My poor dog (Aussie/Rottie mix?, long silky fur) is blowing out his coat and itching like mad!!!!! He's on a homemade diet...Dr. Pitcairn's....and gets 2 fish oil capsules a day to help with his usually dry skin. No obvious dryness or flaking, his coat is very soft, static-free and shiny. He's always fine until fall, then he's just miserable, constantly scratching. Baths don't help either. His eyes are a little drippy, and he sneezes when he's out in the grass, so I think it's allergies, plus his usual fall shed. It's definitely seasonal, but what can I do to give this poor baby some relief until we get a good freeze? We go through this every fall, then he's fine the rest of the year.

Hi WhiteWolfie! I think you are probably spot on with your thought process. Often times itchy skin and even ear infections are clinical signs of allergies in dogs. While I'm afraid we aren't allowed to give medical diagnoses or medication dosages in this medium, please do give us a call so that we can help your poor puppy! Oft times we can use over-the-counter antihistamines to help but some dogs need something extra to get them through the worst of it and back to a manageable level. Our phone number is 303-670-3959 or you can email us at info@sanohospital.com.

How long can my 5-year-old German Shepherd female go without any liquids? For no apparent reason, she vomited first thing this morning, just mucous and bile (last time she ate was about 2 pm yesterday). She's been very subdued all day, and when she finally tried a little water twice through the afternoon, it immediately came back up. I've tried ice chips but she doesn't want any part of them. I'm hoping not to have to take her to an emergency vet this weekend, but am worried about her getting dehydrated. She had just one little bout of diarrhea but nothing else. Thank you.

are her gums sticky? that's an indicator of getting dehydrated
(i'm not medically trained, just been around) don't force the water, the vet can give subq fluids (under the skin) if needed i'm only giving my opinion here because i don't know when the vet will come on with professional opinions - and not knowing all the details, i think i would contact the emergency vet in the morning, if she's not better - at least call them and see what they say good luck! |

This thread is not immediately updated, so if you have a possible life threatening situation, you should seek immediate care.
VRCC may be a good place to call. They are open 24/7 _________________ _________________ A Rainbow Bridge for Pinecammers.
