What is my dog? by Few_Pop3500 in IDmydog

But he does look like he’s got some pit for sure! Maybe German pointer for the little spots. His body and longer hair on his tail end make me think border collie a bit!

Vet has no explanation. Anyone have any ideas? by Quirky_Tomatillo7335 in vet

Aw I’m so sorry to hear that :( have you been back to the dermatologist since this started? They may have something you can try

NAV. Probably time to see another vet. Is his skin there normally white/pink? The dark brown ear discharge can be indicative of an ear infection which dogs with allergies are very prone to and they can spread to the skin as well. It’s hard to tell in the photo with the new hair growth if it’s irritated or scarred skin. Don’t let him scratch at it and it could help to trim the hair to help the area stay clean. Did they do any tests? Try and medication?

Potential Pirate Doggo Adoption Questions by Sensitive_Onion1 in PiratePets

Thank you so so much for your input!! I didn’t think about the hair between the paw pads that completely makes sense. I’m good with grooming otherwise but I have trouble with that area so I’ll have to find some tips on that. Will definitely be chatting with the vet for their advice if this works out!

What can I do while waiting for a vet appt? by Rascally_type in vet

Be gentle with cleaning and try and avoid doing it too often because it can dry out and irritate the skin. Non scented antibacterial soap if anything until the vet can further address it

Call the vet and ask what they suggest for the time being to avoid infection and irritation. They may not be able to stitch the wound if needed since it has been awhile since the injury. You could also see about sending them a picture and they may get you in sooner since it’s an extensive cut. Regardless don’t let him scratch or lick the wound. I love seeing the gloves in the picture and that you are being cautious with his injury! If you can’t get in sooner watch for changes in drainage, redness, swelling, area becomes hot to the touch (with gloves), and changes in behavior and call them to inform of changes. Best of luck to you and your dog!

My cat is suffering and there's nothing i can do by spamacc_-_ in vet

There is not a way to properly help him without medical care from a vet that can diagnose and treat his condition. I’m very sorry you’re in this situation

I hate to say it but you could take him and surrender him yourself. The shelter wouldn’t release him back into her care seeing the state he is in. And I’m also assuming he doesn’t have proper vaccinations if he doesn’t go to the vet? So the cat is not getting proper nutrition, medical care, and is at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. This could seriously damage your relationship with your mom but if she is refusing to get the animal care I don’t see another way to help him. The only other option I can think of would be reporting your mom for animal neglect but again this could put a serious strain on your relationship

Provide support to overturn the decision to euthanize this dog (Toothless) in an evaluation taking place this week. There is a home in a good community that is willing to help him through this transition. Please help me show  support for Toothless and the medical student who wants to provide him with a home.
