At the moment, his panting has stopped and he is sleeping. I am going to call the Vet at 9AM to see if there is any availability today (I doubt it, since they are only open until 12Noon). But I will try and get him in there on Monday morning......

My EB has been up panting heavily for 2 nights. I have no idea what's going on, but I don't like the sound of this at all. I do give him Rimadyl for pain, so perhaps he has a bad infection going on. I don't know. His heavy breathing is troubling and I may have to call the VET.

Yes, I'm sure his immune system is weakened especially with taking Apoquel for so long. In addition I think Air Conditioning is a culprit as well since Maximus loves to sit over the vents and have the AC blow in his face. Go figure! He is my sweet "Kissy Boy" and I love him dearly, I just want...

He just saw his Dermatologist. He sees his Vet on Saturday, so he can listen to Max's heart and lungs. The cough has subsided some but I am still concerned. He is on Apoquel. The wounds on his (R) paw are slowly healing with the Chloramphenicol, but Max does continue to lick the paw. It is a...

My EB has a Runny nose and Cough. I give him Claritin daily but it does not appear to be working. He is going to the Vet on Saturday, so that the Vet can listen to his heart and lungs and get schedule a chest X-ray. I just can't seem to control his Runny nose. What does everyone else do when...

UPDATE::: Well, I got an Email from the Vet Dermatologist telling me that the Culture came back, as MRSS - Methicillin resistant Staph, and E. Coli. He is prescribing Chloramphenicol 3x daily.

Maximus was on Probiotics, but then I ran out, and never replaced them. So, I do have to order them again. He saw his Vet yesterday for a quite observation-exam .... She said his paws need alot of care ... as in between the toes are beet red, so I have to use Neo-Predef powder. Plus the paw pads...

Thank You, Carol - it is very kind of you to be thinking of Maximus. Well, today he goes to see his regular Veterinarian since she has not seen him in awhile (due to an accident she had that caused her to be out for 6-months), and then he sees his Dermatologist Vet on July 17th. Hopefully then...

There really is no hair on the Hotspots, but they are not healing despite the sprays and antibiotics - I think the Dermatologist will end up aspirating it and maybe changing his antibiotics. The Apoquel of course is lowering his Immune response. He's on new food - Brother's Complete Advanced...

It's very raised - like it is full of pus or something - He continues to lick it. The Vet Dermatologist saw the PIC of it - said I am doing the right things using Chlorhexidine and Vetericyn - thank goodness he is on the Clindamycin. The Dermatologist sees him on the 17th. I'm afraid to shave...

My EB 'Maximus' has, for the 2nd time, a front Paw infection. This is the (R) Paw. Previously he had the same type of infection on his front (L) paw. He is currently on Clindamycin 2x per day. I have changed his food from FROMM Weight Management, to BROTHERS COMPLETE Advanced Allergy formula. I...

Yes, Maximus does infact have Allergies, he has also had Entropion surgery, he has been on Tacrolimus, and Yes, he does have dry eye. He has been to a Vet Opthalmologist a few times. He is also on Apoquel for his Allergies, and Ketoconazole, the Anti-fungal. I give him Benadryl daily as well. He...

Every day it seems my EBs Eyes are filled with what I can only describe as "Gloop". Large masses of white Glop that totally cover his eye. I have never seen a dog have this type of mess in his eyes every day, upon waking in the morning, and anytime after a Nap. I have to Rinse them out with...

Where can you buy Dakatrin Cream to use on Interdigital cysts?

My EB, Maximus, has been licking his front paws. Today I looked at his front (L) Paw and was shocked at what I saw. The paw was swollen, had been bleeding and just looked horrible. There was dried blood on the paw, and initially just looked like a bad Hot Spot. In any event, I had to clean the...
