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

Black lab with scaling skin and hair loss/extremeQ: Can you recommend a treatement for my dog. he is about 18 months old , and has scaling flaking skin, and extreme hair loss on his back, rear area, and thigh area. i have treated him for mange, and that did not help. his skin seems similar to a human if they had sorioas? i did not spell that correctly, but sometimes he also has sores. i can not afford to spend hundreds of dollars for vet treatments. what do you think would treat him? thanks, tess A: He needs diagnosis for best treatment so really needs vet visit to examine skin and determine if overgrowth of yeast, bacteria or skin parasite, etc as well as underyling allergies that can predispose to these issues. you could try chlorihexiderm shampoo from 1800petmeds and use every few days as wella s 1800petmeds aloe vera conditioner after shampoo.

Ear mitesQ: I have 2 dogs, one a golden retreiver and a small poodle type mixed breed. they had ear mites and i put in ear-rite insecticidal ear wash. it seemed to do the job for awhile then they came back and i did it again. but i think they didn't get taken care of totally. when i brought my cat in they gave him something they squeezed on his neck. is there something like that, that i could just order on line? A: I doubt the ear mites persist as usually once treated they dont tend to rcur. i would have vet exam of ear and microscopic exam of any discharge to rule out mites from other yeast or bacterial infections of ear. but product you ask about is called revolution which can be preventative against ear mites Shop for: ear mites, revolution
