Dog Potty Stone

Please help my dog, MEDICAL NECESSITY?

My dog is sick. It started 3 weeks ago when he wouldn't pee - brought him into the vet and they removed a mucus plug, but the next weekend, he was back to the same issue. Again they removed a mucus plug and suggested an ultrasound. We scheduled one. The next weekend, he was doing better on acidic meds to break up what they thought were beginning kidney stones. He was doing okay so they canceled the ultrasound. Then, in the middle of the week, he had a complete turn around. Now he couldn't stop himself from peeing!!! And it was happening to the point where he'd piss and then just lay in his own pee because he was so lethargic. He started throwing up. We brought him back into the vet and they put him on anti-inflamatory's and new food (C/D diet) because we thought that was the problem. Now his potty problems seem to have disappeared - but he's still incredibly lethargic and is puking ALL the time. I am running out of money to bring him in. He's also got slimy stuff from his mouth.

Take him to a different vet. Obviously, the one you took him to hasn't figured out what's wrong with him and there's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion. You can have all of his tests, diagnostics and medical records transferred to the new vet so they can see what's been done thus far. If he's still vomiting, then he's dehydrated which can explain the slimy stuff (thick mucousy saliva) in his mouth. The best thing you can do for him is to keep him hydrated as much as you can and get him seen by another vet ASAP.

Also, if you need help with the vet bills, you can apply for what is called Care Credit which is financed through GE Money. You can use this line of credit for your own medical bills as well as your pet's medical bills as long as the vet accepts this form of payment. We applied for it when our son needed some expensive dental care and found out that we can also use it for our pets' medical expenses as well.

The Playful and Inquisitive Dog: Cairn Terrier

The Cairn is assumed as one of the subcategories of Scotland's terriers along with the Westies (West Highland White) and the Scottish, The Westies and the Cairns are highly related. For one, Westies are hybrids of white dogs crossed with Cairns of western Scotland. The Westie can be considered as the white variety of the Cairn who has a coat of any color but white. Scotties, however, have longer heads and bodies, have generally dark coats and are aloof than the other two. These dogs originated from the short-haired Skyes.

Cairn is the smallest breed among the terrier group. The name Cairn was coined after the small stone piles that marked borders of Scottish farms and graves. During the early times, this breed was used to guide small animals into these piles of stones. However, cairns are strong and sturdy but are not heavy.

This dog was already present during the 1500s even before it became popular in 1930, after the appearance of "Toto" in "The Wizard of Oz" as Dorothy's companion dog. Presently, like the American pit bull terriers, Cairns are used as companion dogs. Among the variety's talents are tracking, watching over the house, hunting, and performing tricks and sports regarding competitive obedience.

The following are some of the basic facts breeders would really love to know about Cairns:

Category: Terrier

Living Environment: indoors (highly recommended); outdoors (fenced yard)

Coat: shaggy and coarse outer coat and short and soft furry undercoat Colors: any color except white

Height: between 9.5 and 10 inches

Weight: between 13 and 14 pounds

Temperament: like most terriers that were bred as hunters, these dogs are mischievous, alert, restless and high-spirited; also have a special connection with children age six and above

Breeders should note of the following health issues:

• Atopy, a type of allergy

• Cataract, or loss of transparency of one or both lenses of the eyes

• Cryptorchidism, wherein testicles do not descend into the scrotum

• Glaucoma, a condition that causes an increase pressure within the eye

• Patellar luxation, a disorder in the kneecap Care and Exercise:

• Daily brushing is recommended to prevent tangles and mats.

• Hair around ears and eyes must be trimmed regularly.

• Do not over feed them as they gain weight easily.

• Their physique requires a regular exercise routine which includes a daily play time while on leash.

• They should be on leash while walking in public places because of their hunting instincts.

Origin/History:

As already noted, the Cairns were existent since around the 1500s. At around 1700s, the Isle of Skye and other highlands in Scotland were already producing lots of small terriers. Scottish breeds were separated into two: the Skye terriers and the Dandie Dinmont terriers.

The Dandie Dinmonts were categorized as a separate breed. The Skyes included the Scotties, the Westies, and the Cairns.

In the year 1912, the Cairns receive their official name based on their excellent ability to hunt down vermin such as otters, foxes, and badgers that were hiding in cairns. However, it was in the year 1913 when they received the official recognition from the American Kennel Club.

The Cairn terrier is one heck of an agile little dog that is very appropriate for the whole family. This breed is playful, prying, and is always ready to join the fun. If you are still not convinced, just reckon how Dorothy was entertained and accompanied by this type of dog.
