Dogs paws showing abnormalities

Lily's paws were normal until about the start of this year as you can see in one of the photos. at first she just seems to get a little lazier but now I've noticed her paws seem to be rolling backwards? her nails protrude way more out than they used to. she can still go outside and use the bathroom but she has fully lost either the motivation or ability to run and seems to slow down after maybe 10 minutes of walking. she used to be a very active dog and this scares me. her dew claw touches the ground despite her standing regularly when it didn't use to. I don't have the money for a vet so I'm hoping there's some kind of exercise or maybe store bought remedy for this?

don't want to lose my dog:(

I am writing this because I’m very worried and need help. My dog was just at the vet, and her ultrasound shows she has the start of Pyometra.

I asked the doctor how much ​the surgery will costs, and she said, in between 17,000 to 20,000. Right now, we are only using antibiotics because we don't have enough money for the operation yet. The medicine helps for a little bit, but the vet said she must have the surgery soon or it will be a life threatening. ​I love her so much and I’m doing everything I can, but I can't afford to pay the surgery on my own because I'm still a student. If you can give even a small amount, it would mean the world to me. If you can’t give money, please share this post so more people can see it. Thank you so much:(

Intense rash on dog paws

My brother has 4 yr old male gsd/pit mix (mostly gsd with 19% pit).

His dog has had this intense rash on his paws for awhile and not much has helped. Some one said allergic dermatitis but unsure how to progress or if this could be dermodex mange.

Dog has chronic diarrhoea

Our dog (male Cavapoo,7.2kg neutered, just over a year old) has just started training, and on Thursday evening we think we may have overfed him on McAdams treats (freeze dried turkey), which he has had daily since early on.

That evening he had explosive diarrhoea, which has persisted till today. He is generally fine in himself (if a bit tired) - he’s eating food, playing normally, no other worrying symptoms. He just won’t stop pooping! Bets have given him some biding probiotics, and we’ve given him anti diarrhoea medication, but neither seem to have worked.

Any advice on probable cause / treatment would be helpful, as getting up in the dead of night to go out of our flat to let him poop is starting to wear thin on day 4!

Sebaceous Cysts

For the past few months, my 8-year-old mini dachshund has been getting sebaceous cysts all over his body. They pop and mat his fur and leave a bloody hole. The vet said it normal and nothing can be done, just keep them clean so they don’t get infected. He has long hair so it can be hard to get to them to clean them. Wondering if anyone has had luck with a supplement or a shampoo or some holistic treatment to prevent them altogether?

Skin condition black spots hair loss

Hi this is my first post ever I’m more of a reader of Reddit but I’m a little desperate for advice.

My dog was groomed in November and my mother says the groomer put a perfume on my dog that made her skin react this way but it is half a year later and the patches of hair loss is getting wider and these spots are showing up in my dogs back that I’ve never seen before. Chat gpt says it might be allergic dermatitis from a flea infection however she get fleas treatment and a regular check her fur it doesn’t have fleas . My other dogs hair is perfectly fine and it’s just my corgi. She often plays and sticks her head under the fence interacting with the neighbors dog. I don’t know if it’s a factor but I need to state everything. I also noticed that the hair is slooooowly starting to grow back. My other dog is a tiny old Chihuahua and there’s no chance that she nips her hair out as she doesn’t even play anymore. She’s very old. I’m just at a loss and I don’t want to spend so much money at the vet. doing a bunch of tests. I will if I have to for my baby but I’m going to do an oatmeal bath to soothe her skin from the itchyness. I really want to know if anybody has ever seen this before. Please let me know. I know it’s not proper diagnosis just asking for opinions and others experience. I’m attaching some photos. Thank you
