CdsQ: My dog is 16 years old and has cds. she was put on selegiline for a while but we just didn't see any improvement. my vet said there was nothing else that would help. can you sugest something that is not a prescription that can help with the symptoms? she was on a diet that was ment for cds (science diet food) that was suppose to help improve her symptoms but she would not eat it. she also has lost alot of weight. i'm told to have her on a low protein diet but i feel like i need to change it. her spine is really starting to show. she also has a hard time finding the food bowl and when you feed her by hand it is a battle as well. if you have any suggestions that i can do without going over my vets head, i would apreciate it. maybe some vitamins or even something herbal. A: You could try an herbal product known as senior blend, which contains some western herbs like ginkgo which sometimes can help. it is available from company known as animal apothacary which you can likely find on line somehow. also consider extra antioxidant vitamins like |e at 400iu daily as well as ester c at dose of 1000 mg twice daily. also consider supplement known as bovine colostrum from company known as prosymbiotics and add 1/3 tea of broad spectrum powder from of this company's product per 25 pounds of body weight daily to her food. i have found this product quite helpful

Ear mitesQ: I just got a pug/beagle mix puppy who is 2 1/2 months old. she was diagnosed with ear mites and has received one treatment of acarexx. we also have another dog in the house, a 2 year old black lab/sharpee mix, who frequently plays with the puppy. as of now she does not show the same blackish- grainy discharge typical of ear mites. what are the chances she could catch it and can she still catch it after the ppuppy has received her first treatment? also, are ear mites communicable to humans, and if so what is the risk? thanks! A: Not communciable to humans. also not likely other dog has problem if pup was treated once with that product
