My dog has horrible breath you can smell a mile away. Part of it is she has kidney failure, which I recognize causes foul breath. But she’s also 10 years old and never really had any dental care before. In the last few months, about the time her bad breath became noticeable, she developed nasty tartar on her teeth. She will probably have to be anesthesized to have her teeth cleaned. I understand at her age and health, there is a risk of death. How much should I expect to pay for this type of teeth cleaning?

I just adopted a kitten an she has an upper respiratory infection and a cold. I am giving her proper medicine and keeping her away from my other cats, but can my dog catch the viruses from her also?

My dog usually is given Methio-Form by the vet for urinary tract infections. He has to stay on this to prevent infections. Has anyone ever tried giving Apple Cider Vinegar pills instead? I’m told Metho-Form is similar to ACV pills, but is a lot more expensive than something I could buy over the counter, like vinegar pills. Any help? Thanks… (more…)

Well, I didn’t mean that I did it myself. I wouldn’t do it. I let the vet do it. I didn’t know anything about it until I took her last week. (more…)
