WITH DR. KIRBY OF ALAMO HEIGHTS PET CLINIC Dr. Kirby graduated Cum Laude from Texas A&M with a degree in Biomedical Science in 1979 and earned his DVM in 1984. Dr. Kirby has been the owner and director of Alamo Heights Pet Clinic since 1997. His veterinary interests are surgery, internal medicine, ultrasonography, and rehabilitation therapy. He uses both a conventional and a holistic approach to medicine. Dr. Kirby treats dogs, cats, birds and exotics. Alamo Heights Pet Clinic: (210) 821-5544. Please email all questions for Dr. Kirby to Dana.texasdogsandcats@gmail.com. Q: I am constantly struggling with keeping my dog Spunky, who is a Lab and 7 years old in good weight. How ever, he seems to keep gaining weight and is about 3-4 pounds overweight. He is on the Sr. Diet and I give him minimum treats. Any other suggestions or any other reasons you think why he can not keep the weight off? —Jennifer A: YWeight gain can be a problem for many dogs, especially at middle age. First, a full exam and lab work (to include thyroid) by your veterinarian will rule out any underlying diseases. If okay, your veterinarian will discuss exercise and an appropriate diet (consider Metabolic Diet by Science Diet). You didn’t mention if there are any orthopedic conditions like hip dysplasia that could limit more exercise and weight loss. You should be able to work down the weight in a normal dog over 3.5 months safely. Q. With Cedar Allergies in full swing, my Mixed breed dog seems to be feeling the effects. What are the best things I can give her or do you suggest taking her into the vet for a blood workup? —Monica A: Allergies are very common in our pets; you referenced cedar as one of them. Without testing we don’t know for sure what allergens the pet is susceptible to. Sometimes symptoms are associated with a certain period or season or symptoms can be food related. Antihistamines are generally ineffective, though we have had some luck with Zyrtec. Fatty acids are important, using them would be wise. Changing our environment or where we live is unlikely, bathing the pet weekly can help control allergens on the skin.

Your dog needs exercise! • All dogs need plenty of exercise. If they don’t get it, they will develop bad habits such as chewing on furniture, socks and shoes, or dig up flowerbeds. They may even get depressed, and become really mischievous and unreliable. • Spending 30 minutes to an hour walking to the park with a dog walker, although better than nothing, doesn’t provide much exercise for a pooch, and receiving a picture of where your baby pooped may make you feel better, but it doesn’t do much for your dog.
Introducing Pet Galaxy’s Doggieland ® Daycare and Door to Door Service • For roughly the same money you would spend on 30 minutes for a dog walker’s time, we will pick up your fur-babies from your home in the morning, transport them to Pet Galaxy’s large Doggieland® play park for the entire day, where they can enjoy the park and play with compatible, like-minded dogs. Once they have experienced enough play, they will come inside for an all-important nap before they go back out for more fun again. At the end of the day, we will bring your happy and satisfied babies back home. • Prices start at $24.75 for all day daycare plus $5.00 each way for the bus ticket — flat rate. Our initial target areas are primarily neighborhoods north of Loop 1604 along the Hwy 281 corridor, including Stone Oak, Encino, Canyon Springs, Timberwood Park, Johnson Ranch and Bulverde/Spring Branch. • On request — for an extra charge, we can even serve lunch and/or dinner, administer medications, provide Bath, Brush and Nails service and/or a full groom. • And, of course, if needed —your pet is always welcome to spend the night (or longer stays) with us.
