    Better or worse to skip the "booster" dose of a vaccine?

    Thank you everyone! I am relieved to hear this and just wanted expert opinions that the booster was better left alone. I understand these rescue organizations feel its their duty, so this is where we are starting from :) And yes Dr Christina - I am in process of forming his health care team...

    Better or worse to skip the "booster" dose of a vaccine?

    Hello - I recently adopted a 4yr old pup from a rescue organization who gave this little guy the works for vaccines. :( They told me that I'm supposed to get him his "booster" within 2 weeks for Duramune Max 5-CvK/4L, which is described as : " vaccination of healthy dogs 6 weeks or older as...

    Guidance on great beginnings for a newly-adopted adult dog

    After an absolutely devastating loss of my 15yr old pup, I am now in process of looking for another rescue to bring into my home. Whether or not this is a good idea while I am still in grieving mode is another story for a separate thread. For this thread, I would love to know what advice...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Hi Dr Jeff - Annie is showing quite a bit of discomfort now when I attempt to get her to eat. She hasn't eaten anything since Tuesday. She tried to take a little food that I offered today (licked the tiniest amount from my hand) since she looked hungry and then seemed very disturbed that she...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    I am wondering if I should get her into the vet for a B12 injection to help with her energy and potential anemia with lack of eating? I also have some Sucralfate from the emergency vet which I understand is good for ulcers, I only gave her two doses originally then decided to stop since wasn't...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    I also just forwarded several pictures of her muzzle/tongue since I am still really suspecting something not right there. Please let me know if you would like for me to also post the photos in the forum here for convenience?

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Hi Dr Jeff, just a quick Annie update : She had a chance to see her favorite friend last night during our pre-bedtime outing (9:30pmish) and was quite thrilled although her excitement lasted shorter than usual but she was excited and even ran towards him (Connor) to greet him. She did manage to...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    I am using the original solution. Should I be making up a new batch each day? Clearly I do not totally know what I am doing!

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Friday-Sunday I was dosing 1x per day (using q-tip on the gums) with 1 pellet diluted in 1 cup of filtered water. Succession 10x before each dose. I don't notice any changes within hours of a dose. Yesterday (Monday) I thought I would try giving an evening dose as well. On Saturday after her...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Thank you Dr Jeff! Her weight on Saturday was 21.8 lbs, which is in range for her although her healthiest weight is probably 20lbs so she was carrying a few extra pounds (maybe 23lbs) before these latest challenges started. Regarding her tongue, it isn't getting worse, but now I'm wondering...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Hi Dr Jeff and Dr Christina - I'm happy to report that Annie did not throw up last night or this morning and ate a full packet of chicken/mackeral last night! Her energy still pretty low, she wasn't quite as interested in her corgie friend Otis this morning as normal but was still interested in...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Hi Dr Christina - yes I did :) She did a very brief physical exam - I posted her notes above - she didn't find anything notable but normal heart rate, pulses, color of tongue/gums, didn't think anything looked swollen (I will admit that her muzzle and tongue still look slightly swollen to me...

    Annie blood in stool with potential bowel blockage - appetite decrease - and potential kidney disease

    Hi Dr Jeff. thanks for checking in - her appetite seems a little better today (she ate twice) although energy seems slightly lower than yesterday - she seems to have a bit less stamina on our walks than yesterday. We took her back to the nature center for a nice slow trail hike (late morning...
