Milk Thistle For Dogs

Pets, like humans, are forced to deal with exposure to toxins on a daily basis. There are toxins in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. We can not escape them. And, just like humans, the liver of a pet is used to filter these toxins from your blood. Because the liver works so hard in filtration and elimination of all these toxic substances, it is very susceptible to serious damage. Hepatic injury There are several causes of liver damage. The viruses, bacteria, drugs, toxins mentioned above, free radicals and inflammation are guilty of wreaking havoc on the liver. Signs of liver damage or disease include loss of appetite, lethargy, jaundice, dark urine, pale gums, or sudden unexplained weight loss.

Dog Allergy Simptoms

Image
What are the symptoms of allergies in dogs? Allergies in dogs can have signs and symptoms that sometimes seem common or can be attributed to something else. The dog's itch and scratch are high on the list, with odor, ear infections, skin infections, surface bumps, and scooting to name a few. Dogs with allergies are itchy. They thrive because histamine is released when your immune system attacks the offending allergen. The areas of skin that most often sting are the ears, eyes, feet, even between the toes, arms, groin and around the anus. This itch causes the feet to bite, shaking the head, rubbing the face, and scooting from the bottom. Some dogs also bite or scratch their bellies. About 60% of those who pull their hair (barbering) and have bald spots (alopecia) have itchy skin allergies to food. Because allergic dogs scratch, they damage your skin (dermatitis). The yeast grows rapidly on damaged skin, causing more itching (Malassezia dermatitis). Yeasty infections are stinky, a

Flea And Tick Prevention For Dogs

PREVENTION OF HAZARDS AND BOLTS FOR DOGS Few dog owners are lucky enough to avoid an eventual foray into fleas, the dog's most common parasites. Even with the regular bath and toilet, restless bugs can find their way to the tender flesh of dogs without trust (and dog owners). Bloodsuckers not only do not pay rent, they cause itchiness and can transmit disease to their hosts. Fortunately, controlling fleas has become much simpler, safer and more effective in recent years. New products that break the flea's reproductive cycle make it possible to keep small biters in the bay without exposing your dog to toxic chemicals. SYMPTOM The continuous itching and scratching of your dog will probably be your first clue that you have fleas. If you look closely, you can actually see the little dark brown insects. Most likely, however, you will see what black and white points look like. Black specks are "flea dirt", or flea feces. White spots are flea eggs. If you see real fle
