Let me know what you think of this site I created to get free help for pets by vets I'm a vet myself, and wanted a way to help people get reliable information on the internet and for vets to approve that information since they're always the ones that complain about unreliable information on the net. Also, I hope to make it a reliable way to find a decent vet that cares about its community. Any comments / suggestions are very much appreciated. edited to add link to site: http://www.vetrounds.com/ |

I think your site/service seems wonderful - I hope there is a way in the future to browse other user's questions. Thanks for introducing YorkieTalk to your website. :) |
I just asked my question too. I made it kinda hard too :) I can't wait for my answer. ETA: I seemed to not answer all the questions. But the site probably anticipates some user error. |
Thumbs Up for VetRounds! I got my answer and I think that Dr Hur on VetRounds did a very good job. A better job than some of the vets who have actually worked with me and my dog on his case!! Here's what it looked like and I told Dr Hur in my thank you that all 100,000 of us would be asking questions! LOL!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: for Vet Rounds! Question | Vetrounds |

My question was "Why does pyoderma recur in some dogs?" and this was the answer: Pyoderma can be caused by a number of things and just means that there is bacterial infection on the skin. The most common cause is contact or food allergies followed by an opportunistic infection by the bacteria. Oftentimes the treatment includes steroids and antibiotics and while this does tend to clear up the infection, it does not address the cause and a workup for the underlying cause should be performed if it is recurring. If it is happening seasonally, it is likely due to contact allergies, similarly, if there was recently a diet change, it is i likely food allergies. Hormonal changes such as Cushing's or Hypothyroidism can also cause skin conditions which can lead to pyoderma as can autoimmune disorders. A dermatology consult might be of benefit to find the root cause in your case as they specialize in this sort of thing and while the upfront costs can be expensive, it tends to be cheaper in the long run. Good Luck! |

If you click on one of the Dr's heads (at bottom of page) it links you to all the questions they have answered. |
