Why is my dog suddenly limping on his front leg?
Many things can cause this, including traumatic injury, insect bite/sting, behavior, or just like us if they fell on it weird or put pressure on it a weird way. Make sure to feel READ MORE
Many things can cause this, including traumatic injury, insect bite/sting, behavior, or just like us if they fell on it weird or put pressure on it a weird way. Make sure to feel up and down their leg to see where it may be painful and if you see the cause (such as a grass awn). If so, you can manually remove it, was the area with soap and water and keep an eye on it to see if any swelling, redness or pus oozes from the site in the next 2-3 days. If so, please take your dog in to see their primary care doctor.

What can you give a dog for joint swelling?

I would recommend taking your dog to see their primary care doctor to perform additional diagnostic tests. If it's limited to one paw, the likelihood of traumatic injury is high; however, additional tests would be needed if bacteria was introduced to site of injury. Culture and susceptibility test would be recommended to prescribe antibiotics if needed. Otherwise, your primary care doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the swelling.
What medications help with dog diarrhea?

Imodium is an anti-diarrheal drug that may help with symptoms; however, this may not treat the underlying cause. Some causes of diarrhea include change in diet, parasites, infectious or immune-mediated disease. Bringing your dog to their primary care doctor is recommended to perform a fecal flotation (to rule out parasites) and bloodwork (to see if there's any concern for an infectious process) and if any other medication may be necessary.

If your cat has a head wound, it would be best to send them to their primary care doctor or an emergency veterinarian to perform diagnostics and ensure the head injury didn't cause increased fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus) or other pertinent damage. If the wound is open, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics and pain medication, and may do some additional cleaning and debridement of the wound.

Unfortunately, there isn't any at home remedies you can do for a broken paw. Your cat would likely have to go receive diagnostic imaging (like radiographs) and get bloodwork done to see if they're a successful candidate for surgery, get surgery, and then have a cast or splint in place for a duration of time, depending on the extent of the fracture.

I am also an anxious person, so I completely understand! If they are up to date on their vaccinations, then the chances of you having rabies is very little to really none. The neck pain and loss of appetite that you are experiencing may be your body responding to an open wound. Just as it would be if you nicked your finger, there would be swelling, itchiness, pain and redness which is your body's way of responding to anything your open wound could be exposed to like (typically non-harmful and that your body is able to fend off if your not immunocompromised) environmental bacteria, and as you said, the neck pain may also be from sleeping wrong! Regardless, there is no need to worry :) However, if the pain continues after 4-5 days, I would recommend contacting your primary physician.

There are multiple types of medications to kill lice on dogs. Any oral medications would have to be prescribed by your primary care doctor; however, I would highly recommended ordering those. In addition, there are shampoos you can buy online (follow the instructions according to the bottle) as well as collars to help control lice infestations (and also kill and repel fleas and ticks) and other topical medications placed in between the shoulder blades (i.e. imidacloprid, fipronil or selamectin) that can kill lice. After bathing, I would also recommend using a fine-toothed comb to manually rid the lice (this can be bought online). Lastly, frequently washing their bedding and anything else they come in contact with (washing once a day or every other day) for at least the next 2-3 weeks is also recommended.

How do you tell if a cat's paw is broken?

Ridding lice on your dog and in your household is quite the process, so I apologize in advance. You can treat lice with medication; however, you would have to go to your primary care doctor for a prescription. There are also some shampoos available online formulated to kill lice, and I would recommend bathing your dog according to the instructions. After bathing, use a fine-toothed comb (you can purchase them online that are specific for ridding lice) to remove the lice as well. You will also have to frequently (every day/every other day) clean your dog's bedding and anything else they come in contact with for at least 2-3 weeks.
How do you treat a dog with a knee injury?
Hi there, unfortunately, I'm unable to provide you the best answer without doing proper diagnostics for your patient. I would recommend bringing your dog to see their primary care READ MORE
Hi there, unfortunately, I'm unable to provide you the best answer without doing proper diagnostics for your patient. I would recommend bringing your dog to see their primary care doctor, so they can perform a cranial drawer test to see if they have one of the most common knee injuries (cranial cruciate ligament tear). In addition, they would likely want to perform bloodwork and diagnostic imaging to ensure they will be a successful candidate for surgery and to see if there are any other fractures or meniscus tears. If it is solely the ligament tear, you can treat this with pain medications and strict bed rest for 6-8 weeks (or more depending on how strict the bed rest was). However, there is less of a chance for the leg to return to almost full/complete function if taken this route opposed to surgery.
How can I fix my dog's paw cut?

Washing the cut with soap and water, applying topical triple antibiotics, and wrapping the paw in vet wrap or elasticon and securing it with medical tape should help! However, if the swelling worsens in the next 2-3 days and the paw continues to be reddened or oozes pus, then please take your dog in to see their primary care doctor or an emergency veterinarian, so they can run additional diagnostics and prescribe medications specific for any bacteria or infectious agents the cut may have exposed them to.

Can I give my dog allergy medications?

Yes! You can give your dog allergy medications. I have personally given my own dog Benadryl. I like to go off of giving your dog 1 mg of benadryl per lb they weigh, given once or twice a day depending on severity (i.e. if your dog weighs 10 lbs, giving them 10 mg of benadryl in the morning and, if severe, another 10 mg at night but no more). If that fails, I would recommend taking your dog to see their primary care doctor or a dermatologic specialist. They may prescribe you other medications if you see reddening and loss of fur on the paws and belly and/or nose, such as Apoquel or cyclosporine for atopic dermatitis.
How do you treat lice on puppies?

Ridding lice on your dog and in your household is quite the process, so I apologize in advance. You can treat lice with medication; however, you would have to go to your primary care doctor for a prescription (one specifically for puppies; as some medications for adult dogs may be too harsh on the puppy coat). There are also some shampoos available online formulated to kill lice, and I would recommend bathing your puppy according to the instructions (again making sure to get one specifically for puppies). After bathing, use a fine-toothed comb (you can purchase them online that are specific for ridding lice) to remove the lice as well. You will also have to frequently (every day/every other day) clean your puppy's bedding and anything else they come in contact with for at least 2-3 weeks.

Hi there! Unfortunately, there aren't any home remedies I'm aware of. I would advise bringing your pet in to see their primary care doctor. Due to the duration, I would be concerned for collapsing trachea, asthma or pneumonia. Diagnostic imaging and bloodwork would help to find the cause of their consistent coughing/clearing of throat.
