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
Cat weight for frontline +Q: I just purchased a 6 month supply of frontline + from 1800petmeds for my 2 cats. the older cat of 7 years is 17 lbs and my 1yr old cat is only 8 lbs. although i haven't received the meds yet, considering the weight difference, would the same amount (one vile) be used on each cat? i don't want to harm them by using too much... thank you A: Use the same product on both cats.

TapewormQ: What are the symptoms of tapeworm A: You will generally notice what appears to be grains of rice being passed out of the animals rectum. these are segments containing egg sacs. you may notice those segments moving. the rest of the tapeworm is secured in the animals intestine and absorbs nutrients from the pet's food supply passing around it.
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.

AsthmaQ: Hello my dog has been diagnosed with asthma but has not been given any treatment plan. yhe only treatment consists of a rush visit to the vet's office where he gets a cortisone shot and short- term dose of temeril. he is a 6 lb. yorkie. is there a maintenance medication? also, it is quite frightening when his wheezing worsens. are there rescue treatments we could administer ourselves? i myself am a severe asthmatic and physician as well. i am familiar with albuterol, theophylline, etc. but i have no experience with canines. i would appreciate any information. A: Sounds like he needs chronic meds like aminophylline or theophylline at dose of 5 mg per pound twice daily. also some of these dogs need low dose cortisone therapy during flareups so good to have supply of that around
The amount to orderQ: Katie is a 15 yrs. llhasa apso and has been taking heartguard for her entire life. my vet has always given her 8 months supply of this medicine yet i see they only come in 6 month increments or 12 month increments. does she need to take it for 8 months since she is an inside dog most of the time? A: We can make arrangements to send you 8 months supply. please contact our customer service department for assistance.
DosageQ: I have three cats, flea meds are expensive. is there any difference in dosage of medicines if i buy a six months supply of advantage, giving each cat 1 dose for two months, or is the first dose in this six month pack stronger or something? all three cats weigh about the same, so they'd use the same pill strength. thanks in advance. A: Each monthly dose of advantage contains the same amount of medication. in order for this product to be effective you need to follow the manufacturer's directions and use 1 tube on each cat once a month.
