Has your vet or have you heard of Apoquel???? Our vet put our Cane Corso on it kind of as a last resort to treat the pyoderma between his toes and underneath his pads. HO-LY SMOKES!! WONDER DRUG!!! We were spending about $400 a month on Atopica (an autoimmune drug) for him and it wasn't...

Such a heartbreaking story...I'm so sorry that she's gone. What a wonderful way to remember her though. Run free, without pain, baby girl!!

Does it almost feel/look like a pimple or ingrown hair? And is she losing hair at the site? I ask because it sounds and looks like something that our Cane Corso went through. We took him to a dermatologist and he was prescribed a medicated shampoo that we had to use on him weekly, along with...

Happy Birthday, Champ!! Wishing many more years!!

Abbi hates the cold too so we bought her some little girl sweatshirts from Target. Something cheap and that I wouldn't mind getting dirty when she goes outside. Now, she LOVES them! As soon as it starts getting cold, I bring them out for her and she'll sit pretty, waiting for me to put it on...

Our 8-year old girl has been on the "pee pee meds" for about a year and a half now. They're called phenylpropanolamine - super long name. They're chewable and she thinks that she's getting an extra treat twice a day. They aren't expensive and although she does have small leaks here and...

Abbi does that too and we joke with her that she's trying to be a Pointer instead. They're too much!

I remembered that I didn't post the diagnosis on the stinky weenie issue: it's normal for male dogs... While I don't feel 100% comfortable with this diagnosis (but I'm not the expert...), the vet gave us a water syringe and some cleaning liquid to use to flush out the sheath area. Hayden...

Thanks for all of the info! We have a vet appointment on Friday. They said that in addition to meds, they'll probably run a douche, of sorts, inside of his shaft. With all of the time we've been spending at the vet's office lately, we should get our own room!!

I've tried searching this out on the forum but can't see that anybody else had posted about this kind of discharge. Hayden has some smelly gunk inside his penis shaft. And when I say smelly, it's bad. I pulled his sheath back and could see that his penis was coated in a light brown-ish...

Holy smokes, that is awesome!! Healing vibes to Sable girl.

Run free, baby girl! I'm so sorry for your loss. There never is a "good" time to let them go but it was nice that you were able to do in in such a peaceful way.

Fingers and paws crossed for good results!!

I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and hoping that Sable pulls through.

And our two brindle boxers have all white feet (socks) with some black nails! I've never heard of the "American" boxer thing either. Maybe just something that breeders made up to ask more for their pups???
