My 13 year old female Chow/Golden mix has begun to have seizures the past few days. She’s been given valium but still has them at night while sleeping. I’d taken her in for blood in her urine last week and they gave her cipro and two days later she started seizing. Her urine has cleared, and I don’t want to give her any other drugs if possible. Any other suggestions?
Thank You
History: I have a male bichon frise that has had gastric problems most of his adult life. He takes Metoclopram and Tylan 30 minutes before eating. He had the problem of throwing up some sort of yellow frothy stuff. It took a long time to get him regulated and now that he is regulated it will be for the rest of his life that he has to take this medicine. I always had trouble with this dog eating his Iams. I think he had a slight allergy to it. I have recently changed to the Senior Nutro dry food. It has Glucosamine and Chrondroitin in it. It appears to have helped his appetite. He actually eats it and likes it. My question: Will he really have to take that medicine the rest of his life? I was hoping that since I have had such good luck with this food that maybe he can do without his medicine now?
Thank You
My 9 year old mixed breed dog has a hot spot on his rear paw. My 1 1/2 yr old sheltie has been suffering with paw allergies since May. He has been taking prednisone and benedryl on alternating days for a long time. Now the vet thinks it may be food allergies.He started eating special food-venison and potato last week, with no treats. He is now taking vetalog, rather than predisone. I want to see him off all meds and get some relief from the allergies. Any recommendations?
Thank You

My 4 y.o. Eskimo Spitz has heartworms. She has had the 1st of 3 injections and is scheduled for the next one in 2 days. I have heard that treatment with walnut hull and woodworm can effectively kill heartworms without having to keep my dog calm and with much less risk. Is this true? Also would you advise that I try this natural treatment even though she has started the chemical treatment from her vet 1 month ago?
Thank You

Hi, my dog was recently hit by a car and has been lame on the back side since the impact. Today the vet said that her back is broken and wanted to put the dog down. However, she is able to pull herself around, go to the bathroom and adapt without the use of her hind legs. I am looking for any alternatives available – dog cart/wheelchair, advice from other experienced pet owners or vets – is there any way to not put her down and let her live with a broken back? PLEASE help -thank you
My 1 year old german shepherd is suffering from severe seizures. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is on medication. I have also been in touch with the breeder who recommended some homepathic remedies to help and urged me to find a homeopathic vet in my area. So far I have had no luck with that but I am still looking. His seizures began after he got vaccinated and started heartworm medication. Any connection?
I’d like to wean him off his medication if possible. Please help. Thank You
Question: My 10 lb. Lowchen has a open wound on the top of her back from scratching. Do you have suggestions on what I can do to help it heal?
I cleaned it then put bacitracin on it but then I have to cover it because she keeps scratching. I would like to leave the wound open so air can get on it. I think it was from a flea bite. We live in Hawaii and this is the 1st time its happened and she is 1 yr old.
Thank You
