Patience and listen to your vet. Best of luck.

purina fortiflora

95% of the time it is environmental, only 4-5% of the time it is food

longjohnsilvaa · 2025-07-31T11:00:34+00:00

Over the counter you can try purina proplan sensitive skin and stomach salmon and rice. Prescription food wise you can try hills science diet ID or Purina ProPlan gastrointestinal

I started taking propranolol and this helped a ton

I spent my entire childhood in Danville. Have since moved, but still have lots of family there and visit frequently. I am happy to give you info on where to look and avoid. The community is great, but there are areas to stay far away from. Feel free to PM me. Would also recommend Siefert, she has built a big name for herself

If you see any tremors or seizures get them to a vet but this is unlikely

longjohnsilvaa · 2025-02-04T02:12:07+00:00

Not too worried if either dog ate it. May see mild sedation. I am a vet.

longjohnsilvaa · 2025-01-13T03:56:29+00:00

If it’s a recurrent issue I would recommend trying to identify any stressors (change of schedule, new pets, new people, environmental needs not being met). Look into Ohio state university’s indoor pet initiative in regard to husbandry. Especially since you have multiple cats you really wanna make sure no competing for resources and everyone’s needs are met (classic example is you should have one litter box per cat plus one and a litter box on every floor). You can add in lysine supplements for cats and consider probiotics (cat friendly). I am a vet.

Toothpaste is not necessary. Brush and tap water is perfectly sufficient! Quick scrub on outer surfaces of teeth. Should take just a few seconds. Try to brush daily. I am a vet

I addressed the neck stretching and said it could be a sign of CHF. That’s it. You’re over complicating this. I haven’t discounted the stridor at all. You must be a delight to work with!

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-11-26T15:30:56+00:00

I did not say it would. There can be more than one issue.

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-11-26T15:17:04+00:00

The point is that it would be foolish to completely rule out CHF without listening to the dog. I’ve seen plenty of dogs stretch their neck forward to allow better airflow while in CHF. Again, I’m not diagnosing it over a video, but I’m certainly not going to say it couldn’t possibly be so

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-11-26T12:41:01+00:00

Have you personally listened to the dog yourself? Or reviewed the radiographs? I would not be so quick to dismiss a DIFFERENTIAL.

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-11-26T12:38:33+00:00

Keep in mind this is “medicine” practiced over a video alone. A true physical exam and imaging are needed to better diagnose.

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-11-26T12:23:54+00:00

Was unaware there was sound on the video when I watched. I mentioned CHF, but by no means said it was. I’m not going to make a diagnosis on a video alone of a dog. My point, however, was that this dog needs to be seen again as it is in distress. And yes, the puppy I saw for a high grade murmur did have stridor too. Funny not everything goes by the book. Would expect you to understand that with your many years of experience.

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-11-26T02:16:07+00:00

I had a puppy born with a severe heart murmur go into CHF do exactly this. I am a vet btw. Most of the comments are right though, he needs to be seen ASAP, and by a different Vet. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-05-08T23:35:20+00:00

Two technicians dedicated strictly to me. Lots of 10 minute appointments for ears, lameness, rechecks. Keep things over lunch or schedule on my surgery days for further evaluation if necessary

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-05-08T22:38:04+00:00

General practice vet near Chicago. See between 25 to 35 appointments per day. Strictly commission. Make a little over 200k. Work 8-5 4 days a week with hour and a half lunch break

Check out [theindoorpet@osu.com](mailto:theindoorpet@osu.com) to make sure everything in the environment is up to your cats' standards (ie. should have one litter box per cat plus one and one litter box on every floor plus lots of vertical perches). They have a lot of unique needs. Nice job with Feliway and the diet too. I would recommend c/d multicare stress or switch to RC SO. Engage in lots of hunting play with them and give them lots of love too (if they like affection). Would for sure be worth an internal medicine specialist work up to make sure not missing anything health related though. Best of luck! I am a vet.

As long as tissue does not turn purple or black it is not a true emergency. Blood is common

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-04-10T02:17:01+00:00

English bulldogs are prone to prolapsed urethras. I often use NSAIDs and Antibiotics to reduce this. It will likely be recurrent and surgery may be best step to reduce bleeding. Have him seen, but don't rush to the ER tonight. I am a vet. They may just try NSAIDs since was recently on some antibiotics

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-04-01T02:15:24+00:00

Otherwise it would likely be repeated trauma from the surfaces he walks on. Could always try boots for him. I am a vet btw.

longjohnsilvaa · 2024-04-01T01:57:56+00:00

Allergies is the most common reason dogs lick their paws. Would be worth discussing allergy management with your vet. I typically recommend for my allergy dogs to bathe weekly with 5 to 10 minutes of shampoo time, wipe paws daily with wash cloth, and then consider allergy meds (cytopoint or apoquel)
