I think the main issue with that treat dinner is related more to the fat and sodium content. If his cough had anything to do with congestive heart failure, which you said it doesn't, the high sodium...

Sunny became a blood donor for the first time on Saturday. The day we went in for screening there was a little Chihuahua who had a parasite of some kind from Central America & had to have a...

I'd be pretty upset if they required a lab on the table.

Rocky has always been looked at on the ground by all the vet's we've been to (we have had three vets as regulars over the years and a few...

The dogs have always been seen on the floor...cats on the table.

They shouldn't be expecting owners to lift big dogs...and, in my opinion, there are lots of times when a dog shouldn't be lifted.

My 13 year old Bella has been using a "Big Barker" orthopedic dog bed for a few months now, and I highly recommend it. Arthritis in her knees has been getting to the point that meds are not...

OCD is a very common problem in Labs. As with your dog, we find it in young dogs that have a persistent front limb lameness that won't resolve with conservative treatment. It's good that they were...

It's sad enough that there are people out there calling themselves trainers who are incapable of teaching a dog to walk on a lead, but shocking that instead of admitting their own limitations they...

Joey did come back to me, rubbed and purred, agreed he'd been a cute and funny boy and tried to tell me he did that on purpose. ...

A week after her first chemo, Fran's blood work is all in the normal range. Yay, Fran!

It sure seems to run in lines, so I think it's a prudent question to ask when looking at litters. I personally have been asked that question a LOT more lately! Anne

She's not looking for training tips....she's just looking for attention.

Well, today was the day. Hoku went in for her all-day post-op check-up: physical exam, x-rays on the TPLO knee, Physical Therapy.

The surgeon just called—her bone is entirely healed—more more...

I couldn't get him to make a happy face. I think he's catching on to tomororow's 'tutoring' appointment.

Could be some puppy acne. If he's not scratching and itching at it, I would watch it for a few days and see if it goes away. If he fusses with it, or it looks pus-filled, red, grows, or feels...

Good thoughts for Remy. When summer hits here all the fun stops. As it was, they were only as active as they were because of the unusual amount of water to keep them cool. Come summer it's too hot...

How about a snowsuit? Some of these look loose enough in the leg to be workable.

What about cutting the arm off an old sweatshirt or sweater or the leg off an old pair of sweat pants? I wonder if there would be a way to leave the waistband on the sweats but cut off the leg that...

Child or kid sized long johns?

If you've got a long enough scarf, you could drape it over his butt and spiral it around both legs...safety pin it in place on both legs...and pin it to a coat to keep it from sliding back behind his...

ah the pill game. That was hard for us as well. Some things would work once or twice (peanut butter, cheese, weiners) but then would stop. The only way I could get her to eat when I needed her to...

I hope things go well for you, too. it's so hard to hear them whining and moaning. When one of mine had a tooth extracted we were given Tramadol for the pain for a few days. They cautioned me that it...

Small steps in the right direction...hope he starts feeling more like himself soon.

Sending Remy good luck for successful surgery and recovery.



One thing both my vet and a surgeon recommended is that once you are comfortable with/pick a surgeon, go with what htey are most...

Sorry to see Remy is going to need surgery. You'd think the preschool teacher would be well aware that 3 or 4 year old children are not oblivious to what's happening around them. Even if the parents...

Sorry to hear it. I was a bit worried by your first post, having just gone through a tear / TPLO over here.

We are in our sixth week post op w/ Hoku. Lots of people here have had this...
