Past/Present Clients I provide a mobile massage service to the southern suburbs of Melbourne. I sell my products around Australia and New Zealand. I have even had a few customers from USA.
I need some veterinary advise. I have a 2 year old female Pomeranian and from the past 2 days she's been throwing up a lot (not always food, sometimes it's just a transparent Liquid), she hasn't been eating well, she had a little diarrhea. She's very sensitive and she throws up time to time, but now she almost can't keep her food down.
What can I do to make her feel better?
In a different problem, I noticed that she has been gnawing her front left paw for about a week and a half now (She has few hair and the area's a bit pinkish). I think it might be a fungus. How do I treat it?
I hope you can answer me soon.
My dearest complements,
Joana
Answer Dear Joana
Just to clarify that I am not a Vet, so can not provide any diagnosis etc... If your animal has been off food for a while, is throwing up and has some diarrhea, then you really need to get her to a Vet as soon as you can. It is very hard to know without a thorough vet examination what could be wrong. It could be that she has caught some tummy bug, or it could be more serious. The dangers of vomiting and diarrhea are that unless treated by a vet, can lead to your pet dehydrating, while in turn can lead to coma and death.
Biting at her paw constantly can be a sign of stress, or in fact a sign that she does not feel well.
My suggestion therefore is that you do go to a vet ASAP and take it from there. Once you have a diagnosis it is easy to make a natural treatment plan that works in with what the vet has suggested.
Many thanks,
Silva.
