Veterinarian here: ask me anything!

Hello can you please tell me what the treatment / protocol is for a case of brucellosis ?
You can use google for that:
 
Do you think many vets are zoos? Or do you think most are antizoos?
It is certain that working with animals raises the statistical rates compared to the average. If the average humanity is 2%, it can be 3% for veterinarians.
No need to expect drastic values.

I think most of them are neutral, precisely because, as a doctor, they are aware of the dog's anatomy and thinking. And they doesn't think like an avarage idiot in Facebook dog groups.
I'm sure there are aggressive anti-zoo vets out there.
 
So i ride my horse bareback a lot and sometimes i cum on his back and it gets on him. Could that cause any skin problems or anything like that?
 
Howdy zooville!

I work as a mixed animal veterinarian, and am willing to answer any and all animal health questions you may have to the best of my ability. Keep in mind that I’m only one person, and my medical opinion is just that—an opinion, however well informed it may be.

Anything you’re curious about?

Hi I have a 6yo retriever mix with skin issues he's been itching a lot lately and seams to have a lot of flaking skin on his back butt and chest. He's been treated for flees and ticks and is up to date on vacations. Not sure if it's some sort of allergy related issue or just dry skin. I did get dog friendly loation that soothes itching from dry irritated skin and it works somewhat but not for very long.

i would suggest to use a mild anti itch dog shampoo (maybe once a week) to get out the dead skin, then i would get a skin sample at vet for investigation

there are many reasons from fungus to mites - if u want a better opinion here u should upload some pics of the areas if its visible


did u regular clean the resting places? (i would suggest to put easy to clean blankets on them and change them every 2-3 days to no dead skin debis build up there, then wash them as hot as possible with mild cleaner)

and maybe change the dogfood for some allergic ones couldnt hurt :gsd_happysmile:
 
why only these two camps?
non-zoo person doesn't necessarily need to be anti-zoo
Most likely due to the binary thinking of many zoos as "us vs. them", where "Zoophilia" gets redefined as "loving animals (in general)", therefore anyone loving animals is a zoo and anyone who doesn't is an "anti-zoo" or hates "zoophiles" or something like that. This is one of the reasons why I wish people would just stick to the official definition of the term.

Goldens get skin issues unfortunately very commonly. I would hesitate to jump right to food allergies, as these are statistically a bit lower on the list of potential dermatological issues, and you should work through other allergic causes first. Most importantly, don't change too many things at once -- the shampoo AND the food AND the lotion AND whatever else you pick -- you won't be able to identify what the cause was.

If you have a good GP vet and you really want this resolved, I'd schedule a visit to get some eyes on the actual issue, do a skin scrape to look for potential infectious stuff, and get records of the treatments/findings recorded so you have a starting place to work with.

Allergies and skin issues can be a long and frustrating process to work through, and I hope you can figure things out for your companion! ❤️

Wasn't able to get a good Pic however his condition does seem to be getting better with the use of hydrocortisone moisturizer for dogs my best guess is it's the shampoo I used for him dryed his skin out. Thanks for the tips I'll keep them in mind if his condition were to return.

If you don't have one already, invest in a high velocity grooming blow dryer. Goldens and many other dogs have thick undercoats that may take a long time to dry out after a good bath where you are working water and soap down to the skin in the undercoat. This can result in moisture related issues to the skin including making a good environment for fungus and germs that can irritate the skin even further.

This can result in a cycle of giving more baths in hope of helping but it is really pouring gas on the fire.

Best of luck!

Yes , i want do a better for my and her cleanliness,
whenever you plan on doing anything penetrative it's in yours and her best interests to clean hands penis pretty much any part of you that's going to make contact with her genitals. This also includes toys you plan on using clean and sanitize them so that your keeping least amount of bacteria out of there possible...
As for her don't really have to worry about her she's going to clean herself and flush out naturally. You pretty much just gotta keep her clean over all so a bath a couple times a month will do just fine I usually just rince her rear really well in the shower.
