My poochie (pit bull) has been sick since last night. She started throwing up last night and has been eating a lot of grass, we have to drag her inside because all she wants to do is eat grass. And today she started throwing up mucousy blood or blood w/ grass. She hasn’t eaten anything but grass since yesturday afternoon and we keep a very close eye on her and havn’t seen her eat anything she shouldn’t. today she pooed once and it was dark almost black and grassy. she is 1 1/2 years old. She eats purina dog chow. she’s going to the vet tomorrow. but what could this be??

My dog had parvo when I adopted her from the local shelter. Within three days she was near death. She spent a week at the vet but came home 100% healthy. It’s been around two months since then. We moved right after that and are not living in the same house as we were when she was sick. She has been around many adult dogs and all are fine but I want to make sure it is ok to bring a puppy around her.

How important is dogs monthly visit to the vet?

I have never really taken my dogs to the vet before. But nothing has ever been wrong with them. How important is it that my dogs see a vet?

She is a 3 month old malta-poo… For some reason she LOVES to eat them. Near impossible for me to stop her either… I will be walking her and a frog will jump right by her she will snag it and chew it down as fast as possible… the whole thing happeneds in about 10 seconds… Sometimes she gets frogs that are already dead! and eats them…

I am not so worried about her health because I talked about it with the vet, she said while this is not her preferred diet, it wont kill her (because of the frog types that live in our area)

Any advice is welcomed on how to stop her.

I have tried spraying the frogs with bitter apple spray but I just cant get ‘em all

(Just kidding about that haha)

I Love Labrador Retrievers asked:


I have a black labrador puppy and she’s afraid of other dogs. I got her from the animal shelter about a few months ago. Everytime I take her to the vet and she sees the other dogs she runs on the chairs barking and hollering. If she sees another dog out while Im walking her barks and runs behind me for saftey. Tomorrow, Im adopting another dog from the shelter and I see this might be a problem for my puppy. How can I get her to not be afraid?
