My dog has an aggressive retrobulbar mass. He’s been doing okay with gabapentin. But today he seems to be having trouble breathing and is bleeding from his nose. Will he be able to make it until tomorrow when we can go to our vet if it’s time to say goodbye?
My dog recently had surgery and I gave her her antibiotic last night while my wife wasn’t home and she woke up this morning and have her another dose because she didn’t realize I had given it last night. It’s 200mg of CEFPODOXIME – proxetil. Is there any cause for concern?

What are the best calming treats to give my dog? He appears to get very upset when in the crate.
This is a training issue, not a medication issue. Look into Susan Garrett’s Crate Games. You need to train him to be okay with being in the crate, and her method is a great way to start.
My son’s dog need surgery. A very expensive surgery. I have been trying to find a place that will help with this with no luck. If my son’s dog doesn’t get the surgery he will need to put him down. There is something wrong with his jaw and now having a hard time eating. Someone plz help me save my son’s dog.
Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about your dog. You would have to give a better description of what kind of surgery is needed for us to offer any kind of assistance or advice.
Dog had abscessed gland that busted. I cleaned it up and got all brown stinky liquid clean out of it. Will she need an antibiotic?
Hello,
Sorry for the delay. Yes. I always put these patients on an oral antibiotic and a medicated solution as a compress to keep the area clean.
My dog is predisposed to have reactions to ingredients in every heartworm medication. I have received no definitive answer from my vet as to what to do except to basically play Russian Roulette which I’m not really willing to do. I would like to know if you have any advice on how to herbally treat heartworm without using conventional treatment. He is a husky, German Shepherd, wolf mix he has been DNA tested and he is 20 months old. Any information that you could provide would be helpful. My name is James Dalton and if you need to contact me my number is 864-906-4305. Thank you
Hello,
I do not know of any heartworm treatments outside of those commercially available for this.
Can you use neosporin on a cut on my dog assuming it’s a place they can’t reach to lick?
Hello,
While it isn’t unsafe to use a triple antibiotic ointment topically on a dog it is almost always not effective enough on its own to make much of a difference. If you have a wound or cut or laceration showing any signs of infection you need an oral antibiotic. I believe that almost all bite wounds get infected and an ointment isn’t adequate. Please see your vet if you are worried about infection or your pet has any signs of infection.
PLEASE HELP, so my dog just had a fight and I noticed that one of his upper tooth is very loose and looks like it’s about to come out of his gum. What should I do? Do I just leave it alone until it falls out? My dog doesn’t seem to be in pain and there is no blood.
Hello,
I have had a few dogs throughout the years that this has happened to. They getting a fight and avulse (pull the tooth out of the socket) the tooth in the process. For these cases I always do a dental and remove the tooth (it will not heal) and then close the gums after removing the broken bone around the tooth root. Your dog is essentially going to lose that tooth but with the dental surgery you can close the area so that they don’t have pain or get infections. Please see your vet asap and talk to them about this. Until then I would feed soft food and avoid playing with toys.
Thank you so much for the advice. I’ve attached a picture of my dog’s teeth.
Hello.
I answered this. See your vet asap. Feed soft food and no playing with toys.
Hello,
I am so sorry to hear about your pup. I will be at the clinic early today if I can help.
