loose stool from antibiotics?
My dog is once again suffering from an overabundance of chlostria. It's probably brought on by the stress of thunderstorms. She is on 2 antibiotics and her stool is very soft. Once she is done with the antibiotics I'll have her on probiotics. Do you think the soft stool is from the medicine?...

Diarrhea
Hi there, I went and stayed at my sister's house overnight on Friday. Took my dog with me, and aside from sleeping inside in his kennel, he spent the whole time outside. The only thing unusual was that he found a dead mouse, which I promptly threw away. Well, ever since Saturday, he's had...

Grooming Powder
I took both my dogs to the groomers yesterday and they are itching like crazy. I think it's the powder. I have soaked their bottoms in cold water but it didn't help. I could give them a full bath with dog shampoo but I don't want to make it worse. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Agnes's vet visit, 9-2-09
Wasn't a bad visit. Got two chest xrays. She has enlargement on the right side of the heart, but not the left. Her arteries appear to be wide open and the vet said it was due to hypertension. So we are keeping her on Enalapril. And he thought her risk for treating the heartworm was about 50/50 with...

Proin replacement
Pella is on Proin, recently they switched her to Phenylpro Cstolamine 75mg. Is there a natural treatment for incontinence, that work? I have now added Benadryl for fall allergies and I think it is causing a slight leakage problem. Any suggestions?

Advantage Multi?
Anyone use this topical product? I'm used to Frontline Plus paired with either Heartgard or Interceptor for heartworms, but the vet I was using doesn't carry Frontline because they say fleas are getting immune to it here. I told them I specifically needed a product to handle ticks on a very young...
