I’ve read on a couple of websites about giving cranberry tablets to dogs for urinary tract infections.
None of them say what strength of tablets to use.
My dog weighs about 21 pounds. Can someone tell me how much to give?

How do you determine dog’s dietary needs?
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I believe every dog has different dietary needs, so how do you determine which is the right food to feed a dog?
I’ve done a bit of trial and error on my own, but thought one of you may have guidelines on the subject. For example I have a book Eat Right Four Your Type – that states different blood type people require different diets.
Thanks, Vikki

My dog lost hair during a nutritional trauma. Need help
Sunday, November 15th, 2009Our 10 year old bouvier had surgery in late September to have a couple decayed teeth removed, a general teeth cleaning and two small lumps in her hind quarter removed (biopsy indicated they were calcified fat tissue). Post surgery she was fed soft food until her gums healed (canned food).
After 14 days I tried to get her back on her dried food and began by mixing it with soft (canned), but she ate very little and then after another week chose not to eat dog food at all.
During the offering of soft food and the reintroduction of dried food, I noticed that she would vomit a few hours after consumption.
After those few weeks of trying to find something she would eat and significant weight loss (20 lbs since surgery) she began to lose hair particularly on her elbows and no new growth was happening in the site of the surgery. I began to make her home made dog food, combo of boiled chicken, rice, oatmeal, carrots, broccoli of which she willingly ate and no experienced no vomiting after eating. She has been on this diet for about 6 weeks now and she has gained back some weight but the hair loss has progressed with patchiness on her sides.
She is easily stressed and she has been very needy since the surgery (wants to be with me all the time, follows me around the house).
I should mention that we have another dog in the home and she has a great coat and appetite.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

9-1/2 year old Bischon who has problems with crystals in her urine
Thursday, June 25th, 2009I have a 9-1/2 year old Bischon who has problems with crystals in her urine.
She recently had a bladder x-ray and, thankfully, no stones. She is on Hills U/D and gets 500 mg of Vit. C twice a day. She goes several months with no bleeding. Then it starts up again and she has blood in her urine and the Vet puts her on Clavamox for 2 or 3 weeks.
I would love to find a permanent relief for them.
