Torn nailQ: What do i do if my dog always manages to tear or crack on of her nails . it is usually her back paws. this is the second time she has done this. what can i do to stop this. and is there any thing that i can do for her for any pain she might have? thank you. A: For pain you can try buffered aspirin at 5 mg per pound once to twice daily with food but not tylenol. if she tears her nails they usually need to be clipped at point of split in the nails

Cushings diseaseQ: My dog patch has just been tested for cushings, his tests revealed an 19.5. my vet said she would not treat unless that level was 20. i would like to know if there was anything i could get over the counter to give him some pep or to help with his panting. he was a rescue that we have had for four years and we think he is about six or seven years old. he weighs 75 lbs. thanks, in advance for your help. A: Dogs can pant for lots of reasons from being heat intolorant(as this is way they sweat) to pain, to many others. have to address underyling cause of panting to make suggestion.
AccidentsQ: My 6yo pom/spitz mix has been peeing in the house quite frequently. i took her to the vet and she did not have an infection although they gave her 2wks of antbx. we were told it could be because she has not been spayed. is that a possiblilty? A: It is possibly hormonal but i would try and see if any bladder stones present by taking x rays. also is your dog leaking urine or incontinent? i.e leaking in sleep. if so, spaying can worsen that problem
FrontlineQ: Would you please tell me the difference between frontline spray and frontline top spot do they both work the same i have 4 dogs and would like to know which one to buy A: The topspot is a convenient and simple way to apply frontline protection. the spray is a little more complicated and involves the use of rubber gloves and working the product into the animal's coat. the spray is also more useful when there is a flea infestation you are trying to destroy.
