pls miss my preiod for two month now pls Dr wot can i do ## It's normal for some women to occasionally miss their period. I know this is obvious, but if you're intimately active with your partner you should take a pregnancy test just to make sure you're not pregnant. My ex-gf had endometriosis and would sometimes miss her period. The human body is complex and your hormones can vary over time. How old are you Seun? Older women aged 40-60 can go through menopause and stop ovulating. Has anything in your life changed significantly recently? Sometimes stress can make you miss a period. Are you on birth control? Many birth control types will cause women to miss their periods or have one so light that they hardly notice. ## It is true if a mother is still in breast feedingshe wipp...

This is going to sound a little crazy. I am a retired physical therapist. At 59 years old i have been very active in sports from a young age. Needless to say I have treated just about every injury that can occur in the human body over the years. Most required pain meds to endure p.t. I have always been interested in mma, so i decided to move to las vegas and train at the major gyms there. BAD mistake! After 4 years of training I was busted up. osteoarthritis and degeneration took place on a whole new level. I started taking vicodin for my shoulder, then my hip, and now for both knees. I don't even want to mention my spine. Vicodin was a huge blessing in the beginning, especially in combo with hrt. It allowed me to fight and train. It gave me energy and endurance (not typical). I hav...

How often do I give gabapentin to my dog? She is 35 pounds. Do I give it to her every 8 hours? ## Please please please have your vet prescribe your dogs dosage and don't try to go it on your own! Human gabapentin has xylitol in it and is TOXIC to dogs!!!!!! ## Ps normal dosage is 1.4 mg for every pound your dog weighs once per day- again NOT human gabapentin. ## My dog is very stiff in the morning and has a hard time moving for 2hrs. My dog is also on four meds for heart disease. I'm afraid gabapentin might do more harm than good. My dog is 13 pounds, age 12-14 not sure. What do you think I should do?Thanks.

I have been given some of this liquid food for use in a road accident pet cat who could not swallow following fractures to her jaw and skull. It passes along the fine oesophagostomy tube well; but what volume a day should the cat be receiving? ## I can only suggest you contact a veterinarian. Our information is only relevant to the use of medications and medical foods in humans, so I have no idea what amount is appropriate for a feline. In addition, it is probably going to differ, depending on the animal's age and weight. Have you consulted a vet?
