busterbuster1969 313 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Should be able to get a repeat prescription from your vet if it's a regular problem, then you can buy it online from http://www.medicanim...CFUkf4QodqlPv7Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dixiebop 125 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 If it a skin infection in summer,it might be a blood based prob,Wifes Glen had something similar,herbal remedy to cool the blood down,seemed to cure the prob.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
busterbuster1969 313 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I thought it was illegal for a vet to refuse a repeat prescription for an ongoing problem, I might be wrong but and im sure someone on here knows the craic but im sure there not allowed to refuse...

sallie 67 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have found that vets love to do a repeat prescription but they want to see the dog again and charge you for looking at it and then prescribe the same thing and a little more because its come back again grrrrr... I have found an excellent dog vet in Devon and she is mobile its Mercury vet if anyone down here needs a good vet. http://www.mercuryvets.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,172 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I know this might sound stupid, but ear infections, canker etc is often caused by a yeast overgrowth. I've never known it in dogs which are fed on a cereal free diet: wheat and maize seem to be the two main causes, though any cereal which ferments can be a problem. Try feeding a raw diet and only giving cooked rice as the carbohydrate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longdogbow 12 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have a mate at work who works a lab bitch.everytime the dog hits water she gets ear infections. now i asked him if it was a particular pond,lake or stream thinking it might be the cause with something in the water but he said no.its all water? would any of the above remedies help? or is there a preventitive solution to this.i.e something he can apply first before going out? anybody else had or have this?
