Vets Can't Explain What's Wrong With the Pet

“I've been reading up on it and the gold standard seems to be C02 Ablation, unfortunately it's not available in my city or surrounding cities. Does anyone have any advice on other therapies? Something that's worked or helped? The vet gave a cortisone spray to be used once a day. My baby is just under 11 years old Species: Age: +/- 11 Sex/Neuter status: Female, neutered Breed: Domestic shorthair Body weight: 6.5kg History: Clinical signs: blue swollen glands in ear Duration: Your gener”

“My 14yo cat keeps having wobbly episodes (a few a day), only a few seconds long, started in the past couple of months. They often seem to be triggered by anticipating food - sometimes she nearly faceplants in her food. But they also happen other times. Bloodwork including blood sugar and a bunch to check her heart came back “faultless”. Ear swabs didn’t show anything. She was off her food for a little and was given a course of Cerenia which helped - both appetite and wobbliness. But too expensiv”

“My 4-year-old Shih Tzu, Mac, suddenly became very ill and passed away, and I’m hoping for help understanding what may have happened. The night before symptoms started, we were at my mother-in-law’s house and heard Mac yelp from another room. When we went to check, Mac and the cat had scattered. We did not see what happened and never saw an obvious bite or scratch. There were no visible injuries afterward, and he seemed completely normal for the rest of the night. The next morning (Sunday), Mac s”

“On June 12th or 13th I took my Golden Retriever who is 3 and neutered to play catch in a field, where the grass was kind of high. Later that day, I noticed that his eye is red. The next day, his eye is crusty, green discharge. It looks like typical conjunctivitis. We go to the vet and he gets an eye medication. Twice a day for a week. There is barely any improvement with the medication. We go back a week later for a recheck. They do all the test. The tear stain. All of it. No one can see anythin”

“Hello all: I am at a total loss and am looking for answers because I feel like I'm not getting full transparency from my vet. I'm going to start from the beginning so this may be a long post. On March 1, we suddenly lost my 8-year-old cat to a very rare and aggressive brain tumor. After he passed, our 15-year-old cat became very sad and anxious--she was throwing up a lot, very vocal, would wander around the house looking for him, and starting pooping outside of her litterbox which she ha”

“Species: Dog Breed: Indian Pariah (Indie) Age: 5 months Sex: Female (not spayed) Weight: 13 kg Location: India Our college campus’s 5-month-old indie puppy, Kaju, was hit by a car 2 days ago. We took her to the vet immediately, and X-rays ( attached ) showed a hip fracture. The vet advised against surgical plating, explaining that because she’s still very young, the fracture should heal on its own over the next 2–3 months with conservative management. She has been prescribed painkillers and calc”

“Hi everyone, We adopted two male cats about three months ago from the same previous owner. One is 12 years old (Luca) and the other is 5 years old. From the beginning, Luca had some bald patches on his belly. Over the last three months, these areas have become larger. He excessively licks the fur off his belly and the backs of his hind legs, even though there is no obvious trigger. He also scratches around his ears to the point where the fur there has become thin as well. Our younger 5-year-old”

“We took him to the vet both times and he vomited them up. The first time was at our home and the second at another person’s house. We do not leave clothes lying around and keep him out of the bedroom because of this. We received advice to keep a muzzle on him when at other’s homes. The issue is I’m scared if I take off a sock and forget about it or if he finds something under the couch or if someone else leaves it etc. how do we go about training him not to eat things in general? I don’t want to”

“So torn here - any advice is helpful. 11.5 year old female puggle (pug and beagle mix) that is otherwise completely healthy for her whole life had a 1cm MCT in left flank. No symptoms and dog unaware of the tumor. Surgically removed with clean margins. Patnaik grade II, Two-tier low-grade. Mitotic figures are 0 in 10. Ultrasound/X-ray before surgery was clear for cancer in liver/spleen. All this sounds good, but they removed the neighboring lymph node and it came back as HN2 meaning it had sprea”
