Hi everyone.

Our dearest dog, Sam is a mixed breed lab (crossed with some type of sheep dog) - 9 years of age - he's very large and weighed 55kg before his splenectomy, now weighs 43kg.

Recently we found out he had a spleen tumour, and he had a splenoctomy last week Tuesday where a 10kg mass was removed (yes I know, so heavy, can't imagine how uncomfortable he was).

We unfortunately then found out that the cancer has already spread, and there's many other tumours. We're absolutely devastated but wanted to just give him a few last good weeks.

Issue is, his post-op bleeding / drainage isn't going very well. It's day 6 and it's still seeping a lot of fluids (watery bloody mixture) - he was discharged 2 days ago and we're now doing the bandage changes at home, around 3-4 times per day.

Vet is saying it's abnormal and bleeding only should have taken place on day 1 post-op, and that this shouldn't be happening anymore. He's saying it can be due to the cancer making his blood thin (not stalling) or the other cancer tumours has started bleeding internally.

Has anyone else ever experienced this with their dog post splenoctomy? Anyone with older big dogs that has had drainage like this for longer and then it ended up getting better eventually? Any veterinary professionals on here that has seen such a case before where bleeding didn’t stop immediately but it could be recovered eventually?

The vet is eventually recommending euthanasia if drainage doesn't improve and thinks the surgery was not a success in giving him a few extra weeks / months - but our Sammy is still so happy - walking around, eating, tail wagging, excited to be with us. I just can't make this decision knowing there's still a chance. The drainage is really bad but other than that he's still so happy with us.

Any advice please.

Thank you in advance

I'm mourning the loss of my bengal cat of 5 years... we had just started him on Prozac ( fluoxetine) for urinating outside of the litter box. His breathing was seeming labored a month after starting it so we spoke to our vet and kept an eye on him not sure if it was related to the Prozac. He also had the feline herpe virus so we thought he was in a flare up. By month three we brought him into the vet where they suggested testing. But it was too late he passed away while recieving ultrasounds and on oxygen.

The vet suspected underlaying health issues such as HCM or cancer... but I can't help but feel like it was the Prozac since he was perfectly health before hand other than the peeing.

Hi!

I came home and found that my babies (7month olds) opened a cabinet for the first time and found an unopened bag op popcorn kernels. They bit through the plastic and popcorn all over the floor… I think they didn’t eat any plastic but it looks like they may have eaten some of the unpopped corn.

Both are happily playing right now but I think they ate it recently do I need to stop by a vet or will this pass through their system?

My 6 month old puppy has suspected hemophilia that was discovered during her spay procedure today. The mentioned that they noticed she was not clotting the way she should and administered vitamin K.

My vet has been fairly nonchalant about it. The information was limited and they mentioned it is just something I will need to mention in the future during emergencies. Bruising and bleeding will be a thing to watch for and the suggestion was I stock vitamin K for accidents.

I have been with this vet for 15 years, one dogs full lifetime and some foster dogs in which they were a great provider and I trust their clinical judgement, but am curious if there is any other information I should be aware of with hemophilia as so little was shared.

Should the dog park be avoided?

I assume it is something that needs to be mentioned to groomers. Any other scenarios?

What about running with the dog in about a year when she is fully developed? Is this a risk or issue given possible bleeding in the joints (something I read can happen when trying to find out more).

What else should I know to ensure my puppy can live a long and happy life?

My cat is out of the house most of the time. He goes and plays around but i suspect he ate something from a trash can. First he vomitted a lot of food and hair that was like a chunk. Then he refused to eat and is still vomitting a yellow liquid. He can barley walk on his own. I tried giving him a little water but even that made him puke. Please help me i cannot afford to take him to the vet.

I took my cat in for bloodwork last week. Got her results in today. The vet said her magnesium levels were slightly high, and her creatinine/BUN ratio was off but the individual measures were within range.

Cat history: Almost two year old mixed breed. Has been inside almost her entire life except when she was a feral kitten for 3 months. She’s on science hill indoor feed/low calorie feed. No treats or human food. Her most significant history was last January I took her to an emergency vet to find out she was just constipated.

What could cause this? And is my cat going to die? She acts fine. I feel sick.

I just found some dry spots on my cat's ear, it looked like a scab that looks the same color as the skin with hair coming out of it, when I touched it, it fell off. My cat had ear mites before and was treated for it, he also had ringworm and completed his treatment too.

Adopted Trixie 1 week ago. She's 3 months old right now. Until yesterday, she was way too energetic and playful. But since 2 days, she's slightly lethargic. Sleeps more than before. Meows a whole lot even while in my lap, being fed good. Her neck does feel hot but idk.

She's eating quite fine, uses her litter box, grooms herself and even plays whenever she's up. But just not that active like before. Is she actually sick? I got her vaccinated too day before yesterday, the vet said it's because of that but I'm not sure since we just talked on call without him checking her in person? Is it just in my mind?

Doesn't cause the cat pain, it feels soft to the touch. Present on both sides.

Thanks

my dog licked/scratched his paw so much with his mouth that it gave him a bald spot. his skin underneath looks irritated, but i can’t tell if it’s just irritation from the licks or if something bit him.

here’s a link to the image: https://imgur.com/a/hXX8ye4

is this cause for concern, or will it go away on its own if i prevent him from repeatedly licking the area?

My young boy experiences pain after a good play. He’s diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and started with his medication. I’m curious to know what else can I do to help him. Should I get an orthopaedic bed for him as well? Please advise

Yesterday my cat ran away and was missing all day, and today he showed up, but he's acting very strange. My mom and I believe he may be poisoned. We found signs of vomit around the house that we think are his, and last night my parents heard a cat screaming in agony twice but couldn’t figure out where the noise was coming from.

Now that my cat has returned, he refuses to eat, drink water, and is resting inside his favorite box. We think it might be poisoning because a neighbor recently used poison to kill weeds on their property, and my cat likely ate some. This isn’t the first time he’s done this, but this time my father refuses to take him to the vet, and we live in a rural area far from the city (The vets are only in the city center).

Does anyone know what I should do?

My 13 year old male Bichon mix started limping, his leg was folding and he collapsed a few times. He was acting pretty normal though, it went away in a few hours but now I realize he’s been slipping the last few days. When he’s standing he will almost slip and then sit or lean to one side. He is very active, jumps very high too. Is this muscular or nerve related? I have a clear video that shows this for reference.

Recommendations needed

My boyfriend and I have 3 cats, recently our oldest cat has been having urinary issues & will need to be on expensive medicated urinary diet. Right now we have an automatic feeder that they’ve all been sharing. We love the convenience of the feeder, our cats all self regulate their food intake & are not over weight so we like “free feeding”. Obviously we need to adapt to our kitties dietary needs, but we would love to keep the convenience of an automatic feeder. We not only like it for the convenience of not having to fill a food dish everyday, but I also feel like it puts less strain or stress on our relationship when we don’t have to bicker about who has to feed the cats & when. I also think at this point if we were to put a bowl of dry food in front of them they wouldn’t know that they need to eat it at that moment bc we need to make sure they only eat their respective food. Like I said, we have 3 cats & would greatly appreciate any recommendations that would align w/ what we’re looking for.

We think my cat is pregnant but she is a bit small. She’s 3 years old but only grew to be about 10 lbs. With her body is it dangerous to be pregnant?

Hi all!

I am looking for a "second opinion" (really, a first opinion) about what to do with my cat.

He is a 7-year old tabby cat. Male, neutered. 9 lbs. Has had continuous issues with his teeth, with upwards of 10 being extracted so far (each time I take him to the vet, more teeth seem to come out). The vet has told me it's something like Stomatits but I'm not sure if that's exactly it. But it's not something we can fix with more brushing or different food, apparently.

Anyways, earlier this year we took him in for his tooth cleaning and the vet had to extract both of his front canines.

It's been about three weeks since the extraction and the cat is having difficulty closing his mouth fully.

I took him back to the vet who mentioned that because the canines push the upper lip outwards, that sometimes extracting the canines can cause the lower teeth to "sit" on the outside of the mouth. She said we could have the bottom two canines extracted to fix the issue if we wanted to but recommended we wait a full month to see if he adjusts.

The cat is capable of closing his mouth. I'd estimate around 40-50% of the time, he has his mouth closed / acting like normal. But the other 50-60% of the time his mouth is open, lower teeth on the outside of his mouth, and/or has his tongue out. He'll paw at his mouth trying to "fix" the issue. He can eat/groom like normal, but will often go back to mouth open/tongue out after.

I'm extremely torn about what the "right" thing to do is. Surgery is a biggie - and our kitty has already been through so much surgery. The lower canines are really big and taking them away is effectively taking away his only form of mouth defense from his rowdy younger brother, too. He seems to be able to close his mouth sometimes and does not seem to be in pain. It would also be nice to not pay another ~$1000 to have yet another extraction.

However, it's heartbreaking seeing him walking around with his mouth open, tongue out, and often pawing at his face. It's hard to believe that doesn't bother him, and I feel like a terrible cat parent just letting that go untreated.

Has anyone faced this before? I'd love any thoughts or recommendations - maybe from vets who have experienced this in the past. My vet said this was her first time seeing this, so her "wait a month" was just a guess. It makes me think maybe I need some more outside perspectives?

Thank you so much!

My 4 year old female cat started last week being really careful walking and not jumping around. We realized that she was climbing to the sofa putting first her front paws.

The morning of thrusday she was ok, she was jumping on the counter while we were getting her food ready but in the afternoon she started being really careful.

On Saturday I took her to the vet, her blood work was good and they had a X-ray and found she has some mild arthritis in both hips, the vet said she thinks it shouldn’t be that because is really starting and shouldn’t hurt her that much. She suspect that it could be soft tissue problem so send her Gabapentin 3 times a day and Onsior once a day for 3 days.

That afternoon after the vet she was energetic, eating, walking normal, not running or climbing but her normal self. Sunday the same until the afternoon she laid down and look really sad and in pain again, we have her the medicine in the night and she was acting better, ate and used the litter.

This morning (Monday) she was laying down inside her backpack carrier that she loves, she wasn’t really reactive when I told her to come to have breakfast, she always love breakfast time. I hold her and she starting meowing so I suspected she was in pain, I put her in the sofa and brought her food she didn’t want to eat at all, we tried different foods, turkey, everything that she loves and nothing, my husband try to moved her and she starting growling and hissing so we realized she was in pain, gave her the medicine so she laid down but still hasn’t eat.

I called the vet and she said that it shouldn’t get worst, that she really believe that the hip arthritis is not the problem and to give her a week unless she stops eating at all, that the soft tissue can hurt a lot, but we are really worry now because she complains every time we move her and it wasn’t like that before.

Any advice or any experience in soft tissue injury? Also could be her arthritis to this point where she’s refusing to eat?

Here is the Radiology findings:

Findings: Three radiographs dated February 1, 2025 are received; these include opposite lateral and VD images of the caudal abdomen/pelvis. No previous images are available for comparison.

No abnormalities of the included lumbar spine are seen. There appears to be borderline acetabular coverage of the femoral heads. Minimal osseous remodeling is seen in the coxofemoral joints. No abnormalities of the stifles are seen.

No abnormalities are seen in the included abdomen.

Assessment: Borderline to mild bilateral coxofemoral degenerative joint disease. No abnormalities of the lumbar spine or stifles are seen. A soft tissue injury is not excluded because of clinical signs. Correlate with clinical and orthopedic exam findings. Conservative management of lameness is recommended. If lameness persists, delayed recheck orthogonal images are recommended in ~3-4 weeks to evaluate for osseous change.

Hey everyone, this morning I noticed a small lump on my 11-year-old Miniature Pinscher’s back. At first, I thought it was a tick, but it’s actually something on her skin. I know a vet visit might be necessary, but I wanted to see if anyone here has experienced something similar with their dog. Any insights would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hey guys, I would really like some input on my situation. My kitty Travis (he’s like 4 so not really a kitty anymore lol) started straining about 2 weeks ago, so we rushed him to the vet. They put the catheter in him, he stayed there for a bit, and the vet sent him home about 4 days later because he seemed okay. Well later that night, he seemed to be straining again, so I rushed him back around midnight. They watched him for a day or so, and this morning called me and told me that he needed the catheter again. They really didn’t want to put it in him again because it’s been in and out so many times and they didn’t want to hurt him, but he blocked and unfortunately that was in his best interest. It’s been almost 2 weeks and this is the second catheterization. I’m really worried about him because I know how fatal urinary tract diseases can be with cats. Anyone else have any similar stories? Is there recovery in his future or are chances high that he will block again for the 3rd time?

* Species: Dog
* Age: 14
* Sex/Neuter status: Female, spayed
* Breed: Havanese
* Body weight: 12 lbs
* History: stage 3 sarcomas removed from groin and back
* Clinical signs: covered in large warts that are irritating to her, urinating in the house, eating less, no longer treat motivated
* Duration: 2 months
* Your general location: USA

We received a stage 3 sarcoma diagnosis last month and were told we would have to go elsewhere for treatment after a chest x ray, which came back clear with no further indication of spread. Doctor didn't recommend further treatment. However, she keeps getting these incredibly firm warts all over her body that clearly irritate her because she chews at them constantly. Her fur is matted all over the place. As her hair is growing I'm realizing they're covering her body so much I'm scared to take her to a groomer because there's no chance she leaves without getting knicked. She's recently irritated one wart under her eyelid so bad that the fur is now completely matted around her eye and I've tried to keep it clean but at this point can't tell if it's still attached or not.

Our vet cannot get her in until a week from now, we're on a cancellation list. She is letting us touch the affected areas with minimal discomfort so I haven't gone to the ER yet but I'm not opposed. However, I feel like we got this diagnosis and after having a relatively healthy dog for a long time, I'm suddenly overwhelmed with symptoms and I'm trying to make sure I do right by her.

My questions:

-if these are truly just "old dog warts", can I safely take her to the groomer if they continue to pop up as frequently as they are?

-since the diagnosis, we've noticed a significant slowdown and less of an interest in food. She's highly food motivated. She's still eating, just not much. No longer the velcro dog she's always been, she's started to lay in other rooms away from us. She also urinated in front of me this weekend, which she's only done one other time in her life. I know she's getting older, but I'm having trouble separating "normal age" from "something's wrong".

-I feel like a psychopath for having the rainbow bridge conversation while she's still alert, but I'm scared about quality of life if she won't take wet food, can't have her hair groomed, and continues to mat at her fur by chewing at it.

-Is the burst wart under her eye ER worthy if we're keeping it as clean as we can? Could some of her slowing down and laying elsewhere be just related to that and not something overall?

Sorry for the wall of text. I feel like I got a bomb dropped in my lap last month with no clear treatment options because this has all been kind of vague. After having a relatively healthy dog for 13 years suddenly we are playing medical whack a mole and I'm trying to do right by her but I have no context and no clear path.

Hi! My kitten (7 months) got spayed a few weeks ago and while she was under anesthesia, they noticed a lump under her tongue and it had lacerations. We were given antibiotics and she went in for a follow up a week later. At her one week follow up, they saw that the lacerations had gone away but the mass was still there. They scheduled her for a two week follow up which was today and the mass has not gone down in size. She is getting it biopsied on Thursday.

Obviously I’m terrified that it is oral cancer because at her age it doesn’t make sense for it to be a gum related issue. If any professionals have seen this or have an idea of what could be going on, your advice is appreciated.

Additional info: I found teeth marks in my monstera plant, so initially I thought that could have been the cause of the lacerations. We have since gotten rid of the plant.

ETA: she is eating and drinking fine and acting completely normal.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for insights from vets or cat owners with experience in dental cleanings for older cats. My cat is 12 years old, and she is scheduled for her first teeth cleaning in a week. I fully understand that this is a necessary procedure, but my anxiety is through the roof—I’m terrified something could go wrong with the anesthesia.

She was spayed at four months old, so that was the only time she’s ever been under anesthesia. We are doing bloodwork a week before the procedure to ensure her kidneys and heart are in good shape. I also had a consultation with the vet dentist who will be performing the cleaning, and they have an anesthesiologist who tailors the anesthesia plan based on bloodwork and age, which does help ease my mind a bit.

For those of you who have done dental cleanings on older cats, I’d really appreciate it if you could share: • How often do you see complications in older cats during or after cleanings? • How long is the recovery process typically? • What should I expect to see post-anesthesia in terms of behavior or side effects? • How can I provide the best post-procedure care to ensure a smooth recovery?

I’ve already postponed this procedure twice due to my anxiety over the risks, but I know it’s important for her health. Any reassurance, advice, or experiences would be incredibly helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. My one year old cat, Poppy, got spayed about 12 days ago. Nothing in her diet has changed and she is very upbeat and playing around.

This morning I checked her litter box and it was covered with diarrhea. Is this a sign that I should be concerned about? TIA.

Species: Cat • Age: 1 • Sex/Neuter status: Female, spayed • Breed: Calico • Body weight: 8lbs • History: N/A just adopted • Clinical signs: Diarrhea • Duration: 1 day • Your general location: NYC

ETA: Spay sight looks perfect. No bulging or signs of infection.

A couple months ago I wrote here about my dog consistently licking herself around her stomach/breast area, I felt around a bit and discovered milk bring produced, which she can't be pregnant because she's been near no male dog's in the last 9 now 11 months of that I'm certain, so I assumed it was a false pregnancy but her 2 bottom teats have not decreased in size, Idk if it's normal or not but when she sits her 2 bottom teats can slouch on the ground.

She has black patches along her stomach/breast however my mother and I had seen this before and changed her diet to get rid of what we thought was a yeast infection, months have gone by to no change

Her environment is the following: inside most of the day (all day if raining) kept to either my room which is always air conditioned or the dining room for her food, she's goes outside if someone else is out there or just for a toilet time, this is due to a temporary relocation where there is too many things that could make her wander around and get lost in bushland. She is over 10 years old she was a couple years old when we bought here and she had already had puppies once, we never got her spayed but I will be looking at it once my mother and I have relocated to a more permanent location.

Her obsessive licking is joined by her breath which if she goes on for too long it starts to spread around the room or in the immediate vicinity of who's near her.

What is going on with her? Would appreciate some sort of knowledge.

I adopted my cat, ~2 y/o neutered male, shorthair, last June. He had ear mites, an ear infection, and ceruminolith in both ears. We had his ears cleaned out in August. Today I brought him in for a check up and was told he has another ceruminolith on his left ear, as well as bilateral ear infections. I’m not shocked about the infections but I’m really frustrated hearing that, after 4 months, he again might need an expensive procedure and to be put under. Is it normal for the earwax to build up that quickly? Did they do the first procedure right?

More observations on his ears—I’ve noticed him itching them pretty heavily once or twice over the past month or so. His earwax is oddly black when I clean his ears. I’m not shocked to hear he has another infection—could this be a factor in the build up?

Signalment: dog, 12 years old, male, neutered, mix breed, 47lbs

History: healthy with no problems until a few years ago he got discospondylitis and herniated disc in the same space. Treated with crate rest, at home exercises, and antibiotics. Currently managed well with pain medication. The infection did leave some arthritis. Heart murmur discovered about 1.5 years ago, I think grade 2 or 3.

Clinical signs: bloody discharge from one nostril when sneezing

Length of time seen changes: 1 week

Links to reports: no links available. He had an x-ray Friday that showed a soft tissue mass far back in his left nostril that has grown behind his eye.

General location: eastern US

A week ago today I noticed bloody discharge from my dog’s nose when he sneezed. I took him to the vet on Tuesday and left with antibiotics and a recommendation to get an x-ray. He got the x-ray Friday, which is described above. During the procedure, the vet performed a nasal flush and tried to get a biopsy. She was unsuccessful with the biopsy because the tumor is so far back in his nose and it was causing a lot of bleeding, so she decided to stop. When I picked him up we discussed options. I decided against radiation for many reasons. So we are going to keep him comfortable until it’s time.

I think I’m just looking for general information about nasal cavity tumors, and how things usually progress. The vet did a wonderful job explaining things to me, but I was kind of in shock and am just now processing a lot of what she said.

When I picked him up Friday, she said he may have increased bleeding because of all the poking around. He did not have any discharge Saturday, but yesterday and today his bloody noses have increased. It also got worse over the course of the week last week. Could this be due to the flush and attempted biopsy? Basically, how long after the procedure should I expect increased bleeding?

The vet also said he has air in his palette, which she believes is an indication the tumor has started to invade the palette. She said she wasn’t sure it would cause issues eating, but air flow could become an issue. I don’t know anything about canine anatomy. Could food get stuck in there and get infected? Is there anything I should look out for?

His left nostril is almost completely blocked by the tumor. Besides loud breathing and mouth breathing, what are signs he’s having difficulty getting air?

She told me a few things to look out for that things are getting worse. These were bloody discharge from his other nostril, worsening bloody noses in the affected nostril, eye bulging, eye discharge, pressing his forehead against the wall, seizures, and of course loss of appetite. Are there other, more subtle signs to look out for? I know dogs are really good at hiding pain. I don’t want my boy to suffer. I don’t want him to struggle to breathe and have seizures.

Otherwise, what can I expect here? Is there a typical disease progression with these types of tumors? A typical timeline or way they grow? This post is really just an information gathering mission. Any information you can provide would be extremely helpful as I try to make the best decision for my boy.

I’m looking for some advice for my cat. She is just under 1 year old and has been diagnosed with a Liver Shunt. She is currently having Purina Pro Plan hydrolysed diet with 4ml Lactulose per day. I’ve just spoken to the surgeon from our vets today and they say surgery will give the best outcome for her, however I feel a bit uneasy about some of the statistics. She’s said there’s a 37% chance she will have neurological issues as a result of the surgery, and a 50% chance that she won’t recover from them if she does. Apparently 5% of cats do not make it through the surgery. Also a risk of seizures after surgery which could result in euthanasia. How long is she likely to survive if we didn’t do surgery and just kept her on the diet/medicine? My heart is telling me to go with the surgery to give her the best chance at a long, happy, normal life, but I think my head is panicking about the chances of her not surviving the surgery at all. My vet did say she’s only treated 3 or 4 cats over the last 25 years with liver shunts. Are there any vets who have a little bit more experience with liver shunt cats than can please give me some reassurance or even just any knowledge on the statistics please. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm in desperate need of advice! My cat is my most important living being, she's the reason I keep on going and now she needs help and so do I.

She is almost five years old, spayed female. Indoor only, a bit chubbier than necessary, but no excessive weight changes lately.

About year and a half ago, she had eye problems, I can't remember everything, but her eye pressure was high, a cataract appeared and vet ophthalmologist said it was interior uveitis. After many different treatments we agreed that it's most likely toxoplasmosis and treated her for it (without actual tests) and it seemed resolved after the treatment. We did the FIV,FELV, FCOV tests back then and it all came negative. She had some other health issues since, but nothing eye related. I had tests done again this November and now she is FCOV positive, which means that I've been paying even closer attention to her health and that every stressor can cause a bigger risk. (I retook the test because I had foster kittens living with us, they brought fleas, giardia and FCOV, among other things...)

The new worry started on Thursday, after waking up she kept her eye closed. When I would try to get a closer look and open it, the third eyelid was covering it and when it would retract I noticed that the eye was cloudy.

I called the specialist from before, but they told me he's on vacation. (The substitute told me it's best to still call the colleague on vacation and ask him if it is an emergency, rather than bring her for a check up to them) I decided to take her to the closest vet, who recommended the specialist the last time. But he only said that it doesn't seem to be an emergency and told me to put chloramphenicol ointment for five days and then schedule the specialist. Today is fifth day with the ointment and I don't see any changes.

I kind of lost trust in all the vets around me (there is more of them that I didn't mention). They often seem very unconcerned, tell me not to waste money if the checkups seem unnecessary to them and I think they are often much more fond of dogs.

This morning I called another vet where we did the blood tests, asking if I should do the tests and which ones before we go to see the specialist, and again they seemed clueless and told me to go without the tests for the first exam.

The thing is that every going out seems too stressful for her, if I take her to the specialist first, then he says to take her for a blood test, then return to him, then there will be at least one more checkup in about a week it will be too much stress that it could cause her more harm than good.

Here are photos

My kitty has a heart murmur and is going in to get it checked out by a cardiologist. The problem is I'm super worried the stress might cause him to have a heart attack or something because of his murmur. Last time he came home from the vet he was yelling and panting but calmed down after a few minutes, and I also lost a cat recently very suddenly so I think I'm just being paranoid, but I would like reassurance from vets.

I'd call my own vet but they don't open until 8 and his appointment is at 8

My four year old inside cat has been sneezing unusually much for the last 24 hours. She keeps sneezing and seemingly trying to blow her nose. She has never displayed this behavior before. She has no other symptoms and isn't changing behaviorally. She's also been licking up towards her nose and pawing at it. She's also not sneezing snot, it's like a spray. I'm just concerned for her bc she just had a fit where she sneezed like 7 times in a row.

We haven't moved or done any drastic changes. We did clean our tub yesterday and my parents think she's irritated from the chemicals. I don’t know, I'm worried
