Hi...thanos is under antibiotic treatment cause he was spayed 3 days ago...he is taking amoxicillin twice a day...ive seen change in his feces color...sort of a reddish color but not bloody...he is active and eating well..i havent changed his diet...
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is not likely due to the medications as that is not a reported finding with their administration. It is hard to know without being able to look at the feces, but if this truly is not blood in the feces, the reddish tinge is most likely due to pigment in the food or something he ate causing that change. Good luck and have a great day!

My dog is struggling to open her right eye and I think she is in pain with it. It is red on the inner eye (closest to the nose), it is also leaking clear fluid.
It seems as Roxie is suffering from an eye infection, possibly from an eye injury (scratch), you will need to take her to the vet in order to have the eye checked and she will surely need a prescription antibiotic eye drops in order to get better.

Hello again , My 69 lb Shepard/ Chow was at Vet for check up . Few day's later she is limping. The Vet gave me Deramaxx 75mg , they said she may have arthritis , it didn't help . Like many other's I cannot afford several Vet trip's . What can I do to
If she was just at the vet, call and tell them you saw little improvement. On that medicine. They will recommend you come in for a further work up, which is best. But often times they may be able to try another medicine first I would it recommend any Tylenol or aspirin at home as they can have side effects and are in the same class as the deramaxx such you will unlikely notice any relief Rest at home is a good option. You can also add omega 3 fatty acids and fish oils to the diet to help with joint pain from arthritis. Adding a canine glucosamine and chondrotin supplement makes a big difference Ce also. These can be purchased online or any pet store

All four lower legs of our dog look red just under the fur. He licks them, not a lot, but some. It's just in the back of the paw pads and up the foot a ways. We live in The Villages where lawns are treated with pesticides...could that be the probl
Red skin can be caused by several things including parasites, allergies to something in the environment, food allergy, contact allergies or endocrine disease. Each one of these problems is detected and addressed differently and I recommend to discuss with your veterinarian which one to start hunting down first. Parasites are often ruled out with an oral medication like Simparica or a skin scrape. Food allergy is best ruled out with a diet trial using a hydrolyzed protein. Endocrine diseases are detected with blood work. Environmental allergies are a little more difficult to detect but a response to therapy or a blood test can give an indication. Contact allergies are addressed by keeping pets away from things they are allergic to. Once you figure out and address the underlying cause, the redness should not come back. There are a couple things you can do at home and they can help but they may not address the underlying cause. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for do

Hello, my dog has several red spots on him that came out of no where on his back. They are flat, unraised, but are red. I’d say there’s two clusters with about 7 red spots in each cluster that goes down his back. He hasn’t been scratching, so I’m won
Dogs can get lesions like from a few things but the most common are due to bacteria or ringworm (which humans can get). The bacteria could be a reaction to the perfume but it could be due to many things including just a random infection. I think the Chlorohexidine shampoo would be the best option. Use it on the lesions every other day. Remember to allow ten minutes of contact time before rinsing it as this will maximize the effect. make sure he's not scratching at them. If the lesions don't get much better within 7-10 days or if you see they are getting worse, then have him seen by the veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post additional questions.
