4 yr old female Lab, allergic and unhappy
Thursday, March 8th, 2007Pet Owner Question: I have a great female lab mix. She is 4 years old, and the most fearful, anxious and unhappy friend I have ever had. She is allergic to environmental stuff and is on antigens and low dose steroids. I recently saw on TV that she can have acupuncture treatment for some of these problems. Can you help us?? Labs done last week are all normal except for a very slightly elevated Alk. Phos.
Thank you, BVB
2 year old cocker spaniel with skin problems
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007Pet Owner Question: I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD COCKER SPANIEL WHO HAS SKIN PROBLEMS. HE IS ON PREDNISONE AND OMEGA 3 SUPPLEMENTS. HE HAS GAINED 15 LBS SINCE STARTING ON PREDNISONE.
I HAVE HIM ON DIET FOOD 2 CUPS A DAY, HAVE TRIED TO WEAN THE PREDNISONE AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS RASH APPEARS.
QUESTION IS IS THERE ANYTHING HOLISTIC TO TRY INSTEAD OF THE PREDNISONE THAT WOULD HELP HIM WITH HIS SKIN AND NOT CAUSE HIM TO BE OVERWEIGHT?
THANKS SO MUCH,
