I seized a dog into animal control because owner never treated multiple UTI and she formed bladder stones which we had removed with surgery. Dog is a 11-12 year old spayed female Beagle/hound mix. The surgery was successful but my question is best food to feed a shelter dog. I know raw is best...
Lola is a 12 year old Labrador who recently had surgery for mast cell tumor on back leg. She is on a fresh raw diet and is a therapy/police comfort dog who goes to work with me each day. Her BEAM is great although I noticed her licking herself recently since her surgery.
When I took her in for...
On 08/28 Lola had a mast cell tumor removed from her right rear leg near her knee. The surgeon had hoped to get better margins but it was difficult considering the location. Now we wait for biopsy results. They did an ECG before surgery and her heart is in great shape. She turned 12 on 08/04 and...
His beam is good even though he just lost his buddy Piper. Does this look like thyroid? I will be making a vet appt. I clipped him after the winter just to get some straggly dead hair off of him but this on his back is now bald.
Yesterday I noticed a small amount of blood in the water bowl in my kitchen that four dogs share. I looked closer and found this on Pipers gum above her front teeth. She is a 9 1/2 year old Dane that lost her eyes as a puppy from congenital glaucoma and over the last few years has suffered from...
I have been a client of Dr Jeff’s for many many years and have learned so much. Last year while recovering from cancer myself I decided to write a children’s book about my Lab Lola who is now 11 and has been a patient ever since I got her at 14 months.
The story is her journey from being a...
This is my daughters raw fed 4 years old Austrailian Shepherd. He has just developed this licking and irritation on his paw. She wants to help him holistically but her vet told her they would want to put him on oral flea tick med if it doesn’t get better. I reminded her that it is up to her what...
Since Lola’s appt with Dr Jeff June 14 she has lost 3 pounds. She will be 11 next month and currently 78.4 pounds. I have been very diligent about reducing her raw and adding in fruits n veggies but doesn’t seem to be helping that much. She is slowing down so increasing exercise is ?? Any ideas...
This week Piper got up and wouldn’t/couldn’t lift her head up all the way. She has also been having a flare up of her Pemphigus so her skin is affected. Took her in to regular vet for bloodwork etc. 4 DX negative. U/A normal. Stool negative but said hookworm ova present, moderate.
Bloodwork...
Piper has had a hard start in life with glaucoma and losing her eyes. Then diagnosed and treated for Pemphigus years ago but has been doing well.
Tonight she coughed a very strange cough (like not enough air getting thru), collapsed and then immediately stood up and has acted fine since. Strange!
Lola and I finally went back to work this week at the police dept. Since she is our therapy/comfort dog she goes to work with me and everyone spoils her and she gives such love and comfort. The only problem is she is a 10 year old yellow lab who sheds on everyone’s uniform (dark blue). Nobody...
This is my 10 year old Labradors mouth. When I first saw this a few weeks ago I thought it was from her top tooth. Now it is larger and reddish. Please advise.
