My dog snacks on it whenever he can find it. I’m not really sure why though. He eats Innova dog food. Could it have something to do with cold weather?
Thank you,

My 5 1/2 month old toy poodle has diarrhea (it has mild, almost no blood in it) and she is throwing up. She was fine this morning then she started vomiting a faded mustard like substance. We just got her and she does not have her shots yet. She doesn’t seem sick at all, she still seems very eccentric as always. My grandma gave her something to eat and soon after that she threw it up. Please help! — Eli
Hi, I just read your post on fleas and I wanted to tell you my story and hope you might offer some help.
I have a 10 y/old Chihuahua that’s constantly scratching. I’ve tried giving her a bath every 2 – 3 weeks but that hasn’t helped. She doesn’t have fleas and I haven’t seen anything else on her. Sometimes she scratches till she is almost bleeding.
Could this simply be dry skin?
What else can I do to help her stop scratching?
Please help. She’s miserable.
Thank you,
Diana
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
We have a soft-coated wheaten terrier. About every three to four months she stops eating. Our veterinarian has done an endoscopy, blood tests, and no real diagnosis. Endoscopy showed indentations in the stomach lining (I guess like little ulcers) and x-rays indicated a cloudy look for her stomach. Only two anitibiotics, carafate, and pepcid AC seem to get her over each episode.
I am wondering if Acidopholis would be of any help? She weighs about 25-28 lbs. If it would, what dosage?
Would human probiotics be good for her, if so, what amounts?
Thank You for any help you can give.
My Westhighland Terrier, 6 in September, has since day one food allergies that include proteins, wheat, flour, pretty much everything. She has had major intestinal upsets for the last 2 weeks but they were under control in combination w/a homemade diet consisting of vitamin supplements, cottage cheese, pumpkin, and brown rice along w/ veterinarian prescribed drugs being Clidinium/CDP 1 every other day or as needed, Lixotonic 1/2 ml orally once daily and Farnotidine that only had to be used once every week and 1/2 have now everyday . It is the only way she will eat because otherwise she is in severe pain. I can hear her stomach and feel it hard and bloated as well. My vet has run out of answers and obviously was able to give only a temporary fix to this long-time problem. My dog, when not plagued with this pain is happy and otherwise healthy. I need another alternative to safe guard and assure my dog a happy and pain free existence if at all possible. Do you have any suggestions. I would appreciate more than words could say!!
Thank You
