Very serious problem with my dog!! Help Needed!?
My dog a german shephered , 11 months old.
He had tick fever (Babesiosis) when he was 7 months but we cured it.
But 2 months ago he once again had it. We took him to the vet and he gave 4 Berenil doses during these two months. Meanwhile his liver was enlarged, and as the vet’s instructions i gave him lasix tablets.
Last month, he completely lost his appetite and stopped eating. I give him liquids from a syringe and he eats very small amount of food.
His urine was very yellow for about 2 weeks. I consulted the doctor as well. But now his liver is enlarged once again as he says. And his eyes, stomach and some parts of his skin is yellowish..
Today the doctor did some blood tests too.
Please i need your help too. Tell me what going on with him. Is that curable?
Is it all right to vaccinate him with this ‘Imizol’ injection while he is not eating and this weaknesses?? How do i cure him???
Is there an online Mexican pharmacy where I can buy b12 injections and lasix?

My lasix (lisinopril) not working….more swelling…?
I have been on lasix for awhile now but stopped about a month ago after my brother died cuz I didn’t have the money to go back to the dr. to get my meds prescribed again after my refills went out. For awhile I had no effect on me not taking meds then all of a sudden I got a sinus crap and my body started swelling again, feet, legs and abdomen is swollen. I got back on all my meds but my lasix is still not working…i’m still swollen and feel like crap and it’s been 3 weeks i’ve been taking them. I also take bp meds and cholesterol meds along with my lasix and potassium. Why would the lasix just not work for me anymore???
also forgot to add that i have been extreemly craving ice to eat….I eat it all day long and drink glasses upon glasses of tea and water and have now added 8oz. of cranberry juice with ice….i love to eat the ice after the drink is gone but most of the time I won’t even wait….is this weird?
Animal specialist or Medical Knowledge urgently needed?
PLEASE HELP…URGENT!! Animal specialists and/or medically knowledgeable people needed! I am seeking the help of any health care/medically knowledgeable people for advice. I have a seventeen year old mixed breed cat. She has always been quite healthy. About 3 or 4 years ago, she developed a ‘hyper active thyroid.’ She has been on Tapazole ever since then, and has responded very well to it. She is currently on a dosage of 5 mg, 1/2 a tablet in the morning, and one whole tablet in the evenings. About two months ago I took her for her regular checkup and my vet heard a “gallop” in her heart. We started her on 2.5 mg of Amlodipine, 1/4 of a tablet every three days. Things seemed to be going well, I brought her in a couple of weeks later, and the vet said her heart sounded great, and to keep the treatment going. Two days later, my cat was having very labored breathing and I brought her into an emergency vet clinic. They told me that her lungs were filled with fluid, and that they had to “tap her chest.” They were able to successfully remove the fluid, and I took her the next day to see a heart specialist. They did an echocardiogram on her, and even though her heart seemed to look all right, we started to treat her for heart disease. We took her off the Amlodipine and put her on Lasix (12.5 mg, half a tablet twice a day) AND Enalapril (2.5 mg, half a tablet twice a day). She remained on those medications for a few weeks. Meanwhile, every single Friday she was rechecked, and the fluid was always back. We had to continually remove the fluid (through chest taps). Finally, the cardiologist ran some kind of blood work, to look at where her ‘heart values’ were at. He said that if it was in fact heart disease, that the numbers would be “through the roof.” When we got the results back, all of her heart values were fine. We were both surprised. So, then he said it could possibly be “vasculitis?” Something where the vessels in her body were leaking. So, we put her on Prednisone (5 mg, half a tablet twice a day). She was on that for a couple of weeks…still, every Friday like clockwork, the fluid was back. Always around the same amount…no more, no less. In a last ditch effort, thinking maybe it could be some kind of fungus, we have put her on Doxycycline (liquid form, 100 mg/ml…I give her 0.2 mls twice a day). We also know that it is not cancer, because we’ve run the fluid (from her lungs) on two separate occasions, to check for cancer. And, it keeps coming back clean. The fluid that they keep removing is perfectly clear…not cloudy or straw-like at all. This is what we know right now: It is not heart disease, leaky vessels, fungus, or cancer. She is currently on a half a tablet of Prednisone (twice a day), 0.2 mls of Doxycycline (twice a day), and Tapazole (half a tablet in the morning, whole tablet at night). Other than the fluid in her lungs, she is PERFECTLY fine. She doesn’t show any signs of discomfort or pain at all. She is eating and drinking normally, she is playful and affectionate…you would never even know that there is anything wrong. We have tried EVERYTHING that we can think of. The only option left is surgery, where they will open her chest and dig around inside. I am desperately trying to avoid this at all costs, for it is extremely aggressive, and potentially fatal. I am turning to all of you. I am reaching out to the huddled Internet masses, and begging for you to help me. ANY suggestions, thoughts, opinions, and ideas that you may have are not only welcomed, but completely needed. I pray that if we all put our brains together, that maybe we can save my sweet little Mandrake’s life. I am also willing to offer a reward to anyone whose information results in the correct diagnosis. Please help me, she means the world to me
Dog is lethargic with gagging, foul smelling nasal discharge, weight loss, and loss of appetite. Help Please!?
I adopted my dog from my local humane society and the first week we had him home he started coughing. We took him to the vet and they said it was kennel cough. The vet gave us antibiotics but after they were all gone he got sick again. We took him back and he said that the strand of kennel cough that has been going around was especially stubborn to get rid of. He gave us more meds for kennel cough. He showed some improvement but then he got worse. He has labored breathing, gagging, loss of energy, and loss of appetite, and has a very foul smelling clear nasal discharge. We have taken him back to the vet and he did x-rays of his chest and thought maybe there was some fluid but he was on lasix which didn’t help very much. My dog is a border collie mix under a year old and I also have a four year old rat terrier who has not gotten sick.last time we took him to the vet, he was tested for heartworm and it was negative.. and I did get to see the x-ray and I saw white stringy looking stuff. (almost wormy looking) When the vet was looking at the x-rays he wasn’t sure what to make of what he was seeing so he sent them to Lousiana State University for their opinion. They said they saw nothing wrong except for the fact that the dog was skinny.
Is there any new medications for dogs with congestive heart failure?
7 yr old, fox terrier was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and is on lasix and enalapril. He fills up with fluid and is very uncomfortable! Is there any new meds out there!?
why can lasix only work on the eyes up to a certain % of vision loss with astigmatism?
Why can’t they go near as they can get to 20/20 with one surgical procedure then, do it a second time to correct it completely?
