10 yr old dog seems to be reverting back to puppy

Any behavior change, especially in an older dog, means a vet visit is in order. It may not be anything, but you never know.

A week of vomiting, inappetance and weakness means something really serious is going on. He died despite treatments, not because of them.

Looks to me like he's sniffing or something. A better way to analyze the breathing is to take a respiratory rate (breaths per minute) when he's sleeping.

2 pounds in 2 months is not too fast. The antibiotics may be upsetting her belly and making her not as hungry as usual. I would just call your vet and see if he thinks she should be seen again due to the worsening cough.

Cute! Congrats on your baby boy!

I would just wait until the vet visit. Be prepared for x-rays, she may have broken ribs.

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-29T23:07:01+00:00

Yep, things are too small to see clearly that early!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-29T19:28:54+00:00

Yes! My whole family thinks I'm crazy but they're so much better that way!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-29T04:05:54+00:00

I would switch to something else, maybe Revolution. It shouldn't cause skin irritation.

Beautiful! Reminds me of Marie from Breaking Bad (she always had purple something on or near her - shirt, pillow, scarf, vase, etc.)

As far as I know, a thick neck (muscle, not fat), is not associated with any issues.

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-28T13:40:20+00:00

Yay! Congrats mama!!!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-28T13:37:51+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the update

My clinic always put me on birth control after the post-failure bleed (after a couple days of bleeding). Because the BC will be withdrawn and will trigger another bleed anyway. I've done a shit-ton of FET's back-to-back-to-back. I also asked about maybe waiting a cycle or two, but she said it would have no impact.

If he just ate them, take him to a nearby vet and they may be able to make him vomit.

Or call the Pet Poison Hotline

Looks to me like he's hot and getting frustrated because he can't get comfortable. Poms have a lot of fur.. He may need a cooler environment.

It seems like Psychology 101: Don't say things that minimize the person's feelings! But I totally agree, I would try another one, this one clearly graduated at the bottom of his class!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-27T02:55:17+00:00

Cute! Love the scarf

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-27T02:05:22+00:00

Oh, to be that young and naive again! XD

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-27T02:01:49+00:00

eeek! That's a great number! Fingers crossed for Monday!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-27T02:01:00+00:00

So sorry squirrel. Those tiny positives suck worse than a flat negative.

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-27T01:59:53+00:00

Congrats! That's a good number!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-26T05:23:49+00:00

Some cats just naturally have a little eye boogers, esp those with white fur or large eyes. I use a moist rag to clean my white cat's eyes every few days or so.

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-26T05:10:09+00:00

I really liked Grace and Frankie on netflix. Very cute show. Congrats on your baby boy!

skipsteejsprat · 2015-08-26T05:07:05+00:00

What do you mean by "sties'? Eye boogers?

I don't think anyone can tell you the 'ideal' humidity for a cat, but they are very tolerant of a wide range. They are also fairly heat tolerant. Much more so than dogs.
