    can i give toby claritin?

    Thanks for the info. I have done the changing of the foods and never really pinpointed what it could be. My vet gave him cortizone pills last year, but they made him severely thirsty. I just feel sorry for him, and I want to give him some relief.

    can i give toby claritin?

    Has anyone given their dog claritin? Benedryl doesn't seem to be helping too much anymore? Toby has itchy toes and ears.

    PLEASE HELP!! (this is long)

    My boy Clyde who passed away several years ago had a sensitive tummy also. This may sound like a pain, but I used to mix rice in his food and it seemed to help. It also encouraged him to eat. My vet suggested it, but check with yours first. My Clyde didn't have to take pepcid.

    new kids with a separation anxiety dog

    Thanks! I will make sure that Bonnie is included in everything we do. Not that she'd have it any other way, haha!

    new kids with a separation anxiety dog

    I have two boxers (Bonnie and Toby), one (Bonnie) who has separation anxiety. I have a 5 yr. old step daughter. Bonnie and Toby absolutely love her and would never dream of doing harm to her. My husband and I are going to begin trying to have a baby within the next few months. Is there...

    Obstruction?

    I would take him in. He could have something blocked in there. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck and I'll be praying!

    bumps all over

    Toby's better Well, Sorry I haven't updated. I have been out of town for Christmas. Toby is getting much better. His bumps (now scabs) are falling off and leaving him hairless in those areas. But they are going away....knock on wood! The vet put him on Z/D dogfood for allergies and it...

    Autumn has cancer.

    I am so sorry to hear about Autumn. I know how painful it is as I lost my Clyde to lymphoma last March 19. He had just turned 9 on March 15. The upcoming months will be extremely difficult for you and Autumn both. Just be strong for that baby and know that she loves you very much. I am glad...

    bumps all over

    Well, the first time I went to the vet he put him on antibiotics. By the end of the week, they weren't working so I brought him back Saturday. The bumps have spread to his head and face and he is very itchy. The vet took 3 skin tissue samples and has sent them to a pathologist. I'll let you...

    Hi, I am the mom of two beautiful boxers, Bonnie and Toby. I used to have Clyde but he passed a year ago with cancer. I adopted Toby shortly after Clyde passed to heal our (mine and Bonnie's) wounds. He has been a blessing. My boxers are my children and I certainly don't know what I'd do...

    Advice about rawhide chews and sickness

    Please don't give rawhides!! I used to give rawhides to both of my boxers and they absolutely love them. But one day, Bonnie swallowed hers whole and it was stuck in her throat. She could hardly breathe. I had to rush her to the emergency vet and luckily she came out of it ok. The rawhides...

    bumps all over

    I had changed back to an old food that he used to eat, but he has been on it for about 3-4 weeks (would it take that long for a reaction?). I went last night and bought an all natural food in case that was it. I am bringing him back to the vet tomorrow because it doesn't look like it's getting...

    bumps all over

    My precious Toby has bumps all over his back and has some red bumps on his belly. They are scabbing over and are now very itchy for him. But he isn't losing hair around them. He is normally very itchy with allergies. Is this an allergic reaction to something? I brought him to the vet and he...
