My dog has suddenly developed hives Hello. My dog has developed sudden onset of hives-now being treated with prednisone (3 weeks so far) and special diet. Is there a homeopathic that could be substituted? I don't like using steroids. Thanks View this blog Need help for cat with CRF I have a 13 year old cat that was recently diagnosed with mild renal insufficiency. She was put on Hill K/D dry food. I originally had her on Eaglepack Holistic food. The only wet food she will eat is the Fancy feast canned food. And I was told that is not good for her since she has CRF. I eralize that the sodium and phosphorous content in the Hills food is low becasue of the CRF, but the phosphorous content in the Eaglepack food is only 0.9 % compared with Hills which is 0.3% Is that a big significance? Plus she throws up in a while on the Hills food, but NEVER on the Eagle Pack food!! Any comments?? Thanks, Steve View this blog Is there a natural way to treat mange in dogs?

My sister in California recommended your site to find a chiropractor who treats animals. I've already used you to find a great vet for my dogs, but I forgot that you have chiropractors too. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks. You're becoming a habit.

Your directory is great. I only have one complaint and that's many of the listings don't have enough information.
