http://fullcoverage.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060117/ap_on_he_me/pain_new_target *WASHINGTON - The dog hopped on three legs, pain from bone cancer so bad that he wouldn't let his afflicted fourth paw touch the floor. His owner was bracing for euthanasia when scientists offered a novel experiment:...

I had an email response from Canidae this am. That was quick since I only sent the question last night. The answer was that they have not changed the formula and that they have never done feeding trials. Something about exceeding industry standards and not testing on living animals. That...

What's a 100% safe anti-inflammatory (or equivalent natural supplement) for an 8 year old male Golden Retriever with arthritis in one back leg? The problem isn't severe - he struggles a bit to get up and limps for 2 or 3 seconds after a long rest, but is then fine. I've read all the horror stories...

We have a 7 month old beagle/dachshund mix that has had a persistent bladder infection problem since we brought her home at 7 weeks of age.

I have a female Yorkie that has wart/cyst like raised areas on several places. My vet told me they were nothing to worry about unless they begin to grow. I have to be very careful when scratching or rubbing her, and also when taking to be groomed. There have been a couple of times when the...

Hi, I'm researching and writing a technical paper for a class that I'm taking and would appreciate any personal experiences that people (and their dogs) have had with KCS.

I've put a link below - but in case it doesn't work, simple go to www.hillspet.com and look for Prescription Diet j/d. This is a completely new method of treating arthritis. The extremely high levels of Omgea 3's and an inverse Omega 3 : Omega 6 ratio are part of the methodolgy. The food forces...

My sheperd is starting to get pretty bad in the back leg area. He's been diagnosed with DM. The Vet suggested getting some shoes to prevent hurting his feet. Anyone have any suggestions on a good kind? Thanks.

Our dogs love the meat rolls and kibble. The reason we switched to Natural Balance was several dogs had problems--weight gain, skin dander, dry frizzy fur, itchy skin, always hungery, and terrible gas. Natural Balance has only been used for three months. The overweight dog lost 10+ pounds, when...

Anybody got any tips on the above subject, more on the natural remedy side if possible ?

Hey, so I have 2 dogs, Mini Aussie, Jazz and Sheltie Mix, Sunny. My mom and I (Im 17) do their toes regularly and use a dremel. Recently (about the last 3 times we've done the toes) Jazz totally freaks out. She starts shaking and panting uncontrollably and tries to hide in my arms or climb over...

I am getting a free sample of Fido Nutrients for ordering K-9 Liquid Health 5000. I am wondering if it is worthwhile giving this to the dogs, or if there are any particular kinds of dogs that are likely to benefit from it (for example, if this is not necessary for dogs fed a good balanced...
