Rabies vaccineQ: I have a ten year old male shari mix. he has always had all his shot at the vet. now we are retired and in arizona instead of california where his regular vet is. i would like to know if i can get his shots at the local feed store and give them to him myself to save money? is the medication safe bought at a feed store? i got him his rabies shot at the local animal shelter and he needs the rest of his yearly shots. we board him in california when we go to visit our family there. so my question is will kennels in other states recognize that he is up to date on his shots if i bring a copy of the recite and his rabies cert.? thank you pamela so deets A: I would avoid parvo distemper shots in this aged dog as he most definitely has adequate immunity from prior shots. all vet schools now recommend every 3 year shots at a minimum to most adult dogs and cats for most of the common diseases
Swollen leg causing toeing inQ: I have a rescued mix breed dog estimated to be 6 or 7 years old weighing 48 lbs. she had a small swellin on her right front ankle, and i immediately took her to a vet. diagnosis - wait and see as nothing requiring immediate attention. it has swollen so much it has caused her foot to toe in dramatically. after two sets of x-rays, the vet (a second opinion agreed) stated it was not a tumor, but scar tissue or soft tissue swelling. rymedyl no long works, now on deramax. is there anything i can do to help alleviate discomfort - including different or additional meds, wrapping the leg (i've tried but not very good - either too tight or too loose), or alternative strategies. i love this dog a lot! A: Tough for me to tell without seeing it but if you have been to see vet orthopedic specialist just to make sure, then i would consider homeopathic vet options www.theavh.org to find one in your area. many also offer phone consults
