has anyone seen head/facial twitching as a side effect of zonisamide? my dog was just started on it yesterday and he's had 2 doses so far. he just starting facial twitches around 10pm tonight...there's not much information published about the use of zonisamide in dogs so i'm really at a...

hi everyone, i have a 7 1/2 year old cavalier male with no hx of serious health problems (occasional ear infections) but he has recently been diagnosed with a grade 2-3 heart murmur (what a surprise right :rolleyes: ) i am currently away at school and my sister and mom really aren't the best...

i understand what you're talking about, but i check my dog regularly for bumps, scratches, etc. i'm almost 100% positive he didn't have these before and i'm not trying to blame the groomer or anything...justwondering if this it's possible to be from the clipper or something

hi, i got my cavalier groomed (bathed and shaved down for the summer) on Thursday. After that, I noticed that he had a couple of pinkish spots that kind of look like bug bites and also he had a little scabby bump. the scabby spot i picked a little bit so it started falling off but now it's just...

well i had heard things like the products don't work the way they're supposed, they're not stored properly, they're expiration date is passed...pretty much you can't trust that the medication that you're getting will really work the way it should or be the medication it should be. i'm just...

i'm currently away at college, so i don't purchase the medications for my dog. my mom is debating whether or not to buy frontline/sentinel from 1800 pet meds rather than my vet, but at the practice where I work as a tech, i know that the doctors tell the patients not to buy from any online...

took in another sample of twinkie's pee(first pee of the morning) today to my vet. ran an in house UA (did the urine strip and looked at a slide under the microscope) my vet told me that everything looks beautiful (pH is great, it was 7-7.5) and that the crystals probably just formed because we...

i decided to run a general wellness profile on my dog's urine and blood last week...while i was gone on a trip this past weekend, my vet called my mother and told her that my dog has crystals in his urine, but the vet told her that she's not worried about it but will look into it more...

just as an update.. twinkie pooped a few hours ago... it was very good poop, no blood, not runny, nothing like that at all! just thought i'd let everyone know! :D

nope, no blood when trying to go. otherwise no discomfort either, normal appetite, he's taking his afternoon nap right now. everything else seems rather normal...and he's eaten bigger things before and had no problems.

my dog ate a piece of a paper muffin wrapper (maybe 1.5-2 inches?) yesterday...I'm away at school, so I wasn't here when it happened. My sister and mom however have told me that he hasn't pooped since yesterday. We called the vet today because he was straining to poop but couldn't, but they...

hi, so my dog - 4 year old cavalier king charles spaniel, male, neutered - has been on canidae ALS and lamb/rice formula for several months now. in that time period, he has gone from weighing almost 29 pounds to a solid 23 pounds. He had always been slightly over weight, even though he was...

my cavy used to be really picky about his dry food, would only eat if i added rice or some cooked chicken. the brands that he really liked to eat were natural balance (which he was on previously) and canidae (which we are on now) those are 2 brands i would recommend for picky eaters!

i know the diet isn't for everyone, but my mom just isn't willing to even remotely consider raw bones either :( i desperately wish i could give him raw bones, i know the benefits are great.
