Peeing
Dec 26, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
Please have your dog's urine checked by urinalysis to determine if your dog has a urinary tract infection or diabetes. Other common causes of inappropriate urination include: kidney disease, Cushing's syndrome and other hormonal disorders, urinary incontinence, cognitive dysfunction, or behavioral disorder.
Possible neurological disease?
Dec 26, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
I am sorry about your dog. I think that your vet is correct and that it may be an excellent idea to take King to a veterinary neurologist for a definitive answer and potential treatment. Doxycycline and Prednisone are also extremely helpful. The doxycycline is prescribed for many different tick borne diseases which can cause the symptoms you have described...
Convulsions
Dec 26, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
Convulsions are seizures. Seizures can be brought on by toxin ingestion, infections and head trauma or abnormalities in brain function and more. Your dog really requires a complete work up by a vet to determine the definitive cause of the problem. If every thing turns out to be normal in your dog than the cause is idiopathic seizure disorder which just mea...
Head Trauma
Dec 26, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
Are you sure that your dog can see clearly? There may be an eye issue. If this is due to seizure activity there are many excellent treatments for seizures that are no expensive but they do require a visit to a vet and purchasing medications.
lumps under nipples

Please have your vet perform a needle or complete biopsy of these lumps. They may just be mastitis, which is an injection of the mammary glands or it could be something more serious such as breast cancer.
Cat in a snowstorm
Dec 14, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
You may need to get some help from a humane organization with a trap/fix/release program to trap your cat for you. Or, you can try trapping him yourself with a Hav-A-Heart trap in which you have placed really delicious food such as chopped chicken. Try and enlist your neighbors to help also. Put up flyers with the cat's description on them and offer a smal...
How Bad is it ?
Dec 14, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
You sound as if you are a very good nurse for this poor kitten. I have a feeling that the kitten has a very serious disease such as cerebellar hypoplasia. This is a disease in which the cerebellum in the brain which controls balance is underdeveloped. It can occur from infectious diseases, toxins, nutritional deficiencies or as an inherited disease. Patie...
thyroid
Dec 14, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
It sounds as if your dog has something a bit more serious than just hypothyroid disease for which he was given soloxine. I don't know what else your vet is treating him for since you only mention that your vet has given your dog some injections. Anorexia (not wanting to eat) can be due to many different things such as: kidney disease, liver disease, Lym...
how long is the prognosis for this condition
Dec 14, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
This is a difficult question to answer without seeing your dog in person for an office visit. It would be best if your dog were to be seen by a veterinary cardiologist and have an echocardiogram. X-Rays are good for lung disease, but an echocardiogram is really the best way to assess the heart. Vetmedin is a great drug and has been shown to help increase l...
5 month old puppy sick help please?
Dec 14, 2011 in the Animal Health - General Expert Forum
You really do need to take her to the vet. Please apply for care credit. Care credit is a low to no interest credit card that can only be used for medical, veterinary or dental bills. If care credit is not available, please call some of the local humane societies and other pet shelters to see if they offer low cost pet care in your area, additionally, you ...
