My dog ate crazy glue!!!

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

I have a serious dog problem, my dog ate crazy glue and I want to know how this will affect her. I don’t know how much of it she ate but I took her outside to eat grass because she normally throws up after eating that stuff so I’m hoping that will prevent any sickness. She also has crazy glue and her paw and on her lips that have dried out, how can I remove this?

I already tried using soap and water. Help!

My dog keeps on crying when he walks, what could it be?

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

3 weeks ago, my dog started crying for no reason, like someone hurt him or something. Now recently, I notice that he is walking very slow and starts crying really loud and it seems like its problem with his back legs or his stomach. But, I’m not sure.

What could it be?

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?

Should I take my dogs to doggy day care?

Monday, November 28th, 2011

I have two dogs ages 2 and 3.  They are pretty happy when we are at home, but I’ve recently returned to work and they are alone for most of the day.  We live in the city and I can’t leave them out while we are away.

They both seem depressed.  We are considering doggy day care but I’m unsure.  I’m concerned with other dogs getting into fights with mine, dog illnesses and fleas, worms and stuff like that.

Any advice to help me?

My dog won’t come to me since I started dating

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

I’ve lived alone for most of my adult life.  Recently I started dating a very nice man and I have hopes this might be the one but recently my dog is acting strange.  He used to follow me wherever I was.  Now he keeps his distance and gives me hurt looks.

I try and include him in our outings but he just hangs back.  I think he’s jealous and I don’t know how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

4 y/o Basset with atopic dermatitis

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

I have a 4 y/o basset that has been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. I don’t want to continue with the steroid treatment my vet prescribed because I know it has severe long term side effects.

I have him on antihistimines and I also have a teatree oil and aloe spray for his really itchy spots. We have also been giving him baths in oatmeal &  aloe shampoo and conditioner.

He just seems miserble as his antihistimines wear off just before his next dose time.

What can I do to help him?

The steroids had nasty side effects while he was on them.

I don’t want to put him back on steroids and I have an alternative medicine book on dog allergies but I don’t know what to do right now.

Any advice out there?

Thanks, Dori
