Nail problems in dogs and pups

Dog nail problems: A broken nail can also cause a lot of pain, limping, and irritation. Keeping a close eye on the size of your puppy's nails is very necessary because long can break. If it happen, you must cut it to relieve the pain and to prevent more injury to the paw or infections. If the root of the puppy's nail has not been affected, the dog's nail should grow back without any problem. Sometimes puppy's nails will get infected because of bacteria, virus, or a fungus. If you find your puppy limping you should start by examining the puppy's paws very carefully and in if your puppy's nails are hurt, infected or have lesions, then the best thing is to call the veterinarian.

Puppy cysts: When your puppy is constantly licking and biting at its paw and trying to alleviate the pain. It could be a cyst. A cyst is a "sack" of liquid surrounded by body tissue. Cysts normally need to be treated by a veterinarian. It must be noted that cysts don't usually cause any harm to the animal's health, but it's best to take the animal to the veterinarian to check just in case. Cysts often remain unchanged in shape and size for months or even years, and continuous licking may lead to various problems. Such cases need Veterinary attention and should not be delayed.

Inter-digital cyst in a dog - Homoeopathic medicines or surgical excision

Inter digital cysts are common in dogs, especially those with longer hair between the pads of the feet. In most dogs cysts start as a pimple and infection sets up in the sebaceous glands or the hair roots called follicular cysts.
These cysts will occur between the toes and around the bottoms of the feet. Dogs that are prone to cysts will have recurrence throughout their life and there is no way to prevent the problem. Once the cyst is present surgery is usually the most effective way to remove the problem. The cyst and surrounding affected tissue will be removed and the area will be treated with antibiotics and kept clean and dry until healed. There are rare chances the cyst come back in the same spot if the affected tissue has been completely removed. Dogs that have other infections in their body including urinary tract infections, parasite infections, flea problems or ear infections may be more prone to this type of cyst between the toes.
Treatment involves clipping the hair in the area, cleaning two or three times a day with a strong antibacterial treatment and complete drying of the area. Dogs will have to wear an Elizabethan collar if they are prone to licking and this is what has caused the problem.

Alternate treatment for this condition is Homoeopathic medicines. Some times the combination of medicines need to be given depending on the condition of cyst and foot.

Ovarian cyst in a female dog

Broony, 7 years old, female dog was in season two months ago, coupled with the dark bloody discharge for a long period. She made me wonder if she has an ovarian cyst. The cyst could be interfering with her normal hormone production, and account for the bleeding.
A small cyst could be treated with a series of hormone shots to make the cyst mature and rupture. But i decided for the ovario-hysterectomy and blood test was done to check any alteration from the normal values. Finally dog was spayed and these big ovarian cyst were removed. After recovery Broony is living healthy life and even the owners are are happy to see her back to the life. In my opinion, if you do not want to breed female dogs; they should be spayed to avoid problems and unwanted puppies.
