I am looking for a multivitamin for my 11 year old Chesapeake retriever and my 9 year old rat terrier. My cheesie was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and is getting worse. I started home cooking for him because he has major food allergies. I c
I'm so sorry to hear that Wesson has degenerative myelopathy (DM). It is a horrible disease that we see far too commonly. There isn't any treatment that is proven to slow the progression of DM other than regular exercise. That being said, there are some recommendations for diet and supplements. The most common protocol that people have used is Dr. Clemmon's DM diet and supplement recommendations. I am attaching a link to his website below. http://dog2doc.com/neuro/DM_Web/DMofGS.htm He recommends a LARGE number of supplements which I think is too much for most dogs and clients to handle, so I will usually try to find a good quality antioxidant and multi-vitamin to add to a homemade diet. I love the company VetriScience. Their product Cell Advance is a wonderful antioxidant. https://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=900722120 Their multivitamins are also wonderful. I usually recommend Canine Plus Senior for older dogs which I do not believe has any chicken ingredi

Hi so I just wanted to know if there is anything to worry about if my dog licked a bird ? So a few days ago I found a small bird that seemed to not be able to fly so I put him in a box and he got out so I found him and then my dog saw him and I think
There is no way to know for whether or not the bird Rocky licked was carrying any sort of pathogen, and whether or not that pathogen is transmissible to dogs. I would operate under the assumption that everything is going to be OK unless you begin to see any clinical signs of illness. You can certainly obtain a fecal sample and bring it into your vet to make sure he didn't pick up any intestinal parasites. Hope this helps.

My dog has cought a pigeon so I am really scared je the pigeon was sick. Plzz help and are there any good vitamins to make his immune sistem better?
No vitamins will make any difference for the good or bad, mist diseases pigeons get are harmless to dogs, if your dog ate the pigeon he could suffer from some mild gastrointestinal upset but nothing out of the ordinary.

Bird looked fine Friday, by Monday the feathers were gone on left side of head & neck, skin is red, cracked, pitted & swollen. The bird is scratching at least 2x per minute, even when eating. I scrubbed caged & everything in it, & sprayed it & bird w
You can put an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Birdy to keep her from scratching the spot - googling how to make a bird sized one with a paper plate is a great at-home thing you can do, however with the severity of that injury and how rapidly it is spreading, I would seek out a veterinary exam in person ASAP. It is possible there is an infection, or other nutritional/disease process going on that requires additional treatment such as flushing the affected site, giving antibiotics, etc, so seeking vet care is best.

Is "BEAPHAR" Salmon Oil health/good for dogs, if not then what would be the best brand of salmon oil for my German Shepherd?
This is not a product I am familiar with, and that could be because most of our veterinarians at Boop by Petco are based in the US and this is a product from overseas. If you want to use this product I would recommend asking your dog's veterinarian if the product is recommended. The fish oil/omega fatty acid supplements I normally recommend include the VRS line of products: https://www.vrshealth.com/canine-products/omegadog/ and the Nutramax product Welactin http://www.welactin.com/dog . These products have been studied to ensure their quality and effectiveness.
