Long hours to wait and as always be prepared with a large sum of money. Glad to mostly know what's wrong with my old dog though.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Are the eye drops for cataracts on dogs as effective as surgery for the dog

Brenda Soder | Sep 11, 2019
Angel Inzuasti | Sep 11, 2019

Absolutely!

Do they offer any sorts of "virtual" appointments? This may help for folks who may need a diagnoses but are 1-2 hours drive away. Some animals just the car ride can cause stress. This seems like it would be a great opportunity!

Fred Richards | Sep 10, 2021
Angela Cooke | Sep 10, 2021

We drove almost 2 hours in the middle of the night got home at 3:30am. Well worth the drive as where we live there are no emergency vets.

I have a 9 year old yellow lab. He has severe arthritis in one of his elbows and limps noticeably when walking. We've been giving him carprofen, gabapentin & glucosamine supplements, but that is having limited effect. What are other options?

Greg Campbell | Sep 10, 2020
Lauri Lamplough | Sep 10, 2020

You should probably call the vet for stuff like that, or go to their facebook page. They don't usually monitor medical questions on here.

Can you get sick from covid vaccination?

Sandra Covey | Sep 10, 2021
Timothy Shay | Sep 10, 2021

The chances of getting sick in any way or dying from the Covid-19 vaccine shots are absolutely astronomical. The pros of getting your pet or yourself vaccinated for it actually exponentially outweigh not getting it. Pretty safe to say, actually super safe to say...you will not get sick. Maybe even because of the shots you won't, too.

Trix Render | Sep 10, 2021

Is there any basic price when you first begin your first appointment.?

Markie Kane | Sep 10, 2021
Tina Jaworski | Sep 10, 2021

My first appointment included several tests, bloodwork, and medication so I believe it is based on the services provided.

I know the web page says currently closed unless emergency but I contacted them because my girl has a tumor the size of a soccer ball in her belly area and they won't contact me back. These people don't care,

Does anyone know a vet who will take xrays without anesthesia? In Onondaga County

Cyndi Araujo | Sep 10, 2020
Rachel Heilig | Sep 10, 2021

Liverpool Village Animal Hospital gave our puppy something to calm him down, but I don't think they used anesthesia to knock him out and I believe the Emergency Vet Clinic in East Syracuse.

I would just put aloe or vasoline on it

Approximately how much does laryngeal tieback surgery cost for an 11-year old lab in otherwise good physical condition?

A Google User | Sep 10, 2020
Retriever19 Golden | Sep 10, 2020

Or, your regular vet can call for a quote. They gave my vet a ballpark estimate for hip replacement surgery on my puppy of 5-7 thousand, it was a really major surgery, and it hit the high end because of unforeseen problems, but they took wonderful care of him (vet students are assigned only 1-2 animals to care for). It's been almost three months and he's doing great.

Can anyone give me their experience with immune-mediated thrombocytopenia? My dog has had one blood transfusion and I just don’t know how far to go.

Bernie Smith | Sep 10, 2020
Julia Buffo | Sep 10, 2020

I would call and speak to a specialist at Cornell. I had questions like this when my cat was ill and they were very helpful.

My dog ate yeast. I used 2 tsp in the recipe. Not sure how much she ingested. She’s about 45 pounds. Is this dangerous?

Libby Carley | Sep 10, 2020
Julia Buffo | Sep 10, 2020

I wouldn't try any home remedies for risk of making things worse. The animal hospital will absolutely be able to help you. You can always call and do a consult quickly over the phone.

With all due respect, only your vet can answer you. There may be various stages of renal disease and various times they need fluids. Ask your vet!

Do you do laprascopic spays? Do they normally have to spend the night? And if you do the laprascopic spays, how long do you have to keep them quiet after the surgery, is it like the traditional spay, 10-14 days?

Sandy Bomgren | Sep 11, 2019
Maria Rummel | Sep 11, 2019

I don't know. You best bet is to call and ask them.

Have you heard if CBD oil is helpful for dogs with alleries?

Bronco vlogs | Sep 11, 2019
Maureen | Sep 10, 2020

There is alot of controversy about CBD oil for dogs. Also, alot of CBD companies are unscrupulous and sell, even for people, a product that contains mostly alcohol. Always ask your vet about supplements and meds -- they may just suggest Benadryl or Prednisone for your dog.

Are feline distemper vaccines recommended? Previous vet of 25 years stopped giving them, saying they were harmful. New vet asked why my cat hasn't had any, and highly recommended he receive one. What say you?

Marsha Smith | Sep 11, 2019
Maureen | Sep 10, 2020

If you let your cat outdoors I say vaccinate for everything. But ask your vet if there's a danger factor and why it's highly recommended.

Is the corona virus in felines contagious to humans?

A Google User | Sep 11, 2019
J. Parry-Hill | Sep 10, 2020

No, the virus that causes Feline Infectious Periontitis does not transmit to humans. In houses with less than 5 cats, the virus will eventually die out on its own.

I have a 5yr. Old poodle that has some type of lymphoma. Is there a clinical trial I can put her in that would help her. I was told that chemo would cost 8- 10,000 dollars. Or is there a holistic cure?

Janet Paonessa | Sep 11, 2019
Leslie Morgan | Sep 11, 2019

I have dealt with Cornell for 2 of my dogs. They saved the lives of both. They have a history of cancer survivors and the doctors are amazing. You are called every 4-6 hours around the clock if they are in the hospital. Top knotch all the way around.

Should we free feed or schedule feed a Great Dane puppy, he is 12 weeks old?

Frank Magari | Sep 11, 2019
Chris Snow | Sep 11, 2019

We have a 1 yr old Grest Dane. Start with a schedule to learn her eating habits. If he finishes h oh s portion each time, stick wit a schedule so he doesn't overeat. If he doesn't, then try the free feeding. We ended up free feeding. She eats when she eats.

I just found out my 14 year old cat has a lager mass in her abdomen area. Vet said she might only have month to live. how much surgery would cost for it? I want my baby to live

marshmallow girl | Sep 11, 2019
Eric Farino | Sep 11, 2019

Our dog had a mass turned out to be camcer. Surgery is very exxpensive. The initial was over $2000. The subsuquent one that Cornell recommended after a second look and full work up was 8-12 thousand and that would only help for about 6 months. Consider the options and quality of life after surgery. I would recommend having it biopsied to see if surgery will even help.

Can I give my ferret powerade for the electrolytes

Donna Tocci | Sep 11, 2019
Timothy Diamond | Sep 11, 2019

No. Powerade is not for animal consumption. Pedialyte is fine to give. Also do not give Gatorade, Boost, or Insure to animals. As it is not good for their digestive system as well. Unless a veterinarian prescribed it. It is best not to give animals anything meant for human consumption.

My cat Max has had a very high Temperature and was lethargic, off his food, since 13th April, His temperature is down to normal now, but he will not eat, He has had Antibiotics, and is on a medicine now, but why won't he eat,

Jennifer Spring | Sep 11, 2018
Timothy Diamond | Sep 11, 2018

It's more of how old is Max. The odor of cat is the more possibility of dim becoming lethargic and just won't eat. If Max's office feed and his young then there's got to be something more going on with him I can't sit here and say that he's got a twisted stomach or something like that I am not a vet but I would take him back to the veterinarian and have them take a look at him one more time. I hope this helps I hope Max turns out okay and my prayers are with you.

I have a 1 yr old puppy that can't see. Had her eyes checked and the are working correctly. They put her on antibiotics and pedisone. No improvement. They are recommending a MRI. I am a single mom. Do you have programs that I can apply for.

sandy whitt | Sep 11, 2018
Timothy Diamond | Sep 11, 2018

They have a program that could possibly help. If you have good credit. You probably will qualify for it. I sincerely pray your puppy will be fine. You are a special person, because of your love for your Fur- Baby. God Bless You and your Puppy.

Can I give my 13 yr old cat cetirizine 5 mg for allergies?

Mary Lou Bernard | Sep 11, 2018
Timothy Diamond | Sep 11, 2018

That's a question best answered by a veteranarian. Because of the age of your cat. It is not wise to ask someone other than a certified person.

My ship tzu mix breed puppy needs a MRI Does anyone know how much it will cost

sandy whitt | Sep 11, 2018
Timothy Diamond | Sep 11, 2018

As for the cost. It will be costly. The cost of an MRI for a human is well over$2,000.00 dollars. I hope your Fur-Baby will be alright. Do the right thing for them.
