I have an 8 year rottweiler with kidney disease – diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. He is taking Azydol and Rubenal. He was prescribed Hills Science Dog Food/KD. He is refusing to eat the dog food. I have found some recipies for making food for him myself, but most have too much protein in them. First of all, is there anything I can put over/mix with the KD food to make it more appealing to him? Do you have a recipe for food I can make myself? Thanks for your help.

My Weimaraner was diagnosed with MCTs two years ago – he had two tumours removed, one being on his head so the surgeon wasn’t able to take a wide enough margin. After two operations we decided enough was enough and looked into Homeopathy, and found a wonderful Holistic Vet, we haven’t looked back since. He is taking an MCT nosode, CV 247 (which is also being trialled on humans and is showing very favourable results), Floressence, he is on an organic RAW diet, has cottage cheese and ground flaxseed, fish oils, garlic, yogurt etc. He is doing extremely well, he’s happy, active and full of life, out hunting every day and people can’t believe he has cancer, it’s amazing! Research has shown that we are over vaccinating our pets, the wormers etc are filling them with toxins and this is the result, all unnecessary when it can be done naturally IMO. I urge everyone to please look at alternatives as it’s been a complete eye opener to me 🙂
My dog vomited twice yesterday. The first time was his food and the second was yellow and watery. He didn’t really eat his food today and just wanted water however he vomited that watery yellow stuff again. He is pretty much acting like his normal self playing and all besides the eating.
What should I do?
Could it be the heat?

Our 10 year-old toy poodle has crusty discharge from her eyes for months but now she is squinting and rubbing her eyes. What could this be and is there a treatment to help her?
About three years ago my 2 year old King Charles Spaniel was diagnosed with fungus on his skin. At the time my vet told me to bath him in betadine, leaving on his skin for 5 minutes before shampooing him off and that seemed to help for a little while. Next I tried an antifungal cream which also helped but smelled TERRIBLE. I’ve taken him to a specialist who gave me some wipes and other medication for the condition, but nothing seems to get a good handle on this reoccurring problem.
I’m at my wits end. Can you help???
Can you tell me the life expectancy for an Addison dog after diagnosis ?

PS My dog is being treated with percotin and prednisone for the last 3 years.
I have a small 18 month old female collie. Around 20 – 30 mins after taking her out on an overgrown track (grass, nettles etc) her face began to ripple and swelled to more than twice its size within seconds, in front of my eyes. Her eyes were ‘Chinese’ looking and she basically looked like a Staff Bull Terrier. She did not seem distressed, was eating and drinking as normal and swallowing and barking OK. The swelling has gone down quite a bit this morning and she is still eating OK. She has been up this track many times, but not for a couple of weeks due to the overgrowth. Could this be a bite or sting?

How often do dogs and cats need to have their teeth brushed? To be truthful I don’t get this done for them that often and I feel a little guilty.
What is a minimum frequency you recommend?
