Re: HELP - Hot spot problem that no veterinary solves

My chow used to always get hot spots. I did several things, it appeared that she was allergic to fleas but no one was sure about it. So I put her on advantix, and treated my home for fleas big time!.

Re: Tongue cancer and surgery...

Kala had her surgery three weeks ago. She did great! Was very very thirsty during the first night but recovered really quickly. She is able to eat and drink perfectly. We have sent the biopsy to analysis and are waiting the results...I will keep you posted.

Thanks for your help and support!

Re: Tongue cancer and surgery...

Thank you for your response. She is doing better. She was a little restless during the night but it might have been because she was really thirsty. She had a lot of water in the morning, her medicines and fell asleep. Did Nikki get any of the cancer treatments available?

She is insisting however in having a sample sent to analysis to find out what cell cancer is it and maybe treat it with a vaccination. We still have three weeks to decide that. Any thoug...
