MERGED: My dog is sick :( help!

[books_mags]

if your dog's have liver problems, it might be related to cleaning products.

our dog was diagnosed with very unhealthy liver, mataas na daw level ng toxins. and this got us very confused kasi hindi nagkulang sa vitamins and diet yung dog namin. hindi rin lumalabas ng bahay so we're sure that it was not because of something he picked up from outside.  the vet asked if we are using clorox or any cleaning agent na exposed sa dog namin.

And yes we were, we wanted to make sure he is always clean that we use clorox to clean his area thinking this will kill germs.  The doc said cleaning agents are bad for dogs even if you dry them properly.  Even for humans daw, mahihilo ka smelling Clorox for a long time, what more for dogs who are more sensitive and closer to the ground pa where we apply the cleaning agent.

True enough, after we stopped using chemicals to clean our floor, mas naging healthy dog namin, in fact tumaba even with the same diet and vitamins.

^nakalagay pa nga sa label ng zonrox pwede panligo sa dogs diba? nalaman ko rin from a dog forum noon na sobrang masama ang bleach sa lungs nila. right now i'm using an organic cleaner, sa pet express ko binibili, nutri science name nya. effective din sya in removing odors kasi di na nagwiwi dog ko sa mga favorite spots nya na nilagyan ko ng cleaner.

abuanddiego Wala syang appetite sis. Dog food, Dentastix, even yung doggy biscuits, ayaw nya. Poop, mukhang normal naman. No vomiting so far. May Dextrose Powder pa kami dito. I'll give him some... My husband's family has lived here for a long, long time. I moved in nung 2009 after we got married. I think we got the dogs in 2010...

Sis, anong name nung organic cleaner na gamit mo?

books_mags We don't know yet sis kung may liver problems sya. Wala naman sa history nya ang liver problem. The thing din is, my in laws are not fans of bleaching products so I know that's not the problem. Yun nga lang, I really don't know what's wrong. I'm thinking, he might've picked up a virus from his walks. May mga stray dogs kasi sometimes. And my hubby's uncle, habit nya pa na sinasama sa motorcycle nya si Choco pag namamalengke. Mahilig kasi si Choco sa gala - Wala sya pakialam kung motorcycle or car. Kahit ano sasakyan nya, makagala lang sya. Hehe.

[abuanddiego]

Updated ba deworming nya? Nutri science yung brand sis, nasa spray bottle sya. maganda rin kung macheck ang blood nya para malaman kung may parasites or problem sa organs.

[mojitayanipot]

Yup. Pina-deworm din namin sya when the pups were dewormed a month ago...

[abuanddiego]

ilan taon na sya sis?

[mojitayanipot]

2 years old sis.

Sis abu, how much yung nutri science? My friend suggested messy bessy to me.

Sadly, im a fan of bleach also. But now i want to convert to organic.

[abuanddiego]

^199.75 sya sis, sa Pet Express ako bumibili. nakikita ko rin yung messy bessy pero never ko pa natry. hanap muna ako reviews. ang ayoko lang sa nutri science is ang lagkit nya, pag nagspray kasi ako hinihintay ko lang hanggang matuyo kaya ayun ang lagkit ng sakit namin. pero effective sya kasi yung mga wiwi spots ng shih tzu ko eh talagang iniiwasan nya na.

[twelve5]

^ actually, sis, kelangan ko lang pang linis ng garage. Trained naman kasi mga alaga ko. Di sila wiwi sa loob ng house.  Yung garage kelangan disinfect kasi yung tires madumi di ba. Eh bleach ginagamit namin.

Dati i tried apple cider vinegar, nag amoy panis tuloy yung garage. Mali ata. Hehe

Yung baking soda di ko pa na try.

[abuanddiego]

^ako naman nung nalaman ko about bleach, laundry detergents na lang gamit kong panlinis, rinse ko na lang maigi para walang residue. itong nutri science kumbaga last step na lang para di umihi kung san-san at di mangamoy aso yung bahay. hindi ko sya magamit as a cleaner kasi nasasayangan ako medyo mahal din eh 500ml lang sya. meron pala akong nakitang all purpose cleaner, new product sya ng sesou, mura sya 270 lang per liter. check ko sa trinoma branch nila kung meron na.

Natry ko na rin yung acv noon, pero hininto ko kasi lahat ng tao sa bahay nagrereklamo sa amoy hehe. Ang alam ko hinahaluan sya ng water pero kahit may halo ang tapang pa rin eh. Try mo sis yung baking soda okay din sya panglinis, or white vinegar para di gano matapang ang amoy.

[twelve5]

^ hehe. Nung dumating nga kapatid ko sa house, ask nya - parang amoy panis?

Natakot kasi ako sa posts dito on liver toxicity. Kala ko kasi basta rinse well ang bleach ok na. Di ko alam may vapors/fume pa palang natitira yun.

Baking soda muna gagamitin namin. Pero hanap din ako ng ready to use na para mas madali.

Thanks, abu! =)

[abuanddiego]

^you're welcome sis.

alala ko dati hinahalo ko yan pag nililuto ko food nung bulldog. asiwang-asiwa sila sa amoy, di ko masabi na kahit ganun yun eh madami namang benefits, sa amoy pa lang kasi sigurado walang maniniwala. Ginagamit ko rin sya as insect repellant and ear cleaner, dilute ko sa same amount of water pero pag sa ear mas maraming water.

May something daw kasi sa bleach that binds sa air para maging toxic sya. I forgot the exact explanation kasi medyo techinical basta tanda ko mas at risk daw ang dogs than humans.

Yung baking soda ginagamit ko rin panglinis ng bowls nila and kitchen sink namin, ang galing nagiging shiny ulit kahit luma na. If you want to remove unpleasant odors, dapat daw lagyan while fresh pa yung stains para maabsorb ng baking soda.

mga sis, help naman.  our dog has a skin disease yata.  ano bang affordable vet clinic sa manila?  yung pwede mag stay in ang dog duon para hindi mahawa yung other dogs namin sa bahay.

[abuanddiego]

^sis hindi naman lahat ng skin disease nakakahawa. depende kasi sa type ng sakit. ang maganda nyan paskin scrape nyo para malaman kung ano ang cause. pwedeng allergy, bacterial or fungal infection, fleas, or mange---demodectic or sarcoptic. sarcoptic yung pwede makahawa. may mga dogs kaming nagkamange kaya medyo familiar ako. ilan taon na dog mo? actually immune system ang may problema pag may mange, so dapat palakasin nyo system nya. provide a healthy diet, vitamins and clean environment. San ka ba sa manila sis? Karamihan dito sa Vets in Practice pumupunta.

gumawa ako ng link for skin problems: http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/topic,265583.0.html

[sweetarwen07]

^ thank you sisabuanddiego    thank you din sa link!

yung sakit nya para bang may natatanggal na flakes or dandruff sa kanya.  nakakaawa na talaga.  dito lang kami sa sta. cruz manila.  gusto ko sana yung magaling na vet at the same time, affordable naman. 

[beautyandfab]

hello mga sis, may ubo at sipon puppy ko.ano dapat ko gawin?or ibigay na meds?

[twelve5]

^ hi sis. Sorry to hear that your pup is sick.

I recommend that you bring your pup to the vet. Puppy pa kasi (as you said) and weak pa immune system nyan. Also, for a layperson, its hard to diagnose if simpleng cold nga lang yan. The vet will also give meds accdg to his body weight para hindi ma OD (overdose).

[beautyandfab]

nagpacheck up na kami kanina, may binigay lang oral meds tsaka wet food, pero ayaw pa din nya kumain pati tubig madalang lang uminom kanina nag poop sya ng medyo watery pero may konti naman buo, and now lang nagsuka sya ng plema na color yellow green, good sign ba na nilalabas nya ang plema? super sad ko now,hopefully bukas ok na sya.

[kiz_me1109]

Pina stud si namin Phoebe (a Basset Hound) last week. It was her first time. Pagbalik niya, we noticed na matamlay siya. Then, after a week, ayaw na kumain. Sinunod naman namin yung sabi ng vet na bigyan ng liver and gizzard para pampagana pero ayaw niya talaga. Minsan kumakain pero unlike dati na matakaw siya.

Is it a sign na kaya na buntis na siya? In-explain kasi ng vet niya samin before yung symptoms of dog pregnancy.

Please help. =( First time kasi namin ni hubby mag alaga ng dog so clueless talaga kami.

Thanks!
