    6mo goldendoodle post hospitalization for lung issue

    Hi Drs, Leo is acting normal, maybe a little lower energy than he usually has. His BEAM is medium. His RRR remains high. It's very hot in my house - he has a fan on him but no AC. I have an appointment with a vet tomorrow and a holistic vet in late Nov. I am wondering if he's always had this...

    Hi all, Leo just came home from the hospital. Two days in an oxygen chamber because he was having trouble breathing. He almost collapsed on Sunday morning on our walk, and I took him immediately to the emergency room. X ray showed some inflammation in his lungs. They are not sure what caused...

    Heartguard for puppy in Hawaii?

    Thanks Dr Jeff! Will do. 1. Is HG regular or HG plus preferred? I 2. Do you have advice on where to get this most conveniently and affordably? I see Petco clinics administer it for $22/dose but I would rather own the medicine and administer it on its own. Not sure where to get it and it seems...

    5 month old puppy severe separation anxiety

    Hi Dr. Jeff, Thanks for the recommendations. Leo has had a good amount of socializing his first few months. We went out in public here and there, to stores etc. We live on a loud street, and he met dogs a few times when he was really young and increasingly more in the last three weeks...
