My dog gets diarrhea from any chewies I buy for her that are rawhide and I don't know why?
Well either she is allergic to them or the reason that rawhides tend to be bad for dogs is because that they can splinter the dogs, however I think that your dog may be allergic to something in them or them themselves. So try giving your dog things like from petsmart.com or something, like the Kong treats, Nylabones, or something like an edible bone that are very good and dogs love them and come in beef, chicken, and flavors like that. Sorry about that and good luck. If you still can't figure out why and nothing else is working try calling up and talking to your vet they might know!!
How do pet location microchips work?
Dogs that get caught on the street are scanned by dog shelter workers with a handheld scanner. The scanner reades the information on a microchip (the information usually includes the street address/phone number/names of the owners.
You can't. Unless there's some listing on the product label as to where the ingredients are from, you can't know. This question is probably being asked in light of the recent pet food recall. I suggest you go to the manufacturer's website to see if the product is amongst the recalled items.

What are some of the causes of deafness in dogs? There are alot of reasons a dog could be showing signs of deafness. One of the first things needed is to make sure that the dog is suffering from deafness, and your vet would need to do that. That would involve cleaning, and giving the ears a full exam to make sure they were not infected or impacted. That could contribute to your dog having major trouble hearing. Please don't try to clean your dogs ears yourself, it is a very delicate and sentive area! Much damage can be done if handled imporperly, and you need them checked for infection. If no signs of trouble are in the ear. Then your vet can test his hearing to make sure that he is indeed deaf. That is a simple test. Also, age is a major factor in all your dogs abilities, and hearing is near the top of that list. Depending on the dog's age, this might just be another step along the road of your lives together. I start teaching all my dogs, and believe it or not cats too, a bit of sign commands I've made up over the years, when they have learned the word commands and have a good grasp and understanding of what is expected of them. I have raised, and gone through the life cycle of enough to have learned that the body begins to fails, but not their heart, or desire to please. So, I try to make the transion as easy as possible and the use of the hand signals is one of those simple things. They get used to seeing the signals with the words and eventually don't need the words to back up the signals. It takes a little work, but it is well worth the effort. The only other thing I know of for certain (it happened to one of mine). Is that if you give Buffered Aspirin on a long term bases, recommended by your vet only. That this can be a side effect of the long term use, not short term. But, my vet explained that with the long term use, some dogs are effected this way and others are not. But that it can happen. So, that is something to be considered and discussed with your vet., if they recommened long term Buffered Aspirin for your Dog. There are probably other factors, but these are the ones I have direct experience with.

There are medical applications that are used once every three months.
What is the best brand of dog food for weight loss for a pug?
most likely it would be Iams or Pedigree.
Bits of boiled chicken mixed with cooked white rice is a good choice for a dog that is ill or recovering from an illness. However, you cannot continue this diet for more than a week or so since it lacks essential nutrients; eventually you will probably have to wean your bichon back on commercial kibble. Veterinarians sell special pet food for dogs with kidney problems. Avoid brands that contain propolyne glycol.
There is another alternative: a diet made up completely of raw meat, vegetables and added nutrients. Careful research is needed before you start your dog on this potentially very healthy feeding program. It is also possible to buy commercially prepared frozen or freeze-dried raw food for dogs that is nutritionally complete.
your dog is very sick and i suggest u take him to the vet immediately

It was centuries ago that Australian aborigines probably first started plucking leaves from a native tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) to treat skin infections. In 1770, sailors from Captain Cook's expedition to the South Seas ventured ashore at New South Wales and brewed a tea using the leaves of the same tree. This event engendered the herb's English name "tea tree"--which is actually something of a misnomer because the Melaleuca species bears no relation to the Camellia species, the usual source of tea leaves.
Today, an aromatic oil with a fragrance reminiscent of nutmeg is steam-distilled from the Melaleuca leaves. Because the Melaleuca alternifolia grows only in Australia, that country is now the major source of tea tree oil, exporting some 700 tons of annually. Tea tree products are often referred to as "melaleuca oil." The pure oil is colorless to pale yellow.
Health Benefits
High-quality tea tree oil contains 40% or more of terpinen-4-ol, the ingredient that fights harmful bacteria and fungi and makes the oil so effective in preventing and fighting infection in cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and stings.
Specifically, tea tree oil may help to:
Treat cuts, scrapes, insect bites and stings, and other minor skin wounds and irritations. Tea tree oil blends rapidly and easily with the skin's own oils. In the process, the oil alters the chemical barrier of the skin, making it less hospitable to the growth of fungi and other organisms. In these ways, tea tree oil not only lessens the chance of infection, it also promotes healing and reduces the likelihood of scarring.
Fight fungal nail infections, jock itch, and athlete's foot. Tea tree oil has been shown to be effective in countering Trichophyton, the fungus that causes numerous topical infections, including athlete's foot and jock itch.
Shorten the course of vaginal yeast infections. Two of the organisms that cause these discomforts, Candida albicans and Trichomonas vaginalis, apparently succumb to the actions of tea tree oil.
Gently control acne. Even severe cases of acne have been shown to benefit from anti-acne preparations that contain up to 15% tea tree oil, an effect that can be explained by the oil's antibacterial and skin-healing properties. In one study conducted in Australia, a comparison was made between a gel containing 5% tea tree oil and a traditional 5% benzoyl peroxide acne lotion. The products proved similar in their effectiveness against pimples, although the herbal preparation worked more slowly. It was notable, however, that the product containing the tea tree oil caused significantly less dryness, redness, scaling, and itching to the surrounding skin.
Treat dandruff and head lice. According to one study, a 5% solution of tea tree oil is effective against Pityrosporum ovale, a fungus that can cause dandruff. In a laboratory analysis of tea-tree chemistry, substances were discovered that can kill head lice. But human research is still needed, especially since the skin of children (a population particularly susceptible to lice) may be overly sensitive to tea tree oil.
Curtail warts. Tea tree oil is sometimes recommended for warts, which are caused by viruses. More research is needed to determine whether the oil is truly effective for this purpose, but it certainly does not seem to cause any complications. Note: Tea tree oil has also been found to be useful for a number of other disorders. For information on these additional ailments, see our Dosage Recommendations Chart for Tea Tree Oil.
Forms
suppository oil gel cream Dosage Information
Special tip:
--Look for tea tree oil derived only from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree. Oil from other species can have a high percentage of cineole, a compound that can irritate the skin and hinder the oil's active ingredients from providing any therapeutic benefit.
For minor skin wounds, insect bites and stings, and irritations: Cleanse the wound and apply one or two drops of tea tree oil to the affected area two or three times daily.
For nail infections: Rub tea tree oil on the nail twice a day.
For athlete's foot: Apply tea tree oil or cream to affected areas twice a day and/or use it in a foot bath. For a foot bath: Put 20 drops of tea tree oil in a small basin of warm water and soak the feet for 15 minutes, two or three times a day. Dry the feet thoroughly after soaking and apply a drop or two of oil to the affected area.
For vaginal yeast infections: Use a tea tree oil vaginal suppository, available at health-food outlets, every 12 hours for up to five days.
For acne: Apply a drop or two to each acne lesion three times a day.
For warts: Put a few drops of the oil on a small gauze compress and tape it over the wart at bedtime. Remove it in the morning. Repeat until the wart heals. Be sure to check out our Dosage Recommendations Chart for Tea Tree Oil, which lists therapeutic dosages for specific ailments at a glance.
Guidelines for Use
When buying a topical antifungal preparation advertised to contain tea�tree oil, make sure the oil is from M. alternifolia and is one of the first ingredients listed.
Tea tree oil is found in various skin-care and beauty products (shampoos, soaps, and so on) but often in amounts so minuscule that it provides virtually no antibacterial effect. To learn if a particular product can produce the benefits of tea tree oil, request information from the manufacturer about studies supporting such a claim.
Some toothpastes contain tea tree oil. However, because the oil is dangerous if swallowed, only very small amounts are included. This makes the products safe, but essentially nullifies any bacteria-fighting benefits they claim to have.
General Interaction
There are no known drug or nutrient interactions associated with tea tree oil.
Possible Side Effects
Tea tree oil can irritate sensitive skin, especially in the vaginal area. It can also prompt an allergic reaction in some people. As a safety precaution, dab a small amount on your inner arm with a cotton swab before using the oil or a product that contains it. If you are allergic, your arm will quickly become red or inflamed.
Cautions
Never ingest tea tree oil. It is for external use only, and should never be applied around the eyes.
If you accidentally ingest the oil, immediately contact a doctor or a poison control center.
Consult your doctor before replacing any prescription medications with tea tree oil. Ailments Dosage Acne Apply a drop or two to each acne lesion 3 times a day. Athlete's Foot Apply oil or cream to affected areas twice a day and/or use as a footbath. Cuts and Scrapes Apply cream to wound 3 times a day in place of aloe or lavender oil. Insect Bites and Stings Apply 1 drop of oil to skin several times a day, or as needed. Warts Put several drops on a compress. Use overnight until the wart heals.
does that answer your question
I also use tea tree oil on many thing including red ant bites. If you dab TTO on the bite promptly it will diminish the sting and reduce the inflammation as well it will eliminate the nasty pustule pimple that you get the folowing day that can cause scarring to you skin. Also try herbal touch stick with TTO from Blue Dolphin Soap Co.
Whenever I get a cold sore coming on I dab it with TTO and it is gone in three days. Also I use it in my CPAP humidifier when I am sick with bronchitis. I use a couple drops of TTO and eucalyptus in the water to ease the cough and cut the pleghm.
I have tried a soap called RESTORZ with tea tree oil, lavender and peppermint for my psoriasis and eczema. It was amazing how fast it began clearing my patches and sores. If you have either problem order it from My Blue Dolphin Soap and you will see what I mean.
Tea tree oil kills head lice and chiggers. You can use it straight or diluted depending on your sensitivity. it is strong stuff. Every soldier in WW1 had it in his duffle bag for relieving foot fungus. Once your feet are wet and fungus grows on moist surfaces it will stop an army in its tracks. The Meleleuca farmers were exempt from the war to stay home and grow this wonderful essemntial oil. Read the Tea Tree Oil Bible to learn all you can about this wonderful oil.
