MERGED: My dog is sick :( help!

[serendipity02]

ah okie! nakkuuuuuuu, 3k na naman ito!! tsk,tsk,tsk!

[babyjapnurse01]

^ okay lang yan, sis, love mo naman your dog eh.

[serendipity02]

oo nga naman. hehe!
nasanay kasi ako na pag askal, hinde alagain eh, pero feeling ko hinde sya askal kasi mabalbon at mahaba tapos tiklop ang tenga, kahit sino makakita, sinasabi saken may lahi daw yun. 

[babyjapnurse01]

^ baka nahaluan na ng ibang breed,

[serendipity02]

hello mga sis..
dinala ko sya sa vet kahapon and 50/50 na daw sya, ang saket nya, parvo. meaning hinde sya askal, may lahi sya. tinapat kame ng vet kahapon na its either kagabi o ngayon mamatay, ayun namatay na nga kaninang umaga.
nagtataka kame kasi may 3 aso pa sa bahay pero ang sigla-sigla naman, sya lang yung may saket. 
namatay na sya kaninang umaga.
ipapadisinfect ng alcohol at kumukulong tubig na may asin yung area nya. 

hinde muna ako mag-aalaga ng aso mga sis.. enough na muna yung 3 askal sa bahay..

mossimo died last May 2, and he is 12yrs old, i got him through a neighbor lang din na askal last 2000, namatay sya dahil sa katandaan at poop na dugo.
bossing died today aug 3 due to parvo.  siguro next year na lang ako mag-aalaga, yung may lahi na, yung may vaccine at alam ko kung saan talaga galing,besides ill be busy for the next few months since im getting married, hinde ko rin maasikaso eh.

thanks for all your help sis! =)

[rinapie]

^aww...oo, wag ka na lang muna magalaga. At sa pagkakaalam ko at least 3months sana na wala munang alaga ulit kung may namatay ng una sa parvo. Linisin na lang muna ng mabuti yung tinitirhan ni bossing.

[babyjapnurse01]

sis serendipity :

   Sorry to hear that. Sayang naman si Bossing But AFAIK sis, parvo can also attack askals kaya possible din na mahawa yung ibang dogs mo, medyo matagal din kasi incubation period ng parvo, please make sure to disinfect yung buong area sis, hindi lang yung area ni Bossing since parvo virus lingers, and mahirap maalis yan kahit sobrang linis pa, kung pwede mo rin ilipat siguro ng pwesto all the other dogs, mas better. Try using lysol or chlorox as disinfectant sis baka hindi kaya ng alcohol or ng mainit na tubig yan.

[phurple0515]

sis serendipity, sorry to hear that.  like what I've said, make sure na linisin mo area mabuti if ever you wanted to take care of a dog again.  pero i beg to disagree na may breed lang ang nagkaka-parvo.  all dogs, kahit anong breed, kahit askal, nagkaka-parvo.  kasi yong askal namin dati, namatay because of that e. 

once you have a puppy na, be sure na complete niya ang vaccinations plus malinis yong area, as much as possible wag na don sa area na place ng mga dogs mo na namatay sa parvo.

take care sis...

[twelve5]

serendipity02, my condolences...

Pag parvo 50/50 talaga. Matinding virus kasi yan.  For now You have to disinfect your house thoroughly and do it repeatedly and be sure not to miss a spot... Pati soles ng shoes and slippers nyo kelangan ma disinfect.

 And askals are not bulletproof. purple0515 is right.  parvo doesnt discriminate kung askal, mutt or pure... Vaccine talaga kelangan.

Its a good thing na rin that you'll be busy in the coming months. It will take your mind off your dog's passing.

Take care and best wishes!

[serendipity02]

bili na lang ako lysol later to have all the areas cleaned.
hinde na muna ko alaga ng sarili kong Dog, ang hirap kasi eh.. si mossimo, nagtagal nga sa aken, namatay nung MAy. si bossing, saglit lang saken, namatay din. mapamatagal o mabilis nagstay saken yung aso, masakit pa rin pag namatay.
dapat naman kasi talaga bantay bahay lang sila kaso kasi napamahal ng hinde inaasahan kaya masakit nung nawala. unlike those askals that we had before, na pag namatay eh dedma lang ako.

ill make sure na pag nagkaron ako ng aso, yung ok na talaga. yung prepared na ako emotionally, physically at financially.

[bugs]

so sorry to hear about bossing,  sis....  sad talaga...  rest muna your heart, sis...  know how
painful that is...

[jazzygelable]

Hi mga sis, I am in a dilemma about our dog.
Nagkaroon siya dati ng parang tumor sa right side ng nose. Pinaoperahan na namin so akala namin okay na. After two months, meron uling tumubo. We had him diagnosed and biopsied sa UP Vet and malignant tumor na daw kaya kahit ipaopera namin, babalik at babalik pa rin yun.

We were given options naman like we can go under chemotheraphy pero di na siya encouraged kasi too late na daw at lalong manghihina ang aso. Naawa kami sa kanya kasi yung tumor external and laging dumudugo. Kapag pinapaliguan siyempre di maiiwasan na matapik or mahawakan eh parang sobrang sakit na talaga. Pinapainom namin siya ng pain relief meds na reseta ng vet pero parang di gumagana kasi ang ingay niya kapag gabi. Eh di naman talaga siya ganun.

Ngayon, my parents are telling me and my sister na euthanasia/mercy killing na lang gawin namin. Ayaw naming pumayag pero di namin alam kung nagiging selfish na lang kami kasi parang ang hirap na talaga para sa kanya. Di naman as if makakapagsalita siya kung kaya pa niya. Haay.

[abuanddiego]

^Sis, kung hindi kayo satisfied sa diagnosis and treatment ng vet nyo, try to look for another vet. Magaling daw ang Vets in Practice, medyo pricey pero yung senior vet nila si Dr. Nielsen Donato is one of the best vets here.

foxylady...Coprophagia yung term for that. Meron ng nabibiling supplement to stop them from eating stools, Solid Gold S.E.P. (Stop Eating Poop). Pero nababasa ko you can add pineapple, pumpkin, garlic sa food nila para magiba yung smell ng poop at ayawin nila. Ang alam ko stool eating can be a sign of health problem, boredom, reaction to toilet training or minsan nasa genetics din. Usually kung health problem, it's either di nya masyado nadidigest totally yung food kaya paglabas feeling nya food pa rin or minsan lacking or sobra-sobra sa nutrients yung diet kaya sa feces nya na lang kinukuha. Ano ba ang food nya? Make sure na may schedule yung feeding time nya para macorrect yung toilet habits, few minutes kasi after they eat, mageliminate na sila so potty train mo sya at icorrect once lumapit at amuyin nya yung poop. Yung tzu ko mahilig din yun na after magpoop lalapit sya sa poop nya then aamuyin, I always call his attention para di nya ituloy at lumayo sya sa poop, ayun sumusunod naman isang tawag ko lang umaalis na. Call his attention right away pag nilapit nya yung mukha nya sa stool para alam nya na bawal yun lapitan haha!

Hi mga Sis

Help naman regarding our pitbull dog. Kasi one of her breast seems like may tumor or cyst sa loob kasi lumalaki and parang may laman sa loob. meron ba ganon sa mga dogs? and if ever pacheck, how much would it cost and can you recommend good vet? nakakaalarm lang kasi sobra laki na eh

[abuanddiego]

^Yes sis nagkakatumor din ang mga dogs, ang alam ko meron na ring chemo for dogs, nabanggit sakin yan ng vet namin last time. Di ko lang sure ang cost ng check up, pero I'm sure medyo malaki ang magagastos. Try Vets in Practice, Doc Nielsen Donato is their senior vet. Marami pang vet clinics na okay pero make sure that you talk with their senior vet at wag yung baguhan lang. San pala location mo sis?

[twelve5]

Girls, i need your opinions please.

My 3 yr old dog has elevated creatinine. Chronic sya. Mukhang he was born with that condition. The vet suggested that we castrate him while he is young and kaya pa ng kidneys nya ang surgery. Common daw kasi ang enlarged prostate... The thing is, im not amenable to altering him maski nung baby pa sya. Takot ako sa risk ng anesthesia. I know there are cases ng namamatay ang aso dahil dito.

I want my dog to live forever. Ayoko din sya mag suffer. Di ko alam at what age nagiging issue ang prostate. Isip ko i just wait at baka di naman nya maging issue.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

[newbie_po2]

Girls, need help also for my fur baby, Shiro.

Vet says he has very low blood platelet, liver problem (high SGPT in blood), and bronchitis.
May ubo, sipon, mahina kumain, fever gumaling na (thank You Lord), lagi sya nakahiga.
Nahihirapan ako kapag naririnig ko sya umuubo. Marami plema nakita sa x-ray nya.
Suggestion lagi ng vet is to confine him para mabantayan nila sya.
Pero nag-aalala ako baka walang mangyari kapag na-confine sya.
And siguro kung makakapagsalita si Shiro, sasabihin nya sa 'kin na he wants to stay at home rather than be confined.
Almost 2 weeks na sya forced feeding plus medicines.
Minsan voluntary naman sya kumakain.
It's a risk kasi pag na-confine. He could be better yet he could be worse.
Paano kaya gagawin ko mga sis?
This Christmas, all I wish is for him to get well. I love him so much.

[abuanddiego]

^^Sis, safe naman daw ang castration. Actually kung as pet/companion mas makakabuti ito para sa kanila in the long run. It can even lengthen their lifespan, ang problema lang talaga ay yung anesthesia. If I were you, go to the best vet clinics, and talk to senior vets at wag sa assistant vets lang. Since inadvice ka na rin ng vet kung ano ang mas makakabuti sa kanya, follow nyo na lang, iba kasi yung case ng healthy dog sa isang dog with health issues that needs castration. Even healthy dogs sis at risk sa prostate cancer, what more yung dog na may underlying issues na. As long as kaya naman ng katawan ang operation, wala naman sigurong mangyayare, sasabihin naman ng vet yung pwedeng maging issues during the operation. Sandali lang naman daw yung procedure, papatulugin sila then once magising after the operation pwede na rin umuwi. Then magbibigay ng antibiotics and other meds, for 2 weeks ata yan dapat iadminister. Madali naman daw gumaling kasi mild operation lang.

[abuanddiego]

newbie...ito sis ang lagi nyong tatandaan pag magpapaconfine, complete ba ang facilities ng clinic? malinis? may attending vet? kasi minsan kung maliit na clinic lang at luma na ang facilities mas makakasama pa. Pansinin nyo yung ibang dogs na nakaconfine, mukha bang malubha ang sakit? Kasi baka naman may sakit ang mga yun at mahawa pa ang mga alaga natin. Kung okay naman ang clinic, I suggest na ipaconfine na lang, pag inuwi kasi pwede rin naman pero dapat 24/7 may magbabantay sa kanya and make sure na magagawa yung binilin ng vet, like yung pagadminister ng meds etc. Minsan inaadvice din na iswero lalo na kung di kumakain, so isipin nyo mabuti kung kaya nyo syang bantayan habang nakadextrose sya. Anong naging improvement after almost 2 weeks of medicines? Saan ba ang vet nyo sis? Sana sinuggest nya na idextrose na since mahina pala kumain. Mas kakaunti daw kasi ang stock energy/nutrients ng maliliit compared sa large breeds. So mas at risk sila sa complications.
