Hello... I have a 6mnth italian greyhound who has quite stinky breath... sometimes it smells like fish but that might be from eating the cat's food... Anyhow, I had read that they are quite prone to dental problems and if not cared for their teeth will start falling out as soon as 1yr. Are there...

On average, across the surveys, around 2% of scientists admitted they had 'fabricated' (made up), 'falsified' or 'altered' data to 'improve the outcome' at least once, and up to 34% admitted to other questionable research practices including 'failing to present data that contradict one's own...

Hi everyone. I just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself. I'm cuddled up with my adorable puppy right now. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I took Bubba for a walk this morning at 6 on the way home, even feeling bad and limping on his back leg he still thought he could get a squirrel. Of course it helps when the squirrel runs "right" under your nose heading for the telephone pole. He bolted to the pole and ran around it trying to...

Hi guys, I know it's not quite the subject but this dog is so cute! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXo3NFqkaRM

Fleas? Well, if you have animals beyond a goldfish or pet snake you probably have to deal with them. They spread parasites like tapeworm, can carry a variety of diseases, and they’ll get on you and leave annoying bites if you let them, so fleas have to go. The easiest method is flea collars,...

I took Bubba to the vets last week for being lame on his right leg. He had an acl repair on the left almost 3 years ago. No problems with it. Changed him from Rimadyl to metcam for a week along with tramadol to see if anything got better. No change in a week and he's still not able to walk...

Two weekends ago i took my little dog camping. I notice she was trying to pee frequently. She did that in the past but not that frequent. The next morning i notice every few steps she was attempting to pee. then i notice the blood dripping out from under her. I rushed her to the vet over 100...

..... 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...

Canine Health Concern was formed in 1994 by Catherine O'Driscoll, after two of her beautiful young Golden Retrievers - Oliver and Prudence - tragically died. She asked, 'why?', and the answers that came back were sufficiently disturbing to make her feel that independent research was necessary...

After my recent ordeal with my newly-diagnosed diabetic dog, which cost quite a bit just to stabilize him, I was looking at more costs for possible follow-up evaluation, insulin adjustment, etc. (Though he is doing so well, I think maybe he's pretty much on the right dose, 4 units twice a...

Hi there I was looking around the net and this video made laugh. So have a look at it and tell me what you think. Eric Churches http://www.break.com/index/excited-pug-ruins-kodak-moment.html

My little one, a ten year old "Schnoodle", has seemingly developed a diabetes-like condition, with frequent urination, desire for water, etc. It happened suddenly, with a day and a half of accidents in the house--unheard of with this wonderful little dog. He also had a high temp, and after a...

I recently read a raw feeder say that he sends samples of his diet for testing to make sure that the diet meets his dogs' nutritional needs, for both macronutrients and micronutrients. He said that most vet schools have labs that will do the testing for you, and that he's used Cornell, Michigan,...

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...
