September 1st, 2009Trouble finding a vet that practices nutritional response therapy

I need to find a vet that practices nutritional response therapy in the Phoenix, Arizona area.
I have a male golden retriever who is 3 years old and started having seizures.
Thank you,

Feline upper respiratory infection
August 30th, 2009Hi,
I don’t know if you can answer me or give me some advice, but anything would be appreciated!
I recently got a kitten from the Humane Society and he ended up having a URI. He is now on antibiotics.
My already 8 year old cat now has a very runny eye. It is just the one eye and it is squinty and with clear/yellow colored discharge.
I asked the vet about it when I was there and he said that since she is older, she will probably be able to fight off the URI. He said to just keep and eye on her.
I am however a little worried. I have been applying a warm compress to her eye for as long as she will allow me to, a few times a day.
How long should I wait before bringing her in to the vet, and are there any over the counter eye drops or creams that you could recommend to me for her? And is this a common symptom of URI to have only one watery eye?
Thank you so much,
From a worried cat mom!
Cat with a descending duodenal large cell malignant lymphoma – constipation problem
August 29th, 2009My cat is 8 years old. She was diagnosed with a descending duodenal large cell malignant lymphoma that is creating an intestinal blockage. She has lost a lot of weight and is on 200ml daily subcutaneous fluid and baytril injections for an infection; also she was given a depo medrol shot for the lymphoma. She has been on this for 2 weeks now.
She looks interested in food but she will not eat.
She pees 2-4 times per day and her fever from the infection seems to have broken. She is pretty alert but she seems to be straining to defecate. She passed a very small dry stool but she seems to be constipated.
We think that if her bowels are emptied that she will be less nauseous and will start to eat and gain some weight and strength back. We think the dry stool was caused by the blockage when she started to not drink and no fluid was passing her blockage and her stomach was full of liquid that she kept vomiting. She was vomiting a lot of fluid for about a week after we started the subcutaneous fluid.
Should we take her into the vet to see if she can give her an enema or stool softener?
Could an interacation with the rabies vaccine caused my dog’s death?
August 28th, 2009Would you happen to know if there could have been a drug interaction with a rabies shot that my dog had.
She had a congestive heart condition and got progressively worse after the shot and died within 3 weeks of getting the shot.
I am heartbroken and need to know if I did something wrong in getting her vaccinated.

Doberman with scabs around his neck. What is it???
August 28th, 2009I have a 8 month old doberman and he has developed sores that are just scabbed over around his neck and a few on sides and a couple on his leg.
I took him to the vet yesterday to get him examined and the vet did a blood culture. Vet said that it was probably from mosquito bites. Recommended a mosquito and fly Advantage treatment.
When I brought him home and went to bed he began to have the runs and vomited all his food up once. The runs lasted till this morning and I made him stay in his crate and rest today.
This afternoon I noticed that there are many more of the scabbed over sores. I am really concerned. I travel and am not home to take him to my vet.
ANY IDEAS WHAT THIS COULD BE?????

Need to get health certificate for my dogs

Chronic kidney failure in my 11 y/o beagle
August 26th, 2009Chronic kidney failure in my 11 year old beagle. Have had her in the hospital twice to receive fluids, and am now having a vet tech over to the house daily to give her fluids.
She’s perky and happy and thus, our vet and we do not think it is her time to go, even though she does not like the hydration treatment.
My main confusion at this point, is her diet. I know that they said low protein is important, but more important is low phosphorus. She was eating a chicken and pasta canned food from a pet health food store, but is turning away from that. In desperation, I gave her a plain chicken breast which she gobbled up (am always worried that she is nauseous since that is when she stops eating and her BUN number rises).
So, is it o.k. for her to have chicken on a daily basis, or just be “strong” and leave the canned food down until she eats it? Have Pepcid from the vet and some other vitamin.
Any advice on any of these issues would be most appreciated because we adore our Jessica! Thanks much.

I have a macaw that suddenly is having matted mucus eyes
August 25th, 2009I have a macaw that was given to me over 7 years ago and suddenly he is having matted mucus eyes and I do not know what to do.
I do not have a car and am on disability so can not really take him anywhere to see a vet.
I live about 32 miles from the closest town.
He is not a tame bird he is a biter and stresses so easy.
Please what can I do for him?

My vet won’t authorize meds without seeing my dog.
August 24th, 2009Hello out there in blogland.
I just found out from my vet that I’ve had for 7 years and have always paid at the time of service, that my dog Izzy’s prescription for Novox (REALLY BAD HIPS. I was told this is a generic for Remadyl) could not be given an OK for unless she was seen by him.
I have been buying the drug online since it was so much cheaper.
I haven’t had to see the vet and he said by law he has to see a dog at least once a year to dispense meds.
Is this right?
I am currently unemployed and can barely pay my bills but don’t want Izzy to be in pain.
BTW, the vet also said she should have BOTH hips replaced at 5k each.
I am so depressed. Any suggestions out there?
