Old Dog Hurts When Urinating – The Underlying Cause Behind the Problem

By pet-admin, March 9, 2009 11:52 pm

If an old dog has a urination problem, you may wonder what caused such a condition especially if the dog has been happy and healthy in the past. When an old dog hurts when urinating, chances are he may be suffering from an infection affecting his urinary system.

Before giving the dog any home treatment, seek the help of your veterinarian so that the culprit behind the dog urination problem can be determined. If for some reason you cannot take your dog to the vet immediately, give him a dose of a homeopathic remedy for urinary problems instead of concocting your own home-made formula. Home-made treatments may not contain the right dose and mixture required to alleviate the dog’s condition and may only aggravate the situation. A homeopathic remedy, on the other hand, has been proven and tested to be safe and effective without any danger of side effects. However, as soon as possible, you still have to take your dog to the vet.

The Importance of Good Dental Health For Your Pets

By pet-admin, January 20, 2009 10:51 pm

Dental disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets. Dogs and cats are particularly prone to tooth and gum diseases. An astounding 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age 3, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society.

Normal teeth in both cats and dogs should be white or just a little yellow. Gums should be light pink and smooth (except in breeds with pigmented gums).

Oral disease begins with a build up of plaque and tartar in your pet’s mouth. Without proper preventive and therapeutic care, plaque and tartar buildup leads to periodontal disease, which manifests in red and/or swollen and tender gums, bad breath, and bleeding. When the gums are swollen, they can be painful – a good rule of thumb is that if it looks like it might be painful, it probably is. Pets are masters at masking pain – when in doubt, assume that your pet is experiencing at least some discomfort.
