My dog has megaesophugus and needs to eat smoothies. He takes medication that empties his stomach as it's being ingested so you can actually see his belly fill up. Over the last 6 weeks his belly fills up into the intestines with food then it reverses back up and he reguritates about half of the food. I thought it was just a reaction to food allergies but it's been a long time since we removed the food allergies. Should we get him an endoscopy?

Hi there, so sorry to hear that your little one is having these struggles. Unfortunately without a full understanding of your dog's clinical history, we wouldn't be able to advise on next steps. If it helps, your vet can get in touch with us ([email protected]) for advice directly or to make a referral. Sending well wishes to your dog x

Buy only animals that have undergone BOAS tests with 0 or grade I results, walk the dog several times a day (one of the walks should be an hour long) and do not overfeed the dog. These dogs need more muzzle and less protruding eyes. I love the pug but am careful about buying a health tested dog without breathing problems

My cat developed it half a year ago at the shelter, possibly from the stress. Getting a check up today. This video massively helped me understand what is going on and what might be the course of action if it has gotten worse. Thanks!

I genuinely don’t understand why people want these dogs so much!? I had a friend I grew up with, I was very close to her. She had two pugs. I basically grew up with those dogs. They were both very adorable and affectionate dogs but neither could ever fully be potty trained. They were to put it bluntly very dumb. I had a yorkie poo. Aka a yorkie poodle mix. She was much more intelligent and honestly much cuter than my friend’s dogs. And she didn’t have the breathing issues they obviously did with their flat faces. This was during the early 2000s and pugs were VERY popular. For awhile there I think they may have been the most popular dog breed. And I never understood why. I loved my friends pugs but after seeing what she went through with their bathroom problems and health issues I could never own one. I think it’s very unethical that people continue to buy and breed these dogs tbh

Heart scans are expensive £500 plus . After your pet gets one,it’s not going to make your pet better,it’s a lot of money for the same outcome...serious murmurs can be detected by stethoscope auscultation,by any competent vet..Remember,before the days of pet echocardiography,all murmurs were diagnosed by auscultation...it’s an expensive way of telling “yes,your pet has a murmur “,yet another rip off service from your vet !😡

Hi Kevin, the purpose of the echocardiogram is to determine the cause of the murmur and treatment options, not just to say "yes your pet has a murmur". Some heart conditions can be fully treated with the correct treatment plan, allowing pets to live a longer, healthier life that they may otherwise not have been able to. Please let us know if you need any further clarification. Have a lovely day, Team Ralph 🐾

@theralphvet

Hello, thank you for your comment/question, hope your little one is doing ok! Ideally your kitten would need an echocardiogram to determine the cause and significance of the murmur. We can't really say whether they might "outgrow this" unless we first exclude pathological causes. Hope that helps. Take care, Team Ralph 🐾

Hi there, thank you for raising the question for your doggo. Snoring at rest can be (but is not always) a clinical sign of BOAS. For peace of mind, we'd recommend that you ask your usual vet to assess your dog so that you have their professional opinion. Team Ralph 🐾

As someone who's gone through this with a senior cat, it's a lot more common in cats than the literature states (I see so many cat parents in cat health groups with cats showing all the signs of IVDD and/or arthritis talking about this), the issue is it's often not diagnosed properly due to cost of MRI and decompression surgery (x-rays are inconclusive), the common belief that it's rare in cats so is misdiagnosed, and because some professionals believe that it's better to euthanize or sell expensive pseudoscience "treatments" instead of referring to a neurologist. Even worse if they do chiro, pls DO NOT let your pet with possible IVDD have chiro done ! Any manipulation of the spine is the opposite of what's needed and can make it much worse (also chiro is not scientifically based medicine for any creature including us, but in this situation pls do not allow your pet to get it).

My 10 month old British Bulldog died after this surgery. The swelling did not go down and he developed Pneumonia. His condition was very bad though, vet said wothout the surgery he would not have made it past the summer. So we were only doing what we thought was best for our sweet boy. We miss him so so much. 😢

Hello My cat is going to have a surgery, full dental extraction She is a very very stressed cat Afraid of people I am concerned about the moment when they shave the paw and put the catheter Can you please tell me if it is a problem ? I guess my cat is not the only stressed cat in the world and that vets and nurses know how to behave with those cats Right ?
@theralphvet
@theralphvet 9 ай бұрын
Hi Mercy, thank you for reaching out. Cats are very sensitive animals, especially to changes in their environment and so it is very common that veterinary teams need to help and support stressed cats when they are visiting their local practice. We can do this in a manner of ways but we'd recommend contacting your practice to let them know how worried you are about your cat and how they will react when it's time to have the catheter placed. Your cat could potentially be prescribed an anti-anxiety medication prior to their procedure day and that can often help. We hope the dental treatment goes well and your cat feels better soon.

Not to worry, patients are treated on an individual basis. As long as their body temperature is normal during the recovery period, they won't have to be under any blankets if they don't want to.

Hello. I have an 11 year old shih tzu. Until this age, she had no obvious problems other than snoring. However, she has been making noises in her throat for 2-3 months. I know the surgery is difficult and painful. How much longer can she handle? Can we not do it after this age? Also what can we do when she is chocked up? Can you make a first aid video about it?
@theralphvet
@theralphvet Жыл бұрын
Hi there, It sounds like your Shih Tzu could benefit from seeing your vet at your daytime practice with a view to investigating the noises in her throat. If she does need BOAS or any procedure, they can answer any questions you may have. Good luck with your little lady. Best wishes Team Ralph

I’m so nervous that my dog may have this she’s 1.5 years old and going to get spayed soon but I would hate to have her go through this operation, it sounds terrible and sour , and then I have the trust issue that is it another vet made up operation for these dogs that have always sounded like this anyway for the money , ?!?! I guess I have to weigh it out , I’m so confused There is so many pros and cons advices on the internet and also about raw food or science diet another guess for me , again I’m just a concerned owner of my love of my life frenchie and trying to do the best thing for her

Hi, My dog just recently diagnosed with IVDD and it progressed so fast that all of his 4 legs become paralyzed. I live in Indonesia where theres no MRI yet for dog so its making the surgeon cant operate him yet. Since he cant walk or even lift his head up, he can’t control his bladder and poop, so theres also another problem with his organ. Its been overwhelming, I cry most of the time. Hoping theres another way until we can find a way to operate on him 🥲

My dog was diagnosed about 4 weeks ago and was caught early the vet put her on carprovet she was already taking fish oil supplements and glucosamine the vet told me to keep that Up. I decided to put her on CBD the vet liked that idea I noticed a difference in 4 days. 4 weeks Later she is playing ball jumping and chasing Squirrels. She is my miracle dog.
