12 yr old lab mix had parvo as pup. since then digestive problems & reoccurring pancreaitis.

3 months ago she started vomiting every other day. took her to vet. He treated her with homeopathy & chinese herbs for the pancreas & vomiting. 2 weeks later took her back. he did blood work-liver levels high. everything else ok(sugar and blood counts).said liver disease possible cancer. suggested milk thistle & take her for sonogram & biopsy. I did research & started her on the herbs (liver health blend including milk thistle) & diet of canned Nutro foods – sensitive stomachs- very small servings 3-4x’s a day with a powdered greens mix, lecithin,C, Pancreatic glandulars & more herbs with Prozyme digestive powder. improved and keeping more down.I give her homeopathic blend by Heel to detox & Ipec.

Is there more I can do?-throws up much less-went 1 week but has spells of vomiting still. eats it & it stays down. energy good. Seems pancreas more than liver?

How long should I expect?

What do you think?

We have a 12.5 year old Pomeranian with TCC. He’s been on Piroxicam for about 13 months and has responded very well with it. Just this week, he became lethargic and lost his appetite… and he has just been diagnosed with Addison’s dx as well. Now here’s the dilemma… Continue the piroxicam knowing full well of the possibility of GI bleed with the prednisone for the treatment of addison’s or just stop it? Are we running low on options?

Thanks!

My bearded Collie is to have a growth removed from her spleen tomorrow.
Should I be over concerned about this operation and how common is this type of problem. My dog is ten years old and the Vet seems to think there should be no problems, however I still can’t help but worry.

I have a couple of cats who have chronic herpes according to my vet. I treat it periodically with antibiotics but it’s effectiveness is short lived. My question is: since this is a virus could it be helped by taking elderberry juice/syrup since it is a natural anti-viral. I have plenty of elderberries. I certainly would not give it to my cats unless I was certain it would not poison them.

Long story short, I was left with a non-spayed female jack russel/mini pincher.
She mated with a germanshepard/rotweiller.about 4wks ago.

Definetly preg.

I’m concerned,& on. a fixed income,but I think she is uncomfortable & don’t want it to get worse.

What are the possibilities &where do I go from here?

My dog keeps throwing up. She doesn’t do this everyday but when she does it, it’s a few times a day. It looks like foam and spit.

What’s going on?

Is it okay to give Nux Vomica 30 C to an 8lb diabetic cat for constipation?

How much mineral oil would you give for constipation?
