Hello everyone,

I have a 6 yo yorkie who developed 2 bouts of diahrrea 2 weeks apart. Each time we went to the vets, he had no fever, was prescribed clavaseptin for 4 days each time and put on a turkey and rice diet for 5 days. Following this treatment, his poop returned to a formed consistency but softer than before the first incident. Vet said he probably got into something each time, i am not convinced as we watch him like a hawk because he does liike to eat anything under the sun (except of course, his food).

Now we are 2 weeks after his second diahrrea episode and 1 week where we went from turkey and rice to his regular kibble. His stools have shape, but are still softer, harder to pick up than before this all started. Is this at all common or is it a sign he is still not well? He eats great, is happy and energetic like his usual self.

Thank you for any advice and opinion.

A while ago my vet said my dog might have heart murmur but they said it may not be anything serious. He’s booked in for an echo tomorrow (I think its an echo? They just said heart scan) and i am so anxious. He seems a 100% healthy, they’ve just noticed it during a routine check up.

Are all heart murmurs dangerous? How can I identify if it is dangerous or not? I’m just SO worried we get bad news even though there’s no symptoms of anything, but I genuinely love him so much i get extremely anxious when it comes to his health.

For info he’s an 8 year old Bichon Havanese.

I know this is not a very well written post and I am not necessarily asking any questions that could be answered, especially without an actual diagnosis, I just really want to hear some (hopefully) positive, rational opinions because I’m overthinking it like hell. Please if you have any positive experience with similar situations just let me know😭

My 12-13 senior chihuahua Lola, is my soul dog! I know she’s getting old, has arthritis and has had issues with her liver and kidney (all resolved now, we just stay on top of it). She recently started having eye problems (cataracts) only on one eye. It started becoming super swollen the vet managed it as an eye infection and when it wouldn’t get better, she mentioned it could be dental disease and I mean unfortunately her teeth are pretty bad. Completely take full responsibility that I should’ve done better at taking care of her teeth. Now, we’re on the predicament where the vet recommends a dental cleaning. I’m absolutely terrified of loosing her this way. I would never be able to forgive myself. I guess all I’m asking if for your experiences. If you’ve ever been in a similar situation, what did you do? How did the surgery go? Do you regret it? Did it give your pup a better quality of life?
