Avatar n tn but its only one opinion, I urge you to speak to a Veterinary oncologist and question them....just want to say good luck and God bless to you your dear little girl http://www.vetinfo.com/feline-fibrosarcoma-removal-surgery.
Avatar f tn Most referral or veterinary teaching hospitals , or veterinary schools have veterinary opthalmolgists. Ask your vet for a referral to one in your area. Don't be afraid, just explain to him that you do not want to happen with your other pug to happen to her. If are still uncomfortable with this you can search your self online at: American College of Veterinary Opthalmologists, or the American Society of Veterinary Opthalmologists (http://www.asvo.org/). Good Luck!
Avatar f tn It is especially sad that your dog was alone when he died but I doubt he suffered very much since following orthopedic surgery, extended release pain medicine, such as a Fentanyl patches are used, as well as other strong pain medications. Lastly, there may have been microscopic metastasis, not visible on X-Rays or in blood work in your dog, and if so he may have suffered a long recuperation for little benefit.

Avatar n tn It has been shown that veterinary acupuncture in conjunction with anti-inflammatories (steroids) and analgesics (tramadol and others) is highly effective and may be more helpful than anti-inflammatories and analgesics alone. If surgery is not recommended, or if you choose not to have surgery performed, than acupuncture is worth a try.
Avatar f tn The reason may be infection, or something more serious, and veterinary exam is needed to see what the swellings are. An allergic reaction is unlikely, since allergic reactions usually cause a swollen face/muzzle or hives. As long as he is eating, drinking and breathing normally, then it can probably wait until Monday, when your regular veterinarian is open. You can also look online for low cost veterinary clinics in your area.
Avatar f tn nothing much is being said in forums dedicated to veterinarians at this time. Also, I have personally contacted a toxicologist, a veterinary internist, a veterinary oncologist and a veterinary nutritionist and none of them have given me any evidence that this should be a concern. The best source of information about your pet's nutrition and its affect on the pet is your veterinarian.
Avatar f tn Dogs with fleas or allergies commonly scratch and traumatize themselves, creating a secondary bacterial skin infection/rash that makes the itch worse, and this is something that needs veterinary care. If skin infection is present, it is treated with antibiotics for 3-4 weeks and mild antibacterial shampoos.
Avatar f tn I am going to get off the Fentanyl patches and put on Methadone using Suboxone as a bridge .I have never heard of this med called Suboxone.I am on 200mcg of Fentanyl how long will it take to get off the fentanyl?
Avatar n tn Whether he has bloat or the other problem that I suspect, which is disk disease (spinal disease) he would require veterinary attention since they are both very serious and may require medications or other therapies, such as surgery. I don't know where you are writing from but in the States you could apply at most veterinary offices or online for a Care Credit Card. which is a low to no interest credit card that can only be used for medical, dental, or veterinary bills.
Avatar n tn the doctor gave u very good advice..u must seek veterinary care for ur pet......if ppl cannot afford medical care for their animals when they get them then perhaps they should not get the animal.Pet peeve of mine-my animal is sick and i can't afford to treat it!grrrr.!
Avatar f tn Good Lord! That is a really BAD infestation, and your dog needs veterinary assistance to get of them. Your dog is probably malnourished with that amount of worms, so please don't wait. This is not a problem for an over-the-counter treatment.
Avatar f tn Hi, have you taken a veterinary drug?
Avatar n tn I have personally seen very positive results with adjunctive holistic veterinary medicine for kidney disease. Please research holistic veterinary medicine websites, such as the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association website, Chi Institute and others.
Avatar f tn He is currently on a high dose of fentanyl in the patch form. My husband and I agree that it is time to get off all narcotics. He is starting to taper off on Monday. This doctor prescribed Topamax 100mg, Seroquel 100mg, and Depakote 500mg. My question is... After being on these for 4 days he is a zombie! He is really sleepy and his speech is so slurred that I have a hard time understanding him. He is also really unsteady on his feet.
Avatar m tn I know what I would do if I were you. I would put everything I have into a consultation with a veterinary nutritionist -if you possibly can, And work out a home-cooked diet based on advice from him/her. Some intensive research online may help... It will be hard work I am sure and may be confusing sometimes, but I think that is the way I would go. Sorry to project my own opinions....
Avatar n tn Aluminum hydroxide (ALOH) is currently recommended by Board Certified Veterinary Internists at the University of Davis, veterinary hospital as the product of choice to use in pets to effectively bind and eliminate excess phosphorus from the body. It has effectively replaced Epikacin for this purpose. Epikacin, is an old Calcium based product, formerly used to bind excess phosphorus and help eliminate it from the body, in pets with kidney failure.
Avatar m tn If the pain is still there, obviously the Fentanyl is not working and you need to address what is actually happening. Fentanyl CAN relieve pain, depending... It also dopes up your mind and body. You have no way of knowing this until you can think clearly and the Fentanyl prevents that clear thinking. Find out what is really going on and GET OFF THE FENTANYL, THIS STUFF IS DANGEROUS!
Avatar n tn interactions between prozac and fentanyl. My husbands meds were recently doubled. Prozac now 40mg and fentanyl 50mcg. and he is now talking in his sleep every night and constantly scratching at himself in his sleep.
Avatar f tn I blindly went along with my doctor prescribing the Fentanyl patch along with other meds for BT pain. I realized the Fentanyl had a lot of negative things for me (like increase in sugar intake, nodding off when I stopped doing anything, no short term memory.) Do a search on Fentanyl here and see what people have gone through with it. Personally I think it should only be used for end of life pain. If you have reason to think you won't ever come off it, then it would be okay.
Avatar f tn So I would just discuss with your doctor the fact that the fentanyl is no longer working. I have heard that fentanyl tends to work a lot longer than longer acting opioids in pill form before effectiveness begins to wane. The options that your doctor will most likely present to you are, an increase in fentanyl (which will require wearing a couple of patches versus just one), an increase or change in breakthrough pain medication and/or an addition of a long acting medication in pill form.
Avatar n tn The fentanyl should manage your pain much more effectively than the methadone... well I believe it will based on my personal experiences. And I have never taken opana, so I am not sure how much it would help. Good Luck.
Avatar m tn I don't think I'd be inclined to think of something having to do with the central nervous system, I'd lean more toward a structural problem with maybe a narrowing of the spinal cord in the cervical region impinging on a nerve or nerves that causes the tremors in the legs. What breed of dog is he?
