Hi, was wondering if you could identify the bug I attached. It’s almost like a dot in my palm. Was thinkinb maybe this is the reason why my dog has been itching and having crusty skin/hair loss patches. Not sure if the bug flies or just leaps. He is currently on bravecto though.

My german shepard got over excited about 3 days ago and missed a step coming back up them. As of last night, she seems afraid to go up them... she still flying leaps off them and isn't acting hurt or any differently behavior wise other than not going up the steps like she used to. This is the only way out of the house so I can't avoid them. What should I do?

Our 10 month old puppy has changed his eating habits from three times a day to maybe once a day. He is still very playful and bounds of energy. Weight seems to be maintained at 75 lbs. Is it time to slowly change his food to regular dog food? Only concerned because he was a chow hound to only eats in the evenings. It seem to start after his visit to the ER for a bee sting and benedryl. But that was several weeks ago. Still loves treats. Any suggestions would be great.

As you said rabies cant be pass from a muzzle to a person, and the vet told me they clean every muzzle everytime they used in a dog, then after my son touch the muzzle I clean his hands with sanitaizer and saw he has no bounds on his hands, then he used his Tshirt to scrath an eye ( no direct contact with his hand,only Tshirt), then he is NOT at risk to get rabies from touching the muzzle, clean his hands and use his tshirt to scrath his eye? Iplease let me know, thanks

We purchased "pet stairs" to help our dog get on our new bed which is much higher than our previous bed. Although we have stairs in our home which she bounds up and down constantly and easily, she doesn't seem to "get" the pet stairs. I've tried bribing her by putting a treat on each step (didn't work) and have been literally taking her legs and putting them on the stairs to show her how to climb them but no luck. She's a 9 year old miniature schnauzer, playful and in good health.

My 6 year old husky Hunter has suddenly decided he doesn’t want to come for drives in the car. He used to love it. Nothing has happened that I know of to make him scared. He will lay down and bark when I ask him to jump in the back of the pick up truck. I thought maybe he is getting older and doesn’t want to jump in, but he jumps and leaps around when off lead in the park. We lost our Staffie cross in January, and we were pretty lost for quite a while. He seemed to be better the last few weeks.

My kitten is like 2 months and she is getting super aggressive with me almost all the time she is acting very predatorial expected but all the time her claws never go down at this point she will see that I’m sleeping and boom jumps at my face I tried a spray to keep her off the bed but it’s not working she knows no bounds like what should I do to calm her down don’t have the energy to keep up she will enjoy my petting one minute and the next I will be under the covers trying to eat me literally.

She jumps up to her to ledge and I am just wanting to know of it is healthy for her to jump that high sometimes she uses her log house to climb on for a higher jump but mostly she jumps over so is it healthy for her to jump this high

My dog keeps jumping the fence.

My two six month old pups are labs they have recently learned to jump our fence, (4ft), and since have become to escape every chance they get. I thought punishing them by putting them in kennel when they return home, no treats, securing they on leash while outside, and staying outside until they completed their business and bringing them back into kennels. I'm at a lost at this point. I have extended the fence, I have blocked areas I know behavior is occurring... nothing is working.

Panda sometimes hops when he runs so his right hind is non weight bearing he does it for 2 or 3 strides then continues normally does not look lame or stay lame and does not do it all the time ideas as to why he would do that ?
