My Dog Has A Patch On The Tip Of Her Ear That Looks Like A Build …

My dog has a patch on the tip of her ear that looks like a build up of something. It is dry and hard. I started picking at it and the hair started coming part. What is this and how do I help?
She also has other spots on her body that are just dry and thinning hair. Is there anything I can do to help with hair loss/thinning? Anything topical? We were told she may have an allergy to chicken so she is on a sensitive diet.

    I suspect that this is related to allergies and therefore the answer lies in helping the body from the inside out versus trying to get topical products work for the outside in.

    Please talk to your vet about the many options we have for treating atopy in dogs.

    You may also need an oral antibiotic or medication for over abundant yeast.

I Have A Small Dog Treat Bakery Side Hustle And Would Like To Include Small Cakes, …

I have a small dog treat bakery side hustle and would like to include small cakes, donuts and muffins in my treat line. Cake like recipes call for baking powder, baking soda or both. Is there any amount that is safe? Where would I find solid information on the use of these items in cakes for dogs?

I’ve tried using eggs for leavening but things like donuts are still brick like – and yes I taste each item I make!

Thanks!

I’m A Loving Pet Owner With A 12 Yr Old Morkie (who Is Dying From Prostate …

I’m a loving pet owner with a 12 yr old Morkie (who is dying from prostate cancer$ and a Yorkie puppy (who we got before the cancer diagnosis). Interested in how to know signs of imminent death or the need to euthanize. Also, tips on keeping the Yorkie’s “puppy-ism” from causing the Morkie to be overwhelmed with fear, discontent, concern, feeling outcast.

    Hey there.

    I’m so sorry to hear about this. It’s not easy, watching our pets go slowly.

    After Dr. Magnifico posted about this awhile back, I had a list of Things my cat liked to do. As the list shrank, I knew we were closer and closer to letting him go. My list included eating, drinking, cuddling, playing, etc. I would make a similar list for your dog, and monitor based on that.

    For the puppy, I would honestly keep them separate when pup is acting like a puppy. This could be as simple as tethering him to someone when he can be supervised (something I recommend anyway for the first 6 months to help with housebreaking and general naughty behavior) and crating when he can’t.

    Hi there! While I am not a veterinarian, I believe that is your dog’s third eyelid. If it isn’t retracting, that could mean there is something wrong, and I would absolutely get your dog to the vet TODAY. I don’t let eye problems sit for too long without vet care – it could be something very simple, like allergies, or something significant that could lead to blindness if not treated immediately. Only your vet can tell you what’s going on, here.

    Thanks a lot for your answer ! It retract yesterday, but I take an appointment. It happen few time a years so maybe the vet can tell me why / if I can do something about it. Thank you 🙏

Spiral Fracture Of The Humerus-JVC Dr Magnifico

I’m have a 7month old female tortie who broke her left humerus last night. The ER vet at falls road animal hospital who was the only ER able to take her, and delayed a surgery to do so, said it was a spiral fracture and they were worried it could puncture through the skin. I was quoted $1400 for everything needed before surgery. They say they can do surgery Thursday which they estimated to be 4-5k but has always been higher in my experience with them so I am anticipating 6k. I do not have those funds. I made a gofundme, waggle, and posted to fb groups. I’ve reached out to other vets like JVC, timonium, padonia, spaynow for second opinions. Hoping to hear back. Especially from Dr Magnifico at JVC as she has come the mostly highly recommended on every post I’ve made.
Any help would be beneficial.

    Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear about your cat. I understand how expensive and difficult it is to manage an injury like this. This is a difficult bone and fracture to treat. In all cases of broken bones it is ideal to see an orthopedic surgeon and be at a facility that specializes in this. There are board certified veterinary surgeons in our area. You can google them for a facility near you. If you are staying at this hospital please inquire who is doing the surgery and what their credentials are.
    This fracture is beyond the scope of what our hospital can do. For cases like this we would offer a referral to a specialist or cage rest and pain management. This is a young cat and it will likely heal with strict cage rest. In my opinion this should always be offered before discussion of an amputation. Your cat must stay in a small cage with a low bed, low sided litter box and rest for 4-8 weeks. Even if you have the leg surgically repaired these cats need strict cage rest for 4-8 weeks. Re-Xray every 2 weeks.
    In 20 years of practicing veterinary medicine almost all of these cases were managed with crate test alone due to clients not being able to afford the $6-10,000 estimate for surgery. They have ALL done well with cage rest. I also recommend that she is spayed after healing. Best of luck.

    Hello,
    The answer to why this might be happening lies in an examination with your veterinarian. I worry about heart disease in boxers. I also worry about hemoabdomen. Gum color, abdominal palpitation, heart and lungs need to listened to and an orthopedic and neurological examination are needed. This has the potential of being an emergency.

    Thank you I am at the emergency vet now as he started seizing as well.
