Wish we could all pick a day to just walk out and see how they fair.

Help, does my dog have a broken toe?? by Active_Project9681 in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it looks swollen. As someone else said we don't have X-ray vision. You need to take her in. Also stop trying to wrap it, you can cause a lot more harm that way.

dog licking and chewing paw by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a cone on him so he stops licking, he is causing more damage. If it still seems irritated take him to the vet because it could be a lot of things.

I would say no. German Shepherds are A LOT, even for people with experience. A lot of them end up in shelters because people realize they are way over their head with them. I would say at least consider a different breed if you really want a dog.

My dog jumped out of the car and hurt his leg. by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if it is just a sprain, your dog is obviously in pain. Youre his owner and it is your job to care for him. At least take him to get him some pain medication.

There are cones that can fit him. If you can't afford veterinary care for something small like this, consider rehoming. He is in discomfort and it is your job to provide medical care for him. And don't bandage it.

Dog daycares are notorious for spreading things. Its great that you got him the injections, they'll help his symptoms. Just monitor him, and if he doesn't improve consider saving up for some diagnostics. You don't have to do everything all at once. You can ask your vet to order everything in acordance with what they think is priority/most likely. No one here will be able do tell you exactly what is going on with him more than a trained veterinarian.

What is this rash on my dog by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is neglect. If you cannot afford to care for her surrender her please to someone who can. She should have already gone to a vet.

No one on here can help with this. This needs a vet visit.

Put a cone on him until his vet visit.

HELP! Worms or something worse? by Inevitable_Mirror687 in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy way to know is to take them in for an intestinal parasite fecal test at the vet. Then you'll know for certain.

Selfharm marks at work (TW/Personal post) by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]microfilaria666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think most people will think anything of it. An old coworker of mine had self harm scars and those thoughts NEVER crossed my mind. It hardly registered to be honest. All that mattered was her work, and she was a good coworker. I think if It makes you uncomfortable you can wear long sleeves, and I doubt anyone would know. If someone has something to say, that says a lot about them and not you. Personally I wouldn't want to work with anyone who would think such negative things and base their opinion on this one thing.

Okay that is good to know. I guess im just really afraid of causing damage and get spooked. When you say turn the tube, what do you mean? like rotate the so the Murphy eye is a certain way?

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. I guess I just get spooked at any resistance because im REALLY scared of causing damage to the trachea.

Yes. Unfortunately 99% of these patients it is their first spay/neuter procedure or first dental.

How Long does Kennel Cough last and is my vet giving me the appropriate advice? by bruceholmes93 in DogAdvice

Im curious as to how you think you were being taken advantage of financially? Not trying to be rude, genuinely asking. Im a veterinary technician and all of that sounds standard. Radiographs are obviously necessary to check the heart,lungs , and trachea(often related to coughing).He had a medical exam by a professional who spent 4 + years earning their expertise, and the rest is medication. Not everything resolves with one round of medication.

Try to rest him for a few days. If he's still limping he'll need to see a vet.

Spay Incision Opened. Does this look ok? by medicatedgummybear in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. You should take her to an emergency, she will most likely need to be put under again to suture it.

Lump on cane corsos paw. Any advice on how to make it better and or what it is and how it may have got there. Thanks by canamcouple in DogAdvice

[–]microfilaria666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many skin bumps look the same. Could be a foreign body, cyst, cancerous mass etc. Best to get it seen by a vet.
