Can someone help me with a dog health question?

We Answered:

they sell ear cleaner at Petsmart. clean em for a few weeks, if it doesn't go away, it could be ear mites...then you need to go to the vet...shouldn't be too expensive. (probably just dirty)

Dog Health Questions on Yahoo?

We Answered:

I totally agree. If my dog was vomitting, had bloody stool, or was screaming in pain (which we`ve all heard on here before), the LAST thing I would be thinking of is to get on my computer and log into Yahoo. Then again, I have an emergency fund of $1500 for my dog, that stays topped-up at all times, so I would never ever find myself in a position where I `can not afford` to take him to the vet.

I don`t think anything we, or Yahoo, does will stop people from trying to find a quick, cheap (or free) fix for their dogs health problems. People shouldn`t even own pets, if they aren`t prepared for the medical expenses that can be associated with illness, disease, and other emergencies.

Why do people ask non-vet strangers about serious dog health questions?

We Answered:

I'm on your side.
And frankly, if we give veterinary advise here, we are guilt of dispensing Veterinary Medicine without a license, something highly frowned upon by the profession.

And the scariest part is, some of the 'advice' dispensed here would end up killing the dog....

Hello Randee
1. this is a common spot for a common problem :)
it's a pressure sore (100% positive)
2. if it's gone, ignore it, perhaps write yourself a little note when/if it comes back
Have a great w/e :)
