Dog not eating? Help!?

Q. Our dog has not been eating and we cannot figure out why. He doesn't seem to have any other signs of dog depression, and we have been spending as much time with his as possible. We plan to take him to the vet but can't get in for two weeks! Any suggestions as to what we can do in this time? We're really worried, it's been several days since he's last eaten.

A. Your dog may have a blockage in the intestine or something worse. You NEED to get the dog to the an animal hospital now. Call every vet in the area if you have to but do not wait any longer.


Signs of depression... need some advice?
Q. About six months ago I had what my doctors told me was a mini stroke. There were some things that happened to my speech and my thought process too. It has taken some time but I feel like I am close to feeling back to normal. The problem is that I have noticed that I am being more lazy and that I like to be alone. I choose to not go out and our dog annoys me now... and sometimes my wife seems too close. I have slept in the guest room some nights just because it feels comfortable and relaxing. I know that I am not socializing well with others and things that used to bring me joy or relaxation no longer do much for me. Does any of this sound like signs of depression to you... and is there a way I can work on this without taking prescription drugs. Thanks for any input.

A. my grandfather just had a mini stroke too...
just don't seclude yourself from the rest of the world
if you need to you can always find someone to talk to


My mom has all the signs for depression and my dad says he knows she has it to but i don't know what to do>?
Q. I have been struggling for a long time now. My mom has depression and she doesn't know it. My dad agrees she has it and we talked for a couple days about what to do because it has been weighing me down for too long. I was trying to figure out what to do. Then it is his anniversary came up in two days and the day before i had youth group and he tells me that night i change on the days i have youth grup. I have no clue why he said this wehn he works all day. He was taking my moms word. My mom is the one who does most 99.9 percent of stuff. I admitt i do things after she has done stuff out of anger. I will yell or say things i dont mean.

Examples ~ i help her by filling a 1/4 cup of milk for mac and cheese and she goes its not all the way full. yeah maybe just a tinnnnnnest bit not goibng to hurt anything then i get in trouble for argueing and i didnt. I cant stand it anymore i cry myslef to sleep and i jsut cant handle it. I am homeschooled and dont want to go to public school.
Another example ~ she brings my clothes upstairs from basement and lays over couch. I dont like them over the couch so i think of what to say and polietky say could u not bring my clothes up and lay over coch i dont like them over it and i told her eirlier i weould get them later today and she yelled at me for telling her what to do when i asked and i told her that i asked and asking and telling makes a huge difference

but anywas i got introuble that means no phone which i need for babysitting pruposes and then no ipod which i enjoy no ministry events in my youth group we are going to a church on wed and she told me i acnt go that is not time to fellowship thats worship so i need help my dad doesnt beleive me anymore and wont do anything if i try i will get in more trouble my dad wont help me he believes her and i am so sorry this is so long. I told one friend and she doesnt know what to do. I am a very good girl not doing things behind parents backs. I dont know who to tell. I have read so many things,. My dad ifhe gest super stressed could have a heart attack and i am worrited about him if she leaves then she could do something and i jsut want to get her helped and if she leaves my dog could get depressed and die and then my dad said we dont have money to help her and if he says something to her she will leave and he doestn want that so please help i need out of this situation it is conflicting with my school and my well being ~ i am a teen and 4 years till i can move out i cant last taht long

I don't know how to who should I go to ~ I am getting blamed for everything its all my fault to both parents and I have no clue who to confide in

My mom has depression ~ those were just to quick examples that happened recently ~ I try my best around her but she changes things and my dad is now believing her and he never cuses and he got so mad yesterday that he did
Thank you stn 1225 ~ I will keep talking to him and hope he does something and I know he believes her but if I cant i will go to another friend and then maybe her mom too

A. You did not say how old you were. Assuming you are still fairly young (15)... Children with troubled parents always thinks it is their responsibility to fix their parent. The truth is you can't fix her. She has to choose to fix herself. You are fortunate to have your father in the picture, so confide in him your worries and plead with him to do something. If he keeps being stubborn, then go to the school counselor.

Important to note, you should keep your spirits up when around her. The slip into depression is very easy and if she sense your anxiety it will compound hers.


Could i be going into early signs of depression?

my guardians dont know and im only 13?what should i do whats wrong with this?

Oh and not all of this is caause of loseing my dog its cause of my relationship arguements daily to.

A. You definitely have signs of depression. Talk to your guardians or another adult about what is going on, you need to see a therapist. This isn't really 'early' depression if its been like this for a year? Lots of teenagers and even kids are depressed, so it isn't unusual exactly but you do really need someone to help you deal with all of this.
