12 year old greyhound with problems. Anything I can do to ease her discomfort?

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I have a 12yr.old greyhound with an enlarged heart, heavy breathing when not in air conditioning but energenic when weather is cooler. Her appetite excellent. In the morning she seems fine but when humidity increases her breathing is labored.

Is there anything I can give her to ease her discomfort? The only medication she is on is Proin for incontinence.

Please help…we love her.

Thanks.

Limping dog, nothing shows on x-rays

Monday, August 27th, 2007

Approximately 6 weeks ago my Black Lab started limping. For the first 1 ½ weeks I gave Tillie Rimadyal. The last (3) weeks she has been Predizone 20 mg.

Neither of these drugs have resolved her limp. . If anything it has gotten worse.

My VET ran x-rays. The x-rays did not show anything. My Vet Doc then gave me the Predizone and said it could be early arthritis.

Since none of these (2) meds have worked. . and I now know that this can cause liver damage. .

What should I do?

Thanks for your concern with this.

Hacking French Bulldog help

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

My 3 month old french bulldog hacks up phlegm every time he wakes up. He seems to be choking to get it up. A vet gave me amoxicilin to try but 2 weeks later this is still happening. The vet seems to think that it isn’t kennel cough. Do you have any suggestions. The cough is dry and hacking rather then a goose honk sound.
