Having a sick dog

My dog came down with fleas, so I took them to the vet for treatment. Poor guy is stuck in a cone of shame! :D But now I'm curious to know if anyone's pets have come down with other ailments besides fleas? Shiny red nose? Frosty fur?

  • I found that after my first dog has fleas, my cat soon had all his paws turn red. It was, interesting to watch, to say the least.

    My elderly dog, Truman got sick. He had a glowing red nose and frosty fur. I was fearing for the worst, but opted for the expensive treatment and he was fine.

    So in the trailer when the girl takes her dog to the vet and he obviously delivers some bad news, then it fast forwards to her with a new dog...what happened there? Can dogs actually die at the vet?


    They made it up with creative editing. Pets don't die from illness, only old age.

  • My dog is throwing up everywhere, but I don't have the option to take her to the vet (or use the examination table that's in my sim's house). I tried debugging the dog, but she's still throwing up every 2 seconds.
  • I had this issue too. Took my sims dog to the vet which got rid of the fleas, but then she started puking everywhere and I had no option to use th examination table or take her to the vet.... turns out the pet is bugged, so you have to reset the pet..... -.-

  • My pets were never sick but now it's the opposite. Real pain. I ended up buying a vet table and doing it myself so I don't have to go through the buggy vet lot.

    I've had pets throw up, cats with red eyes, and dog covered in fleas and smelling (but it wasn't fleas). No cone of shame yet.

    i think that if you leave that family for a little while and play with another, you'll more likely get a sick dog


    I started my game with one household in which they had 5 children, now that they have grown up I switch between the households

    I visited one of my households and noticed their dog was sick , when I took him to the vet , all but one of my households had come in with sick pets

    Took me ages to sort them all out (and a lot of simoleons)
    Kind of ruins that game mechanic and eats away a lot of time (even on 3x gamespeed)

    no animals can only die of old age in the sims
