My dog, Sadie, (they say she's a Heeler/Corgi mix. but I'm not sure.) has a pretty bad skin irritation. We've bathed her with medicated shampoo, taken her to...
If a dog is still scratching despite cortisone on board then there ought to be more than allergy going on.. unless you meant that she's fine on cortisone but...
My thoughts are mites (mange) which is very curable but not by scrubbing... And/or food allergies. Which is a common thing nowadays. False negative tests for...
no. 1 differential for irritation despite steroids is mange, second is skin yeast infection: scrapings and tape lifts are the primary diagnostic tools here. ...
Hi, I have an 11 yr. old male German Shepherd just diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency a couple of days ago. Though the treatments using porcine...
several point: to get a primary diagnosis of EPI at 11yrs old is unusual.. it can only be secondary to recurrent low grade pancreatitis episodes and therefore ...
Cortisone won't touch mites (mange). Has your dog been treated for mange? If our doc thinks it is safe, the treatment for mange is cheaper than the tests (or...
I'm sorry for the mix-up, I'm a little overwhelmed. My Shepherd is ll MONTHS old, not 11 years old, though I don't know if this will change your answer to my...
..apologies if I mixed up the age.. ..11 mths makes more sense ..Typlase is also used UK for people. a google search for typlase usa only gave this URL ...
Molly had bladder surgery on June 12,03 to remove large bladder stones. She came through the surgery fine although she had a temp after surgery and some...

Rimadyl dose USA was (maybe still is) double the UK recommended dose. there have been some reports of sudden death USA primarily in Labrador breeds as far as I...
Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that a sick dog can die. It is like blaming prozac for depression. Or aspirin for a broken bone. Since it was all...
... Jeez, I rather doubt that any vet in the entire US does *that*. (Of course, I'm just dealing with cats; maybe they're more cautious with dogs.) ... An...
Paranoid is my middle name. Can't believe I let a cat go a whole month without really checking him out. He was among many rescues, getting neutered that one...
ok-my dog has had bad itchy problems in the past-i found that cool water baths with melalucca shampoo helps alot. the vets usually check for mange and mites,...
Thank you Sue, I am sorry for the loss of your cat. I however think differently. My calls that I made that Sunday went through the animal hospital where she...
Thank you Peter; if only my vet had been as "paranoid" as you I wouldn't be discussing this and trying to find answers when no one else will. I had complete...
..without Post Mortem results you cannot be sure that the rimadyl was to blame. Indeed if doses were sensible and this wasn't a labrador then the odds are it...
..we don't routinely check cats post op either.. the surgery there (done flank UK) is rarely a problem.. but they do go home with postop instruction sheets. ...
Hallo candymom, you wrote that Molly non-urinated since June 14, early in the morning, and started 3 hours later with vomitus. In my opinion its a classic...

It is tragic and it could even be both.... I never knew Labs were at a higher risk for complications from rimadyl. It seems like pet owners should read all the...
Hi everyone! I recently adopted a 9 month old male domestic medium haired cat. He's the sweetest thing, very loving, very social, VERY active. Just a few...
faeces covered with mucus is consistent with colitis and anal inflammation is consistent with straining (also common in colitis). Causes of colitis include...
Curious about what he is eating... her... Sounds like he is irritated. I have a cat that is allergic to corn and corn is in a lot of cat food. I am just...
We have a friend who has had Feline Herpes in some of her cats and several of us have been trying to find the answers to some questions about this, but we are...
All I know is that 1 of my cats has it and we gave him "acyclovir" a few times (cat dose) and no other of my 11 cats has shown signs of it. So I'm pleased. but...
If ya think about this rationally then it's a grey area where we have all been in the sloppy habits of using less than scientific definitions..If you can...
