Bone cancer in dog
My 9yo male neutered Golden Retriever dog died 11/18 this year. He had bone cancer when I got him. His general health held up well under my holistic vet (I also had a regular vet for him). He had a robust appetite, clear eyes, great attitude, loved going for walks even with his bum leg. A few days ago, I had an appointment with my holistic vet and she prescribed some phosphorous for him. Right after giving him the phosphorous he lost his appetite completely and began to have severe breathing problems with coughing. My question - in your opinion could the phosphorous have caused a cardiac condition, in addition to the loss of appetite (which my holistic vet admits could happen) or was it just coincidental. I'm not out to cause any trouble I just want to know for the future. I have 3 other dogs that I don't want to make a mistake with if they need help down the line. |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
