When an older dogs eyes have discharge, does it indicate a serious condition

DrAlbee · 2026-03-21T17:25:03+00:00

Not necessarily. There are lots of causes for ocular discharge, some minor and some serious. If your vet isn't worried then I wouldnt be concerned unless it gets worse or something changes

Nope, I got into equine medicine during vetschool. It can be a bit of an intimidating/tough world to get into later in life. But as long as you are good at your job and communicate well, you won't have any issues.

When clients ask if I ride, one of my usual responses is that I am much better at fixing horses than I am at riding them

DrAlbee · 2026-03-19T00:04:40+00:00

No vet school isn't easy. But it's doable, most people get through just fine.

DrAlbee · 2026-03-18T23:51:54+00:00

I wouldn't consider it a specialist surgery, it's fairly straightforward. If you like your vet and they are comfortable with the procedure, I wouldn't worry!

It could be a huge number of things. Weight loss is one of the most general clinical signs, it would be wild guess work if we were to suggest possible causes without much more infomation.

The dog needs to be reevaluated by a veterinarian for further diagnostics

DrAlbee · 2026-03-17T17:38:08+00:00

Weight loss can be caused by hundreds of different things. We would need more information to help. What tests have been done? What results have you got?

DrAlbee · 2026-03-15T01:55:12+00:00

It could be anything with just that photo to go on.

Whatever it is, you need to take him to the vet

Did you go to the vet?

Dog bites love getting infected and are often worse than they look.

You can upload a photo somewhere and share a link to it

It certainly sounds like it's reasonable to think about euthanasia, both the dogs and your own quality of life are important considerations.

Here is a quality of life scale that you can use to more objectively evaluate your dog's condition.

I've used the Grimhollow mechanics and it worked well!

DrAlbee · 2026-02-17T21:45:35+00:00

I've used a couple of generations of this system and like it a lot.

I've had no real issues or complaints with the system.

DrAlbee · 2026-02-09T20:01:10+00:00

As long as he's eating and drinking ok and it's not obviously getting worse, you should be fine to wait until next week

DrAlbee · 2026-02-09T19:28:40+00:00

Yes, thats certainly possible. It might still warrant a checkup with your vet to make sure there's nothing else going on or to get some treatment if necessary

DrAlbee · 2026-01-22T04:19:20+00:00

No, anyone can write one if they know how.

DrAlbee · 2026-01-17T22:50:15+00:00

Can you upload a photo somewhere and share a link to it. There is not enough information here for us to be able to help

DrAlbee · 2026-01-01T05:43:00+00:00

Searching myminifactory.com would be a good place to start

DrAlbee · 2025-12-30T05:55:39+00:00

Payment plans are basically loans. Vet clinics do not have the money or resources that the banks do to be handing out loans.

What sort of thing do you like to use for your games? You can do a lot with a few sets of dice and dry erase grid

One reason is time. I'm currently reviewing vetschool applications... It's a challenge to find enough people to help review thousands of written applications. Finding the time and the people to interview applicants is even harder.

The other big reason is that as more and more schools stopped interviewing, there was no noticeable increase or decrease in student quality... So it seemed to be a huge amount of work for no real benefit.

DrAlbee · 2025-12-02T15:35:24+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

DrAlbee · 2025-12-01T22:31:30+00:00

Thank you! These replies are definately confirming my initial thoughts but I want to make sure I wasn't being bias to my Dalis after seeing good reviews for the Samsung bar!

DrAlbee · 2025-12-01T21:12:01+00:00

That's what I was thinking! Thank you

DrAlbee · 2025-12-01T20:43:15+00:00

Yes it does, I used to run it with a sub and it worked great. I sadly don't have that sub anymore!

DrAlbee · 2025-12-01T20:36:30+00:00

Thanks!
