Bee stingQ: My 20 pound, 1 year-old dog was stung on the foot by a bee; shortly afterwards, he had diarrhea and vomiting, but seems to be himself. his foot doesn't seem swolen, he hasn't developed any rashes, and is not experiencing any trouble breathing. i may give him benadryl as a precaution. do you think he'll pull through? A: I think benadryl is fine at dose of one children's 12.5 mg tablet up to twice daily as needed
My dog bites of hairQ: I have a 5year old pitbull and he bites at his side,rear and tail and he loses hair at all the sites listed. A: More than likely allergy based. check for fleas or flea dirt with flea comb as well as possiblity inhalent seasonal allergies or food allergies. can try oral benadry at dose of 1/2 to 1 mg per pound orally twice daily. if no change see your vet for stronger meds
LeakageQ: I have a mix dog she is a doberman/german shepard. my concern is that sometimes she leaks some sort of fluid and it really smells. sort of like fish. what could that be and is it normal or should i be worried. A: I would not worry. this is likely anal gland leakage which is quite common. some dogs need these glands periodically expressed at vet
Is this the same?Q: My dog is around 20 pounds and is due for her dhlpp-c booster. is this the same as the da2lpp booster shot i can order here? my dog is around 16 months old. we adopted her from the spca and they said she was around 4 months old at that time so i am going by that and the vets age time. thank you, candi A: The da2lpp shot will vaccinate against canine distemper, adenovirus-2, parainfluenza, parvovirus, hepatitis and leptospira. this is the same as "dhlpp-c".
