He has a doctor’s appt. tomorrow. This is the third day he has had loose stools. It’s not often, maybe 2 to 3 times a day, but enough to concern me.
I’ve been pushing fluids, water no juice. But know his poor rear is so sore from wiping him. Been using rash cream but only gives him little relief.
Is there any over the counter medicine I can get him or a home remedy you know of to help baby diarrhea?

I have not changed her dog food and she does not appear to be acting any different than usual. I have tried giving her white rice and over the counter diarrhea medicine that i received from the pet store. The medication has not worked and she wont eat the rice. There is no blood in her stool. What are some things i can do to clear up the diarrhea and what could be causing it?

My cat has loose stool – my vet told me i could use an over the counter medicine for people with Loperminde (spelling, sorry). The problem is, my cat is diabetic – doesnt that medicine have sugar in it??
Well, seeing as though its Sunday, I can only call the Vets emergency line – He is on Diabetic food, so I wont change that today – Do you think he will it be ok if I wait till Monday to call the vet?
And, the vet knows all the history – shes been with us from the begining. . .

I have Ulcerative Colitis, I have had bloody stool for a week. I have joint pain, back pain, it’s hard to walk and everyday the back of my head hurts. I want to know what I could do to make my situation less painful. I have anemia and I am fatigued daily. I haven’t been able to walk normally in a week. I limp. When I go to the bathroom it hurts so much, is there an over the counter medicine I could pick up? As for the joint pain and head pain any suggestions?

I went to see a gastreologist doctor because of constipation and hard stools, and he gave me Laculose syrup to take twice a day, and also told me to get metamucil fiber laxative to take over the counter everyday. And I’ve also been eating as much fiber as I can. I’ve been doing this ever since tuesday. It is not saturday and I am still constipated and my stools are extremely hard. I’m only going once every other day, and it’s only because I finally force myself to when I feel as though I could go if I tried, the majority of the time I feel like I don’t have to go at all, but when I finally do feel like I could go my stools are really hard and I have to strain to go. How can this be? Why is everything I’m doing not working??
Also, it’s been getting WORSE than when I first started taking the medicine. I felt like it was making everything a little better in the beginning and now it’s getting worse
* I already do not eat cheese and diary

* I don’t want to take another laxative when I’m already taking to.

* The G.I. doctor is out of town all next week, and I won’t be able to get a hold of my physician until monday.

Do you guys think it’s possible that I’m constipated from too much fiber now?

I have four Parrot blood fish. And I just recently got an algae eater because someone told me that the rustic brown spots are a form of algae? Is this true? And is there some way I can get rid of the spots or will I need to get another algae eater? Also I heard that most often apple snails are used? Will this work? I have so many questions, sorry. I have a 30 gallon tank with just the four cichlids b/c thay are aggressive, but really pretty. How do I know if they are sick? One of them looks like they have a scratch from running into a rock on its nose, and another a funny black spot that it had when we got him, then lost it and now its back? I keep the water levels perfectly in line. I just wonder if there is some sort of medicine for this black spot disease if that is even what it is? I am so confused and I love them and don’t want them to die… HELP!!! it would be greatly appreciated.

scratching off a lotto ticket. Mostly because of my pain medicine. It doesn’t bother me, it feels quite pleasant in fact. However I started noticing something really weird that I’ve never done before. I don’t know if this is just dreaming. Because I’ll fall asleep, and I may dream/visitualize talking to someone, and sometimes I wake up giving my response to a question they asked, like mmhmm or nodding my head or shaking my head no. Sometimes I verbalize an an answer, other time’s just make the physical motion, sometimes both. It feels very strange. It takes me only a second to figure out that I had just fallen a sleep, and that there isn’t anyone there that had been talking to me.
Still I don’t understand why this is occuring. It never use to happen before. If I’m not mistaken REM sleep, when you dream happens after having been a sleep for a while. If I’m only asleep for a short time, is it a dream, is it a hallucination, is it similar to hearing voices? I don’t in any way believe them to be real, I don’t get worried, or paranoid about things. In fact, I usually forget the question I was answering just as soon as I had woke myself up from answering it.
Can anyone relate to what I’m talking about? Any theories on why it happens? I mean I do work the night shift, so I’m awake during those regular hours that other people are awake. Funny thing, I just fell asleep with my hand on the space bar. Had a very brief dream about a TSA agent. I’ve never flown, and never even been in an airport. CAn’t remember the context ofthe conversation, but its weird how realalistic it is. And even as I type now, I start to close my eyes and fall into these short moments of sleep. Please can anyone give me some insight on whats goin on?

I don’t know what to do. I live with my mom, and my parents got divorced about 2 years ago. She has a really good job and I basically get whatever I want. I know I’m kind of spoiled, but my mom says I deserve it. So I have a good life here. But, my mom is drunk every night. She started going to AA meetings for a few weeks but then me and my bro found out she was really just going to the bar that whole time, and when we accused her of drinking, she said she was just tired, not drunk. (Thats the main reason I want to leave) Honestly, she’s only slobber in the morning before work, and right after work until she starts drinking. When she starts drinking, she starts acting like a total b****. But, if I move in with my dad, I’d miss my sister and friends and my dog. My bros moving in with his dad(we have different dads), so I wouldnt see him anyway. My dad doesn’t have a job, but he’s living with my grandma and he’s pretty stable. He rarely drinks(the last time he drank was at bachelor party, 2 months ago.) He’s trying to get a job, too. I haven’t seem him for 2 years. My dad’s bipolar and he acts… well, weird if he doesnt take medication(lol i have a messed up family) but, he takes his medicine every day and hes happy. my moms always stressed and drowns herself in alcohol, but my dad still isnt all perfect. hes living with my grandma, and shes kind of mean. i wouldnt want to live with her. my mom drinks soo much, and i cry myself to sleep most of the time. I honestly want to live with my dad, but is that just because I havent seen him for 2 years and miss him, and if i move in with him will i regret it and move back? my mom said once i move there, im not coming back except for visits. what should i do? move in with my dad, or stay with my mom?

and another thing, if i move in with my dad, ill lose a lot of things. ill have to get all new furniture because im going over train and ill only bring things thatll fit in suitcases. oh, and my mom is soooooo nice and sweet and loving when shes not drinking, and whens shes like that(which is rare) i forget all about me hating her and smile and say im sorry for everything, and then she goes right back to drinking. i love both of them what do i do?
I barely get to see my dog anyway. And my grandmas not mean, she just gets mad easily.

I took in a stray cat that had tapeworms. I took it to the vet to have it checked out, and she said it was generally healthy. The only known problem was the tapeworms that I’d noticed in its stool. She advised that I get an OTC tapeworm medicine instead of paying her high prices.

I gave the cat a tablet a week ago. I think it must still be infested because the cat is literally hungry ALL the time. As in, if I even go in the kitchen, it will run in there, meowing like crazy, making me trip, because it wants me to feed it AGAIN. It’s just not normal for a cat to eat this much.

I want to give the cat another tablet, but when should I? Should I wait a week or can I go ahead and do it today? Thanks.
I’d already checked the package, it said nothing about retesting. Yes, I treated it for fleas already. I’ve never seen a flea on it but I knew that if it had tapeworms, it has to have had fleas.
I forgot to mention that the vet didn’t think the had the other kinds of worms, but he was already treated for them anyway. She gave him that shot for free as a promotional offer.

ISo my dog is throwing up today, he was making these weird snorting noises then throwing up (tho I think sometimes he threw up in his mouth and ate it) and has also been pooping alittle but it’s not firm in the least, gooey even.
I don’t really know what to make of it. I can think of several problems but I can’t narrow it down.

My mom feeds them junk sometimes late at night like a small piece of fried chicken but I don’t know if it’s that because they’re both (I have 2, brother and sister, but the sister generally never throws up tho she does get loose liquidy stool sometimes) not over weight and other dogs seem fine.
I’ve told her to stop but she get’s annoyed and yells at me because I’m the child and she’s the mother (keep in mind I’m a minor)

They rarely drink water, I don’t know what it is, sometimes I let them inside from a potty break and wait in the kitchen to see if they drink water but after 10 minutes I give up and just go upstairs.

They don’t really eat their dog food either, I had them on some dry food with some rice and meat when I got them a year ago but they started pushing the food around with their nose and just eating the meat. So now it’s just dry and they only touch it when they’re starving I suppose and eat a bit.

So I do things sometimes like rub their belly in a motion to try and get things to go down that end well but I don’t think it does anything.
I’m concerned because I noticed his vomitting is really common, too common and I think maybe his stomach is weak.
I have medicine for vomitting from the vet from a funk my dog had a while back that I plan to give (but I have to wait till tomorrow and not give him food) but is there something else I should do? I really don’t know what’s wrong and I really worry about him.

Oh and any nice home made recipes or solutions from experience would be appreciated, I like to hear everyones advice.
Ah if my mom is the case then I’m really screwed. I got her to stop giving them food once before but then she started doing it late at night while I was sleeping -____-
She really LOVES giving them this food so she’s not only angry that me, her youngest child is trying to tell her what to do, but I’m taking her joy away too.

I ask this because My dog has a tape worm that is coming out in pieces in her stool and from her butt hole.

We found worms tonight on her butt, in her mouth, on the kitchen floor, on her dog pillow, on our couches and on our blankets. (We are currently cleaning the heck out of the house with bleach etc.)

We are further concerned because even though I live at my Mom’s house currently and I am NOT touching the dog, I am 9 months pregnant.

1.) Will the tape worm come out quickly?
2.) Will it continue to come out in HUGE pieces after she gets the medicine?
3.) Should I go live with my sister for the time being because I am 9 months pregnant?

Thank you in advance

*It’s totally yucky, Don’t allow your dog to eat dead rabbit carcasses*

Help… does anyone elses child love to take medicine. Mine begs me for it. Yesterday I caught her in the kitchen with a couple rolaids in her hand and I ran to snatch them and she threw them in her mouth and chewed them up. Its so not like her, she used to give any meds right back to me. Dont get me wrong… they are all put away. She got a stool and now they are even higher! HELP.

Today he threw a complete fit and I walked in in the middle. He’s broken doors, walls, furniture, etc when he gets mad. It’s really scary because he’s 18 and he’s been working out since jr high so he’s really strong.
So I guess he and my mom were in a fight and I called her in the middle to give me ride home from school (I don’t have a car, and right now I don’t really want to walk) and on the way he called and my mom was driving so I answered her phone for her. He blew up at me and hung up. He called about 6 times and kept hanging up, then the phone died. We had to get gas for the car then we came home. He was laying on the kitchen floor, furniture everywhere kicking the washer. Then he just started blaming me for everything and saying things like I’m the stupid b**** who causes the problem because I wouldn’t put my mom on the phone (but he was the one hanging up, and my mom even tried calling him but he wouldn’t answer). My mom started crying and went in the other room and he just attacked me. He pushed me into the fridge and was twisting my arms until my mom said she was going to call the cops. Then he left for a wile.
This is just one story, but he’s like a lot and he almost always blames me for everything, and even when he’s being…nice? he calls me stupid b**** and stuff like that. He’s really only nice to me when he wants something, like to use my computer or things like that, and if i say no he gets mad at me. I think that’s the way he really feels, his being nice is just an act.
My other brother who’s in college takes medicine for being bipolar. Do you think my other brother is too? Even if he is, and he starts taking medication too, I still think he hates me, but I don’t know why. Even when he’s happy he’s still rude to me only instead of swearing and yelling at me, he and his friends are making fun of me (and not just joking around and having fun).
I don’t know, I just get annoyed being in fights with him all the time, and he never apologizes or anything ever, he always just blames me, even when (like in the story) I have no idea what’s going on.
