Health - 28 November 2007

I have a 13 year old Dachshund mix that currently seems to have an infected tooth in the back of her mouth. She's had dental problems in the past, so I've already got a prescription antibiotics for her teeth problems; they're called Clavamox. My vet just let me pick those up.

Since the tooth is already infected enough to make the side of her face swell a bit, would this antibiotic help?

I'm avoiding taking her to the vet.... as there's nothing they can do if she needs a tooth extraction; she's got a heart murmer and they refuse to use anesthesia because of it. There's truly no good reason for me to take her to the vet, I know if I take her, I'll have to put her to sleep.

Now it has gotten bigger where the nail was torn and has some white color under the skin that is visible. Dont want to panic just wanted to know some suggestions

Yesterday, my finger was injured(lawn mower bar snapped back against it) 4 finger of right hand..there was a small cut(horizontally) didn't bleed much. Its above the first knuckle.(palm side)Anyway,today it is swollen in a small circle with the scar running through it, not very red but difficult to bend and painful.
Realize all of that may be normal but how much swelling is too much.(guidelines would be helpful)
thanks

So I had bloodwork done and my doctor said my mononucleosis blood was a little high. I had more bloodwork done AGAIN last week, because she wanted to check it and be sure. But the results came back, and she says now that I don't have mono. What could this mean?

i see all these famous women having babies and wearing bikinis shortly after and i want to know WHERE ARE THEIR STRETCH MARKS? seriously, a lot of moms i know have them, so you would think these tiny tight celebs would get them too? do you think they have them and cover them up or have gotten them removed somehow. i think this makes normal women who have them feel ugly, what are your thoughts???

I have been out of work due to chronic pain. I have spine problems, thoracic outlet syndrome, and now recently found to have Vertigo/Vestibular disease. My balance is way off and always dizzy. The Doctor wants me to have vestibular rehab. I was told I shouldn't even drive now. I have no income and I don't know what to do. How can I get disability? I'm not able to use my right arm either, cannot lift anything over 1 pound, no repetitive work, can't do much.

I just read a post in which a woman with bipolar disorder asked if she should have a child. I know that I'm going to draw a lot of criticism for posting this, but read the rest of this post. First of all, let me say that I have firsthand experience with mental illness. I have depression, anxiety, and ADHD, all of which have genetic components. Because of the fact that these disorders are often hereditary, I have seriously questioned whether it's a good idea to risk having a child who would have those issues. I can't help but think that if someone knows that he/she has a hereditary mental illness, he/she should seriously consider whether it's a good idea to risk having a child who will suffer the way that he/she has suffered. Of course, just because a parent has an illness like depression or bipolar disorder doesn't mean that the child will necessarily have it, but the risk IS there! Many people focus on their desire to have children rather than the possible issues their children would

Ever since I dislocated my Knee 2 years ago everytime it is cold or going to rain I get a ache in my knee. My boyfriend has told me to mention it to my doctor and he may send me off for a MRI scan. But I was wondering if anybody has had the same effect at all after this has happened to them.
