Hey guys! I recently bought a new truck (used to have a 4-door sedan) and my puppy, Xena, absolutely hates riding in it. She’s about to be 10 months old now but my last car she absolutely loved riding in. Every time I would say “bye-bye” she would run to in whining and barking to get in. She was very relaxed in it, slept on long car rides, and very willing to enter. When I got my new truck, she was willing to get in, but I very quickly noticed that she did not enjoy it. She stayed curled up on the floor under the passenger seat and would not stay out of my lap. My fiancé has a 4Runner that she also enjoys riding in, which is of a similar height and visibility, it just seems to be my truck that she doesn’t like now. Any ideas as to why?

Hi everyone. I’m hoping to get some ideas before our vet visit because I’m really worried.
My dog used to have a healthy coat, but recently he developed severe hair loss, redness, and sores like you can see in the photo. He’s never looked like this before.
Has anyone experienced something similar? If so:
What ended up being the cause?
What tests did your vet run?
Was there anything that helped?
I’m not looking for a diagnosis, just hoping to hear from anyone who’s gone through something similar so I know what questions to ask my vet.
NOTE: This is months old picture. He doesn’t look like this now but there are few red marks as the medications did help but not fully.

her name is waffles, shes about 13 and she’s had teeth problems for a couple of years now. we should’ve taken her to the vet years ago but we never did (i am not an adult yet and i don’t have nearly enough money to help, so there’s nothing i could do about that).

she’s recently gotten a lot worse and we made an appointment about a month ago and the earliest she can get in is thursday (which is now in 4 days).

i can tell she hurts by the way she shakes, but the past few days i’ve realized she probably also has heart failure. she has these weird coughing fits, she breathes really fast, and she stumbles over when she walks.

i love her so much and i hate to see her suffering. she seems to feel a lot better when she takes medicine but forcing her to take it just for her to feel good for a couple of hours isn’t worth it for her quality of life.

does anyone think she will make it through her teeth being pulled? or even in good enough health to get it done? i think she can hang on till her appointment but it's awful watching her go through this. i am starting to think that it would be better just to put her down.

Is this interaction okay? (Minus the end?). This dog is my GFs dog and im really only used to cat body language. I want to lean that its okay, but i want to make sure. The kitten gets affectionate towards him sometimes and does this, but is kind of bipolar with him since she startles easily. They've cohabitated for about 8 months now

Sir Sable the knight had zero issues with his first 4th of July, not even the slightest sign of anxiety. He was chill, meanwhile his brother was so anxious he was puking 😕

I’m happy we could be in comfy & familiar place while we watched. He seemed to take it well, hopefully next time fireworks happen he will remember everything was okay!

He sat with me the whole time, and now he’s getting treats and playtime (:

Just posted about another issue, but also wanted advice on this. A few months ago, our now 1 year old dog, Leo, had to undergo neutering. During this he had extensive bleeding and was not clotting. As a result of this and a blood test, we learned he has hemophilia a, a disease that causes our dog to not clot and to continue to bleed until medical attention is given.

As this is an incredibly rare disease, i would appreciate advice from people who have undergone similar issues, or have any knowledge on this topic.

We greatly appreciate any support.

Additional info: we adopted him from a rescue at 8 weeks and he is a cavapoo havanese mix.

Found these weird white spots on my dogs paw and some dryness and irritation above. Any idea what it is??

What is happening to my dogs lips «bumps»? On one side they have turned reddish. Is it a bacterial infection?

I just noticed this morning that my dogs tongue is twitching only on one side. I thought it could be from him panting or something that I just never noticed. It’s been 7 hours and it’s still doing it. Is this normal?

This 50lb hound dog mix rescue (she's not snarling, she's enjoying a pup cup and I caught the perfect moment licking her face) has tiny weirdly spaced teeth. Do these seen normal for a hound? She's had a dental and I was told they're in good shape. But they certainly are funny little things. So they look damaged to you?

My dog walked to me and I noticed there was three tiny fly like insects in her ears. When I killed them she had these bites but can tics be so small?? I killed them so they shrunk but I have an image of their size and the bites they left on her. Any idea what this could be???

Hello everyone,

I adopted a pyr puppy who was placed in a shelter due to being attacked by some sort of doodle (large one) at 10 weeks old. She’s ready for full socialization now, but she gets so scared when she sees dogs in public. She will sometimes try to bolt on a leash if the owner doesn’t have a handle of their dog and it gets close to her. How can I try building her confidence around stranger dogs? She lives with two ACDs that she loves and has no issue with.

** I’m going to vet at 4 pm today **

Hey guys, I’m wondering if anyone else’s dog ever had this it’s like a swollen vulva and she keeps licking it and now she doesn’t want to get up to pee

My phone into a bad part in my life I'm currently living in a weekly hotel temporarily till I get back on my feet recently I found this dog that was tied up to a pole apparently he was left in a room with feces all over the room human feces. And then the owner left them in the rain no one wanted him and so he stayed there after he stayed there for two days I had to take him in b I'm not in the position really financially currently but he's such a sweetheart and I feel so bad for this dog. Anyways here's the question

His eyes look like they're so shut they did not look like this when he first was tied to the pole. I now need to take him to a vet I don't have the money for that right now until I just need someone's help if you look at the first picture please look at his eyes if anyone is a vet would be a huge help to just let me know what's going on.

. So my knowledge doesn't have any shots

Everyone ignored him and said he was sick and just kept passing him I now have him and he's currently gaining weight and honestly even though you guys can't tell he looks a lot better than I found the

My puppy is an 8 month old American Bully. She has a hooded vulva so she’s prone to UTI’s. She’s had one already and the other day she had a little bit of discharge (I only noticed it one day) and I immediately took her to the vet. She said with her only symptom being a little bit of clear discharge, that is likely not a UTI, but she could be about to go into heat.
I AM GETTING HER SPAYED. But obviously I can’t right now if she’s in heat. The problem is I have no idea if she’s in heat or not. She licks her private area every day, she’s always done that. I haven’t seen any blood. I took her to the vet on Thursday and now it’s Sunday and the vet said wait and see if you see any blood. So now I’m confused because I want to get her spayed but I don’t know when to make the appointment for her, because the vet said wait 2 months after she’s been in heat. Plz help, her area does look inflamed but that’s literally the only symptom I’ve noticed…
Sincerely
A stressed dog mom
