Is there a home remedy for my dog skin problem?

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

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?

How do you know if a dog has a fur problem?

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

When I get home from work my dog always smells like he hasn’t had a bath in weeks but I give my dog a bath every other day. Does he have some kind of fur or skin problem?

Can a cat get sick in drinking water from a fish tank with algae?

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

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??

My cat is always licking herself. What can I do to get her to stop????

Friday, November 11th, 2011

My cat seems to spend almost every waking moment licking herself.  Her fur is damp and sometimes she licks so much she creates a bald spot.  She also throws up more than average.  I think it is a bad habit.  What can I do to get her to stop?

8 year old dog having trouble walking

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

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?
