So although I am not going to ask "My dog swallowed a tennis ball, what should I do?" I may ask for other opinions based on confirmed diagnosed ailments and how others on here may of handled the situation. Especially since I feed a raw diet, and it is perceived by most in the medical world that dogs with many life long ailments need to be on very specific and regulated diets. So if my dogs were ever diagnosed as such, I may ask for opinions from other raw feeders. Diabetes, for example, usually requires a very specific diet that might make raw feeding "seem" impossible.<br><b>References : </b><br> There are a FEW people on here who’s opinions I value.

I will ask a question here about health ONLY after my dog has been at the Vets and having a problem diagnosing the symptoms..I had 2 cases..one was a dog that would'nt eat and losing weight..x-rays and blood work showed nothing..The other was the dog flu that my Vet did'nt see a case of yet..I found that it was close enough so I took the dog back and once treated they were fine..<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes the smart and responsible thing to do is to take the dog to the Vets..

There are many professionals that are selfless who really help. My boyfriend and I have a pomeranian, and when we first got it, it was mute! We got alot of answers from people who were more knowledgeable about it than we were. Besides, if you're more informed about it, you have a little better information to go to ....if you need to take your pet to a vet, don't you think?

But if you're feeding your dog a low quality food then i would then give vitamins. you really shouldn't give people vitamins they are a stronger dosage and it could cause harm to your dog if they get too many in their system. Could cause liver and kidney failure.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well if your feeding a premium food you should not be giving vitamins.

Also treat the problems as they arise. Which are runny eyes, dry coat and/or mouth problems. Having Lysine on hand for the runny eyes is a good idea. Most FIV cats have the herpes simplex virus and being on 250 - 500mg of lysine (on their food) a day for a week can clear up the runnynes within a few days. I've heard of people using Transfer Factor, as a supplement, to help the overall health as well. But mostly it's the good food that's needed. BTW there are two very good FIV cat lists on Yahoogroups, come on over and join. The owners there all have FIV cats - in every stage of the disease. Most cats stay asymptomatic most of their lives.<br><b>References : </b><br> A cat with FIV will live over 15 years, the most important thing to do is to feed a GOOD food to keep up what’s left of their immune system.

People are here for opinions. If the problem doesn't seem serious enough to have to go to the vet, then they will ask for people's advice. If they don't have to go to the vet, it will save them money, just like us and Dr.s.

But there are good pet vitamins out there. Some, you could purchase through the vet. Also, it the pet food aisle at the supermarket they may have some. The one I see most is by Hartz. The sell both dog and cat vitamins, and usually cost $10-$12 more or less. The vet won't recommend you giving 'people vitamins' to your pet, if you are ok with it, try giving the dog just a half a tablet occasionally, or the best route would be the pet vitamins.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have known of people that give their pets people vitamins, but they only give them to them occasionally, and about 1/2 a tablet, instead of a whole one.
