Hoping for help with sensitive ears
Posted on 2008/02/11 by StaceyI have a 7 year old Rhodesian ridgeback. He has had many health issues and not so great luck with vets. He has very sensitive ears, and has had problems with them before, however now they are oozing a smelly yellow pink liquid and I need a fix to help him they are obviously bothering him, but I just dont have a great vet to go to to get some help. Is there anything you can suggest to help get him better

Cat with wound

It is growing in size as he won't stop scratching it. It doesn't appear infected and we are trying to put ointment on it as often as we can. Any ideas on what to do?

i think my dog is dying
Posted on 2008/02/20 by rebeccai think my friends dog is dying. its lost most of its hair and the first layer of its skin in a lot of places. hes covered in scabs and raw skin. hes really sick and doesnt want to eat and hes just laying there and even when he puts his head up he keeps his eyes closed. hes in a lot of pain. and he starts heaving and breathing heavy and i think its death rattles. what can we do? its the middle of the night and we cant even go to a pet hospital because they require a $500 deposit and we dont have it. what can i do?
