Red & Swollen Toes
My Bichon Frise has two red & swollen toes. He licks them constantly. I noticed it yesterday but he tends to lick a lot so I thought nothing of it. Today they are swollen, but he doesn't seem to be in pain when I touch them. What should I do? Is there anything I can do at home?

Can human hair conditioner be used on dogs?
I thought I remember reading that you can't use human hair conditioner (Not shampoo - conditioner) on dogs, but I can't remember why. Can you or can't you?

Is Sasha a mixed shep or full blood?
Hi Everyone, about a week ago I found Sasha in front of my business. Decided to keep her and she's a great puppy (minus the poddying everywhere lol). Now I'm wondering what breed she is. I took her to the vet and the vet said she's a shepherd but not sure if she's mixed or not. Would...

The vet told me to give her 2.0 ml of Children's Benadryl 30 mins prior to shots when I bring her in next week. Is it really advisable that I give the Benadryl as a safe guard to side effects for immunizations...

I already paid them $217 to look at him and $38.50 for meds. Just to do x-rays she want $400 and stated that surgery...

Hi All, It's been a long time since I have posted but things with Maddi went from great to awful very quickly. The end of September, I noticed she started limping in the morning on occasion and wasn't too alarmed since she is nine and a little bit of arthritis wouldn't be a surprise. By mid...
