"I took my puppy for a check up. He was diagnosed with a cold. The vet prescribed Clovamox drops 2cc every 12 hrs. for 7 days. After the 7 day there was some improvement but he still had the cold. I took him in for a follow up, and the vet. doubled the dosage to 4cc every 12hrs. for ten days. He’s is now done with his medication and he is still the same. Please advise? "
"Our black lab mix, Charlie, 75 lbs., 3/5/99, has been dragging his back left leg/paw so that his nails are extremely short. I brought him to the vet a couple of weeks ago, and they told me to continue to exercise Charlie, and give him Tramadol 50MG, twice a day, and also Metacam 75 lbs. per day. Also 1000 - 1500 mg of Glucosamine per day, when I can get him to take it. He’s a ball of energy, and when taking him walking, he’s full speed ahead. It doesn’t seem to be hurting him and the vet doe"
"My puppy is doing great and is up-to-date on vaccines. However, of late I have noticed that many-a-times when he sits, his fronts paw/s tremble for a few seconds and then stop. Checked with my vet. He inquired about the food I was feeding him as it could be a calcium deficiency but he wasn’t too worried. I feed him Natural Balance. But I still wanted to get a second opinion and would appreciate a response. Natural Balance is one of the better "All Life Stages" brand. Was wondering if that’s ok"
