I'm so sorry. He was a handsome boy and he left far too soon. Godspeed Turbo.

I'm sorry.

She ate kibble? Again? Good heavens, she's not only fine, she's great. Yippee!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. He had to leave far too soon. Godspeed Jerry.

It may only have been a week, but it was a wonderful week--as is clear from her expression in the last photo. Thank you for being there for her. Godspeed Jackie.

Betsy had one of those. There were two differences: her teeth were cleaner, and the excess was smaller and less red. My vet said that it can happen if a dog has had gum disease, which Betsy did when she had her adoption dental. I opted not to have it removed since it wasn't bothering her. It has since receded so that it is almost gone.

Woohoo!!! Congratulations to you and especially to Amy! Good job, Arco! (I'm glad you sent a grey. )

Food can do it. I'm having a similar problem with Cora. We have a tentative diagnosis of kidney problems (based on the specific gravity of her morning urine), but she can't eat the kidney support diets that my vet carries. However, since the excessive drinking started roughly when I changed her food, I'm hoping that's the issue. The change back did not start well (soft poop), so I don't know yet if I'm right. I agree: a vet visit is a good idea to rule out infection, kidney issues, and so on. You might also PM Batmom, since her Zema has been showing similar symptoms, and she's done a lot of experimenting with food.

I am so very sorry. He was far too young. Godspeed Diplomat.

Cora has been through two rounds of infected anals. The first time they were very very bad. The vet infused her glands, which she said was the normal procedure. She then said that the glands were so bad she would also prescribe oral antibiotics. She also re-infused the glands once or twice more at one or two-week intervals. The second time we caught the infection earlier, and she infused the glands once without adding oral meds. That proved to be sufficient. So, at least at the clinic I go to, oral meds are not used unless the infection is very bad.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so very sorry. What a heartwarming story of his recovery. Godspeed Kiowa.

I'm so sorry.

I'm glad you were there for her, and I'm very sorry that she's gone.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. What a lovely tribute to your special boy.

I'm so sorry. He left far too soon.

Blood tests for allergies. Some vets don't trust them, but they've helped me. But it may not be the food: stress (and everything else) can cause flareups, so steroids and antibiotics may be the only options. We also use Tylocine a lot.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed Walter.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I hope that it turns out to be easily resolved.
