ROCCO & ROXIE

Both of my dogs need to go on a diet Roxie is couple pounds over weight and so is Nicole I've cut back on my treats to give them and on amount of food given. I also walk them as much as I can which is 2-4 times a day... I was told to give my dogs salmon based foods since Roxie has allergies. Any suggestions to help them lose weight?

What are neutrophil Why does Rocco have them. Why shift to left side. What does that mean

Roxie wont let me soak her paw with epsom salt, definitely not for 10 minutes. What other way works?

Rocco seems down. Does not want to eat. Vet put him on Apoquel. I thought that is for allergies only and considered dangerous. It is not a food enhancer. Please clarify

Rocco has a high level neutrophilia with left shift and monocytes. White blood cells are increased immature neutrophilia CBC slightly elevated. What tests are necessary and what do you believe is wrong

So I’m laying down and I look at my dogs at the end of my bed. Lying next to each other, both on their sides facing the same way. I notice they’re breathing so much differently. Roxie (almost 4 yo 50lb Australian Shepherd pitbull mix) is breathing about 80 breaths a minute whereas Macie (almost 3yo 43lb Mountain Cur) is breathing about 23 breaths per minute. Which is normal here?When Roxie is inhaling her chest rises and then her stomach. (Fast)

Will prednisone cause fast breathing in a 34 pound mixed breed dog? Blood work on 12/7 had platelet count at 75. Likely caused by tumor on his leg. Rocco is 9 years old

It is I/D food. He did vomit. Diarrhea watery with blood. He was given IV fluids by vet. Toxic ingestion? His bloodwork was all normal. Hoping that was the reason they really took Rocco to the vet. I help support him. How long on this special diet?

My dog Roxie has been limping since early this morning. She kept jumping off the bed repeatedly last night to scratch her ears. She can barely put any weight on it. Nothing seems to be broken or dislocated. She's eating normally and still affectionate. Is it a sprain?

When chewie is often laying down (usually its when roxie lays next to him) every now and then he will kind of let out a low growl and get up.. I've been told that him being part Labrador they have problems with their hips..how accurate is this?

My white Scotty Terrier, 35 pds. Has a urine protein creatinine of 2.4. What medication would be helpful to decrease this? Roxie dog also has borderline high BP. Lisinopril or Rafampin? I am an RN and I am familiar with these medications. I will discuss this with my Vet (who always chooses the higher cost med provided from her office). I would like an opinion for another Vet. Thank you!

My 6 year old beagle has had a small "pimple like" bump under the fur on her back for a while. It hasn't caused her any pain or any hair loss. But, today she was acting like she was in pain and we found a similar "bump" by her front leg. I'm not sure what it is or how to take care of it and make sure Roxie isn't in pain.
