Best to ask your vet regarding the doseage as it might counter act with the depo-medrol or anything else she is on.

For my allergy boy, I've had success with Chlor-Tripolon (generic name chlorpheniramine) when Benadryl doesn't work for him. It does make him sleepy which always isn't a bad thing. He is also hypothyroid and has severe autoimmune atopic dermatitis which is being controlled with Atopica...

That is the root bit of it, you can separate and plant it elsewhere. Be forewarned though it grows and spreads everywhere. My grandparents had some and now it is all over in their garden beds. They have the green variety and the red variety. If you pull it all out of the pot there will be loads...

cut it up with a few strawberries, add a small splash of lemon, vanilla, small splash of water, and roughly 1/2 cup of splenda (or a few packets to taste) and simmer on the stove till it mushes down. Oh and put it over ice cream. Usually I'll use a lot less splenda than the 1/2 cup, more like...

The dane, of course I will likely always have a dane. The boxer however, NEVER ever will I own another one of them. They are just well not for me. I've had border collies in the past and would LOVE to own another one, husband's allergies prevents me from doing this though as he has a hard enough...

If you have a Costco near you, Nature's Domain makes a Salmon and Sweet Potato that I've fed with great sucess. It is I want to say 33.99/30 something pound bag of food. 3% fibre. Last I checked TOTW was about $45/bag so savings of roughly $10/bag of food, average dog eats 1 bag per month so...

Get a Frenchie.... Festus was friends with the frenchie at my work. They LOVED eachother. And honestly, a frenchie is what I would be going for if I ever went small dog... Right now my 38lb boxer is small enough for my liking. Another option I would go for is a Boston Terrier, so again very...

You could try the coconut oil directly on his skin if he isn't absorbing it through his GI tract from the autoimmune. I do this when my autoimmune dog has some dry patches on his skin, or I'll use bag balm depending on what I have handy and it seems to rectify it after a few days. With him...

I don't post here often. Mainly a lurker. My dane is on cyclosporine for his extreme allergies. He is also hypothyroid. I've started a blog for him since he's been on the cyclosporine that has photo evidence on how he has progressed. I get the generic from Costco for him (also avaliable at...

Thanks everyone! I need to get back to taking pictures of them and will be sure to share them. ~Tucker&Me~ I'm just outside of Vancouver in Surrey :)

Hello, My name is Kate. I have two dogs, Festus (great dane) and Sidney (boxer). Thought I would finally introduce myself :) Sidney is a typical boxer and drives me crazy every day and really really test her limits. She is almost 7 years old, and still thinks she is 8 weeks. Festus is...
