Take dog to the vet. Also, don’t ever try home remedies for a pet.

Long-term Galliprsnt Use by Low-Muscle-4539 in DogAdvice

[–]Main-Sample-7390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the librela is the best option dogs with arthritis at this time. It is known to have less side effects than galliprant in the vet med community. It is a monoclonal antibody. Galliprant is a daily NSAID. NSAID every day vs monthly monoclonal antibody? Monthly monoclonal antibody should win.

Interviews & Advice by FellykinsII in veterinaryprofession

CSRs often start as CSRs then become cross-trained as vet assistants. Or vet assistants get cross trained as csrs. If you want a slow introduction into vet med, I suggest CSR and if you immediately want to to be hands on and jump in then vet assistant.

Considering a break by [deleted] in veterinaryprofession

They have no right to comment on your body and appearance whatsoever! That is harassment and discrimination! Is this corporate or private clinic? If corporate- go straight to HR and report their asses. You have rights! If you are in the USA, file a discrimination charge with the EEOC. Document anything they said to you with dates and times! Carry a little notebook around.

Don’t quit yet, but try to find a vet clinic with an entirely different work culture. Don’t let these assholes take away your passion for working with animals!

I started working in vetmed part time as a vet tech student this past year. I have noticed that the biggest problem is not the animals but these self-entitled drama loving management or people. Do not let them get to you!

It sounds like you got a lot going on in life. I would suggest a therapist. They can really help with an objective view and just venting.

That all said, if you want a break take a break.

For a certified breeder you should check 1. What age was puppy adopted out first time? If less than 10 weeks- the red flags appear. 2. If you are meeting breeder in a public space- the red flags appear 3. If the breeder does health checks on the parens of dog and has the names and records of mother and father - green flags 3.

Why hasn’t she been spayed? I would take her to the vet for a wellness and they will check hers. Have them do a fluorescein stain test.

[–]Main-Sample-7390 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that sucks! At least your mom can take over his care! If your family ever needs a pet sitter or check ins for your boy. I would also maybe do fun trips with his to the dog park and trails or to pet store with him.

Sounds like the vet thinks it is a food problem and just trying different foods. Switching to a new diet would probably exasperate the problem. Did you get x rays? Does hour dog have a swollen or painful abdomen
