Staph & Bath? by
Channeledbymodem
Greetings,
I have a cocker who is recovering from a small staph infection on
his jowl. Is there any reason not to bathe him? And if so, is there
any shampoo, conditioner etc. a groomer is likely to use that would
be beneficial or undesirable?
Thanks much,
Ron

Suggestions for fly problem? by
Brian Henderson
It's that time of year again and the flies are out in force this year
and going after the ears of two of my dogs. I feel really sorry for
them and wish there was some way to really keep the flies off but
every product I've used has offered very temporary relief (less than
an hour most of the time)...

aspirin or remidyl? by
Dave
Rimadyl is more powerful than aspirin, and can be very effective for
arthritis. It's definitely worth the money.
Six years ago our dog Sherman, a Basset/Corgi mix, had arthritis.
Aspirin didn't work, but with Rimadyl he had another 5 years of
comfortable walking. One potential problem with Rimadyl...

Tick? by
Michael K McCleary
I am currently house-sitting a cut little 12 year old beagle mix, and just
found a black bump on his ear. I first thought it was a tick, but it seems
to have hair growing from/through it. Is this a tick?
It is black, the size of a pea, and has no inflammation around it.

Osteosarcoma by

Max had his second chemo today. This time it was doxyrubicyn (sp). First
was Cisplastin. This was a breeze. He was full of energy running around
(three legs) and very hungry. It was like he enjoyed it.

Hello,
I have used the alcohol/boric acid/gentian violet solution for my

has been used on other areas...paws, for hotspots, etc. The

I searched dejanews to see if this has been discussed in the past. It has (a

torture now for her, so I hesitate to put her through that. Due to my...
