Iams

Thank you Linda G, MS, DVM for your answer yesterday about the IAMS puppy food for Coco Mocha, who's 8 weeks old. She's a Yellow Lab / Black Lab puppy. I have another question for you why would she eat her poop?

My 15 week old kitten keeps eating my 9 year old's Rx Hills Science C/D dry food - she prefers it over her kitten kibble. I'm having a hard time keeping her away from the adult cat bowl. She came to me eating Iams kitten kibble & I'm in the process of transitioning her to Hills Science Kitten dry food. Should I be concerned about her eating the Rx food?

We have had our 4 month old jack russell/shih tzu for 2 weeks. He got his first vaccines and wormer last Saturday. (Previous owner gave no vet care.) He is and has been having loose stools (not diarrhea) and poops in his crate nightly even though we don't feed past 6pm and walk him tons. He poops 5-6 times daily. I feed 1/2 cup iams puppy food 8am (he doesn't touch it until lunch) and around 5pm. Is the frequent loose stool normal?

I believe my cat has anemia. He has white gums, constantly drinks water and constant urination, because hes old he no longer cleans himself so he ends up with mats on his chest and arms from drooling. Is this a sign of kidney disease?

Duke needs his nails trimmed badly they are long over due, Ive been trying to trim them myself but I don’t know what I am doing. I’d take him to a professional but I’m afraid he might nip the groomer. Duke is super sensitive about his paws. Is there something I can give him to help? Maybe some melatonin? Zylkene?

I have a Tibetan Mastiff female dog and she her age is 14+. The skin around her breasts have become very soft and while she licks that area it starts to bleed. I have been putting ointments to make the areas heal but it doesn't help. Please suggest what needs to be done. Thank you!

My dog just ate half a package of cooked bacon. Should I be concerned?

Hi there. My bunny was spayed yesterday and today she has been eating lots and pooping and peeing regularly. Before she was spayed she loved to flop down on her side to lay down but now when she tries she cannot get herself back up and kind of freaks out and flops back and forth. Before she does it she sort of leans to one side (the side with the ear where they put the IV. They also tried to put the IV on her front paw on the same side but couldn’t find a vein so it’s quite raw)

My dog has red sores and scabs that are raised above the skin, they do not weep and feel tough and dry, he has also got excessive hair loss in the same areas. I believe it could be spreading. He is a 12 year old Staffordshire bull terrier. Thanks

My dog s acting kind of strange. He has been having white eye discharge for the last week. He often gets ear infections due to allergies but I’ve been cleaning his ears. This afternoon he started acting restless. Not able to settle. Panting more than normal. He cried a few times standing up. I palpitated his stomach and moved his legs, no reaction. He is walking, eating and pooping/peeing fine so far... he seems anxious/needy. Is this a medical emergency or can it wait and see?
