@dr.mikewalker: Let’s talk about signs I wish pet parents WOULDN’T ignore. 🚩 One common example in older dogs is when they seem extremely lethargic, but then suddenly bounce back. This can be a symptom of many different issues... some benign, some more serious...so it’s worth talking to your veterinarian. #seniordog #doghealth #vetmed #veterinarian #petcaretips
$15,000 for a four day stay at the emergency vet only to have my love die five days later, after I was told he was good. You know what I wish, I wish that vets didn’t rip us off. Make it affordable so we can save the pets that we love without going into debt!

Vets are incredibly expensive. Until this changes we are stuck. I’ve gone to so many different vets who all they care about is ripping us off.

Chiweenie 11 years old. She sleeps most of the day but very active when we walk in the evening. Just seems to be slowing down for sure.

I’ve became a paranoid mess since my 12 year old pit had her spleen removed 2 months ago. A slight change in her breathing literally sends me into a spiral. We’ve taken her to the vet multiple times and all tests come back negative,but I can’t help but worry. ☹️

Terrier mix, 12 years old. Just noticed what feels like a lipoma behind the right shoulder. It feels squishy, moves with the skin , maybe an inch in diameter. I’ve already made a vet appointment. Thoughts?

my 14y/o morkie's appetite seemed to be increasing, because my last yorkie had Cushings, that's what my mind immediately jumped to so I took him to get checked out--bloodwork results ruled out Cushings, but led to an abdominal ultrasound which found "sludge" in his gallbladder so we got him started on Ursodiol and Denamarin 💜
my other morkie has hepatic microvascular dysplasia, I was fortunate to catch this when she was a young puppy bc she occasionally vomited after meals, as I understand it, congenital liver defects such as this a relatively common to yorkies and malties? I've been able to successfully manage her condition with Royal Canin GI Low Fat prescription diet, she'll turn 14 in November 💕

I mean, if you're gonna charge $600 to see my dog and tell me nothing is wrong. I'm probably not gonna bring them in again.

The costs is what I think keep people from coming in. It’s not that they don’t care, they just can’t afford it.

Why don’t you be more specific about what symptoms we should look for? This video seems like it was made to freak people out so they run to the vet. So the vet gets richer, and when our dog really becomes ill, we don’t have the money to pay for their care.

Bogart (Taylor’s Version) :
Don’t make me panic, I’ve had enough vet appointments this year 😭 my dog did this last week. He was off for a couple days, even my acupuncturist thought that. Then this week, fine! He had an abdominal ultrasound less than a month ago and he was fine. I’m hoping it was just his Adequan wearing off (administered this Monday).

I took my oldest for her senior blood work and my Vet recommended a internal specialist.(slightly anemic)Went there,more blood work. They recommended a liver supplement and vitamin E. Wanted some follow-up blood work a while later, I did so. results came back the 24th and zero response from the Specialist& what the next step is. This is all of a spand of several months.Gigi is currently 17 years old.🤔

Boxer! He’s eight years old, he’s been a frequent flyer at the vet his whole life. Allergies, arthritis, prostatitis, pancreatitis the list just goes on. He’s currently panting, but he only pants through the night. I’m not quite sure if this is something that we need to visit. The doctor has been another $1000 just to get some blood work and some x-rays or if this is something that doesn’t need help.
