Question by barrettjuanita: My large chow has ringworm what effective treatments are available to quickly remedy this problem?
My chow that is 10 years old recently had precancerous tumors removed at the humane society hospital. Shortly afterwards his hair started falling out and rings in his skin developed. The vets say he didn’t get it there (I question this) and that he probably had the problem for years before the actual eruptions occoured. Since then we have spent a fortune on different medicines, shampoos, etc. We have even began using Lamisil AT. He also has chronic ear infections and eye infections. It is bad enough that he has all these problems but now with the ringworm I am afraid that my other two dogs and two cats may also contract the disease. Years ago I treated my cat with pharmaldihide (a treatment I got from a turn of the century medical book) and just like the book said it treated the ringworm with the first application. However the area on my dog is too great to treat this way. Years ago my dad treated a dog with mange with used motor oil and that worked then but isn’t practical now.

Technique of extraction of foreign bodies with fishing line. Sometimes dogs eat bulky foreign bodies are difficult to catch with foreign body forceps (necklaces, chains, belts …). In these cases it is very useful technique described in this video. Introducing a long fishing line, using the toothed forceps, into the stomach of the animal. Using the toothed forceps, the fishing line is passed through a hole in the foreign body and let go. The fishing line is then regrasped on the other side of the foreign body and drawn out of the mouth by removal of endoscope. The result is a loop of fishing line that passes into the animals mouth, through the foreign body, and out the mouth again, enabling the object to be removed by gentle traction.

Question by Joshua H: My dog is a rescue animal. I found a large worm and blood clot in runny stool today. What could this be?
How would I be able to treat it? Sometimes, with low activity, she will start to pant. And one day, she didn’t eat at all.
