We had our 5 year old dog's anal glands expressed recently by our vets office but Once in awhile I notice a bad odor and discolored spot on the sheet she sometimes sits on. has anyone else had this happen with their dog?

Thank you for the reply. She hasn't shook or scratched at all this morning and now I'm really confused about whether I should still take her to the vet today. I don't know if the issur finally resolved itself through the use of the ointment or what but I hate to waste the vets time if nothing...

Hi everyone, we have a 5 year old Sheltie girl who has been shaking her head, and cocking and scratching her left ear for about a week now. Took her to the vet last week and was given some ointment to apply to the inside of the ear daily. There appeared to be no infection. The ointment seems...

Bloodwork was all normal, had a 'large' panel done and everything came back ok. Dog has stopped the night pants so I can only think the night panting was related to the temperature in the house. She is scheduled for a dental on Oct 13 so I'm sure I will learn more about the condition of her...

Gosh I wish she could talk and tell me what's going on! I'm worried but can't think of anything stressful that might have set the behavior off. She sleeps normallly on the floor when she takes a nap or up on the bed with me after spouse gets up so it's just middle of the night stuff happening...

Very belated thanks for the reply. Sorry it took me so long to acknowledge. We are seeing the vet again Monday and I plan to ask about bloodwork and he is supposed to do another recheck of the teeth and we are going to discuss scheduling dental procedure. The dog is pacing, panting and carpet...

This week our 4 year old was diagnosed with mild periodontal disease and we revisit the vet in about 3 weeks for a recheck of her teeth and discussion of when to do a dental cleaning, after we try cleaning with a solution of 1:1 hydrogen peroxide and water with gauze. Since then, I've noticed...

Thank you, I appreciate the replies.

This morning I noticed my dog's left eye was partially rolled, exposing half the white and half the brown. It happened two or three times now she looks normal again. Has anyone experienced a dogs eye rolling around in its socket? I want to take her in to the vet but her eye looks fine now and...

There was some product/supplement that was supposed to support dental health but I was so relieved her teeth weren't cracked that I never asked about it. Next time I go I'll see what the name of it is and post it here to see if anyone recognizes it or has tried it. Thanks for the reply.

Well it turns out that it was not a crack or damage but some heavy duty plaque that they scaled (?) off.

Thanks for sharing your experience, my own little girl has some spotting on her teeth that has me worried. Best wishes to you & Emma!

Last night I was thinking more about this and was wondering if there is ever a chance for repair of chipped or cracked tooth and nearby dark spots or if it usually ends up being an extraction? Our girl is about 16 pounds and loves to chew those Natures Variety beef sticks. Did you have to...

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the helpful information you shared. I'm nervous about it but hope its early enough to fix, somehow. It doesn't seem to bother her and I just happened to notice it when she was standing above me while we were playing and she had her mouth open. Thank you...

Has anyone experienced any bad dental issues with their dog and if so, how did you treat it? Our little girl is undersized and thus, has some teeth alignment issues. When she was spayed, the vet pulled one that was rubbing against another but now I noticed she seems to have an early buildup of...
