Q. My 3 year old 80lb Golden ate a baby sock yesterday. He is eating and going to the bathroom and acting normal. Should I be worried?

Q. Hi,I have a nearly 6 month old papillon. He’s up to date on all his shots and his last appointment was at the beginning of this month. He has allergies so he’ll be a little itchy and sneezy at times, but still very playful and active. I recently changed his food from purina exclusive kibble to evo turkey and chicken canned formula. His activity level hasn’t really changed that much since the switch. But I noticed he’s been coughing and sniffling and he’s spit up a liitle bit of clear liquid and yellowish clear liquid that looks a little foamy in parts. It hasn’t been a full week yet since his food has been switched. I don’t know if that is causing a problem or if it’s normal or if it’s allergy related. I wanted to see if it was something serious since I’m not scheduled to take him back to the vet for another 2 weeks since he’s got a neutering appt then. Thanks.

Hello, Your cat is definitely trying to tell you something. He is probably going outside of the box due to discomfort or urgency. It is possible the soft stool will resolve with a different diet (if this is the first … Continue reading
