By your vet! A phone call is free! A lot of us 'answerers' do know what we're talking about, but your vet is close to you, should know you and your pet, and is a licensed practitioner! A lot of these questions are vague and broad, and animals, especially dogs and cats, can have similar symptoms for MANY diseases, life threatening or otherwise! Don't wait for a 'best answer' on here when there may be something seriously wrong with your baby!

Thanks! Some of these questions I read are heartbreaking when a simple call to the vet could be the difference (sometimes, not always) between life and death!

I realize that alot of people don't take these answers for fact, but I've worked with animals my whole life and have noticed some very bad symptoms. I guess not everyone has a vet like mine, who will tell me to bring him in and won't charge me full price for a checkup, if any cost, if there's nothing wrong (which the Checkup is only $18 anyways) If this were your child, you wouldn't say, "my baby hasn't pooped in 8 days, I don't know what's wrong, what should I do?" If you do, your sick...You would likely call your doctor, wouldn't you? My vet would listen to the symptoms, and tell me what to watch for or say, "we need to see her right away". It's always BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
