Thanks again to everyone! Boomer's anus is now OK. The yogurt seemed to work really well. I added it to their food for two meals and the infection or whatever it was cleared-up about 24 hours after the second meal (they eat once a day). I'm really happy though I'm sure Boomer is even happier!

Also be aware that mushrooms grow exceptionally quickly. They can appear within hours, maturing overnight. Always keep ipecac in your dog's first aid kit. You always want to induce vomiting immediately with mushroom poisoning. Give the dog ipecac and get into the car or give it to the dog while...

It was very discreetly sealed in a plastic baggie and then placed in a paper bag. Nobody should be too shocked if they open the door.:popcorn: Yes, he's still itchy too. I'm going to get some yogurt tomorrow as well but don't want to give him some just yet as that might cause diarrhea. I will...

Yeah, meat or even raw chicken bones wouldn't bother me so much. I'm just furious. I'm all but positive my father lied to me. I figure he went to throw away the container and remembered he wasn't supposed to put food in the recycling so he just tossed the bones onto the driveway. I checked the...

Be very careful. I would discuss this with your vet or a veterinary nutritionist.

This is why Fark.com has an entire section devoted entirely to Florida.

Thanks! It gets better......:mad: My father took my car this morning without asking and promptly locked BOTH sets of keys in the car as well. I gave up on today, missing my train into the city and my meeting. After I managed to break into my car to retrieve the keys, I had to drive my...

Thanks! :) The fever is down, but he still doesn't stand much. He will play with Tweeter but frequently stops everything and then lightning quick reaches back to lick or bite at his anus like there's an itch or biting irritation. Might he have injured something internally or sat on a nettle...

Went to the vet. Fecal and Lyme were negative. He's got a slight fever though and his anal sacs were slightly full. The vet expressed them and Boomer seems livelier but he's still favoring his butt. We're just going to monitor the fever and see. If it's not gone by Monday we'll do antibiotics...

Hi all, Today he's not eating and won't walk. I have to drag him to walk anywhere. Without pressure on the leash he'll sit. I have a vet appointment in an hour so we'll see what happens. He had a small bowel movement this afternoon and I've got that in the fridge to take with me just in case...

I should. Newly shaved they look VERY different! The title.... well.... this is a medically-oriented forum. No need for embarrassment. :D

The ears seem OK. I don't smell anything foul. I'll try the yogurt though. I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thank you very much for the reply!:hail:

Hi all! I've two dogs, both a year and a half old. They've both developed a problem where they're licking their anuses nearly all the time. This began a few weeks ago and has steadily become worse. They play and swim in the stream frequently and this has caused some very bad matting and one...

Just back from vacation. I'll post some more pics of the guys soon. Thanks to everyone for all their replies on this. I understand iRobot is coming out with a new model next month and I'm hoping that the new model will either be greatly improved or the current models will go on sale for clearance.
