My husband hand delivered Buddy's records to the new vet today and met with. I have yet to meet him as I have been too busy at work to take any time off. So hubby has done all the leg work and speaking to the vet, but poor thing is confused. The vet was talking to him about vaccines and blood work, the old vet's office did not make copies of Buddy's last vist in April , however, I did ...

I'll be looking for an update tomorrow!! She's going to do great!!

So I'm thinking Loki might just have arthritis. He's got his vet appointment for Sat, so we'll know more than, but in the mean time, my 2 first questions are: How can the vet tell if it's arthritis? What can/will be done if it is arthritis? I know somebody had mentioned Arnica so I'm hoping to get him some of that to help him out. I mean, I know what arthritis is and the basics of ...

Ok, I know that it is a good idea to have your dogs hips tested.. But upon doing some researce I've come across both OFA and Pinhip, Now my question is witch is better?

Ok I know this should be a simple question of ins and outs, but unless Mira is raiding the fridge when we are out I don't get it!!!!! She is 70 pounds and getting 2 cups of weight control food a day ( I threw the bag out so I don't know the calorie content, but its low). We walk her just about everyday, usually its off leash, with a lot of ball throwing. We limit treats, but she is still ...

What kind of dogs are the best with children under 5 years old? I have a son that wants a dog that will wrestle and play with him and be his best friend and pretty much let him do whatever he wants (nothing mean) to the dog.

been away from the puter............ but this is him.. and the discharge cleared up, haven't seen it since.

Hi my jack russell terrier is about to have puppies but I am worried because for the past week her temperature has been between 97-98 and my vet indicated that when it drops that low that within 24 hours she should go into labor. Any advice?

I've read that Labradors are more prone to having issues with their anal glands and Poppy had to have hers regularly expressed a couple of years ago. I put it down to not being able to get her to eat properly and changing food to try to find one that she'd eat (yes, I know got me wrapped around her little paw at the time ). As you know she went for her booster yesterday and I asked the vet ...

I found this while researching Canine Seizures. I am not sure I can believe all of them, but the last seizure Buddy had I was sitting next to him on the couch on my cell phone and he had a seizure 10 minutes later. I am sure it was not just this, but a combination of stress and a change in the house with Mel gone and he had his heartworm medication a 1.5 to 2 weeks prior. Stress.

So for a couple month's, Loki has been limping off and on. Sometimes he's plays before it happens, sometimes he doesn't. Before I just thought he was pulling a muscle and he'd get over it. It doesn't seem like that is exactly the case now a days... he'll be fine laying down, get up and there will be a limp. With Loki being a rescue - I have no idea what his history is or anything about his...

Why would you pay for an EKG if you didn't ask for one and your dog didn't need one. I wouldn't have payed the bill and I would have gone to the vet board and told them this person is taking advantage of his/her clients. What your vet did was/is very unethical and should be stopped. Gee now I pay $45.00 for an office visit which is high considering when i started with our vet 10+ years ago....

Wasn't sure where to put this - so here are some pics of Loki's teeth - can anybody guess his age based on these pics? (He wasn't all that cooperative)

I noticed when I picked Lucy up a little while ago, that her back paw was hurt her toe nail is barely hanging on and it's bloody and tilted to one side...There is a little bit of blood not much, but the pad of her toe is very red and it's swollen...My question is, is there anything I can do to help her until I get ahold of the vet?
