You might wait to see the regular vet. Dry eye sucks but it's not an emergency and you might save some $$ if thats important to you. The drops will help. Could be an eye infection also, or allergies like you suspected. Either way the doctor will probably give baby some medicated eye drops as...
How about adoption? I'm not sure where you are but here in Miami there are dozens of bullies, young and old, looking for homes. There is a lot to be said for adopting an older dog; they are usually potty trained, know basic commands, and the annoying chew-on-everything puppy mode is out the...
If only they had a little laughing gas like we get when we get our teeth cleaned!!! I dito leaving the dog with the groomer. I think it makes them a little more submissive. If not then lots of treats, baby talk, reassurance and just take it one nail at a time.
It works on the theory of suffocating them. Mineral oil is a byproduct of petrolum production so who knows if there is a chemical substance in it that may kill them. Seems like if MO would suffocate them that any other (perhaps healthier) oil would too. The medicinal drops from the vet aren't...
I recently purchased a large capacity water bottle drinking system for our dog Slim. Its just a large version of the ones you see in small animal cages like hamsters or something similar.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with these.
Slim makes an awful mess when drinking and not...
No word on our lost weenie :( We raised him from only a week or so old when his mama turned him out at the runt. He just couldn't compete. I was pregnant at the time and used it as preparation, stimulating him to pee, cleaning him, nursing him (HE USED TO SUCK ON M LITTLE FINGER AS HE FELL...
Homeopathics on the other hand can be extremely beneficial for our pets AND they are completely non-toxic due to their minute dosages (based on the theory of this branch of medicine). You can purcahse a homeopathic kit of remedies specifically for your pets!
NOW brand essential oils, Young...
Just my 2cents, I am a midwife and a novice herbalist. I use a lot of essential oils in my practice. The one thing I would like to say is that Lavender is a relatively safe oil, but we should all take GREAT CAUTION with our pets and our uses of herbs and essential oils. Cats for instance can...
I don't know. Dogs are a different species, their bacteria-flora, are very different from our own. Probiotics made for humans are not the same bacterial probiotics made for canines or other species. I'd suggest purchasing a probiotic blend made specifically for dogs. Most high quality probiotics...
To the OP, ivermectin is the name of the medication, the name on the bottle is just the brand name, thats all. Also, the hair loss is completely normal progression of this type of mange. It often recurrs and needs continued treatment until he has several negative skin scrapings. Colloidal silver...
Seems like a good enough place to discuss this. My adopted bully, SLIM is recovering from demodex also. His last 2 scrapings were negative and his hair is all regrown but his white areas like his chin, jowels, chest and feet look red and he has puss filled lesions on his back and other areas...
He was on Purina One at the shelter. We have him mostly transitioned to Natures Domain, supposedly comporable to Taste of the Wild, another highly recommended food. It has everything good that I was looking for EXCEPT that it does have potatoes at one of the top 5 ingredients. I'm trying to do a...
Been doing a little more research and I'm thinking that with all of his immune issues and his poor diet and antibiotic treatments that he may have some yeast issues that account for the reddness of his feet. I'm taking him to the vet this week and he is on his new diet so hopefully that will...
