its not really that common.

Also to add, my vet does not take any forms of payment whatsoever. I explained my situation and my huge concern for my puppy, but they would not budge and refused to take anything other than full payment at the time of the service. Time for a new Vet :!: . Are you serious? Would you go to work and ...

Try this - Give the proin in twice a day until you see results, then stop giving it and count the days until you see the dog leaking again. If she leaks again on day 4, then you need to give proin every 3 days. If she leaks again on day 3, then you need to give it every other day. Sometimes I think ...

if he is up to date on rabies vax, them I wouldn't see a need for a booster. BUT, its not going to hurt anyhitng either.

dog dr

Actually, what ezzy told you is the best advice you could ever get in regards to a dog health question. Especially with something as serious as a grass awn, which is what you said you were worried about. All the dog experience in the world is rarely a substitute for a trained professional being able...

should be able to see tape worms in the stool, but the other kinds of worms would require a fecal float.

dog dr

I usually grab them by the scruff, turn them over on their back with my hand on their chest/neck, and hold them there until they give up the fight. like somebody already said, they have to know that YOU are the boss.

in that case, that definitely will be your last post on the topic!

sorry ezzy, I couldn't resist. Probably gonna have to lock this one. I apologize for opening such a can of worms.

Maybe someone on Pinterest can give you guys the answer you're wanting to hear. Crossbreed all the shitzus and frenchfried bulldogs you want. I have my opinions you have yours.

Blah blah blah, breeding a "bleep" eater to a poodle so it doesn't shed is not developing a new breed it's selling house dogs to apartment dwellers or the like. Im really getting a kick out of this! Your right, its not creating a new breed. And that's not what we're trying to do. As I said before, ...

Do you get much discussion on the three year protocol? No. I will offer the option of 1yr vs 3 yr vaccine, and answer any questions people might have, but the majority choose to stick with the 1 yr. Honestly, im afraid its because a lot of my clients are living paycjeck to paycheck, and even though...

dog dr

I wasnt talking about vaccinations either. They get exposed to parvo almost anywhere other dogs have been. The virus is shed in the feces, so anywhere you'd find dog feces, you may find parvo virus. We get blamed occasionally when a pup comes down with parvo after it was in the clinic for something ...

Exactly!

Hey Doc, find the hunting stud you want, ask about doing a breeding, then show up with your dog :) might just get it done that way. or explain what you are looking for. Not just a couch potato but a working mix dog. Good luck to you thanks, I appreciate that. Fortunately, we found a female out of a...

dog dr

did they culture the urine?? any x-rays?? im not saying they are wrong, but the odds would be much higher that the dog has a severe bladder infection or bladder stones than a tumor. Could be a prostate infection as well. Hoping they did some other diagnostics besides just the ultrasound.

dog dr

b THIS is why the poodle breeders sell dogs on limited registration and I can't say that I blame them. Not that it necessarily prevents breeding for these cross-bred dogs since no respectable registry "registers" them anyhow. And yes there definitely are hunting line poodles; it's not all that uncom...

dog dr

My wife raises golden rtrievers, and has had a lot of potential clients express an interest in a goldendoodle. Wouldnt have to be a hunting line poodle, i just feel like the dogs from a "hunting" line are a little more attentive/intelligent, and make better dogs. So you're looking to get a poodle t...

dog dr

Biggest problem im running into is the whole "limited registration" thing. And all these breeders have 3 pages of "puppy applications", with all kinds of crazy rules you have to follow after you by the dog. Sheesh, do you want to sell me a dog or dont you?!

dog dr

I'm just curious as to what you'll be hunting with a poodle. Ducks? I know they are good retrievers but that's about all I know of the breed. I thought you had meant pudel pointer and mistyped. My wife raises golden rtrievers, and has had a lot of potential clients express an interest in a goldendo...

dog dr

Im looking for a hunting standard poodle breeder, preferably in the midwest. Suggestions?

dog dr

electric fence. and a game camera.

dog dr

any other signs/symptoms?? the dog is fine other than the swollen testicles and discolored lips? Fever? eating and drinking? did the vet do any bloodwork? The try to scare the bejesus out of you about prednisone in vet school, but 20 mg every other day would be just an anti-inflammatory dose, and sh...

dog dr

Montana, do a search on this forum 'big lump on her side'. It is about a Brittany who suffered the consequences of a grass awn infection. You could also google 'mean seeds' and print it to show your vet. It made a big impression on our vet when we were worried about a nocardia infection on one of o...

dog dr

no, you don't need to give a booster later.

dog dr

im not a human dr by any means, but i cant imagine 2 pills would be enough to do anything. On dogs i do doxy 5mg/lb 2x a day, or amoxi 10mg/lb 2x a day, treat for a month. I know at least 2 people that had to insist that their dr test them for lyme disease; doesnt seem like they think its a big deal...

dog dr

hope its not blasto. good luck

dog dr

Thanks everyone for the info. My script was 150.00 and ER fee plus tests got me up to 450. My older GSP came up really lame overnight on both back legs. We thought it was a herniated disc. I live in a high lyme area. I was hoping to catch this lyme disease before it gets to this point. My idea is t...

dog dr

wont work. i do think you can use Amoxicillin though.

find a vet with a therapy laser that knows how to use it. it will help.

My beautiful wife gave me a m&p shield 9mm for Christmas. So far I love it!

Sorry, I totally missed the evaluation by Ohio state! Your in good hands.

tdbmd wrote:That was/is a concern of mine, in that does she need further evaluation of the ligaments. If so, I suppose there are canine orthopedic specialists?

yes. your nearest vet school would be the easiest place to find one.

dog dr

90 degrees to normal?? if that is true, and there were no fractures, then there would almost certainly be torn ligaments. Torn ligaments RARELY (if ever) heal on their own without surgery. Hope im wrong and she heals up fine. I like Steadfast as a joint supplement.

BEAUTIFUL picture!

dog dr

Thank you Shags, good info I will heed. It seems to me she has rather small in diameter stools for a dog her size, similar in size to cat scat, and it also seems like she does struggle a bit in passing them. To me that says either a space occupying mass that is making the colon/rectum smaller, or s...

dog dr

Spaying can cause issues with urinary incontinence, but I have never heard it causing a problem with fecal incontinence. The nerves and muscles that are associated with the rectum shouldn't be involved in a spay procedure at all. Nothing wrong with getting a second opinion; however I would let your ...

The Ruger LCP 380, keltec 380, smith and wesson bodyguard in 380 are also good pocket guns if you want something that small.

dog dr

biggest mistake I see most people make when working on getting a puppy to come in to you is they tend to want to catch them and leash them up right away. Practice (check cord work) calling them to you and immediately allowing them to run free again. A bit of a pat on the head, piece of a treat, lot...

dog dr, would you say a tail vertebrae would be about an inch or so long in a GSP?

on average, yes, or maybe smaller. they get smaller as you move away from the body.

dog dr

with an older dog you have to make the cut between the bones of the tail. So, it may not be possible to cut it exactly where you want. But, yes it can be done with little to no problems.

Gastric reflux?? how often does she eat? if just once or twice a day you might try giving her a small treat just before bed so she has something on her stomach throughout the night, or you could give her a tagament twice a day to cut some acid. give me a call, be glad to talk with you about it.
