Q. MY dog had to have emergency surgery. She is a young lab of six years old. She had gotten an infection after her heat cycle and became quite toxix. She had pyometra. So after I cried for a day because she might die, and because I didn't know where the money would come from to pay the bill I decided I would pay the bill no matter what I had to give up afterward. How much would you pay to save the life of your sick dog?
A. I would spend as much as needed. I dont have much money but I would spend it all on my dog. She is my life!! I couldn't stand losing her.. Everytime something is wrong I get scared that she will die..
How come people say milk is bad for dogs?
Q. 2 stories: My husband had a dog when we were dating about 9years ago. He found the dog laying on the ground taking his last breath almost dying and growing up people told us when a dog is sick give them milk. My husband gets the gallon of milk ,opens the dogs mouth and makes the dog drink it. After 5 minutes the dog gets up, almost falling but gets up and starts walking. That dog died of old age.
Another story: My small female chihuahua was coughing and vomiting and I gave her milk, within a few minutes, I no longer heard the cough and she stopped vomiting. Do my dogs just have strong digestive systems or what? Or does Milk really help sick dogs?Just wondering if anyone else has used this on there sick dog?

A. Dogs are supposdly lactose intolerant. My dog drinks milk all the time and he is 10 now and living a healthy life. I think milk calms stomach acid like it does in humans which is why a dog would do well to have some. I think that it just depends on the theory people live by...I say whatever works for you.
What is the best food to feed an underweight large breed dog?
Q. We started a rescue in New Orleans and have gotten several underweight or sick dogs, I am looking for a good food to put weight back on them.If anyone can help please let me know,
A. Please, make the investment to get really good food. Some pet food stores will give you donations because you are a rescuer. If there's a Red Bandanna where you are, check with them. They are good about donations, and any food you get from them is excellent. Anything you can buy in a grocery store pretty much sucks. Those foods (even Purina One and Iams) are filled with by-products and corn, which dogs can't digest. They also spray them with fat to make them taste better. At Petco they have Natural Balance Duck and Potato which is easy on the tummy and will help build them up in a healthy way. Also check out Solid Gold, Avoderm (especially if there's a skin problem, this stuff works wonders), and at PetSmart try Blue Buffalo. And again, if there's a Red Bandanna Food Store in your area, anything they have is awesome. I hope that helps, and good luck!
How long does kennel cough last in young dogs?
Q. I'm planning to adopt a dog, but it turns out it got kennel cough. It's only four months old, so how long until the dog would be better if treated? I don't want to bring home a still slightly sick dog because I have an old dog and I don't want her to get sick.
A. First get your other dog treated using the nasal dose (it works better). The cough can last several weeks and is highly contagious. It's not life threatening but can cause complications in an already sick dog. You don't want to expose your other dog to it until you have it cleared up. You will need to keep it in quarantine until it is past the contageous stages.
