Well, it's deja vu all over again. Pan went in for her annual physical on Monday, and while we were at it, we did a geriatric panel (she's only 5 1/2, but in a breed with short lifespan, I suppose that's getting old). The test results just came back, and while everything else looked good, her T4...

"Inflammatory lesion". Very informative, eh? We're going to try Benadryl for a few days, and otherwise the options will be see if it goes away on it's own, drain it, remove it. It's doubled in size in the last week. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com

Not in response to any one person: It's a little strange to me that so much fuss is being made about the appearance of a drop of blood in conjunction with nail trimming. Those of you who regularly trim the nails of one, two etc. dogs may not realize it but dogs responses to having the quick...

I took my 2 3 year old german shepherd females to a training boot camp when I got them back they both had a severe case of giardia. After 2 rounds of Albon & Panacur, then 2 rounds of Metrondiazole, the diarrhea finally stopped after over a month of treatment. They still had soft stools but a...

my Heinz 57 breed was neutered at a very young age by the Humane Society. She just had her first birthday. In the past few weeks, she has been urinating while laying down (on my bed of course!). She is aware of this, because she frantically cleans herself after she moves to another spot. Urine...

How to use Aromatherapy with dogs: Dogs have 200 million scent receptors in their nasal folds, we have 50 million. Never offer undiluted oils to dogs! Dilute each essential oil you have chosen individually by adding 1-2 drops to 5 mls of base oil. Do not offer more than three oils at any one time...

I've got 60 lb, 11-year old Chow mix with a dry cough - we're on day 2 (seems better tonight). I'm thinking if the symptoms are gone in couple of more days there's nothing to worry about. Comments (please)?

I was taking a lovely walk with Blue. The air was filled with the smell of roses. He and I both kept sniffing the roses as we passed by peoples gardens. On the way home I decided to pick a rose that was on a friends property who is living elsewhere for the summer. I picked the rose and took a long...

Hi all, I am a young driver who is still driving with a temporary license. Last night I was driving home at dark on a road where the speed limit was 45 mph. I kept my speed between 40 and 45 mph, and the roads were wet as it had rained all of the last two days and there was still a light rain...

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills, If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,

Rudy, 14 mo old Golden, has a strange tumor on his side (ribcage). When I slide my hand over it, it feels like one lump, but when manipulated between my fingers, it has 2 parts to it - one larger than the other. FNA yesterday resulted in a very small amount of fluid with a bit of blood from the...

My 1 year old Manchester Terrier toy nails grow too much !! We have to cut his nails once every week, and it seems it's still not enough. I use a Dremel to trim the nails, and I stop when a drop of blood appears. So i know they are short when i'm done. But a few days after (2-3 days) we can hear to...

I understand fleas are particular to their species host, In other words, a dog flea only lives on a dog, a cat flea only lives on a cat, and so on. But occasionally a dog flea will "accidentally" bite a human. What happens then? Is the flea poisoned by the human blood? Does the flea just get upset...
