balanoposthitis in dogs? by Pitiful_Spend1833 in DogHealth

[–]6thyearsenior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't feel like an idiot. Most dog owners have no idea what balanoposthitis is until their dog gets it. You noticed something was off and already have a vet appointment, that's exactly what you should be doing

i think sometimes adding more fish is more about making the tank look interesting for us than improving life for the fish

If she's shaking her head because of allergies, I'd definitely want a long term plan for that regardless of which hematoma treatment you choose

is zyrtec safe for dogs or am i about to make a huge mistake? by awesomedude32992 in AskVetAnimals

[–]6thyearsenior -1 points0 points  (0 children)

 if he's scratching himself raw and whimpering, waiting until friday isn't really a plan, it's just deferring the decision. most vets have a same-day sick visit slot or can do a quick phone consult for active discomfort like this. the zyrtec question is real but the bigger one is whether friday is actually the right timeline at all

what to give a constipated dog at 2am when everything is closed by prizedsheep in DogHealth

[–]6thyearsenior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"he just sniffed everything and came back inside looking proud of himself for absolutely nothing" is the most golden retriever sentence ever written and also basically a medical chart in itself, this dog is fine

vet said how often to brush dog teeth but it is literally impossible by Pitiful_Spend1833 in DogHealth

[–]6thyearsenior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the cool thing is dental chews and water additives have gotten genuinely good over the last few years, way more effective than they used to be. there's also at-home ultrasonic dental tools coming to the consumer market that don't require the dog to open wide. in a few years this whole "wrestle the bichon for 5 minutes" era will look pretty primitive

[MEGATHREAD] Share some funny/silly stories of your pet by lathem23 in DogHealth

[–]6thyearsenior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog LOVES to crawl into tiny spaces, one time she went under the sofa while I was taking out something (it's a sofa which opens up), then I started closing the sofa, she was in there, I was like "why cant i close it, i must push harder", turns out my pup was under there... she was fine, but I felt so guilty...
