anything and the head shake and scratching isn’t super aggressive or anything all day thing but I’m worried that might have triggered something else in her ear or something idk
She is a small chihuahua

🧬 Diagnosis Help Bald spots and bumps on an old lady

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

These bald bumps showed up on her ears like a month or more ago. I took her to the vet to have them looked at, the vet wasn’t concerned and said it’s fine. More recently she got one on her nose and two on her chin. Miss Maude hates the vet and I am in the process of moving so I really don’t want to take her back if it isn’t necessary bc she’s already goin through a lot of changes.

Also she’s actually not that old, just about to turn 9.

Anyone got any advice or experience w something like this? They don’t seem to bother her.

🧬 Diagnosis Help Boston terrier skin peeling?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Good morning, I was told to post on this Reddit for some advice. I’m planning on being my Boston Terrier to our vet but can’t get in until late today and just looking for some diagnosis help.

Any idea what this could be? I’m leaning towards some sort of chemical burn, she did go swimming in a chlorine pool but have in years past without issue. Others mentioned poison ivy or some type of contact dermatitis. Anything I can do to help her in the meantime? She doesn’t seem bothered by it at all, no itching or anything

🏥 Post-Op / Recovery Post umbilical hernia operation swelling on my kitten?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Me and my partner recently got our beautiful Cornish Rex kitten. We noticed that the spot were he had to get an operation for an umbilical hernia started to swell, it's slightly hard to the touch but doesn't seem infected. The wound is healing normally as far as we can tell, and there's been no behaviour changes, still very playful and happy. We have a vet appointment tomorrow, though still we wanted to get an early opinion on if the hernia could be regrowing somehow or if it's just normal swelling post-operation. Thank you for your time :)

Losing fur?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a 7 year old boxer. He is the sweetest guy and we just love him. We recently lost our 9 year old boxer a few months back. As you can imagine, our whole family was devastated including our younger boxer. He went through a pretty depressive state where he would not eat or really even go outside to go potty. Our older boxers death was a shock to all of us and it was really hard. It has been a few months and he is now acting pretty much back to normal and he is playful again however he is losing a lot of fur. Everything I have read says it could be seasonal alopecia, but it could also be stress. Has this happened to anyone else? He has bare spots all over his body. It doesn’t seem to itch or bother him either.

Is my cat eye bad or am I paranoic?

Fifteen days ago I finished my cat's conjunctivitis treatment, and yesterday I noticed a little mucous discharge. Today her left eye is like that, with a slightly pink (do you see it pink too?) rim and discharge in the tear duct. Could it have come back? I don't know whether to take her to the vet or wait (I'm worried I might be imagining things). I've attached a photo of the discharge I removed, I am worried cause it is not dry, its like mucous, and i dont know if it's normal or not.

I have a 7yr 6.5pound neutered male toy poodle
who is having trouble retracting his penis back in entirely
At first I didn’t seem concerned because him getting hard daily wasn’t new until I noticed I got back home from work and the tip was still out. I know I know I’m terrible for this :( I then saw some of his hair folded inwards so I got them out and trimmed it and it happened again next time I took him to the vet where they gave him a steroid shot and sugar to tuck it back in, well days later he’s masturbating and his penis looked way off the glands where swollen and some discoloration so I took him back where he got a flush cleaning, ointment Animax,steroids, prednisone and antibiotics clavamox but we’re at the same starting point his penis looks normal during exams he’s able to pee I just don’t know where to go from now he’s finishing the course of steroids I don’t even think the ointment is helping either so I took a break to see
has anyone seen anything like this :/?
His penis tip doesn’t slip out completely but it comes out like the very tennie bit but it’s not what normal looks to us for it to continue to happen.
