Nothing Replaces a Good Vet and some are much, much better than others.
Ask around and ask lots of questions. Higher
cost does not necessarily mean a better
vet. If it's serious, get a second
opinion. It COULD
save your dog's life.

Alternative
Meds & Treatments
Many
of us have been frustrated with conventional treatments for a variety of
dog ailments including food regurgitation, mast cell tumor
treatment, allergies, deaf dog and blind dog information, etc. There is
tremendous knowledge about these and many other problems and issues in the Rescue
Community.
Here
are some thoughts about some of these issues in an informal format and
there are people you can ask questions directly and long after the vet community has given
up, many of us are still in there swinging for our pooches

Dead
Animal Rolling De-Stinker
A vet-recommended recipe for skunk and dead animal odor can be
used as shown below:
1 bottle hydrogen peroxide
1/2 bottle water
1/4 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon dog shampoo
Mix hydrogen peroxide with water. Add baking soda and dog shampoo. Mix and pour into a squirt bottle/sprayer. Spray entire bottle onto dog, being careful not to get it directly into his eyes/nose. Let everything stand for 5 to 10 minutes while working the solution into his fur. Rinse.
Hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabrics, so proceed with caution. It can also affect color of dog fur.

Living
with a Megaesophagus Dog
Megaesophagus
is a condition in which the muscles in the esophagus become weak
and stretch out, creating pockets that prevent food from
reaching the stomach. The condition causes regurgitation,
loss of weight, and can lead to pneumonia if not managed.
But Megaesophagus is NOT a death sentence! In most cases,
adjustments to the feeding routine such as vertical feeding will
help manage the condition and allow the dog to live a relatively
normal life.
