Lor Gal

My 7 year old Schnauzer has been having a very rough time this year with allergies, chewing on paws, sneezing, irritated red skin, scratching, runny goopy eyes.

The first trip to the vet, he prescribed antibiotic (cefpodoxime) and Prednisone.

Her scratching was leaving her skin raw and bleeding under her muzzle and on her neck, and she was constantly licking her stomach/abdomen area until it was red and blotchy.

Things cleared up for a short time. 4 weeks after the last treatment, the symptoms were back.

He has now prescribed Atopica.

Has anyone had experiences with this drug?

Has she been introduced in a prior episode?

I had a leak and now it's pretty bad looking. What type of company would I call to rebuild this platform in the garage?

Where can I purchase wild toads (native to the Sacramento, Ca area) to turn loose in my backyard. I don't want to hunt them down and take them from the River areas. I want someone who has them so I can purchase a few.

I have a really wet (damp) shady area in my yard

I was thinking that frogs would do well here. Any ideas where I can get a few to populate this area?

These are men that are unfriendly and confrontational. So I'd rather not assume that a friendly chat with them, would go over well.

I have started flicking a few of the cigarette butts back over the fence into their back yard.

What would you do?

They also have a Pit Bull that barks every night from 10 and 11pm. I haven't addressed that either. I'm a little scared of these guys. At least it's only during that designated time frame and the barking doesn't go on all day or night.

I'm concerned about introducing parasites or disease to my pets at home. All pet are up to date with flea & tick meds and vaccines except Leptospirosis which breeder told me not to because of side effects shown from some of her other breeding dogs in the past.

Due to over crowding, and lack of financial funds. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Questions seem to be the same ones night after night and I now relalize that most of the questions are more than likely made up? Yes or no?

Do you like this site better in the daytime when all the kids are in school?

I have a family member that I love that is obbessed with themself. They post all day everyday mundane stuff on facebook. Like, "Having a can of Campbells Chicken noodle soup for Breakfast" Or "In bed at home all snuggly warm, but saddly alone:( "

Frankly I don't know how to deal with this. Is there succesful results from therapy for someone that has Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

And I have supplemented his seed weekly with boiled egg, banana, parsley, apple, carrot, kale,grapes,broccoli. He gets fresh water several times a day. I clean his cage every other day, and give him temped water to take a bath. Is there anything else I can do to make him feel better and be health while he molts?

I see more posts here everyday, about dogs eating chocolate.

If this is true, what internal temp should my thermometer read when I take my turkey out of the oven. I don't want it to over cook. I'm guessing 155 ? Can someone confirm this please.

Also, What foods should I avoid. I know Avacado is on the list of do not feed. But what else?

I have started to walk each morning, about 2.5 miles. How can I stabilize my center of gravity when I go walking? I'm about 40 lbs overweight and I'm trying to get in more exercise each day
