My boy has some problems with his legs due to his age (2 years and 4 months) and I have been noticing this last week that he's having trouble grooming himself. He's still doing it in the same frequency he always did, but he can't reach his back and belly. How can I properly clean him without...

Thanks guys. He's doing much better now. The mouth breathing stopped last saturday and since then, he seems okay. Is it possible that it's just an issue related to the weather? The air is really dry this last few weeks and - coincidentally or not - he stopped doing the mouth breathing the same...

He stopped doing it an hour ago, I'll take him to his vet today and see what can be done. He's been breathing like this for a few days now and I was already about to schedule some exams for him. Thank you for the help, I'll definitely try the massage if it happens again.

My boy is breathing through his mouth for about an hour now and there's no emergency vet I can take him (it's almost 4AM here). I've tried giving him chocolate -he ate a tiny piece but couldn't eat more - and stayed in the bathroom with the shower on and it didn't work. What can I do for him now?

Oh, I've forgot to say: He has to take the antibiotic twice a day for one week.

She prescribed Sulfadiazine, 2 "drops" of it (I can try to put it in a syringe to see how much ml it has). I can't find the concentration, but it has some sort of chart showing what I think is the concentration. The names are in portuguese but I hope it helps. He's getting better today. He...

So... I took him to a vet, she said he has a a respiratory infection and prescribed an antibiotic. I just gave him his second dose of it, but he's really bad, I honestly don't know if he'll make it. I don't know if I should wait for him to get better or if I should think about putting him to...

I couldn't hear it properly cause the noise he makes when breathing is too loud. I heard a wheezing (don't know if that's the right word) but I can't tell if it comes from his lungs or if it's part of this noise he does when breathing. Do you think a dog's vet could confirm a infection?

The first time he had this weakness (about one month ago), it was only on the right foot (he was also limping his right hand). Now it's happening on both sides. When I pulled his skin it came back fast, but it didn't seem to snap back. I think there's a big change he's dehydrated when I think...

Oh, one more thing: he's also sneezing .It started about one hour ago, I don't know if this is relevant, but I think it's better to add here in case it's something important

My 26 months old boy is sick for 4 days now and I don't know what's happening to him. He's not eating or drinking any liquids and he's very weak. He was okay on saturday night, and suddenly, on sunday he was already like this. On sunday night he had drink more liquids than normal (he doesn't...

Thank you. I'll wait a few more days to decide what to do based on the temperature. Some weather sites are saying that it'll be about 32°C there the entire week. If it doesn't change I won't be able to take him :/

First, I'm not sure if this is the right session to post this, so feel free to move it to the right one if needed. I'm going to travel in a few weeks, I'll stay away for one week, and I don't know what to do with Tommy. He's almost 26 months old and unfortunately he doesn't have a cagemate. He...

Thank you guys, I'll do that. I didn't understand exactly what you said about the sock + the ramp. Could you send me a picture of how it looks? I just want to be sure I'll be doing it right. Just to update: Tommy stopped limping yesterday and now he's already walking and even running normally...

He's 2 years old. I'm almost sure he hurt his arm bc he had little space in his cage. I had to let him in the cage and put it in another place at the house cause it was a hot day and my bedroom (where he normally stays and where he has more space) it's the hottest place in the house. Basically...

I think Tommy sprained his right arm yesterday. I came home at night and he wasn't using his arm to walk. He sprained his leg a few months ago and he was acting normal, but this time he's more lethargic. He seems to have more difficult to walk and hold his food. I'm giving him Arnica CH30 for...

I still wasn't able to buy organic soy baby formula, but I'm giving him oats mixed with soy milk and water. Is it ok to give it to him permanently? I also gave him a soup with potato, soy protein and carrots. I'm giving him watermelon and melon almost everyday. How frequent should I give him...

I agree with you. Even though the Carprofen seemed to play a part in it, I don't think this was the only problem. Basically, he had a appointment with the vet that day and he always get stressed by it, so I didn't worry when I saw that he didn't ate or drank water while we were there and during...

- I'm spending more time next to him. He doesn't like people touching and grabbing him, so I grab him for 5 minutes a few times every day, let him and his home with me on the bed at night (I go to sleep very late so I'm spending almost the entire night with him on the bed) and I also let him...

He died less than a hour ago :/ He wasn't feeling well since 6AM (it's 3PM now). I tried to give him water but he couldn't even keep it in his mouth. I left him with his cagemate while I was getting ready to go to the vet and then he died. I wouldn't give him Carprofen anymore and I was going...
