Natural product to help cut heal?:

My English Setter has a small cut on her leg and it has been there for over a month and it doesn't seem to be going away. We do everything all natural for her. Is there something we can put on it that won't hurt her to lick it.

Thank You

10 yr old Dane with loud panting. Need advice:

I have a healthy 10 yr old Dane who still walks about a mile and a half each day. During a routine vet visit, the Dr heard her breathing & said she may have laryngeal paralysis. When she is excited, her panting is louder, but she has not been intolerant of exercise & often returns from her walk to run around the yard like a puppy. Is there any other explanation for the loud panting when she is excited? Hate to have her anesthetized if unnecessary. Any other clinical signs I should be looking for?

10 y/o Boxer with vestibular symptoms:

Our, boxer dog ,10 years old, has been with symptoms of vestibular disease for almost 3 months. Xrays revealed problems in the bullas. Stugeron did not work. He was given a shot of prednisone and recovered 90% for 8 days, then another shot of prednisone and recovered for another week, but the third shot did not work. Now he will start oral prednisone. He walks in very tight circles to the right, breaths very fast, and is disoriented, and sad, also had nystagmus twice. Is it possible that a vestibular disease lasts all this time? Is there any possibility that our beloved dog recovers? Two vets have seen him and have not prescribed antibiotics. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your advise.
