My 6 Year Old Mini Schnauzer Tore Her ACL A Few Years Back. Before She…

My 6 year old Mini Schnauzer tore her ACL a few years back. Before she had surgery we asked what else could be done. Our vet said either surgery (which cost us 2,000$) or put her down. Is this true? Are there other alternatives? And she may have torn it again(we aren’t sure). What should we do about that?

    I am getting her an appointment but is there anything else I should do until then.

    Keep her clean and dry, perhaps cut the fur away from the wound so the area can stay clean.  If there is drainage you might want to soak the area with a wash cloth dipped in hot, salted water two times per day (morning & night).  Use Epsom salts if you have them, kosher or sea salt works too.  Salt the water until it tastes like the ocean.  Dip a clean cloth in the water and wring out to it isn’t too drippy (and the water should be hot, but not burn you or the GP), then place it over the wound and hold it there until the cloth cools.  Do this a few times per treatment, cleaning the area with the cloth at the end.  Use fresh salted water and a new cloth each morning and night.

    Good luck.

My Dog Has A Red Patch Under His Eye. Could It Be A Ringworm?

My dog has a red patch under his eye. Could it be a ringworm?

    This actually kind of looks like ringworm to me, yes. Not seeing the red but seeing the patch. When JD had ringworm it looked like this (not red; normal skin color). Flat, not raised. Have it checked and conclusively identified.

    i only give puppies one day of vomiting bile (that’s the yellow liquid) before taking them in.  they’re too young to go longer than that.  please, take her to the vet.

    so, my tom has IBD.  it was a STRUGGLE to find something that worked with his system – if he’s eating something that doesn’t cooperate with his gut, he has house-clearing BMs and if left to run its course, ends up with a lot of bloody stool.

    it may honestly require a food change, and you may have to feed them separately.  i’d get him checked for any possible health problems – you never really know when something is just a little off with cats, since they never show it.  then i’d look into possible food changes.

    what do you feed now?

  2. Christina Chambreau

    This is a great example of how every person and animal have unique systems, especially digestive systems. some can be sensitive to one food and not another. The holistic approach is to see the stinky stool as one of the early warning signs of internal imbalance (see more at http://christinachambreau.com/learn-more/free-articles/early-warning-signs-of-ill-health). if any of the following suggestions helps, but you have to continue using them, you need to seek out the help of an integrative veterinarian. You can find links to all the organizations on my site under links. 

    1. Get a stool checked for parasites
    2. Add a really good probiotic (I love Mitomax – see it at my site or go to PetsMaxCity.com) and try that for 2 weeks. 
    3. If still stinky, see if he will eat raw meat (chicken, turkey, beef, etc). If he will, start feeding that with the probiotic mixed in. Then read some of the books that teach you how to feed a raw meat diet (Dr. Becker’s guide to real food for healthy dogs and cats, or anitra Frazier’s Natural Cat) so you can balance it. 
    4. do not let either cat eat dry food as it can cause some health issues, especially for the kidneys. 
    5. Learn Reiki and offer that every day.
    If you want to learn more about these approaches with personal coaching for your cat, email me for an appointment (HealthyAnimals@aol.com)

How do I stop my male cat from playing in the water dish? He has the floor all wet all the time. I put water in his dish then empty it as soon as he’s done drinking but I would rather leave water in the dish.,

    ^^ was going to suggest a fountain.

    also, i don’t know if this came to mind Dr. M, but my queen started playing in her water more and more near the end of her life. she was an old street moggy who had detached retinas and had difficulty seeing some things. she’d play in the water first to make sure it was there, THEN she’d drink.

  2. Laura C

    Put a plastic tray under the water dish so that you don’t have to worry about the water splash?
