Hello. My dog has developed sudden onset of hives-now being treated with prednisone (3 weeks so far) and special diet.

Is there a homeopathic that could be substituted? I don’t like using steroids.

Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if you know of a natural means and herbs to treat mange in dogs?

Thanks

My 10 1/2 yr Chesapeake Bay began losing coordination in his hind quarters several months ago. After numerous Dr visits and a round of Rimadyl he is continuing to get worse. His left side worse than right. I’ve been told dysplasia but he doesn’t act or cry out as if in pain & is able to put weight on his hind legs but unable to keep his balance…starting to drag his left side until he’s able to get up, then almost crosses his hind legs.

Is there anything I can do?

Thank you!

Hello,

I have a question about my lab that is about 1 1/2 years old. He hasn’t eaten in about 3 days and we just noticed this morning that he’s been throwing up and his stool is watery. Is that a sign of Parvo? He’s also about 1 month late on his vaccinations for this year so I’m really worried about him. Also I have another little dog, should I separate them?

What is an holistic approach to hyperthyroidism besides drugs and radioactive surgery? Thank you for this information.

Have a blessed day.

Hello! We own a baby Maltese who is coming up on puberty really soon. We have been trying to decide whether or not to get her spayed.

Having been told that not getting her spayed would most likely result in ovarian or uterine cancer (which is totally ridiculous), the idea of spaying her immediately became suspect. I have been told all manner of horrible things that will happen if we allow her to go into heat and don’t get her spayed. Personally, I think it’s inhumane and unfair not to allow her to have at least one litter of pups. From my experience, spaying a female animal causes a lot of resentment from that animal and ruins their personality more so than with male animals.

I would like to know what to expect if I do not choose to spay my dog.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Question: Do you know of any herbal supplements I could try (and the
dosages) for FUTD?

Background: I have a cat with chronic urinary tract problems. He became
blocked a couple of years ago, and had the surgery. Since then, he has had
X-rays, urinalysis, thyroid test, blood work and no crystals were ever
found. In fact, nothing was found. I have spent over $1,000 trying to help
him, and I cannot afford to keep doing this. He has these infections almost
once a month. Baytril is the only thing that works, and I would hate for him
to become immune to it.

Any advice you could give would be appreciated. No one seems to have any
explanations for FUTD.

Thank you!
