					I have a male pit.  He has fire red rash on his chest and swollen feet.  I already took him to a vet  and the staff said its bacterial infection. After medication his sickness went away but rashes are still there. I notice heat makes it more reddish.  I have many shampoo’s and different foods. Nothing works. Can anyone help me?

					Recently brought home a new dog , problem is that I have a cat  and he is very jealous and sad. My new dog seems friendly towards my cat but the my cat is not.  I am afraid my cat will run away – we have had him for 3 years from a kitten.

					I have a fish tank and there is green algae growing in it.  My cat has been drinking out of the tank for months, but recently the algae has really built up.  My cat has been throwing up, and it is the same color of the algae.  Is this what could be making him sick??

					We have an 8 year old dalmatian/pit bull mix who is having trouble walking with his back legs, especially his right hind leg.  He has episodes where he shakes.  He has been diagnosed with arthritis where his spine meets his tail from an episode of the same problem he had in May, now he has it again.  We have been giving him chondroitin and carprfofen which seems to help.  He has days where he seems almost ok, then days like today where we can’t get him in the car to go to he vet. We don’t know what to do.  Is a house call warranted, and if so, how much would it be?
