Black head ingrown nippleQ: 3 year old male pit bull. he has a nipple growth in the middle of his stomach directly between his nipples. it appeared to be a black head. it finally popped as he scratched it - i removed the black head tip and treated it with antiseptic to stop the bleeding. however the nipple growth is still there? what should i do about the ingrown nipple? had i not seen it bleed, i'm concerned he could have bled to death. appreciate your feedback. A: I doubt he would have bled to death as not big blood supply to these. i would have vet check it out as sometimes these are prone to infection and sometimes they can be removed
Tapeworm treatmentQ: Cat had fleas, treated. now has tapeworm, tried to treat. purchased tapeworm treatment pills at local pet supply. no instructions came w/the 3 pills. staff in store, no knowledge. how to tx? 1 pill x 3 days, all 3 at once, 1 pill weekly?? no phone number on bottle either. how should it be done? A: I don't know what medication you purchased. if you give me the name of the product, i can try to look it up and answer your question.
Hot spotsQ: About 3 months ago my dog, max, started getting bald spots on his hind legs. then they started right at the top of his front legs by the joints. i brought him to the vet and they said it may be a mite problem. they did a couple skin scrapes but were not able to find any. they still decided to treat him for them anyway and said they are hard to find on the dog. they said to give him fish oil pills once a day and they prescribed ivermectin to him. i give him .9 ml once a day. it seemed to clear up but then it came back even worst and now he is biting those spots as well. i've been giving him ivermectin again for the last 2 weeks and it is not making any progress this time. it cost about 85$$$ for a 2 week supply. any ideas on what else i can do?? A: I would see different vet. you need definitive diagnosis here as might not be mite problem at all. i would recommend vet dermatologist consult or some vet who will do skin biopsy to get to cause so right treatment is done
Kcs & cyclosporinQ: I receive cyclosporin drops in corn oil from my vet. when i go to purchase this online, many places(1800petmeds) only have it in a salve-type formula which seems to make my cocker's eyes worse. i was wondering if petmeds offer this in a large bottle(more than my usual 5cc) with the cyclosporin in corn oil? A: We currently do not supply the cyclosporin in oil.
Shop for: 1800petmeds
Changing medicationQ: My dog, a 30 lb mixed breed, who lives in the house has been on revolution since early 2000. i recently bought another six months supply of revolution at the beginning of february and started the applications. i have given him 3 doses since the first of february and he still has fleas. i know i have fleas in my yard as i have another dog, a rotty, living outside and he has fleas. because he weighs 160 lb i cannot afford to buy flea protection for him so i just use topical. my question is, do dogs get immune to the effects of meds after a period of time as humans do? if so, i need to switch but am concerned about overdoing the little guy. is it safe to switch and apply right away? A: Some products do stop working in some pets andit may have to do with resistance on flea end which is only inevitable as these are used over time. you could try another product like frontline plus or advantage.
Shop for: revolution, advantage, frontline plus, frontline
How to re-introduce older cat to use litter boxQ: My 9 year-old cat is both inside and outside. as a kitten he would use the litter box but he much prefers the great outdoors. in his older years i feel he will live longer if we can keep him inside more, but he refuses the litter box and will wait patiently at the door until we let him out. is it fair to him to try to keep him inside now? is there a particular litter now that would entice him to use the litter box? thank you! A: You could try another litter box and a litter known as everclean which you can get at most pet supply outlet stores. if that not help then i dont see problem in letting him go outside
Help, what type of wormQ: Yesterday i noticed white, flat worms in my cats stool...i have not noticed them in the litter box before, but she had just gotten out and some feces was stuck to her fur. when i went to pick it up i noticed the white things. they seemed kinda big and long to me..i am very concerned..i gave her and my other kitten some capsules for ringworm in food yesterday that i had bought at a local store...please let me know if this is the right medication or should i get something else or take her to the vet..someone told me they could kill her and i am scared..thank you for your time A: Ringworm is a fungus infection that gets its name from the lesion it makes on the skin. what you saw was an intestinal worm. order homeo pet wormer and use it for 14 days on both cats.
Shop for: ringworm, homeo
Cut that seems infectedQ: I have a cat that has a small cut on it's tail that seems infected. i'm sure he probably just needs and anti biotic. do i have to take him to the vet or is there another way to get the antibiotic for him. also is human antibiotic the same. for example amoxacillin? mike A: Human antibiotic amoxicllin is same as one often prescribed in vet medicine. dose in cat is 50 to 100 mg twice daily depending upon size of cat. need vet prescription for antibiotics. can try topical calendula from health food store until can get evaluated
