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.
AnxietyQ: My sons 8 yr old dog is constantly wining. he's other wise content, and very loveable. at home you could be sitting watching tv, and he'll lay at your feet and wine. has always been this way, but seems to be getting worse lately. vet has recommanded prozac, but because of the cost, it is out of the question. what can you suggest. thank you, A: I would try some natural flower essences from health food store such as rescue remedy which can be used safely long term with no side effects. there is also cheaper meds such as amitryptylline which your vet can prescribe if anxiety a big issue
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiencyQ: Hello, my dog was just diagnosed with epi. the price for the medicine is $77 for a 4 ounce package. i looked online and found out that we can also give him a human suppliment called lipram or panzytrat as well. have you heard of anyone that has done this to treat epi on their dog? thanks. A: The concentration of enzymes is different in the veterinary product than it is in the human product (lipram). i would not suggest making a change since your pet will probably not get the required dosage.
WeightsQ: I want to use frontline plus, but i only saw medicicne for dogs 11 pounds and up and my puppy is 9 and a half pounds, could i use the medicine for the lowest weight catagory or find something else? does it come in a dose for smaller dogs perhaps only available at the vet?

6 year old german sheppard right hind legQ: Ever since our german sheppard was attacked by another german sheppard last summer, he has had problems with his right hind leg. he's to the point now where he won't put pressure on it much. when attacked, he had a bite wound on the inner part of his leg. we took him to the vet and they gave us antibiotic and cleaned and wrapped it. it healed fine. we took him back to the vet because he was favoring his leg. they gave us an anti-inflammatory (don't have the name of it with me) for dogs. that helped a little, but we took him back for ex-rays. they showed nothing wrong. what should we do next? we can't stand seeing him hurting like this? A: You probably need to continue the therapy for a longer period of time, especially since you did notice some improvement when you did use it.
