My German Shepherd has perianal fissures and I am wondering if there are any alternatives to surgery and protopic. The meds aren’t working and surgery seems to not help.

My dog was diagnosed 1 month ago with Addison’s Disease and I was wondering if there are things that can help instead of him being on steriods and cortisol shots the rest of his life.

Please let me know.

Thanks

I am searching for a Dallas Vet that offers anesthesia free teeth cleaning for my golden doodle.

Hello, I am interested in possibly adopting a 3YOF, spayed Spinone who is in need of a special home. She has had chronic Pseudomonas infections throughout her short life in BOTH ears and has required her owners to clean, irrigate, use steroids and antibiotics. She has be seen by a Bd.Cert. Vet Dermatologist. According to the owners, their Doggie Derm feels that there are 2 options left: putting down the dog or having surgery to remove both ear canals. Apparently, these ear infections clear up and then come back on a regular basis.
a.. Should I pursue this gal or leave her alone?
b.. Is there hope for her other than this operation?
c.. What is the success rate and Post-op recovery like for the owner and the dog?
d.. Will the dog be deaf?
e.. What is the recommended protocol for clearing up chronic Pseudo infections and how do you treat them?

Are there any herbs or vitamins that are harmful to canines or that interact with amoxicillian?

Thanks for any thoughts you can share.

My 3-year old neutered Papillon has a bad case of halitosis. He’s on raw feeding with frozen beef/venison mixed with a little squash and Omega-3…and a raw chicken wing alternating daily. His teeth get brushed 2-3 times a week. His treats are beef jerky, Greenies, or 3 very small pieces of grain-free kibble. Teeth are clean and white – thanks to the brushing and chicken bones. No vaccines since the puppy shots.

Any ideas??

There is a Tom Cat that keep terrorizing my non-neutered male cat. If I neuter him will the other cat leave him alone?

Any Suggestions?????

I have a 3 yr old German Shepherd with a vascular lesion under her tongue. I need a good vet in my area as the one I go to doesn’t seem to care to touch it. He wants us to go to Ohio State and we can’t afford it.

Could you please tell us what we should do?

My 8 yr old male Doberman was recently diagnosed with Wobbler’s Disease. He has a herniated disk between the 5th and 6th vertebrae which is putting pressure on his spinal cord. The Neurologist (Vet) at the Animal Hospital recommends surgery, however I feel that surgery is too invasive and the recovery would be too painful. Is there an alternate treatment?

Is he treatable? He appears to be getting worse everyday and I am afraid that time is running out.

Please advise as soon as possible.

Thank you.
