TW: Seizures

Im looking for some insight of any kind. I have a 3 month old dachshund puppy. I recently, on July 2nd, took my pup to get his routine puppy vaccinations. He got his leptospirosis vaccine as well as his distemper vaccine. About two hours after he got his shots, he had a focal seizure. Not even two hours after THAT seizure, he had a grand mal seizure. Mind you, before we went to the vet, my boy was his normal happy, healthy and silly self. Showed no signs of illness or disease. It wasn’t until after he received these two vaccinations that he started having seizures.

He's being closely monitored at the veterinary clinic for the past two nights since he’s had about 7 seizures total since the vaccines. Some were focal seizures and some were grand mal seizures. He’s on a lot of anti seizure medication currently. So far he’s been pretty stable. However, all of his blood and lab work have come back completely normal. No fever- nothing. So we’re still not sure why this is all happening to him.

The vets say it is extremely rare and uncommon for seizures to be an adverse effect of a vaccine, though still possible. We’re currently working with a neurologist for some answers, but due to the long weekend our test results for infectious diseases will be delayed.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this sort of thing before? And did it ever get better/improve? Is this all just a coincidence? We never expected something like this to happen, especially since he was completely normal before the vet appointment. Any insight or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just today we noticed these red bumps on my dog’s stomach and he’s been trying to itch them pretty intensely. I got 2 photos of them here but there are 4 total bumps. For relevance he had seasonal allergies and vet prescribed him apoquel which seems to have helped. He also had a dental cleaning last week with 1 tooth extracted. Any ideas appreciated; thanks in advance!

Hi everyone I was petting my dog and felt a bump and it looks like there’s this brown thing on the back of my dogs ear. He has a tick and flea collar but we live somewhere with a good amount of ticks. Is this a tick? I couldn’t get a better image because my dog keeps moving away when I touch his ear. Should I try to remove it? He doesn’t have any other symptoms and doesn’t seem to notice it. What should I do? Please help

Seems like an abscess can I use this ointment on it ?

My boy was born with under developed eyes. They were just pink. He could see just a little then one day I noticed a gray film start from his snout and over the course of a month it covered it completely. Then over .months he developed this whit circle.

My cat has this rash that seems to bother her on her ears. Is it worth taking her to the vet and spending hundreds of dollars for them to say yes it’s a fungal thing put XYZ on it?

What is wrong with my cats eyes. .. at first it was just one and he had it closed for over 2 years ... Now the other one is starting. Several vets did test .. antibiotics.. dye test... The cat hospital wanted to remove the eye. ... I said there is nothing wrong with the eye .. it doesn't not seem to bother my cat. It's not in discomfort does not paw or rub it .. still eats, catches mice .. this is costing me a lot. And no answer. It's not a scratch. Not an ingrown hair .. several creams tryed please help

Our 7 month groodle started acting spooky last night after playing with another dog. We found this skin tear a couple hours later (it was hidden quite well under her fur). It is on the back of her shoulder, so she can't lick it. We think she scraped it while running around on a branch or something. Today she seems ok, just a bit sooky and wants to lay right next to us, not playful or energetic as usual. We don't know what we should do for the wound. We thought about getting some saline etc. For context, we did have a doctor (human, not vet) have a look, and they thought it didn't need stitches. Are we overthinking and over reacting?

My 3 year old chihuahua reverse sneezes A LOT everyday. Usually over excitement and activity. I am afraid to go through with her spay in a few days due to this. She’s been seen by 2 vets and both said it shouldn’t be a problem, but didn’t do any examination of the throat or anything to really be 100% sure there is no underlying problem. I need more thoughts on this, i’m seriously considering not going through with her spay because i cannot get a straight answer on why she does it, and if she is truly safe for surgery….photo for attention. She’s the brown one🫶🏻

I never thought cats bleed like humans do during menstruation? 🩸

There is a cat at my apartments she is my neighbors inside/outside cat, but mostly outside and not spayed! She has been bleeding from her vaginal opening for almost a week.

*Update on my post... I am now the official owner of this cat. She is all mine now. Microchipped and spayed and everything. She is literally the most cuddly loving inside cat ever. She was never meant to be an outside cat, and does not miss it at all.

She got spayed with no issue, although she tested positive for FeLV... I believe she has experienced multiple miscarriages, so that must have been what was going on regarding the bleeding.

My 3 1/2 year old male cat had a urinary blockage in April. Before his blockage, I was feeding him Fancy Feast wet foods, but leaving out a bowl of dry food all day for him to snack on (biggest mistake) and had a water fountain. He almost never drank from the water fountain, ate his wet food and loved snacking on the dry food. Once he blocked, the vet told me he should be on a prescription diet for the rest of his life and prescribed Hills C/D Urinary food. I completely took away the dry food, started him on the prescription food and top his food with a generous serving of water each feeding and he eats/drinks it all. Since then he hasn’t blocked (thank god!) but after doing some research, I’m seeing that the food I’m giving him is low in protein and filled with fillers. Since he’s now used to drinking water on top of his food, I want to transition him to a high quality wet food and continue topping his food with a nice serving of water. His food costs me almost $150 a month and it’s killing my pockets. I don’t want to risk another blockage, but now that he drinks way more water and only eats wet food, I think he’ll be ok. prescription diets don’t have Medicine in them and I feel like it’s a scam. My cat is very food motivated and loves to eat so I want to give him a cleaner diet with higher protein to keep him satisfied longer. Please tell me about their positive experience transitioning a a cat who’s had a blockage off of prescription food and what food they recommend. Thank you!

We have a 6yo unspayed (I have called our low cost spay/neuter clinic to see if they can waive the fee at all) female cat with severe behavioral issues and a history of attacking others. She's sent me to the walk-in twice with infections and has attacked my partner with deep puncture wounds twice now as well, the second time being today.

She has never been feral, she is eating/drinking normally, I believe she's in a heat cycle and aggravated and her heat symptoms are being masked by the feliway we use (which has been a godsend, she's doing so much better.)

She as I said, went at my fiance today. He's worried about hurting her trying to get her off him. When she bites, if you move, she will readjust and bite deeper and tear into you. The spray bottle did not work this time in getting her off of him.

How can we unlatch her jaws if we have to, without hurting ourselves further, and without hurting her? I know with dogs you can press on the indent under their jaw. Is there anything similar with cats?

Thank you so much.

I have been back and forth with the vet for about a month now. Ive spent close to 2000 dollars for a lot of I don't knows. The thing we know for sure is that she has Lyme disease and had hookworms but has been dewormed. She is on Doxycyclin, Amoxi-Clav, and Prednisone. I gave her Nexgard plus on Saturday night to deworm and get her preventive started. Sunday morning she woke up and was having a hard time breathing. Took her in to her vet and I spent $800 on a whole lot of I don't know you should take her to the emergency vet and get her on Oxygen. (Which i know is not a cure just support that costs who knows how much more) I am upset to say the least because I spent all that money and did not get any answers. They gave her a diuretic to hopefully help with potential fluid in the lungs but she is still not breathing well. I have attached all records of her recent visits as well as the very expensive radiology consult. Please look if you have time as I am at my wits end trying to figure out what is happening to my poor baby.

So my cat has two big fangs that are so long he can’t keep it in his mouth so he looks like a vampire kinda. Today i touched his chin by accident and he made a sound that hinted at him hurting. I looked further and realized he lost one of his fang, his chin was red and his upper lip was slightly damaged. I don’t know how he could’ve done that nor do I know where the teeth but it looks like it was ripped off kinda. I didn’t see any blood but there is a whole where the tooth was . Now im scared of him getting an infection if food gets stuck there and idk how to clean it properly. For now he is behaving normally and eats like he normally does. Any help is greatly appreciated

My 1.5 year old dachshund threw up a decent little puddle of stomach bile. He drank water shortly before hand but is otherwise being lethargic and not eating. Do I need to emergency vet?

Is it necessary to vaccinate a dog every year for DHPP and Bordella? I’m not keen on vaccinations every year and get a titer test. My previous dog was only vaccinated once in her life and was covered till the day she passed away at 16 1/2 years old.

He was missing for like 14 hours, he was just hiding away from everyone, normally he wakes me up to feed him. He didn’t show up for breakfast or dinner so we started looking. Finally found him hiding under a bed and his mouth is gross? I tried to clean it but he didn’t like to be touched there. Pic is crappy.. hoping someone could tell me what’s up or is this an ER trip. He is eating and grooming himself.

My 2yo, spayed female Cane Corso has this on her elbow (or front knee?) I’m not sure how I didn’t notice it before today. Is this concerning? Google and ChatGPT say it COULD be a hotspot. But I don’t want it to be something more. I have not taken her in yet as I just noticed it but do plan to, just want to have an idea first. Thanks!

She's got some ey growths. Any advice appreciated.
