I have a 16 year ols shitzu, poodle cross and she is showing signs of instability and unsureness on her feet, even where sounds are coming from. Do dogs get alzheimers or dementia? She is otherwise in good health. Sometimes carries on like a 16 yr old person!

dodgy old dog
Posted on 2009/01/02 by User -
after many vet visits she still has not gotten any better. I was told fleas and food allergies but it wasn't either. Just wondering what could be the problem. Someone said it looked like mange.

I took my 14 year old cat to the vet for a horrible ear mite infection and now, four days later, one of her eyes are dilated. The dilated eye is unresponsive to light and light bothers her. This has never happened before. Can you help please.

Smelly ear + one crusty dew pad
Posted on 2009/01/19 by UserMy pomeranian has been sad and lethargic for a few days now, she has a bad smelling ear in one ear (I have cleaned it with a q-tip and vinegar now) but she also has crusty white-ish colored paw pad on just her bottom dew claw pad. I have never noticed this about her before (her paw). Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi My dog is 3 years old and maybe once a week in the middle of the night wakes up and consistently shakes her head and scraches her ear and one ear is lower than the other and she looks frustrated and sore. I have given her fea treatments but this still keeps happening. After a couple of hours she will evenually get back to sleep and then will be fine in the morning until another week or so later when it will happen again. I am not sure what it is or what to do. Please help.

vet can't find a dx
Posted on 2009/01/26 by ShellyOur golden has not been himself for about 4 months. He initially started with very bad breath, and lethargy, and fever. I took him to the vet and they sedated him to check his teeth, and saw nothing negative. He was put on antibiotics, and Pepcid. He started getting diarriha so they told me to stop the Pepcid. He got better, but once the antibiotics stopped the symptoms returned. The vet did an xray of the stomach, again negative. He was put on a stronger dose of antibiotics. Again, symptoms returned after he was finished with meds. Vet did stool sample for worms, and again negative, antibiotics were again prescribed but for longer duration. Again, symptoms...
