My pup is soon coming up to the time for her first yearly booster shot. However, I've read that this may not really be necessary for her well being. Any advice much appreciated. Rob

I'm surprised your vet hasn't prescribed an anti-fungal shampoo. That seemed to alleve much of the wart and smelly issues I had with my senior dog. A dab of Compound W once a day over a week or two on the problem ones caused them to turn black and fall off. However, senior dogs are prone to...

My dog is prone for hotspots.... He has a typical full coat for a Golden...... Years ago I heard that cutting there hair could be bad for there skin ?? But with the heat and high humidity.. would he be better off with a trim ??

Taking Vegetable enzymes are just as critical as taking the right form of minerals! Eating cooked and processed foods, without enzymes present to help the body digest the food, could be taking years and years off your life! When the body isn't able to completely digest the food we eat, it leads to...

Picked up a stray dog a few months ago and it had extremely bad lice... at first we thought it had been rolling in sand. Got some special shampoo from the vet, and doused the dog, combed with fine toothed comb, and changed all the bedding. It slightly decreased the amount of lice but not...

Hey folks, Can someone recommend a good flea collar that won't make me gag being in the same room with it? Thanks. eddie

Anyone that knows Tacoma WA, or is willing to forward this post...we will appreciate whatever help we can get in recovering this dog... He was sighted last Sunday still on Canyon Road near the Fire Station which is where his previous sightings have been. His last sighting on Monday was on a...

FMy dog is required to start on some expensive medication for her heart condition, and I have found them on the Internet MUCH cheaper than what the vet is selling them to me at. I am in the UK. I told my vet I would rather buy these on the Internet and could she write me a prescription. After a...

Sara sounded like a wonderful dog. It's great that you have such happy memories. Celeste "PHIL" wrote in message ... Hi all:

We just adopted a wonderful little dog. She was spayed on Tues. and cannot have a bath until another week. She smells and of course, we can't bath her. Also, her breath isn't all that wonderful either. What can we do? Thanks Liz

My dog (a 45kg labradore/gsd cross) has been on prednisolone for a few months (one a day) as a last resort to control a rash which doesn't have an obvious cause. As it's become less effective, the vet has given him a depramedrone jab (should last 4 to 6 weeks) whilst he negotiates a very expensive...

In the name of the disruption before established Peace 06.09.2005 *Dog Fishing* I disagree with the sport of Dog Fishing, which uses large hooks and beef cubes to snag Old Fido, reeling him in, and clubbing the **** out of him. This I think is sadistic and uncalled for. It is not necessary to...

From: I have Weigh****chers zero-point soup (mostly tomato and lots of carrot, with some onions and sometimes zucchini or peppers), so now she has it some of that with me. She loves it and seems well on it - any reason it could be bad? The nightshade family is not...

Yesterday, Rocky's paw was slammed by the screen door, catching him in the metacarpal area of his foot. Stoic Rocky let out a wail that I've never heard from him before. Swelling occurred quickly. The vet manipulated his paw, discerning no breaks and said that at this time xrays aren't needed. ...

We adopted an 11 year old spayed Mini Schnauzer over the weekend, from an elderly couple who were no longer going to be able to take care of her. She has (as far as I know, I have not yet seen her vet records - they've been sent to my vet, and we're going there tomorrow) no major health problems,...

I've got a 2 and a half y/o Shitzu. Poor lil guy is always itching at his ear, and if you pet him and touch his ears in the wrong spot, he yelps..is this common? And also, probably twice now in the last 6 months, after sleeping all night, he'll wake up and have what looks like a seizure. I'll go to...

The dog is a huge german sheperd mixed. Usually he is vey energetic and eats everything we put in front of him. Hoewver, during the past week, he just stop eating. He would only drink water. We've tried to feed him anything we can think of but he still does not eat. Right now he looks tired but...
