Is microchipping safe?
Published (2009-11-28 09:46:00)
I keep coming across articles that say that dogs who are microchipped have a greater risk of developing cancer. Are there other health risks associated with it too? I am planning a long road trip with my dogs and was thinking about getting them chipped. Plus, there have been a lot of dogs stolen in our area that end up on Craig's list so someone can make a few bucks. These are crazy times we live in.

We use the Home Again chips and haven't had any problems with them. As far as I know, they are safe. We have see issues from other brands - one dog actually "lost" theirs - we went to scan him and it wasn't there so then we took a full body x-ray (in different views) and it was GONE! Supposedly, other types can migrate out of the body.

Lucy scratches and seems to have...
Published (2009-11-27 18:57:00)
I brought Lucy to the vet today.? Her rash just seemed to be getting worse, and I didn't want her in any type of pain, or anything.? So, the vet asked me to just bring her in. They have her on another antibiotic, for the rash.? They told me to keep giving her the anxiety meds, so to hopefully keep her under control with that, with us moving everything around in the house, and with the baby coming soon.? I don't want to stress her...

Puppy was just spayed...?'s
Published (2009-11-26 10:08:00)
We opted to get our almost 6month old puggle spayed at a low cost clinic instead of our vet who was planning on charging an arm and a leg.? The clinic had been referred to me by two people and spay USA so I trust them.? However, I am curious about their recovery orders for Ellie.? They told me to keep her kenneled for 10 days then minimal activity until the sutures come out Dec 16.? That's 21 days from now!? From what I have read online...

Welcome to the board. Right now is the time for seasonal allergies... Here are a few things to try: 1. Make sure she is on flea control if you have fleas in your area. Here in the Northeast, flea control YEAR ROUND is a must for dogs with chronic allergies. 2. Give her omega 3 fatty acids daily. These have natural anti-inflammatory properties in them to help skin and coat. 3. If she ...

We generally tell owners rest for a few days, leash walks only for about 5 days. We don't use external sutures anymore but when we did, they would come out in 7-10 post-surgery. I think keeping her cooped up for 21 days is a bit extreme.

Welcome to the board. Dogs can pick up on our emotions very easily. I'd say she is having some anxiety when football is on, it's pretty intense and chihuahuas tend to be nervous dogs at the drop of a hat. If possible, I would try to separate her when football is on for the duration of the game and see if that helps. There are anxiety meds that can be given but I would use that only as a ...

We do what is called a "total body-function" in pre-surgery bloodwork. It tests everything under the sun. Reasons for us not to put an animal under anesthesia would be elevated liver and kidney enzymes and severe anemia. I do the dentals at my hospital and I tend to keep them on the "light" side unless extractions are necessary - this way they wake up really quick. At 7 years of age, that ...

We do offer titers but they are kind of pricey for some people. The way the vaccine protocols are set up now the vaccines are pretty spaced out as it is and we just revised ours even more since my Dr. is on the holistic side - here is what we do: Da2lpp (no lepto for Dachshunds) - every 3 years (in puppies, they get their series of 3 and then the third one is good for 3 years) Rabies - ...

I recommend taking him in to be checked by your vet - including bloodwork. There is nothing specific that is jumping out at me with his symptoms so it's best to have bloodwork done to rule out anything internal. Good luck!

Welcome to the board. The best things that you can do for a dog with her issues is to 1. keep her weight on the lower side so that joint impact is minimized and 2. keep her on the glucosamine/chondroiten supplement. The foods that have glucosamine in them generally do not have enough to be therapeutic, they are more for marketing purposes than anything. Another thing you can add is omega 3 ...
