To sum it up, my kitten is about 2 months old and has hemorrhoids. I don’t have enough money to visit the vet at the moment so please do give me that as an answer. I just want to know what I can do for the moment to treat it until I can take her. So will human ointments for hemorrhoid treatment work on my kitten? Thanks
and now the vet says she lost to much weight. Shes a super pickey eater. ive tried to plump her up by giveing her caned cat food but shell just lick the gravey and leave the rest of it. any sigestions?
My apartment complex told me about a month ago that they had received complaints about me and my boyfriend not picking up after our dog. I laughed and said this was impossible, but had a talk with the management to discuss it anyway. I explained that I could only think of two reasons why anyone would make such a complaint: 1. because there are large piles of waste in the yard right outside of our porch (which is fully enclosed) or 2. because often times we take Pugsy back into the apartment and then one of us goes immediately back out to pick up her waste. (We do this because she has allergies and being outside makes her itch, so sometimes walking her all the way across the complex to the trash can to throw the waste away makes her itch really bad.) The management thought it was probably due to the waste outside of our porch, and agreed that it was much too large to have come from a 20 pound pug. I continued to assure them that neither I nor my boyfriend would ever leave her waste out, especially because I was a vet tech for 2 years and saw way too many animals sick from feces to ever contribute to the problem. My boyfriend is the most conscientious person I know and is anal about picking up her waste even more so than I am. We never heard anything more until today, when I came home to find a fine for hanging on our door. It said that there were "numerous complaints" against us for not picking up our animal’s waste and thus we were being fined.
Naturally, I am livid. I understand that they are trying to follow policy, but how can they fine me if it is literally impossible for there to be any proof that I am not picking up her waste? The only thing I can think is that someone either: 1)sees her poop and then us take her inside (but if they looked outside for literally 30 seconds longer they would see us back there picking it up) or 2)hates us and wants to get us in trouble. I’m so upset because this just seems so unjust!! I can’t talk to the apartment management in person until Saturday because they have short hours and I have class all day tomorrow and Friday. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? What should I do??
***ADDED***
Ok, for the person who told me to "get real"? I have a veterinary order for Pugsy not to be outside any longer than necessary. Her allergies are literally THAT bad. And the complaint isn’t the problem; I really don’t care if someone THINKS they see me leaving dog poop. The end fact is that I’m not, thus there is no physical proof. Why are you on a message board used to help people if you are only going to give out condescending and rude answers?
Proplan but I was told when looking for food make sure the first ingredient is a meat, not corn, or byproduct. I thought corn makes your dog poop alot. Any suggestions, experiences with a dog on a diet?
I don’t have an American Field Lab. The vet thinks his bloodline is from overseas, Germany. He is a full blooded Lab and he is about 20-25 lbs overweight (according to my vet who breeds Labs and German Shorthairs and has since the 70′s)
We walk 30-45 mins up and down hills 2 times everyday and he runs loose about everyday for 15-20 mins.
I feed 2X a day, a little over 1 cup each feeding! I have a huge brown dog!
The AFL is half the size of the European Labs
I bought a teacup pomeranian about a month ago (I know that it was a bad decision on my part buying a teacup dog) however, ever since i’ve had him we had taken him to the vet about 7-8 times. The medical bills keep piling up because he’s not getting better. He had been treated for hypoglycemia and coccidiosis which one vet diagnosed him for, but now we’re giving him another medication for discomfort in his large intestines? Ever since I had my puppy (he was born on 3/16/08) he has been crying everytime he tries to poop, and sometimes it doesn’t even come out. We’ve been giving him this laxative for cats that the vet gave us, but he’s still not getting better and the doctors we’ve went to can’t seem to figure it out. His butthole is swollen, and he keeps tryin to poop every 20 mins, but only a small amount comes out. It’s not his anal glands, anal sacs, or anything like that. Please help me! I just want him to get better soon. His butt has been in discomfort for a whole month now!
