Pinscher 8 years old

[Lylian]

Good nigth My name is Lylian and I have an 8-year-old mini pinscher

She is not operated (spay) and in recent months I have seen that it has small balls around the nipples.
I don't know why and I worry about it. I'm new in this forum and I appreciate the help.
Thanks

Welcome Lylian!

Your pup's adorable!

Are the balls soft or firm??

How's her BEAM (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood)??

 

[Lylian]

Thansks for answering Dr. Feinman. The ball above moves and is a little hard, but the masses around the nipples are soft. She doesn't complain about anything.

 

[Dr. Jeff]

You're welcome Lylian. ?

Do these come and go based on her heats?

Does she get behavior changes after heats such as carrying around toys or nesting that may be signs of hormonal imbalance and "false pregnancy"?

These can be anything from accumulation of milk in the breast tissue, mastitis or ductal cysts, which a vet exam would tell you.

Here's a thorough conventional article by an open-minded '85 intern mate friend of mine (who is at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston):

thanks Dr. Jeff for the info. Could you please give me the information of a good holistic veterinarian in Canada. I live in Mississauga near Toronto.
And also What kind of homeopathic medicine can I use in my dog to dilute the dough?
Thanks

 

[Dr. Jeff]

You're welcome Lylian.

@Dr. Christina may know a good holistic vet in your area.

To choose a homeopathic medicine, more info would be needed.

Fo example, how's your pup's BEAM?

How about other symptoms that would reflect her totality?

In the meantime perhaps focus on hot compressing the areas of swelling while you improve her energy by feeding mainly fresh food and promoting playing outside.

Great question Lylian!?

Good afternoon,
I saw the videos. I already tried several types of healthy food with her and yesterday I gave her a bone with meat, she ate it without problem but after a while she vomit, and 2 hours later she vomit again.
Today she doesn't want to eat anything anymore, I gave him several options that he normally likes, but nothing.

and Dr. Christina has not responded to my text, to know which veterinarian I can take her here in Canada.

thanks for your help

Mississauga near Toronto - I am working on finding a great one for you, Lylian, for your local needs. Homeopaths in the US can work with you by phone and since you are a member that includes Dr. Jeff.
