Just because I get the question a lot, I adopted him from a Hawaiian woman who named him “Hanu” which means “breathe” so I nicknamed him Nu or NuNu. ☺️

The first Halloween my boy has had a costume 😭❤️

My girl has these spots on the upper left side of her gums. I’m fairly certain they’re from the friction of her bottom tooth hitting there. But recently that area has begun to bother her and she keeps pawing at it. I was wondering if it could be something else? I’m more than happy to take her to the vet about it and will absolutely be doing so. I just want to figure out if it warrants an emergency vet visit or if I could wait for an appointment with her regular vet?

She’s a Terrier mix, roughly 2.5 years old, spayed. We’ve had her for almost 7 months now.

Every time I share a photo of him they somehow find a way to make his life look better than I do.

thought it would be fun to guess what she is before it gets here. should be about 2-3 weeks! the rescue did say her mom was GSD, so there is definitely that!
ETA: the black and white dog is my first rescue, he is a border collie mutt, and i love him dearly, i’m so excited for him to finally have a sister 🤍

Our little Aussie, Apollo, is supposed to turn 8 this Wednesday. My wife convinced me to get a dog with her when I was early my medical training we were still dating. It was the worst time in my life to get a dog, but it has been the best decision ever. We’re now happily married with three boys under three and this wonderful pup. He has been a rock in my life and I can honestly say that he is my best friend. We have an incredible bond that I’m sure many of you can relate to. I am definitely his “person” and like I said, he is my best friend.

He’s always been healthy and active and happy. Even as late as last weekend, he was his ball obsessed, usual playful self with not a care in the world. This past Tuesday morning, he was a little slow and lethargic in the morning and noon but perked up in the evening. Repeat this Wednesday. Thursday morning, the same, and I had a short day so I brought him to the vet. They thought it was musculoskeletal, but got lab work just in case. Friday morning the lab work came back as significantly anemic and thrombocytopenia, so we got imaging and ultrasound showed a possible liver tumor and fluid in his abdomen, which they tapped and came back as frank blood. We brought him emergently to a local veterinary hospital, where a CT showed metastatic cancer throughout his liver, spleen, muscle, and a nodule in his lungs. Inoperable, and even with surgery median prognosis was four weeks. The hospital vet told us he may not make it till Sunday for comfort measures.

He was sent home with prednisone and tranexamic acid to help with the bleeding. Of course today, he is as happy can be back with good color and no signs of anemia. He is back to acting his completely normal self, but we scheduled to have him put down tomorrow and I keep rethinking this decision. I feel like I know it’s the right decision, but he’s so happy and jovial right now. But I also would never be able to forgive myself if he started bleeding again and passed away alone this week without his loved ones there to support him.

I‘m just having a really tough time coping with this sudden our life that feels like it nowhere, being taken so young, and just losing what has become my best friend. I guess I’m looking to just get this off my chest, but also advice for how to cope if anyone’s got it. apologies if there are errors in this, I used talk to text a lot. pic attached is my dude

Got this sweet boy so my current ESA Wanda can retire. Even at 4 months old he is so smart. I can't wait to get his DNA tested and let him pick out more toys!

I'm not sure where else to post this. I live remote, vets are closed till Tuesday and there's no emerg in the area. My dog has randomly got a large bald spot missing from his tail. At first I thought maybe our other dog bit him but it is solidly bald. It doesn't seem to hurt him, I havent noticed him being overly itchy or biting his tail. He's a corgi. Any insight? I'm so worried. There is a scabby spot where hair is still growing through it. He didn't appear to have this spot yesterday.

After a tough week fighting an infection, we lost our best buddy today — Pixel. He's been with me and my partner for more than 6 years.

He was about 12 years old, although he could have been older, as he was found after being thrown out of a car. We then adopted him from the charity foundation that had rescued him.

We would love to see some other pups to help us deal with the loss ❤️

My dog had an emergency surgery 10 days ago for pyometra. She is eating, energy is good but I noticed that the incision site seems to get bigger. Should I be worried about this?

I just don’t have the funds to take her to the vet right now. I’ve exhausted my utilities for her surgery. Anyone experienced this with their dogs who got spayed? Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Bailey and Juniper besties forever ❤️

Hi! Wondering if anyone can tell me how old this dog is? Ive been trying to figure it out but cant quite tell...she doesnt have THE most energy but she still enjoys walks. She usually gets pretty tired after a 30 minute walk and is ready to take a nap. She comes from an unknown background so she might not have had the best teeth care. Also wondering what type of mixed breed she might be? Our strongest guess is a long haired chihuahua mix with jack Russell. But your guess is as good as ours!

Thank you so much in advance!

Its my little Luna-Beans 1st birthday!! Share your puppy birthday pics 🫶🏻

Greetings from Argentina, and you?

When she was a puppy, she used to climb onto my desk all the time, sometimes sneaking right under my hands and falling asleep as if she had stepped into a "creative triangle" while I was sketching and working on concepts.

Even now, she occasionally tries to do the same thing. But she’s not a puppy anymore and completely takes up all the space. When that happens, she completely puts my work on hold, of course, but I just take a break and pet her, remembering those exact moments from her puppyhood.
