Thanks, do what you can to keep him comfortable.
I lost a peke at age 16 a few months ago 🙁

Did your vet approve of these over the counter meds? You only mentioned 2 prescription meds, Baytril and Metronidazole.

You do realize that you should check with your vet first? A lot of these over the counter meds are not approved for veterinary use, the vet can prescribe them (off label use).
Interactions could occur.

Btw: Baytril is a very effective antibiotic, however some dogs can’t tolerate it and develop GI symptoms and have to be switched to another antibiotic. If you are giving multiple meds how will you know which is causing what? Sometimes less is more.
Also, the vet tech can show you how to give a dog a pill, it only takes a minute, I am sure they will demonstrate if you ask. It’s easy, there is a trick to it. Check youtube.

Peace out.

If your pet is having a positive effect from the tramadol, then I would continue it as prescribed. Carprofen also known as Rimadyl is a very effective pain med for canines, however, not all dogs tolerate it well if they are on it for a while, GI symptoms such as diarrhea have been known to occur. So, I would use it for pain (as prescribed by the treating vet), but would stop it and call the vet if side effects occur.
As far as supplements go, I have no use for most of them. A lot of scams out there.

Tramadol is no longer recommended as a pain med for dogs, recent research shows that it does not convert to an opiate in dogs as it does in humans. However, tramadol does have sedative qualities.
Ask your vet, he will explain it to you.

[anonymous]

Thanks for the update. These things happen. I hope your dog continues to improve.

[anonymous]

I think the Galliprant is worth a try, not all dogs have the GI side effects.
It might work.

Also, you could ask the Skepttvet what he thinks of this medication, he often answers blog questions.
http://skeptvet.com/Blog/?s=NSAIDS

Ps: Is the vet recommending surgery? You may want to reconsider.

[anonymous]

@ Michelle P
I hope you will give us an update as to what the vet that is treating your dog advises.
Usually they start with the least invasive tests as indicated, until they find answers.

On more than one occasion a physical exam, lab work and a quick ultrasound has led to a diagnosis for my dogs. It all depends on what the vet is looking for………..
And, at 13 it may be age related, but at least the vet should be able to come up with some comfort measures.

[anonymous]

Have x-rays been done? Bloodwork? The first thing you need is an accurate diagnosis.
At age 13 (senior) I don’t know how aggressive you want to get about treatment, but I would consider making an appointment with a Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist.

I would direct your questions you have to the vet, I would not give him anything (over the counter meds, supplements) unless recommended by a vet that has examined him.

Call the vet in the morning and leave a message for him to call you back when he has a minute.

[anonymous]

This happened to my dog on Rimadyl, after about a month. The med had to be stopped and it took him over a week to recover. NSAIDS don’t agree with some dogs. It can get much worse.
Call the vet.

[anonymous]

Ps : There tends to be a genetic link (allergies) so you may not want to breed this dog.
See what the specialist advises. Good luck

There is no cure for allergies, but there is effective treatment, tends to be lifelong.

[anonymous]

Make sure you check with the dermatologist before the appointment, the dog has to be off steroids for a month prior to testing.

Also, I caution you not to use any over the counter solutions or make drastic changes to the dog’s diet, unless an examining vet recommends it.

I had a shelf full of various shampoos and stuff, even had an air purifier and a dehumidifier. Wasted all kinds of money. Nothing worked till we saw the specialist.

Zignature Whitefish is a good kibble for dogs with allergies.

PS: I almost forgot, a meat grinder that went to the Goodwill!! Raw made them vomit. The food had nothing to do with it.,.

[anonymous]

Go to a Veterinary Dermatologist asap, get an accurate diagnosis and treatment options.

Per the search engine: /forums/topic/i-can-only-find-one-dog-food-my-dogs-allergies-tolerate/

Have environmental allergies been ruled out? What you describe sounds like that’s what your dog may have vs food sensitivities.
They usually start around 1-2 years old and get worse with age. Environmental allergies tend to wax and wane making it almost impossible to tell which foods work or not.
Everyone blames the food, but I have found my dog tolerates a lot of different foods since beginning allergen specific immunotherapy (desensitization). The treatment tends to be lifelong, but no more ear infections, rashes, anal gland issues (5 years in)
The initial testing, intra dermal skin testing is expensive, maintenance isn’t that bad.
For best results, an accurate diagnosis and treatment options that work, I would make an appointment with a veterinary dermatologist. Allergies are complicated and often require the expertise of a specialist.

Evidence Update- Evidence-based Canine Allergy Treatment

I took milk thistle once, years ago, I forget why now. Anyway, I felt nauseous 20 minutes later and vomited.

Hope this helps. Below is an excerpt from an informative blog, click on link for the full article and comments. http://skeptvet.com/Blog/2011/04/milk-thistle-in-dogs-and-cats/

As far as risks, there appear to be few. Nausea, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal effects are sometimes seen, and allergic reactions have been reported in humans.
So overall, the in vitro and laboratory animal evidence indicates it is plausible that milk thistle extract might have beneficial effects, though harmful effects in some situations could be expected as well. In humans, the clinical trials show weak evidence for benefit in diabetics and inconsistent but generally negative evidence for benefit in alcoholic or hepatitis-associated liver disease. Very little experimental, and apparently no high quality or controlled clinical research exists in dogs and cats. What there is suggests a benefit is possible. But we must bear in mind that preliminary, low-quality trials of milk thistle in humans looked promising but were not supported by subsequent better quality trials.
A clinical trial comparing animals with naturally occurring liver disease treated identically except for receiving either milk thistle or a placebo would be quite useful. In the meantime, use of the compound is not unreasonable given the suggestive low-level evidence, but it is not much more than a hopeful shot in the dark at this point.

[anonymous]

I think it is to keep the cost down. Vets have a hard time convincing pet owners to do a routine cleaning/extractions for $200 to $500, so to add another $200 to $300 for xrays puts some folks over the edge and running toward the homeopathic camp.

[anonymous]

I know, maybe a glass of wine or two. Think about the pets we had years ago, heck I never had dental cleanings (back then). Never mind the family dog.

I think the vets hesitate to recommend routne cleanings, xrays, until there are signs of trouble.
They really can’t tell, until they do xrays, but, inflammation to the gums is always a red flag,
no matter how good the teeth look below the gum line.

[anonymous]

Not unusual for a senior. I guarantee that you will feel better. Boone will too!

Over the last few years I have needed a couple of root canals, Not fun, but necessary.

[anonymous]

If you have financial concerns, explain that to the vet. There are payment plans and maybe some other ways to get help. The vet hopefully will be able to advise you as to what diagnostic tests are a priority and what isn’t and how you should proceed.

[anonymous]

I would head back to the vet, further diagnostic tests may be needed to get a correct diagnosis.

Better yet, if your vet has not been helpful, consult a Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist.

I doubt that changing foods will help this, you have to find out what the cause of the colitis and constipation is, first. Where xrays done? Lab work, CBC, etc…..

[anonymous]

I give my dogs raw carrots (or 1/2 of one) as a snack, maybe once a day. Orange carrot chunks are observed in the feces, they don’t digest them.
That’s just how it is, it’s not a bad thing. It’s a good fiber source, but, not too much, as that could result in loose stools.

[anonymous]

@ Marie
I forgot to mention. I don’t read the pre-op paperwork…I just sign it.
Too scary! :/

[anonymous]

@ Marie, Good luck tomorrow

[anonymous]

I like Fromm or Zignature or Nutrisca.

Fromm has the least amount of fiber, it depends on the dog as to which food will work best.
Start with a small bag and see how it goes.

In yesterday’s Herald, informative article, excerpt below:
http://www.bostonherald.com/lifestyle/2017/05/dog_s_abscess_leads_to_12_tooth_extractions
The Vet Dr. John De Jong Sunday, May 28,2017
Dog’s abscess leads to 12 tooth extractions
Q “My 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier has led a healthy life free of any problems. Last week, in what seemed like an overnight occurrence, her left cheek swelled up just under her eye. I rushed her to the vet, who told me that she had a tooth abscess and needed blood work, anesthesia and an extraction of the affected tooth. A few hours later, I found out that she needed 12 extractions. She went home on pain medication and antibiotics, and I received a whopping bill for the vet’s services. I know my vet had told me for a few years that she needed to have her teeth cleaned, but was this an unusual occurrence? At what point should I have had her teeth cleaned, and would the vet have needed to extract any teeth earlier? My dog has recovered beautifully and is eating, playing and, I dare say, has better breath.”
A “What your dog developed was something called a carnassial tooth abscess. It is not an uncommon finding in dogs whose teeth have developed a lot of tartar and plaque over years of not having proper dental cleanings by a veterinarian and owners not brushing the pet’s teeth at home. I readily admit that brushing a dog’s teeth can be difficult if the animal puts up a fuss, but if that’s the case, then let the professionals do their job”.
“I would suspect that your veterinarian knew when to advise a cleaning for your dog’s teeth. Had they been done as needed on a regular basis, some or all of the extractions might have been avoided­. As the teeth decay and bacteria gets under the gum line, the roots of the teeth become infected in their sockets and the teeth loosen as the infection affects the surrounding tissue. One might note bad breath, swelling of the gums, loosening of the teeth, pocketing around the teeth, root exposure and more. When things get too bad and the infected abscess develops without a place to drain, a swelling can develop on the cheek. In severe cases, it can even rupture, leading to a draining hole on the face.”

“Luckily, it is relatively easily remedied by extracting the teeth and using the kinds of medications your dog was given.”
“Dental health is important in pets and should be taken seriously by owners. You learned the expensive way, but luckily your dog will be fine.”

[anonymous]

Nutrisca has cat food, that must be what I was thinking of. My dogs have done well on their dog food. Check Chewy dot com

[anonymous]

Please, just take him to your vet that knows him the best, he will advise you accordingly as far as what testing is indicated, what medications are needed.
If your vet recommended antibiotics I wish you would have complied, because if the dog responded to the antibiotics maybe that may have confirmed it was infection.
And x-rays and ultrasounds, lab work are the best diagnostic tools they have.

Does your vet have emergency coverage today?
I would look into that. If the dog is not eating, drinking and lethargic I would consider it an emergency and go to the 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic, now, today.

I would stop wasting time on the internet and forums. No vet can (not that there are any here) or should diagnose your dog over the internet.
The examination by the vet is crucial and your dog already has a treating vet that has seen him.
And the folks giving you thinly veiled medical advice will just cause confusion and potential harm. Self-diagnosis is dangerous and a waste of time.
Get your dog the medical attention he obviously needs asap and trust your vet.

• This reply was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by anonymous.

[anonymous]

Only further diagnostic testing will allow the veterinarian to arrive at a diagnosis. He has had abnormal lab work, so something is wrong.
An increased white cell count usually makes veterinarians worried about either infection or cancer.
Additional diagnostic tests are needed to rule out infection. X-rays, ultrasounds especially of the stomach and lungs, kidneys (whatever the examining vet advises) to check for tumors.
I don’t want to scare you, but German Shepherds are vulnerable to certain types of cancer (genetic).
The sooner you get a diagnosis the sooner you can evaluate treatment options, he’s a young dog. Good luck
Ps: waterchestnuts are not toxic to dogs, however they may have upset his stomach.
But I would think if that was the case he’d be over it by now. Make sure he’s drinking water, if not, or he doesn’t eat times 3 days get him right back to the vet.
Consider the nearest 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic if he takes a turn for the worse and your vet isn’t available.

[anonymous]

Sorry about that. For some reason I thought Zignature made cat food too.
My bad.

[anonymous]

Ps: I know of what I speak. I lost a dog due to complications of Lyme disease.
Kidney disease. Yep, it happens.
Don’t be foolish, stop listening to homeopathic nonsense.

[anonymous]

Of course it is related to Lyme disease or some other neurological disorder. See a specialist asap, the dog should be loaded up with antibiotics as much as possible (sometimes several times) as determined by the examining veterinarian. to kill the tick borne illnesses.
The damage may be done.
Supplements are a scam.
See an internal medicine veterinary specialist asap, the dog has to be correctly diagnosed first.
Dr Google doesn’t count .

I might want to avoid potato/sweet potato, hard to digest for some dogs

Ps: I would listen to the advice of a veterinarian that has examined your dog over someone that works at the pet supply store. I know they mean well, just saying.

Natural Balance is loaded with potato and sweet potato which doesn’t agree with some dogs that have sensitive stomachs, hard to digest.

Another idea, mush the kibble together with a big tablespoon of Mighty Dog canned food and a splash of water.
Dogs love this stuff and it comes in small cans and can be found at the local market.
Use a plastic cover to store the food in the fridg, good for 3 days….maybe 5 (sniff first)
I had an old Peke and this was the only food he would eat, the vet said it was fine.
Maybe he would just prefer soft canned food? With seniors, sometimes you just have to go with what they are the most comfortable with.

[anonymous]

Just pick up the kibble after he has taken out the good stuff, store in the fridg and offer at the next meal time, eventually he will eat it. It should be good for at least a day or two, three at the most.
Ps: Give him 10 to 20 minutes to eat before picking up.

• This reply was modified 6 years, 12 months ago by anonymous.

I mix it in, in fact I have to use a dome dish for one of them so that he will eat slowly.

I also add a splash of water, they gobble everything down.

I am using Zignature Whitefish (the least sodium of the Zignatures) as a base and I am impressed.
I will try Salmon and Trout next.

[anonymous]

Thanks. I just added a suggestion in my prior post.
Yup, tough love.
I have found that dogs enjoy food the most when they are really hungry and haven’t eaten for a few hours. I avoid canned food, it is easier to find skinless, boneless chicken breast and such in the reduced price section of my market and cook and chop it up for them, cost effective too, you can always use your freezer.
Ps: make sure you boil/simmer the chicken long enough to eliminate the risk of salmonella.

[anonymous]

What is the big deal about adding a spoonful of real food (chopped cooked chicken breast, lean cooked hamburger, a bite of scrambled egg) mixed in with the kibble. Feed twice a day, measured amounts, pick up after 10 minutes and store in fridg offer at the next meal time.
Let him skip meals, as long as he is drinking water, if he doesn’t eat times 3 days (he will) consult your vet.
Always have fresh water available, in fact add a little to the kibble and or presoak kibble, especially for seniors.
All kibble is like cereal, no matter how much you pay for it, dry and boring.
How would you like to eat nothing but cheerios for the rest of your life? You might be inclined to skip a meal or two, lol
Ps: If you boil a chicken breast in a little water you will have a pseudo broth (3 day supply) that you can pour over the kibble along with a bite of chicken
Zignature is a quality dry food, maybe he would prefer that? My small breeds vomited when I fed them Orijen, also, the product has changed.

In response to:
“I think I am going to start putting her food in a few different bowls so she has to eat it more slowly – and see if that helps before spending money on different bowls..good idea!”

https://www.chewy.com/qt-dog-brake-fast-stainless-steel/dp/132965
QT Dog Brake-Fast Stainless Steel Dog Bowl is a brake-fast stainless steel bowl made to help slow down your dog while he’s eating. It’s the original slow down bowl that’s veterinarian tested and approved to help him feel satisfied and full in the process to reduce the risk of bloating. Works great with kibble or canned food and is dishwasher safe.
Key Benefits
Helps to reduce bloating by forcing your pet to slow down when they eat
Slower eating allows your pet to feel more full and reduces instances of re-eating
No tip shape and no skid ring around the bottom keeps the bowl secure and in place while your pet enjoys their meal
Works with both kibble or wet food so you can use the same bowl for all meals
Made from durable materials and are dishwasher safe for easy clean up

Has she had a senior workup? Lab work? Dental check? X-rays if indicated?
There are many reasons why this would happen. Only a veterinarian that examines your dog can diagnose.
I would make an appointment with a veterinarian close to home, asap, that would be a good place to start.
Find a veterinarian that you trust and can work with.
Sudden changes in appetite and behavior are red flags, could be something benign, or something quite serious. No one over the internet can or should try to diagnose your dog.
Best of luck.

[anonymous]

Also, is she gulping down her food too fast? If so, you may want to get one of those dome dishes designed to slow down her eating.
Hopefully her issues are stress related and as she feels safe in her new home, they will go away. If they don’t, I’m sure your vet may suggest additional diagnostic testing.
Otherwise, I would give her a little time to adjust.
Can she tolerate a bite of chopped up broiled chicken liver mixed in with her kibble? It’s yummy and fattening. Of, course, if your vet wants her on a strict diet for now, listen to him, not me.

[anonymous]

How about 4 or 5 small meals several times a day instead of 1 or 2 big meals. Same amount of food, just divided up.
I would presoak the kibble overnight (fridg). I would stick with the prescription food till she’s stable or as your vet recommends.
When you go to commercial dog food, I would look for a kibble with no potato, such as Zignature Whitefish. Some dogs with sensitive stomachs find potato and sweet potato hard to digest.
Make sure she is drinking water, if not, add a splash to the presoaked kibble.
Continue to work with your vet, and I wouldn’t dispense over the counter meds unless okayed by the vet. Good luck
Ps: ask your vet if it would be okay to add a bite of boiled chopped chicken breast or homemade plain chicken broth (no onion) to her kibble?

[anonymous]

I thought I would bump up this thread. Nutriscan is being talked about in “comments”
I no longer post in comments (by choice)
So I am hoping the folks that are considering buying Nutriscan will see this.
Intradermal skin testing done by a veterinary dermatologist is the most accurate way to identify environmental allergies. There is no cure for allergies but there is effective treatment, often the expertise of a specialist is needed.
Food allergies are rare and food sensitivities tend to fluctuate.
Often a vet will recommend an elimination diet/prescription food to identify food sensitivities.

“Chinese Herb vs Metronidazole for Diarrhea in Dogs: An Example of the Problems with Alternative Medicine Research”

[anonymous]

As with most choices in the medical realm, there are both pros and cons of using colloidal silver for dogs, but for most people the decision comes down to ready availability, price, and history of success. Colloidal silver is usually considered an “alternative therapy” drug and is often used in place of antibiotics. It has a long history of use, and proponents often describe it as something of a cure-all. People give it to their dogs to treat almost any sort of infection or ailment. In most cases colloidal silver isn’t approved by government regulatory authorities for use as medication, though, and there can be concerns about strength, potency, and soundness of preparation. The lack of regulation can lead to a lot of variety in the products that are available, and there isn’t always a lot of consistency between brands. The risk of overdosing is rare but can happen, and prolonged use can lead to a number of canine health concerns.
Broad Spectrum of Uses
One of the biggest “pros” of colloidal silver for dogs is that it can be used to treat a huge range of issues. It is widely available in many natural food and health stores, and it isn’t usually nearly as expensive as the antibiotics and other pharmaceutical drugs that are often prescribed in its place.

Regarding supplements: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-supplements-herbs-dangerous-2017-5
On the back of virtually any bottle of supplements are two words that strike fear into the heart of Pieter Cohen.
The words are printed inside a small square on the back of the bottle beneath bold lettering which claims to list the supplement’s ingredients: “Proprietary blend.”
Under the protective umbrella of these two words, a supplement maker does not have to list all of the details of what’s in its product, according to Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
This “allows companies to put in ingredients without telling us the amounts,” says Cohen, who spoke on a recent panel put on by The Forum, an event series organized by the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. “And those tend to be the higher-risk product.”
The risks can be serious. Several supplements have been linked with an increase in certain cancers; others have been tied to an elevated risk of kidney stones. Although this research has been widely published, supplements continue to send roughly 20,000 people to the emergency room every year.

Cohen likes to compare the safety framework for supplements with that for food. “In food,” says Cohen, “they have to meet what’s known as the “generally recognized as safe,” or GRAS, standard. That’s not the standard for ingredients introduced to supplements. The standard is not anywhere near that level of scrutiny.”
There are some laws regulating dietary supplements, however. In 1994, Congress established the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to address the labeling and safety of supplements, and several more recent regulations mandate that manufacturers observe what are known as “good manufacturing practices,” or GMPs, including ingredient testing.
Under the DSHEA, ingredients listed under the “proprietary blend” category don’t have to include information about individual amounts of ingredients in that category. Instead, they only have to list the total amount and list the ingredients within the “blend” in order by their weight.
This can be a huge problem when it comes to dosages, as certain amounts of the listed ingredients could have dangerous side effects or negative interactions with prescription drugs.
“From a regulatory perspective they’re all presumed to be safe but the reality is many people….are harmed by supplements,” says Cohen
