My doggie.....?

My dog is 9 yrs old and has skin problems. It makes me very sad to think about, but what's even worse is that she has a tumor too. The tumor isnt cancerous it's just a fatty tumor, but it is still very sad i luv my doggie more than anything and to see her suffer is terrible...what should i do? She already has help from lotsa vets.

My doggie.....?
Just love her and keep her as healthy as possible for as long as possible. don't try to prolong her life though if she is in pain. The best thing for her if she is and pain meds are working is to put her down. THats hard but also the most humane way to treat her.
Reply:the skin problems are probably from the food you are feeding. Get her on a quality holistic food like California Natural
Reply:I would look into alternative therapies if you haven't yet. when medicines don't get the job done go back to nature. maybe you could mention it to your vet.
Reply:I'm sorry sweety but if lotsa vets can't help how can simple folk help? Otehr than putting fatty oils (grease) and egg on her food, there is really not much you can do. Skin problens are usually allergies. Also...please do not use chemical sprays like Fabreeze. Fabrich sprays have been known to cause irritations to mossdt cats and dogs. good luck.
Reply:Don't worry about the tumor, unless it starts to get in her way of walking, sleeping, general movement, etc.





For the skin issues I would seek out a homeopathic vet or try some homeopathic remedies.





I've listed a good contact for where to find those and what to use.
Reply:You may need to change your dog's diet. Lamb and rice is a good choice, but definitely ask store personnel what they would recommend. You may need to take your pet in for more frequent hair trimmings and ask salon personnel whwat types of shampoo would ease the skin problem. (you didn't mention what the problem was) Oatmeal shampoo is good for relieving inflammation.
Reply:Oh my goodness I am crying and I am not a person who cries but that is super sad.


I love my dog like my child so I completely understand.


You should just hold her and rub/scatch her behind the ear/belly as much as you can.


Maybe you could give her a soothing bath with an appropriate soap I was thinking maybe a soothing oatmeal baby soap or a soothing soap that baby's use to help them relax and sleep but not 100% sure if you can use those on dogs.


My dog likes a little massage on her back ... not too hard but just enough for her to relax.


Anyway, I am so very sorry and you hang in there be strong for you doggie because she can sense things people are feeling esp. their owner.


Take her for walks if she can even if it is just for a little fresh air and exercise.


Take Care baby everything will be alright. Much Favor
Reply:My dog had skin problems, all his life, and we used a shampoo called derma soothe that we got from the vets office, and it actually worked, that was the only shampoo that actually help with his skin problems. We tried so many other things, and it was the only one that actually made the itching stop. And I know how you are feeling right now, my dog had some of the same problems, but he was 14 1/2.
