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
Small white worms in our cat's stoolQ: We noticed small white worms in our cat's stool last night. when we first got her, the vet gave us a prescription for parasites that she contacted from her mother. after we gave her all of her medicine and reexamined by her vet, she was clear of the parasites. is it possible for the parasites to reappear? also is there any medication that can be bought at a pet supply store that would get rid of the parasites? A: In the education section of this website there's an article on intestinal parasites - you need to have a stool sample done to determine what kind of parasite it is. then treat appropriately.||we do carry several economically priced wormer products.
