..... all the recent pyometra cases we've had lately. Seem to have a run on them. Our latest is a cute little Pom. Her uterine horns that should be very small, were as large as italian sausage links. So sick she needed transfusions. If she makes it through the night, I'd be surprised. Just...

I took Bubba to the vets today. After lifting all 50lb him into the car. Which wasn't easy on him or myself. We drove the 3 blocks to the vets. Any other time we would have just walked over but it's too much for him right now. She watched him walk, flexed his knee the good and the one he's...

This crappy rainy cold weather is making him miserable. His arthritis is really bothering him. I had to increase his Rimadyl this week to 100mg to give him some relief. Today I took him for a short walk about 1/3 of what we usually do and he was limping really bad by the time we got home. I...

A friend of my husband raises and butchers rabbits for human consumption. He sells the skinned, dressed, chilled carcasses to customers who order them in advance for $5 USD each. I told my husband that his friend might be missing out on a much larger market, given the recent vogue for raw...
