you can use baby aspirin- 1 or 2 depending on her size. i dont like to use tylenol in dogs as it is kind of hard on the liver. dont use ibuprofen. just for fun, ask your vet to give her an injection of Banamine (large animal pain and fever reducer). I use it all the time in small animals and it work...

if its kennel cough they have picked up either a virus or a pretty contagious bacteria. MOST of the time the cough will clear as the antibiotics clear the bacteria. if its a virus, you just have to wait for the body to clear it. I usually give either prednisone syrup for the cough (takes away the in...

they are more often a problem in lap dogs, but ui have seen it in some big dogs as well. if they get to be a recurring problem, they can be removed surgically. as with any surgery, there are risks, the main one being incontinence, but I havent had that happen in any of the ones I have done. if your ...

if you feel like you could give an injection you could get the injectable form from your vet. more expensive probably, but he cant vomit it up. if your vet has any large animal baytril, it is less expensive than the small animal stuff. 1 cc per 50 lbs, under the skin, but make sure you dilute it wit...

the hematome needs to be lanced and drained, and the skin is then stitched in such a way to keep the incision open so it will continue to drain. then you need to get something to fix the ear infection that is usually the cause of the swelling of the inner ear tissue and head shaling that causes the ...

if this is something that has cropped up since the spay, then I would wonder about the "spay incontinenece". if she has done this ever since she was a pup, then the most comon reason would be an ectopic ureter. this can be corrected with surgery in most cases, I believe. i usually use phenylpropanal...

the ear infection could cause that if it was an internal ear infection. Usually these will be a result of an external ear infection that is severe enough to rupture the eardrum and then infect the inner ear. HOWEVER, usually I see a head tilt to the side of the infected ear and/or some circling to t...

Guys, (and gals), please, please dont let your young dogs ride in the back of the pick-up unless they are securely tethered (or in a carrier!)!
