Sick berner

2003-01-30 Thread Dazyr
Laura, my Max had a very similar situation, and he was initially on Doxycycline, but it wasn't doing anything, so the vet switched him to another drug, similar but not the same. I can't remember what it was but it helped. I bought chicken at Boston chicken and went into the vet to feed him twice

Frontline info

Chance had the same reaction to Frontline, and one of the techs at my vet, who is not in today, said to bath him immediatly in some kid of soap that I couldn't remember, so I called Frontline and they said to use any regular dish soap like Palmolive, etc. It pulls the residue off the skin and

Yellow burn spots on lawn

I see Petsmart has 2 products to neutralize a dogs urine, therefore preventing those awful yellow spots. One is a spray on the flood, and one is a tablet. Does anyone have any experience or opinion about these? Tailwags, Daisy, Chance, and

Invisible Fence

2003-03-12 Thread Dazyr
We have had the Invisible Fence almost since it came on the market, over 16 years. We have had Sheepdogs, a Golden, Mutts, an Irish Settler, and Bernese. Two were very stubborn, but it worked for them, sometimes using a stronger battery, or longer prongs. I do have to say that the only problem

Paw Licking

One of my berner boys age 17 months, started biting his paws when he was about 6 months. I thought it was the Frontline, but started experimenting, and eliminated Chicken and there has been a big improvement. I have learned to read all labels, because sometimes even a dog biscuit called

Barking berner

My 5 1/2 month berner boy has practically from day one, been a barker. He is also a talking boy, but that's fine! I have tried distracting him, giving him a treat, saying NO, and a few other things. Nothing has worked and he is getting worse and louder, to the point of bothering my neighbors

I have done some extensive research on this issue, and found Petshealth care plan to be the best for us. Their website is easy to get around, and the 3 levels of plans are very easy to understand. The most important part, to me, is that they consider Cancer a normal illness, not a heredity

Strange Poop

2003-08-10 Thread Dazyr
I have had the same jellylike poop, which seems to result from my dogs being at the beach and eating shells! It irritates their colon or bowels. If it doesn't go away, there is a pill your vet can give him. Oliver's nick name for a while was Rocky, because he would dig up even the smallest
