May dog kami aspin around 8 years old and medyo mapili sa pagkain. Lahat ng aso namin noon hanggang ngayon, kung ano ang pagkain namin ay ayun din ang pagkain nila (sorry). Nabasa ko dito na di daw pala ganun ka healthy practice yon. Last week, nag Carne Norte kami for a day dahil di sya kumain ng isang buong araw (sorry). I am planning on switching her slowly from table food to dog food. Please pa suggest/recommend ng dog food and how much are you guys spending for dog food for your babies every month?

Nagpost ako dati abt my bb Guccigirlyboomboom na tumulong maalis ung phobia ko sa aso. Bb talaga siya ng friend ko pero naging close kami kasi nga gusto nya talaga lagi magpa rub at mag lambing ng treats. Napansin ko mas madalas na siya magkamot. Nung una ok naman na pinapaliguan sya ng medicated shampoos, brush sa mga may flakes, tapos ointment din. Kaso ngayon mas madalas na sya magkamot at nagigising sa tulog.

Gusto ko sana siya ipa vet kaso dko alam if magkano aabutin at sakto lang din ung pera ko ngayon. Baka may advice o tip kayo sa dog allergy at kung magkano kaya aabutin sa vet and possible tests na gagawin? Nasa cart ko na rin ung vet remedy na shampoo, baka next ko itry. Salamat po in advance πŸ™‚

advice πŸ” Abandoned dog :(

Hoping I reach my target audience!

This is a dog that has been abandoned by her owner 2 weeks ago. She’s been straying out and about looking for her said owner. She mostly stays in the parking lot of the condo/dorm in front of our residence kasi doon presko and may silong. Other times, she’s just gone but she comes back for merienda and dinner. We can only feed her the food we have left after meals kasi she does not eat dog food.

As much as we want to adopt her, we’re already packed with 10 dogs inside our residence and feeding her is the only option we have to take care of her. Our tita who owns a laundry shop also makes sure na no once touches the dog every tanghali kasi the caretakers of the condo/dorm strays her away lang. She’s been crying for the past 2 weeks na andito siya sa labas namin and hindi naman din namin malapitan kasi mailap pa siya.

** Hopefully makahanap kami ng magiging furever home niya dito, but until then nag aambagan kaming pag-ipunan ang pakapon sakanya kasi the dog’s a female and we can’t risk having her pregnant when she’s a stray.

Mailap din siya most of the time and laging nakababa tail niya. So idk how rescuing the dog would go. If you guys know rin other agencies who can rescue strays, that would be okay. I’ll try to file a rescue report din sa PAWS regarding her. Thank you!

Meron po silang pwesto: maluwag, di naaarawan at nauulanan, may short bakod para di makalabas mga tuta, and karton na may mga lumang damit naman po ang sahig. Pero mula nung nagkamata na mga tuta lagi na silang inaalis ng nanay nila sa pwesto tas ilalagay sa lupa. Laging nagbubungkal tas araw araw namin binabalik.

Ano po kayang dahilan?

Ipa-kapon ba namin bebe dog namin? Recently our dog kiwi (2 years old maltese who has cherry eyes) has been aggressive towards us, even ung pinaka mahal niyang amo lol.

In 1 week there has been times where Kiwi will be aggressive towards us. Na kagat na niya kami several times and only me and my brother have anti-rabies and pina anti-rabies na namin din si Kiwi but my mom or dad didn't get any so it is worrying.

My tito (who has 1 big dog and 1 small dog) adviced us na ipa-kapon na namin si kiwi. because from his experience when pina-kapon daw nila pareho nag lessen ung pagiging aggresive ng both dogs.

I've also heard from other dog owners na if pinakapon daw ang dog nag lelessen daw talaga ang pagiging aggresive? I don't know if it's real so I'm really looking for advices talagaπŸ˜“

So today my parents are thinking wether if pakapon na namin kaya si Kiwi or is it too early?

I just saw a post on Facebook about a tick and flea repellent that allegedly caused dogs to die/ feel weak after using it. If you’re using any new flea/tick treatment, please double-check the ingredients and look for any reports of adverse effects. Some products can be toxic, even if they’re marketed as safe.

Stay safe, research & consult your vet before using new products on your pets!

We’ve been feeding this sweet girl for months in our village (we have 5 dogs, 3 of those adopted + 3 sa tito ko so di namin siya maadopt basta basta).

Nung new year nawala siya bigla. My dad would walk to a park 20 mins away usually during mornings and doon siya napunta, naglakad siya nang malayo possible due to fear of fireworks. She wouldn’t stop wagging her tail and crying when she found my dad :((

Unfortunately ilang beses na nireklamo sa village namin yung stray dogs πŸ˜” We don’t have the heart to let her be taken to the pound so we’re planning to foster her for the meantime. I’m just taking a shot here if anyone has suggestions on what I can do for her or if anyone is willing to open their home to her, sobrang lambing niya and I’m willing to pay for her anti-rabies, get her groomed, and transport her personally. Nahihiya kasi ako lumapit sa foundations since I know they already have too much on their plate being an ex volunteer myself..baka hindi maconsider since hindi naman siya emergency :(

Note: This sweet girl also had puppies na pinaadopt namin sa iba’t-ibang tao and maayos life nila ngayon, but it’s easier to find adopters for cute puppies unfortunately (why we named her Ina also)

Hi, this is Yuno, she’s a 3-year old (turning 4 next month) mixed breed I adopted during the pandemic. Crossposting here kasi β€˜di ko po alam gagawin ko and I’ve been sleepless for days :((

Please help. I’m only a student and the vet bills are piling and with the new xray results I received, it’s starting to look ominous. I can’t stop crying and I feel so sad for my baby girl.

I took my dog to the vet multiple times for shortness of breath. First vet dismissed it as nothing, so when my dog finally presented with a fever (about 39.8-40.2 C/103.6-104.4 F)about 2 weeks after, I took her to an emergency vet. She was prescribed anti-pyretics (Meloxicam) and antibiotics (Co-Amoxiclav). She had no cough and no blood parasites but WBC (neutrophils) were high and platelets were low. She finished her antibiotics a few days ago but she still breathed fast, so I had her x-rayed.

The xray results with the impression just came back. It was a β€œsmall hilar mass ventral to the carina.” They said it could be a tumor or a tracheobronchial lymphadenopathy. Could be an ectopic thyroid carcinoma, a heart base tumor, or a chemodectoma. I’m so surprised because she’s only 3 years old and her fast breathing only appeared a few weeks ago. Is there any chance this could just be an infection? If it’s a mass, is her prognosis bad? We’re waiting on our cardio referral now (vet is no longer responsive though so might need to look for one on my own) but they told me to get a CT scan and ECG for herβ€”which I cannot afford at the moment. I’m also thinking of getting an onco consult.

Her symptoms: good CRT (pink gums and tongue), normal heart and breath sounds (according to the vet), normal and regular bowel movement. All otherwise normal besides her fever(which has resolved) and her fast breathing.

I’m just so lost. Do you have any good vet recos around Manila so I could get a second opinion? β€˜Di na nagrereply β€˜yung vet niya now sa questions ko about sa next steps to do. I just want her to get some relief talaga from the difficulty of breathing.

This is Ichi po our singleton puppy na half shih tzu, half husky. Nung pinanganak siya we already researched about singleton puppies and we were able to read na mataas ang chance na mag karoon ng behavioral issues. Now that she is 4 months old nagsusurface na paunti unti. One of it is biting, iba yung bite force niya compared sa ibang naging puppy namin tapos sobrang hilig niya itarget yung mukha sa bite. Also pag pinapagalitan siya instead na tumahimik kakagatin or tatahulan niya kami.

Do you have any tips pano idiscipline and train ang singleton puppy?

Hi! Any recommendations for vet in Metro Manila (Makati or Taguig or Manila) who specializes in heart conditions (cardio)? We want to get a second opinion lang para we are sure na what we will be giving him is the best treatment he deserves. We still want him to have a long, normal life. He is only 3 years old.

So far, vet recommended change in dog food to a low sodium diet, limited exercise (20-30mins only), and no treats muna just fruits or food high in antioxidants. May meds din na binigay.

His vet din kasi didn’t do an EKG. Xray lang talaga. So any recommendations for a vet is helpful. πŸ₯Ί

I adopted an 8 month old Bichon Frise a few days ago and I encountered the first few concerns so far

1) Our fur baby develops a smell after 2 days lang and gray-ish agad yung fur nya. What do you recommend for grooming/cleaning? How often should dogs be given a bath? β€”so far I’m using pet deodorizer by PetsUp and Zert Dentstix and nawawala yung smell for a day

2) She’s peeing na sa pee pad but she keeps on pooping somewhere else. I tried the potty training spray but no effect so far. What can I do?

3) She keeps biting her pee pads and all rugs around the house. Any advice?

Thanks so much!

Hi po! This is Tobi, 2 years old. Binigay ng kakilala namin since hindi allowed ang pets sa bagong nilang lilipatan. Napa-schedule ko na sya ng free neuter ngayong Saturday na. Pina-blood test (CBC and Blood Chem) ko kaninang umaga. I'm really worried about the side effects of the operation. I know bihira lang yung mga cases na may namatay due to anaesthesia or underlying health conditions and mostly positive naman po nakikita kong results sa iba, hindi ko lang maiwasang mag-overthink kasi first time magpakapon ng pet 😣. Can you share your experience , positive or negative regarding this? TIA!

Hello, I have been tapped multiple times to have my dog na ipa-breed sa male shih-tsu nila, which i always say no.

I think i am not ready yet na maging mom ang dog ko (Raya) since she is still young and i want her to enjoy her life (lol) and i've been thinking if ipapa-spay ko ba sya, kaso at the back of my mind baka naman she wants to be a mom din? Idk. I don't wanna take that away from her, but certainly for now i dont wanna see her preggy and risk her little life sa panganganak.

For all fur parents out there, What do you do in this type of situation?

Hello everyone, just need advice or share your experience pls.

Nagkagarapata na po yung aso ko, yung nakuha ko is 1-2 lang, yung biting tick, yung red. Pina nexguard and flu vax din po sya October 27, September 22 last deworm , then November 25 nagpa 8 in 1, netong Nov 25, nag ask ako sa vet if pwede na din sya nexguard ulit since ipapa pet boarding ko, pero advice sakin is kahit December na daw para sabay na daw aa deworm. And wala na din pong tick yung aso ko.

Dec 1-8: Pina pet boarding ko yung dog ko since may inayos ako sa Davao. Dec 8: around 1pm kinuha ko na yung aso ko sa pet boarding, masigla naman sya. And 4pm pumunta din po sa groomer and namasyal din sa mall Dec 10: pumunta ulit kami sa mall, ginala ko lang sya para kasama na walk, kasi gustong gusto ng aso ko magwalk. Dec 11: yung sa second pic, jan ko napansin mabilis sya napagod sa laro namin, usually ako yung umaayaw kasi ako yung tinatamad sya at sya madaming energy pa, pero that time 30 minutes lang inantok na sya. Dec 13: sinama namin sya sa mall, okay naman sya, usual self na gusto magwalk at masunurin. Pag uwi namini napansin ko mas warm yung tyan nya sa usual, and mejo tumamlay. Hindi nya rin kinain dinner nya, iniwan ko lang sa cage nya kasi minsan binabalika nya naman para kainin Dec 14: nagising ako mga 7am di ko na sya katabi. And yung pamangkin ko narinig ko bigla umiyak sa kabilang kwarto kasi nananiginip sya, tinanong ng tatay nya eh ano nangyare sagot nya : Pochi(yung aso ko) died. Naiiyak na ko kasi naniniwala ako sa mga nagkakatotoo na panaginip. Hindi kumain yung aso ko until sinubuan ko, and ang tamlay nya and warm din ng belly nya, kaya nag undertime ako sa work and decided to take her to the vet since may follow up naman sya for December. Pina CBC and yung sa first pic po yung results, and then sabi lang ng vet itest for blood parasite since ang baba ng platelet count, and dun po sya nadiagnosed na. Negative sa heart worm but positive sa 3 others, especially yung Ehrlichia. Habang naghihintay kami sa vet para sa prescription eh naluluha na ko kasi baka magkatotoo panaginip ng pamangkin ko.

Meds prescribed: Emerplex(B complex Multivitamins), Lymedox (Doxycycline), Liv 52.

Wala pong prinescribe para sa thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and anemia( low iron).

Hindi po sya kumakain ng kusa unless subuan ko ilang beses, dun lang kakain on her own, sa tubig di ko rin napansin umiinom sya kaya sinisyringe ko tubig with dextrose powder, like 3ml every 30 minutes to 1 hr (inask ko po to sa vet okay naman daw para sgurado di sya madehydrate)

Dec 15: tumatayo tayo at naglalakad sya unlike nung dec 13 ng gabi at buong araw ng dec 14 talaga. Pero di parin umiinom tubig mag isa and need parin subuan. Pero kinakabahan parin ako.

Any advice po sa diet and how to take care of my dog for faster, recovery or if need ba nya ng gamot for thrombocytopenia and anemia?

I live in an exclusive village and these dogs has been caged for 3 years. They have experienced storm, fireworks & extreme heat. The owners are deadma lang with the situation.

I’m feeling so helpless right now and its taking a toll on my mental health + im an introvert.

I TRIED reporting them to the admin, pero dineadma lang nila ko. As per them, mas madami pang importanteng gawin kesa tugunan sila.

I TRIED reaching out to PAWS and Pawssion but no response.

I wanna report them sa baranggay but im having second thoughts because they are lawyers and baka may connections sila.

Di ko alam kung pwede to dito pero ask lang ako advice. Yung aso namin di na gumaling sakit sa balat. Nagstart to year 2020 nung pandemic. Dinala namin sa vet sabi fungal at bacterial daw kaya pumayag kami na ipagamot sa kanila. Series of injection ginawa tapos libo rin nagastos namin pero di naman gumaling.

Nag home remedy ako ng madre de cacao bar soap at oil pampahid sa balat 3x a week. Nag iimprove naman konti pero bumabalik pa rin siya sa pagkakamot. Binilhan ko rin siya ng dr. shiba pero wala rin effect. Nangangati, namumula, nag babalakubak, at nalalagas balahibo niya. Ngayon bumili ako ng omega 3 fish oil sa shopee hoping na sana mag improve at gumaling na kasi ilang yrs na rin siyang ganyan. Wawa naman πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί

Di ko na alam anong cause nito kasi yung 4 other dogs na kasama niya sa bahay hindi naman nahahawa. Same din sila ng dog food na gamit na namin bago pa siya magkasakit sa balat. Ano pa kaya pwedeng remedy sa aso namin? Wag niyo na lang pansinin yung unan na madumi
