    No, do not use or give human medicine to any animal unless instructed to by your vet.

    I wouldn’t chance it. Human meds are usually stronger than pet meds and can do more harm than good. It’s not wise to give any meds unless instructed by a vet. A lot of human meds are toxic to animals.

    The best thing to do is take her to a vet, there is not anything you can do at home.

    Dawn Ferrara. I would not have asked the question if that was possible. I’m isolated and no where near a vet clinic.

Hello! I was wondering if you could possibly tell me what type of medication or shampoo I should get for my yorkie, her skin almost looks as if it’s “flaking off”

    i would first get a skin scrape done at the vet to figure out the cause of the dandruff.  better to treat the cause than the symptom. 🙂

    that said, i would go with a gentle, dog-specific shampoo…bathe your dog in tepid water (not cold, not warm…just slightly cool on your wrist), do not scrub against the grain of the hair, and rinse thoroughly.  this is how we avoid dandruff in dobes.

My Overweight Calico Cat, Her Name Is Raja, Has Some Kind Of Sickly-sweet Smelling Dark…

My overweight calico cat, her name is Raja, has some kind of sickly-sweet smelling dark discharge coming out of her butt, i can’t tell if it’s her anus or vagina. The skin around the base of the tail and lower back is also super sensitive. She has just today started showing signs of pain but the discharge has been there for weeks. What’s going on?

    She is spayed, about 6 years ago. She is 7. I know I need to bring her to a vet, I just haven’t had the money, but ill have enough soon. I just wanted to know what it might be and if there’s anything I can do in the meantime. I’ve tried to see where it’s coming from but it’s very hard to tell and she is finicky when I try to look. If I had to guess though I would say her anus.

    I was thinking along the lines of anal sacs issues too, but nothing I looked up described what’s going on. Ill just have to wait until our vet sees her. But anyways, thank you for helping me out, I appreciate it!

    I really can’t see how the deep fryer oil could have caused this skin problem.  However, I think she has a significant skin problem and needs to see a vet before it gets worse.

I’ve Been Crate Training My New Dog, She’s A Year Old, And She’s Been Doing…

I’ve been crate training my new dog, she’s a year old, and she’s been doing well. I took the crate apart to clean it and as soon as her blanket was put in it she got in and went to sleep. I had to put it together around her. My question is a matter of consistency. My schedule is pretty consistent as a student, but I have a lab once a week right in the middle of the day. Should I only crate her when I’m gone for those two hours or should I do it every day at that time?

    agreed – consistency is important during the training process.  once she’s used to it and goes in willingly, i’d say feel free to scale back, but for now keep things to a daily practice.

Hi, my dog was spade in December but she won’t stop trying to hump our legs, every single day she try’s and if you push her off she gets nasty and I’m worried she will bite one of us

    this is a training issue, rather than a hormone issue.  i would work on obedience training with her.  rigid boundaries and expectations should help with this issue.

    if you feel this is beyond your abilities, please consult a good balanced trainer.  you should be able to get a referral from your vet.
