Behavioral Advice

• Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My roommate and I have had a recent problem develop with our dog and I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

My roommate owns a 4 year old, unspayed, female German Shepard and recently she’s developed, what seems to me, like anxiety.

Over the last week or so she’s been crying, pacing, and just seems to be in a lot of distress. Historically she would cry at the door briefly after we left, but would eventually settle down and sleep until we returned home. She would also previously whine whenever my cats would play and run around the house.

Now she is crying constantly and pacing around the house with this one specific toy in her mouth. She is continuing to cry at the door when we leave for work, but now it is genuinely upsetting to hear how distressed she sounds when we walk out. When we check the pet cam during the day, she is sitting on the couch and howling and the same toy is usually sitting next to her.

My roommate took her to the vet this afternoon and her physical exam and bloodwork were all normal. We are currently waiting on the results of a urinalysis to rule out a UTI. The vet did also not see any signs of a false pregnancy or pyometra.

There have been some environmental and routine changes. Our second dog recently passed away this past June, and I recently started a new job within the last month that is field-based when I previously worked from home. The German Shepard did not necessarily seem to be phased when our other dog first passed away, but I’ve heard dogs can experience delayed stress responses. The vet did say that a grief response being this prolonged is unusual, but I’m not sure if my not being home anymore could have triggered that.

The other odd thing is that she still cries after we arrive home. She will eventually settle down but it takes a little while. Our return does not seem to bring any immediate relief. I’m not sure if she’s having trouble regulating and self-soothing after being upset all day or what.

I personally feel that the vet was very dismissive of the possibility of her developing separation anxiety, even after explaining the recent changes, and so far nothing seems to be physically wrong with her.

She only cries in the house. She seems perfectly content on her walks and was fine in the car and in the vet’s office today. I’m just not sure how to help her. I hate that she’s been so upset recently and honestly feel like the vet and my roommate are being very passive in terms of problem solving.

She’s been eating and drinking normally. She doesn’t seem to be straining or experiencing any pain when urinating. There’s been no aggressive behaviors at all.

I just want to help her feel better. Has anyone experienced this before or have any thoughts on what could be going on?

Any idea what this could be on our 13 week old boxer girl - it’s seem to have gotten a bit worse. When I try to wipe it off, it looks like when you’d wipe dried blood - kind of brownish flakes. It feels smooth to the touch and not like scabs. It’s only on her belly. I have a call in to make an appt but just wanted to get others opinions.

No ER Vet near me.. dont know if im overreacting but i just wanna cry

• Upvotes

My baby girl Roo is having some kind of issue with her eyes. Earlier today, I noticed that her left eye was squinty, red, and watery. It has gotten worse over the course of the day and now her other eye is starting to get squinty and red as well. She is also acting slightly lethargic. Every place near me says its closed via google and the nearest open place is 2 hours away. I just wanna cry. She is miserable and idk what to do.

She will be 4 years old in December. Shes a lab/husky mix. Ive had her since she was around 6 weeks old. She got all her shots up to 6 months old when her previous vet gave her the last of her "puppy shots" ig you would call them. She is due for rabies vaccine though. She lives with one other small elderly dog and her kitten sister. She also has a pretty large yard she runs in that is partially on the side of a mountain. I suspect shes gotten something in her eye or maybe the cat scratched her during play. She doesnt have contact with other dogs and shes only outside a short time usually to potty

Onion Soup

2 Upvotes

My 10month old Basenji got into our compost and ate week old french onion soup which had been discarded. We caught her and immediately called the emergency vet who instructed us how to induce vomiting. Within 30-45min of ingesting the onions, she vomited four times. The first incident of vomiting had all the onions, very few in the second instance and the third and fourth instances were white foamy water and light yellow tinge (suspecting bile).

This occurred at 12:00pm, she is acting completely normal now. The vet instructed us to offer her some rice and water around 4:00pm.

I am an emotional and anxious mess. We live in a tiny, remote island, there is no comprehensive vet care here. We are flying to the mainland on a pre-planned trip with her Monday (we always take our dogs on vacation with us) and have contacted the mainland vet who will see her and do a blood test to ensure she is okay.

Can someone tell me straight and true, will she be okay?

2 year old calico. I've only seen this happen to her 3 times and it's only lasted about 2-3 minutes each time. Granted I'm not sure how many times it's happened when I'm not home.
She will go from completly normal, to laying down, disassociating , but still able to follow my movement/ motivated for treats. But unable to walk normally due to back legs acting like they're asleep/stiff? After a few minutes she's completly back to normal. Playful & eating and drinking normally too.

I do have plants but she's only nibbled on one once when she was a kitten & doesn't even notice or touch them now. And I've checked & none of my plants have bites or anything.

Is this something to be concerned about. dog nail split.

This is my almost two year old dog. to be honest i don’t cut his nails apart from his dew claw since he likes to scratch the floor for scent marking every time he goes toilet outside or if he smells something he likes. he ends up filing his own nails down short. vets know he does this and isnt concerned about behaviour. i’m assuming that’s how he did this. i don’t know how to sort this out or just leave it to sort itself out, but chances are he’s going to scratch the floor on this evenings walk and i don’t want him to do damage to it. do i cut it and where abouts do i cut ?

I let him outside as I live in a rural area no traffic off a dead end road and I’m the last house on road. Big yard. Few mins later I heard him crying for a few seconds. I open door and he’s limping inside. At first I thought it was his leg, but it wasn’t. His underside on his genital looks like this. Possibly a bug bite? Or something scraped him. We just got back from a walk and he’s eating drinking using bathroom as normal. I looked around and there is no opens anywhere. Anyone seen something similar before? Thanks!
