My babyQ: I have a 9 year old shar-pei and she has really started showing signs of pain when getting up and walking. i have been giving her the pedigree jonit care and that has helped some but not like i was hoping. i am not due to see the vet again until september. the last time i was in to see him last year, he gave me a week supply of some type of medication for her aches and pains. i could not tell if there was a difference or not in the week that i was giving it to her. i can not remember the name of the medication that he gave me but i really think that i need something better then the pedigree joint care that i have been giving her. i can not stand to watch her hurt and will do anything to help her. please tell me what i should give her. thank you very much for your help. michelle rose A: I would try deramaxx from 1800petmeds in conjunction with a glucosamine product like glycoflex or cosequin

Question about heartgard medicineQ: My dog weighs 16 lbs. can i buy a 45/50 lb box of heartgard and break the pill in half and thus have a years supply at the price of a 6 month supply? also... if my dog is on heartgard year round, do i have to have them re-examined every year? A: To ensure that the pet gets the full, required dose, it is recommended that you do not split the tablet in half. if your pet is on heartworm medication year round you may not need a heartworm test every year. it is up to your veterinarian but many veterinarians test every 2 years for pets on year round prevention.
