ArthritisQ: We have a 14 yr old 24 lb mixed breed terrier that is beginning to experience joint pain. he limps pretty much all of the time when he walks now. our vet has prescribed dermamaxx 25 mg one tablet daily. is there a less expensive medication available? can you supply it? A: Like any new drug deramaxx is not inexpensive. it works well and is very safe. i would not try anything else.

Cost of medsQ: U say u will start to carry cyclosporine eyedrops, how much will they be. and if i order thru u, i will need a prescrition from vet. A: We currently do not dispense the cyclosporin eye drops. we can supply the tacrolimus eyedrops which are used for the same "dry eye".
What kind of inexpensive dog food do you suggest?Q: Hello i have a 2yr old syb husky that i recued from the animal shelter. she is a wonderfull dog. i had been using iam's chicken adult dog food. i noticed that she was eating grass to settle her stomach. i thought this was a break in period till she got used to the new food. i have just ran out of the 40lb bag and she was still nibling at the grass in the back yard. i purchased some wal-mart brand ol-roy the performance dog food for active dogs which she is. she loves it she eats it up like there's no tomorrow. a friend told me though that it is garbage. i feed her a vitamin everyday and also joint suppliments just incase she has any problems with her joints later on. my question is. is the ol-roy dog food really that much different than the other expensive dog food that is on the market. is there a better inexpensive dog food that you would recomend. i seen how you suggested the all natural dog food as the best to buy. please don't get me wrong if i have to spend more money on her food i will do so. but i do not wish to spend more if it is not more of a benefit to her. thank you A: I will answer your question with analogy about status of our own meat supply whic is certainly in question with mad cow disease and other bacterial parasite risks evident in media. well most of meat that goes into cheaper dog foods is made from rejects of human consumption as well as other horrid sources. i would stick with natural brand foods like pet guard, wyssong, etc. only one i would even consider that is widely distributed is natures recipe

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.
