How To wash your dog
Grab the bottle of dog shampoo and put enough on your dog to get it good and sudsy. Work the soap into the fur, be sure to get the ears and around the face, on its belly and its feet and tail.

Q:Our 13 yr old Brittney has cushings. We have been dealing with the symptoms quite well until recently. The vet says the medication used for cushings would not be very useful at this point. (he wasn't diagnosed early enough or something??) Anyway, lately he has been waking us up three or four times in the night to go out - even though he doesn't need to. I think he's thirsty (part of the cushings) but if we let him drink what he wants, he pees all over the place. He does get lots of water - as much as he wants 'till 8:00 or 9:00 at night but then it goes up. He has also started destroying the house when we are asleep. He hasn't done that since he was about a year old. So I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any naturopathic helps for cushings in old dogs? It would really help us, and him, out. Thanks.
A:I would suggest taking him to a homeopathic vet in your area.
A:I don't know how to find a homeopathic vet. None of the listings in the yellow pages have that designation. :(
A:I would call one of the pet stores in the area and ask if they know of a homeopathic vet, and if not, call one of the vets and ask. Good luck and I hope your boy finds some relief.
