Vaginal yeast infectionQ: My dog has an odor which i believe is a vaginal yeast infection. in humans, there is normally a suppository that has to be inserted in the vaginal area to get rid of the infection. what course of action is taken in dogs? A: You should have the pet examined by your veterinarian. if there is a vaginal yeast infection he can prescribe an oral antifuungal medication.
Preventic plus collar for older dogQ: I read the information about putting a collar of this type on an older pet. i have a lab which is 11 years old. he weighs way over 100# and has the fatty tumors all over his body. he is still quite active and we live in the woods with a pond in our back yard. i want to have the best product for his age. A: Preventic collar is fine as long as does not get collar submerged in water from swimming which will inactivate it. if this occurs, better product would be front line

Our dog and accidents in houseQ: I wrote to you about 1 week ago about our dog. he is 6 years old and has off an on done messes on the living room rug. i thought that it was a manipultive jesture on the dogs part for he does not like it when we leave him to go to work or school. he does not do it all the time but, usually after we are home for vacations or summer time when he is with us more and then we go back to the routine that he is alone for 6 hours or so. we left for a weekend and my oldest son was home for the most part and and when he came in to feed him in the am after being gone for 6 hours in the night time theirss was a big mess on the rug. so, i thought i would change his food and then that would help his digestive system, ( we got him lamb and rice iam's) now he won't eat. so i've mixed the old chicken and cornmeal etc. with the l&r. he still won't eat. i don't know what is up. any help is greatly appreciated. A: If dog not eating, needs vet visit and exam and workup to find why. too many possibilities here that can cause loss of appetite
