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.

Malignant melanoma in dogQ: My 15 yr old shih tzu had surgery to remove a tumor on his lip, it is malignant amelanotic melanoma. given his age and various other health concerns, we have decided to forego chemo. is there any supplements he can go on to help him? i read something about improving the quality of his life with omega 3 fatty acids and also the use of aloe vera?? i just dont want him to be in any pain. thanks. A: I like antioxidant vitamins like c and e. e can be given at 100iu daily as well as vitamin c in form of ester c at dose of 500 mg twice daily. also omega 3's like flax seed oil at dose of 1 tea per 20 pounds of bodyweight daily

Gave a stray puppy tylenolQ: We gave a stray puppy 1/4 tsp of tylenol. we didn't know it was bad for the puppy to have tylenol, and will use asprin from now on. what we need to know is what will happen to him now that he's had it. could it harm him seriously? what should we expect or what side effects will there be now that we have given it to him? is there anything we can give him to counter it? he is a stray mixed breed dog, that weighs about 10lbs. A: I would not worry about it. will likely be fine as it goes out of system quickly. most common side effects are upset stomach or nausea
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.
