Hello,
I just adopted a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy around 4-5 months old – she has an infected right front elbow that has a draining tube but she is not on medication?
What kind of questions should I ask the veterinarian I picked on Vet Locator?
Just a little history I found her at Rhodesian Ridgeback rescues in Los Angeles she was found in a water-way in dirty water which they believe someone threw her in which caused the injury.
Thank you,
Mary

I have a cat with idiopathic lower urinary tract crystals and I have changed his diet, but he still exhibits urinary frequency and urgency.
Are there other methods of treatment?
Thank You
What would constitute an emergency vet visit?
My golden retriever is experiencing extreme allergy problems and I’m concerned.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Is there a way to treat dogs for bladder stones without surgery?
If surgery is my only option, is there a diet I can put her on so that she no longer gets stones?
Thank you.
Hello —
My cat has a wound on his front left leg, and won’t stop licking it. The wound has been there for quite some time now, and he isn’t letting it heal. His behavior has not changed at all — he still runs around the house, leaps, uses the scratching post, etc, as he has always done, but the wound is getting worse.
He is semi-feral so putting him in a carrier to take him to the vet would be a major undertaking.
Do you have any suggestions? Please help.
Thank you.
My dog has been tested for allergies and the treatment for them is not working.
What else can I do?
Thank you
Our dog has had an x-ray and it shows a bone chip or some other object floating off of the knee.
Our vet said that an orthopedic vet would need to do surgery – the dog is 5 months old and the estimate (initial) was $2500.
Does this sound right and/or can non orthopedic vets perform this fix?
The dog is limping and often holding the leg (rear) up when walking/hopping.
Thank you.
Two weeks ago my cat of 18 yrs suffered a slight stroke. She was down for two days and then came around and she is doing better.
Now I’m worried again. Her belly is swelling up and she does not seem in pain but she eats twice a day and drinks a lot of water and she voids a lot too.
Her bowels are moving as well. I don’t want to take her to our vet for fear he will say put her down. I can’t do that. I believe God gives life and he will take her when it’s time.
Can you suggest anything?
I have a ten year old black lab who has had skin problems most of his`life – the pads of his feet are somewhat raw from licking and we have tried`antibiotics, shampoo, topical ointments, sprays, prednizone and generally`trying to keep him from licking – he also has one ear that seems to get
infected often – any suggestions as to what else to do – this has been a`chronic problem since last July – thanks
