Heart Flutters

Resolved Question: why is marijuana’s main chemical THCor Cannabinoids still illegal?

August 30th, 2008 | by admin | Open Question: My dog has been coughing for 4 months?
My Shih Tzu has been coughing for 4 months and I have brought him to 3 vet clinics, seen 5 vets and 18 medical reviews in these few months but no one vet can cure his coughing problem.
I have done xrays and blood tests which doesn’t reveal any problems in his heart, lung and liver. Though the liver function test shows slightly elevated ALKP level but the vet is not worry about it as the elevation was due to the drugs. The Chemistry profile, CBC shows that everything is normal. The xrays show an enlarged heart but it isn’t abnormal. No heart murmur. No heartworm either.
He was diagnosed with heart problem and pnuemonia initially but the last vet we seen convinced us there is nothing wrong with my dog’s heart and lung. He said the cough is due to a soft windpipe and he will cough for the rest of his life. He has 3-5 light coughs about 5-8 times per day. Other than coughing, he is perfectly well. He has a nice shine on his coat, a pair of clear eyes, no abnormal ear discharge, eating very well, alert and playful.
When I double checked with the current vet, if the cough is due to lung tumor or liver stress, the vet confidently said no. I noticed he coughs from his abdomen. I don’t know if this is something that I have to settle with or I should continue to investigate it.. Is there something I have overlooked?
Can anyone give me some pointers?

Open Question: Should dermatoligists do check ups on general health before offering medications for acne?
I ask this because with such dangerous drugs like Accutane and loads of antibiotics that do more damage then good, I believe it should be required to see what might be going on in other parts of your body that is making your skin unable to regulate common bacteria thus enabling the developmentacne legions.
I say this because i have battled acne for the last 5 years, terribly the last two. My problem? Lack of dental hygiene. I never flossed a day in my life, and would brush only sporadically daily.
As soon, and I mean the very next day, as I visited a dentist and had an uber cleaning, I literally woke up the next day, and this is even after I put finger to face and brought world war three on the latest globby whiteheads, the next mornign I woke up with ZERO new lesion. I had at this point became used to making my way to the bathroom every morning to see what new buildups and pimples where now there. A week later, and my face is the clearest it’s been in years and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
My point is, I believe acne is allowed to check in if your bodies’ immunde defenses are busy waging war elsewhere in the body. In my case it was my body fighting the stuff eating away at my gums. I swear I will never go a day without 3x brushing sessions, flossing flouride mouthwash and the waterpick. Good oral health, by the way, combats everything from cancers to heart disease,
Dermatologists would ensure their patients health by inquiring about what’s going on the body instead of looking at the damage cystic acne can wreak and prescribing medications that only further disrupt immune activity. This is serious am I wrong? The vast numbers of those with unfortunate oral care regimans compare to the vast numbers of acne suffers, and I don’t believe it’s a coincidence.
