June 26-July 2 questionsHot spots on dog
Answer: Hi Maria, hot spots are usually caused by allergies (fleas or food) or self trauma, or even by clipping the hair too close to the skin. The best treatment is to clip the hair around the spot and clean the area, and leave the area open to the air. Also systemic antibiotics from your Veterinarian should also be added if the infection is severe.
Answer: A closed pyometra is a life threatening condition. Surgery is curative, so see if your veterinarian can offer you a financing plan. A pyometera is a very serious condition and can cause a dog to become very sick and die quickly. Answer: Yes, the main thing is if your dog is vomiting is to withhold food, but not water.

Question from:Velma Eight Mile, AL My dachshund (3 1/2 years old) has been acting strange about once a day sometime twice. She will act like she is dizzy, can't walk without wobbling. Looks disoriented. I am worried about her when she gets this way. What do you think she is suffering from?
