partial paralysis
Posted on 2007/12/17 by PattersonMy 8 year old German Shepard became sick. I was gone and over the next two days and he became paralyzed. Front legs were really stuff, the back legs could move a little. I took him to a vet and took x-rays with no problems observed. Started him on an IV with antibiotics. I took him home after a couple of days and he is slowly getting better. If you pet or scratch his back along his spine, he will lose muscle function and sit down. At times he drags his left rear leg. At times he can not walk a straight line. After getting him back from the vet’s office, he could run up the driveway at approximately 6 mph. He is up to about 11 mph now and use to run at 16...

Not eating and Jaundiced
Posted on 2007/12/17 by LindaWe have a 7 y/o female cat that hasn't hardly eaten any food in 2 weeks and drinks just enough to barely keep hydrated. She's been tested for FIV and Leukemia and is neg., her blood work shows a low white blood cell count and slightly impaired liver function. She was given a routine of antibiotics earlier and recently a anabolic steroid shot to try to help with her appetite. She tries to drink and is able to a little, but her attempts at food are worse now and she is showing jaundice around the ears and the gums. She's skin and bones and does try to do her normal activities, just has no energy. I have some Nutri Cal and am debating on whether to try to force feed...

Problems following castration.
Posted on 2007/12/17 by SoniaI really hope you can help with this. On thursday we took our dogs to be neutered, one was absolutely fine no problem. My dog, Monkey, has changed completely - he was biting at his stitches at the vet so they gave him a collar - which caused him stress so we took it off. Monkey is just over 6 months and a shih tzu, he used to be off a nervous disposition but through walks and socialisation he seemed a lot more like his outgoing brother who we also own. Monkey apparently had both testicles moved so his was to be the simple straightforward operation. Friday morning we asked for some painkillers as he seemed to be in pain. Anyway in spite of these painkillers...

some thing wrong
Posted on 2007/12/17 by johnWHat would cause a cat to go around in circles and flop down. Normally the cat is very active, but has seemed to have lost all ability to move quickly, can not go down the stairs, but can go upstairs. Does not know where the litter box is. Seems to have no feeling on the left side of body. Could this have been a stroke or systems of a spider bite?

guinea pigs (not sadie)
Posted on 2007/12/27 by julieEvery time we get guinea pigs (we always get 2) they live for a few months maybe a year and they die. They don't eat or drink much if at all, their eyes become dull and sink in and they eventually lay on their side with shallow breathing. They blead through their but as we discover when we go to burry them. They got clened out every 3 days. We have a rabbit inside as well as Zebra Finches and a dove. They all are in one room. We tried disenfecting the cage and even let it sit for a year and a half before getting any more. Our rabbit isn't affected at all. Any ideas what might be happening and is ther any point to getting new ones?

strange behavior in old dog
Posted on 2008/01/03 by KathyMy 11 year old husky/sheperd mixed breed has been acting strangely for the past few days. She seems like she is afraid of something. She follows me around and trys to hide in small spaces. Right now she is laying behind the couch. She just doesn't seem right. Any ideas. I have heard that dogs will go off on their own and hide when they are dying, but she has been very healthy all her life.
