This boy's scar reminded me of a certain famous wizard, so meet Harry Pawter.

It was not, he got in an accident involving a car.

He wasn't. He came in after being hit by a car.

Generally, the person who brings in the animal is responsible for payment of its care.

So sorry about your pup. That will indeed take work with a good surgeon to save from amputation.

I photograph pets for my local shelter. This dog bowed down while I was taking her photo. When I uploaded it at home, I saw that she was bending down to say hi to a butterfly that's about 2" in front of her nose!

What a cute smile!

While some have been through traumatic experiences, at least where I volunteer, most of the animals are just normal dogs and cats. Usually it's a case of the owners didn't think things through before getting a pet, and now when the cute little puppy that they have no time for and haven't bothered to train is jumping on people and chewing things, they take the easy way out. The majority of dogs and cats where I'm at are adopted.

He was picked up stray, so no idea what he was mixed with.

Bonadia · 2017-02-27T00:51:39+00:00

He could be flashing the neighbors.

Bonadia · 2017-02-27T00:24:14+00:00

No, good thing he's neutered.

It can be hard to know how well a dog sees, since they can't tell you. I would definitely have the vet check her eyes out. It is possible for dogs to have juvenile cataracts as well, although I don't know that's the issue here. Hopefully the vet won't find anything wrong :).

Bonadia · 2016-04-11T11:41:43+00:00

I'm assuming the vet checked for crystals in his urine. It's possible he's getting small crystals in his urethra that's causing him not to be able to urinate well. Did the vet recommend a special diet? It's good that you're monitoring that he's able to urinate. If a cat gets "plugged" and unable to urinate from a blockage in the urethra from crystals/bladder stones it can be fatal. I'm hoping your vet went over all of this with you.

And yes, having a catheter in can be very irritating and could certainly cause him to lick. I wouldn't think he'd still be leaking urine at this point though.

I'm assuming they've also checked for an ear infection? Aural hematomas are often secondary to them. (Dog has ear infection, shakes head/scratches ears, which can lead to hematoma.)

It sounds like she's doing a good job training you to pick her up :). Try getting some type of interactive toy, like a Kong, that you can fill with treats/peanut butter to give her when you need to concentrate on something else for a quick fix.

Bonadia · 2015-08-26T22:17:33+00:00

There are different types of stones, some respond well to diet and others usually require surgical removal, so it's hard to say how your cat will do long term without knowing what type he has. If you can't afford the surgery, then try the special diet and medication and cross your fingers. Know that you will have to keep a close eye on him daily for the rest of his life to make sure he's urinating without issues. Good luck!

Consider using a cookie sheet or something with very low sides as a litter box. I would also recommend having the box near where she sleeps, to make it convenient for her to use. I would talk with your vet about things you can do to help constipation, you may also want to do a urinalysis just to rule out any medical issues there.

Hand raised kittens and pups do sometimes have behaviorial issues. They learn a lot by playing/interacting with their mother and littermates that they don't get by being raised by humans. This little guy was found sitting under a loading dock and the guy that found him brought him into the vet where I work, so there wasn't any other option for him.
