| 2009-10-07 | Joseph | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for the answer, I'll feed him better |
| 2009-10-07 | Marsha | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you appreciate your response. As to did I get it wrong. I asked them to check it twice since I thought they must have doubled it. Response was he is big dog. My dog can't even eat that much so I just let him decide what he needs with in reason of those limit. Your response leads me to believe what I am doing is correct. Do you know of a source of Baytril at a reduced rate>>>? My holoistic vet is quite pricey but the only one really making progress on my dog's skin condition. |
| 2009-09-24 | Laura | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Answer was clear and concise and response was very quick, which was very important to us. Our question was not just answered, but a solution to the problem was suggested. We are very grateful for this website and especially for this volunteer. Thank you so much. |
| 2009-09-17 | Sonya | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for getting back to me SO quickly. I never expected such a quick response ! Although, it is very much appreciated ....as I need to try something different and most importantly, something that will get this little girl feeling better!! I will try that tomorrow morning when she gets up. I will let you know how it goes. (Hopefully well, I feel so bad for her !) Thank you so very much...again ! |
| 2009-09-15 | cindy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Karen, Thank you so much for the info. I certainly will seperate her from the others... If she is pregnant and is already acting like this...it will probably be a long month. |

| 2009-08-07 | Sakshi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks a lot. I am doing exactly what you are saying. Hope it helps my pup to get better. I will take him to vet if he doesnt get better; i am just worried that vet will put him on prescription diet and i dont want that as they are expensive and not very nutritive. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. |
| 2009-08-06 | Chandra | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you again. I have spoken to the vet 2 times. They say not to worry, he had diarrhea yesterday and we (the vet and I) think that it was from the large piece of raw meat. He is doing great! Just like he always is. Thank you again. |

Expertise
I have been showing miniature schnauzers in conformation, obedience, and earthdog for forty years, and am a professional dog groomer. I am not a veterinarian and cannot answer questions of a veterinary nature. However, I can give my opinion or share some experiences on some health issues. Everyone should remember that this is a volunteer service, and few of us are up late into the night. Medical emergencies require a veterinary visit, or at least a telephone call... not an internet question which might not be viewed and answered until hours later. If your dog is sick or injured, it should be seen by a licensed professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Experience
I have taught obedience classes and have taught people how to groom for many years.
