My family has a carin terrier and she has had a consistent problem over the years. When winter comes around, she goes through an itching phase on her whole back, due to dry skin, that does last until it warms up. Sweet dog and she always begs to be scratched, but it’s not enjoyable if she hasn’t been groomed. Any medicine out there some may know about to eliminate this? Or a technique the vet may not have mentioned?

We’ve tried a few things but sometimes we’ll give her bendryl to calm her down.

I think I might be allergic to my daughter’s new puppy. My skin itches in random places at random times or if I hold her, then my arm and wrist itch, or if she plays at my feet and jumps on my legs, then my legs and feet itch, or if I snuggle her under my chin, then my chin itches. I can’t bear the thought of not handling her, she’s too cute. I also can’t bear the thought of giving her away ’cause we’ve all fallen in love with her. She’s already a big part of the family. I do not take medications on a daily basis and don’t want to start. I only take the occasional headache medicine. I used to be allergic to cats when I was younger and I got over that ’cause now I have three indoor-only cats. I wonder if it’s possible that I might just get over this puppy allergy, too. Any ideas?

I had a question about the things in my dog’s ears a little bit ago. My dog is an American Eskimo/Siberian Husky mix, and an engorged tick fell out of his ears.

What should I do about it? He’s my family’s first dog, and my parents already don’t like him. @_@ Is there specific medicine I can buy?

lmind asked:


The monthly flea & tick medicine is a common kind, prescribed by the vet, that comes as a liquid in something resembling an eyedropper that you put on the dog’s skin, between the shoulder blades. It’s supposed to absorb into the skin and protect from fleas and ticks. I’m worried that if I give her a bath, it will wash the medicine out of her skin. After applying the medicine, how long should I wait before giving her a bath?

Thanks!

My Sheltie is 16 yrs old and she is all I have left now that the kids have grown and moved away. She has started to have seizures, only a minute or two but I feel sorry for her and I love her dearly but when and where do you draw the line on vet bills just to diagnose her problem. Then medicine to try and help her for a month or maybe a year. I am lost on what to do as I am on a fixed income and I don’t know where to draw the line. I don’t know what I will do without her as she is all the family that I have left.

I have three dogs. Two of my dogs are newer to the family and haven’t had they’re shots. But today when I went to see them in their house I noticed that one of them was throwing up and both of them weren’t eating when I fed them. I noticed when I looked in Sampson’s throw up they’re was a white worm. I wanted to know what was the worm. And if stress causes the worms to effect they’re system more. I gave them heart worm medicine a few months ago but they’re not eating and looking kind of skinny. I just love my dogs a lot and need to know what to do.

I have a 6 month old small breed puppy, I’m wondering what age is appropriate to start heartworm medicine, and what brands are preferred.
Thanks! I wish my vet had told me about that. I’m going to call right now and make an appointment.

We’ ve recently torn down our old fence and replaced it with a new redwood fence. Several days ago, our male dog began “coughing”, which sounded like he was trying to cough up a furball. Doing research tonight on the internet, it appears that this could be kennel cough caused by excess dust. My husband and I read that along with antibiotics, they often give cough medicine. Does anyone know the type? Is it in liquid or pill form?
