Spider bites?????Q: 4times now my dog lab goes out and comes in itchy crazy , face gets bumps , doc said spider bite gave him 2 injections , what can i do at home seems this is going to be a reg occurance, already give him benadryl pills seems to help some, but not good enough A: Try some flower essences also from health food store in addition to benadryl which can also help with allergies. ask for crabapple, rescue remedy and agrimony which you can put a few drops on his gums before he goes out. no side effects and may do trick in natural way
Skin problemsQ: I have 2 cats. one has problems with her skin like scabs and pulling her hair out. when you try to touch her she goes nuts and starts moving her head all around while her tounge goes in and out of her mouth and eventually she will bite you. my other cat has started to develope scabs now too and she sneezes alot too. what can i do except take them to the vet for a cortazone shot. sorry about my spelling. A: You can try oral antihistamine like chlorphenirimine at dose of 2 mg twice daily. also supplement her with derm caps and prozyme to each meal which can help skin when used long term. can get these from 1800petmeds Shop for: antihistamine, prozyme, 1800petmeds
Dog eats fecesQ: Is there a long term solution to this problem? we have given deter in high dosage to both our dogs to stop one of them from eating feces. this 7 yr golden does stop but then restarts when we lower the dosage or run out of the pills. although it is only cosmetic, it is hard to get friends/family to not mind getting licked by a dog that eats feces in plain view. surely there must be some remedy to kick this habit long term. A: Nothing really proven to definitively get rid of it. i would make sure she is on good natural diet like pet guard or california natural by natura brand as well as good supplements like missing link from designing health as well as prozyme available from 1800petmeds Shop for: prozyme, 1800petmeds
Female dogQ: My female dog thatwas fixed wehn she was young and is now 12 years old all of a sudden started leaking while laying down and leaving wet spots and sometimes a big big wet spot not even knowing it. i saw her lay down and in minutes there was a big wet spot. i took her to the vet and she said sometimes it happens early in there life or later. she gave me phenylpropanolamine and said to give it to her every 12 hours. she said if this worked she wouldn't have to come back for blood work ect. seems to be doing the trick so far and she said if it does she would have to take it the rest of her life. is this true that she has to stay on it or can i take her off of it after the pills are finished? thank you so much for you time. a concerned pet owner A: In most cases, pets that are placed on phenylpropanolamine therapy for urinary leakage will need to be on this medication for life.
