    antifreeze for AC spilled

    I would be very nervous about that! You raised a good question about the effects after it has had a chance to dry, but I sure would think it would take longer than two hours to dry completely. Even then, what might happen? Scary thought. I'd be kinda nervous about pouring bleach on it...

    Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements?

    I've heard that shark cartilage is supposed to be effective, but I've personally never tried it. Adequan is supposed to be beneficial because it can stimulate cartilage repair, but it has side effects with dogs with joint infections or a history of kidney disease. Metacam can relieve the pain...

    Pmi

    I've heard a lot of people compain about Iams because of the corn content. Besides causing allergic reactions, the corn can cause behaviorial problems, too, so you're wise to stay away from it. I've heard a lot of people that have dogs with allergies will home cook or feed raw, but there are...

    Wellness Puppy Food

    Since I discovered Wellness switched formulas, I began using Canidae. It's a wonderful food if it's not too rich for some dogs systems. Some dogs just don't seem to tolerate it too well. I keep hearing very positive things about Eagle Pack, though, so I might just have to check that out.

    In regards to heartworm meds..

    Personally, I opt for the monthly route annually. It's not just heartworm I would be concerned with....it's other parasites as well. While I agree that there are potentially harmful chemicals in these meds (particularly Invermectin, which the last I knew, can be breed sensitive), I just...

    Pit saves girl from fire

    Very nice story. I guess if it's going to save someone's life, a nip is a good alert! I agree, though, they didn't really need to mention that part!

    Is she sick?

    Unfornately, some parasites or bacteria can't be detected by the human eye in stools, and repeated stool samples may be required by the vet. It's good that you're keeping a close eye on her. Please keep us posted.

    Collapsing Trachea

    I, too, thought this only occurred in people. Good thing you're taking her in for a second opinion. Hopefully, a different opinion will give you better insight. Please let us know his/her diagnosis.

    Someone is copying my posts

    Boy, I don't blame you for being offended. I would be, too. I agree they could have prefaced the question by stating that this issue had come up, and he/she was interested in knowing if anyone had any input.

    Are Mushrooms poisonous?

    I guess I would tend to be cautious and ask a vet. Even if the mushroom itself isn't poisonous, I think it could possibly still contain toxic mold.

    Dog Arthritis

    If it's an arthritic issue, I would consider a supplement of Chrondoiton or shark cartilage, and if that doesn't help with the pain, you might want to consider Adequan injections.

    Asmtha

    From my understanding, cats can suffer from asthma although it can occur in dogs (but I don't think it's as common in dogs). I think dr2little is probably right about the reversed sneeze.

    Innova...too much of a good thing?

    Maybe the Innova Evo is just too rich for his sytem. A friend of mine has complained about the same thing. Have you tried Canidae? It may be too rich as well but might be worth a shot. The good news is that you aren't feeding Nutro anymore since so many Nutro products contain Vitamin K3...
