Dental Cleaning Without Extractions Needed In A Young Chihuahua. Meet Rocco.
Treatment Cost (USD): $274.70
Like many chihuahua's Rocco was acquiring dental calculi and gum inflammation at an early age. He needed a dental cleaning to help resolve these. All dogs should have daily tooth brushing, the smaller breeds likely need cleanings every 2-3 years. We wanted to clean his early to try to avoid extractions down the road.

Frecvent Epilepsy Episodes
Treatment Cost (USD): $50.00
My dog is 3 years old. 2 and a half months ago she had her first seasure and continued having one every 3 weeks. But now things got complicated and from last morning until now she had 14 Seizures (epilepsy), in the distance of 1 and a half hours. Last night we went to the vet and they injected fenobarbital in her muscle but it didn't make a difference, she had 4 episodes in the night, and continued having all day long. The next day, The vet injected again under skin fenobarbital 100mg but we didn't saw any king of improvement, she continued having seasures in the same amount of time. What should we do? We are desperate and seems like nothing is working.

Max came to us painful and unable to urinate- he had been unblocked at another clinic the day before. Because of money concerns they removed his urinary catheter and discharged him that night.

Thanks for reply, yes i give her any type of canned wet food she will eat, realizing that they are equivalent to cheeseburgers…but at her age she can eat anything as far as i’m concerned. Just want her to eat and poop each day. I do have miralax for her but have been afraid that by adding it, she won’t eat the soft food which she is becoming very particular about it and demanding shrimp. She urinates quite often, another symptom of feces staying in the colon too long?….gets all the water drawn out is my guess. We go for walks usually each morning, but lately i’ve had some nasty coyotes around and rattlesnakes this summer. I was sitting on the steps one morning as she was about 10 feet away and a bobcat came around the corner of the cabin… and i didn’t give them a chance to interact, i swooped her up. One morning we were out and a coyote came through the yard and spotted her…Boo Kitty charged it and it ran off, never seen a black cat before…but i’m sure it would soon get brave. i have a video of the coyote barking at her through the glass porch door. i’ve been chasing them off lately and seems good now for our morning walks. After 10 minutes or so, she heads back to the cabin and i follow! but yes, will give the miralax a try again, wasn’t sure about it’s spoiling the taste for her. I had tried to mix it in water, she demands a bowl of warm water on the shower floor each morning. She started to go into the shower and lick the shower floor even though she has plenty of water. She likes it flowing so i may try and get a fountain waterer for her. but i often fill bowls here and there, she likes warm water too sometimes. She’s queen and if she wants water from my cup..so be it! She also has this weird thing about wandering around sometimes and looking for some magic fluff or dust on the carpet and eats it. i keep the carpets vacuumed 2-3 times a day. I assume her tummy is uncomfortable and is looking for a magic elixir of sorts. She never liked treats, but now wants them. Something about the IAMS hairball care shrimp flavored formula, others not so much. Thanks again for your great video on youtube and time! She travels well now, we go up to the mountains and she gets a little more exercise on those trips.
OK, i just dipped a shrimp in a little miralax and she ate it!
thanks for the encouragement…..i think that will be the new standard…..
Miralax works well, i’m surprised…dosage is always a concern eg. giving too much gets a little messy..but seems to be the real trick!
Thank you for adding your story! Wishing you and your kitty continued success. I will add that I have been very happy with adding a tiny amount of miralax to the food daily. I also recommend feeding canned food with water added and getting them up to exercise as much as possible. Use catnip, a harness to walk them outside or even a large training wheel. These help immensely.
