Hopefully the change in med dose will help Kira. And, a day at the spa always lifts a girl's spirits ....looking forward to the pics.

Probiotics would be helpful--they'll help shield him from the diarrhea that can result when the antibiotics unbalance the organisms in his intestine. Ask the vet whether you can give the meds with meals, too--that helps buffer the tummy. Sounds like some heavy duty meds What's going on with poor Beau? Hope he's better soon!

Mollie weighs 24 lbs and he started her on 30 mg once a day, she can smell the pill in the pill pocket (its huge) and she nibbles around it. I've had to coat it with butter and shove it down her twice, which I hate doing. Shes on pain pills and antibiotics, hopefully when they're done she won't be so suspicious of the pill pockets

Kira just became very lethargic and was stumbling a bit going up/down stairs. One back leg seemed to be weaker. She stopped eating and couldn't poop - so we took her off the meds and bumped up the cortisone level with another med 'cause we think she was going through cortisone withdrawal. Then the diarrhea started. I spoke to the vet Monday and instead of giving her the 50 mg pills, she ordered in 10 mg pills 'cause it's a...

Thanks both! LOL, yep, Shadow definitely rules the household! She often swats at the dogs just for fun (and she has claws, so the dogs know to watch out). She especially picks on Wall-e for some reason, I guess because he's the newcomer! I'm so glad I still have her -- she's 15 years old, and still healthy and happy.

Ya I guess I was just gung-ho on doing the best for her, to kind of give her quality of life but I think I will just go back to a 3 star food. she did just fine. She is not a picky eater (my any means LOL) so she will really eat any kibble i put in front of her. I will definately monitor her drinking/urinating. Its snowing here now so I can definately tell when theres colour to her urine. I reallly think the protein was just a bit too much for...

I am new to this forum. I own two minature Schnauzers that I adore. Over the last year both of them have developed Struvite Bladder stones. Luckily they were struvite stones that can be disolved with a special food available only from the vet, as far as I know. It has taken almost six months to disolve the stones accompanied by regular visits to the vet for urine test and xrays to monitor this condition, not to mention the extraordinarily high...

I am sorry to hear this. I can only tell you of my personal experience. My rott had the same problem. After testing and seeing the obvious, a tumour grew rapidly on the brain. He had a stroke and one side of his face slid. Eventually the whole side of his body as well paralyzed and he succomed to the cancer and the paralysis. I hope this is not your case, but ask them to check for a tumour. Best of luck to you.

Hi. I have an itchy terrier also. Seems to run in some of these guys. I have found the humidifier helps. My dog sleeps in our bedroom, so I run the humidifier in this room. It helps my skin and lets me sleep more comfortably as well. I also use a fish oil pill in her food. A humidifier is definitely something that won't hurt. Good luck.
