    Frontline. What dose should I give to my 25lb dog? I don't want to over-medicate

    I've been giving my dog the 0-22lb Frontline but he's gained some weight (long story...he can't live with me right now because the apartment I had to take doesn't allow dogs. My mom took him for the year until I can find a better place but she's older and doesn't walk him as much) I'm out of...

    I have to give my dog away. I am so upset over this.

    My boyfriend and I got our dog when my boyfriend had a stable job and had had the job for a few years. Flash-forward to today, my boyfriend lost that job and we moved closer to my family. I am now working while my boyfriend goes to school but I make crap money and we can barely afford our own...

    Feeding my dog chicken broth for months...but it has onions in it?

    Hmm, it seems I just was unlucky with the one that I chose. I've been using the same one the whole time so it's had onion in the the whole time =/ I'm definitely going to call the vet tomorrow but I just wondered if anyone had any information on here. Thanks for your help!

    Feeding my dog chicken broth for months...but it has onions in it?

    I went to the wet in August for my dog's routine checkup. I told her that my dog was getting picky about his food and asked for any suggestions about what I could do or add to it to make it more palatable for him. She suggest that I use a little bit of low sodium chicken broth and so I've been...

    Just got his Bordetella vaccine...is it okay to give him his Heartworm pill?

    My dog is about 3 years old and he was just given a Bordetella vaccine. He was tested for heartworm and lymes and thankfully they were both negative. He is due today for his heartworm pill (interceptor) but because he was given a vaccine, I'm afraid to give him his heartworm pill too =/ I...

    DHPP vaccine question

    My dog is getting his DHPP vaccine tonight and I'm so worried that he's going to have a reaction or something like that. Is there anything I can do to prevent him from having a reaction/side effects? I got him his rabies shot a month ago because the idea of giving him his shots at the same...

    Vaccinations...Can you give the Rabies vaccine at the same time as the others?

    He's about 1.5-2 years old. We got him last January from a rescue and they weren't sure of his age but estimated he was around 1 or so.

    Vaccinations...Can you give the Rabies vaccine at the same time as the others?

    My dog needs his Rabies, Parvo and Bordetella vaccines renewed. He is due on the 23rd and so that's the date I made the appointment for. However, I've been reading a bit and I noticed that some people suggest NOT getting the Rabies vaccine within at least 2 weeks of any other vaccinations...

    Vet seemingly made my dog's ears much worse

    I just posted a few days ago about the necessity of a re-check with my vet. The vet herself said that if my dog seemed okay then it wasn't totally necessary. Well, he seemed to be doing better and I gave him his last dose of Tresaderm on Tuesday. On Wednesday his ears (his left ear specifically)...

    Do I *need* to take my dog back for a re-check? (Opinions, please)

    We didn't try the Benadryl because the vet said it was probably a yeast infection. Do you think I should ask if we should try it?

    Do I *need* to take my dog back for a re-check? (Opinions, please)

    The vet proscribed some Epi-otic ear cleanser.

    Do I *need* to take my dog back for a re-check? (Opinions, please)

    Well, the vet looked in his ears and told me that they looked good. She said there was a bit of wax but it didn't look red or inflamed or anything like some ear problems sometimes do. She said that it might just be allergies and I could try some Benadryl, or they could do a swab and look at it...

    Do I *need* to take my dog back for a re-check? (Opinions, please)

    I called and spoke to the vet that saw Dodger last week and she said that I don't absolutely need to re-check it, but they recommend it just to make sure they got everything. She said I could keep an eye on it myself and bring him if only if there's an issue. She told me to get some ear...

    Do I *need* to take my dog back for a re-check? (Opinions, please)

    My dog has been having a slight ear issue for about a month or so. He's been shaking his head a bit more and scratching his ears. It's nothing chronic, I can't see any wax, his ears don't have any foul smell, and it's not a constant thing but I noticed that it's been on-going for about a month...

    Quick help, please! Question about maggots and inducing vomiting...

    (My dog eats everything!) I was outside with my dog and he quickly grabbed some gross piece of meat or something that I didn't see quick enough to avoid! I quickly got my hand in his mouth to get it out, but he never, ever unlocks his jaw when he wants something. I was just trying to prevent...

    I think he's part jack russell with some beagle in him. He's about 18lbs.

    Dog swallowed some of his rope toy. Please help.

    I am having a hard time explaining how much it was. I took some pictures but I'm not sure it really illiterates the situation. I circled the parts that he chewed off. It should be as long as the other parts. (I used the dollar for some perspective)

    Dog swallowed some of his rope toy. Please help.

    My boyfriend works and he's the only one with a car. I'm not sure what to do =/ Would they even be able to tell this early if he has a blockage?

    Dog swallowed some of his rope toy. Please help.

    It is a toy like this. I NEVER leave him alone with it because he is a big chewer, but I got distracted this time :( I noticed that he ate some of the strings on the end of it. I can't really explain how much he ate...it's difficult to explain. Do you think he's going to be alright? What should...
