Our daughter is a dog breeder and uses goat milk to mix with puppy food and allow to soften for the pups she is beginning to separate from the mom. The pups do so well with this. I have four milking goats who are all CAE, Bruc, and Tub. free to provide milk for the pups. When I have more milk than...

Hi............... Thank you all who responded & help me understand what the condition could have been. Mikey does not have cancer. Or does he have fungus or bacterial infection. His path report was clear. Now as for the missing digit the vet has no clue why it's missing. But did say if he starts...

One of my two dogs just got michiefous and managed to pull a deli bag off the counter. In it was a half a pound of American cheese. Other than constipation does this cause any problems??? TIA! -- Jim Tiberio '01 CBR929RR (coming together) '02 CBR954RR

"Spot" wrote in message ... A lot of people swear by cranberry juice to help with bladder problems. Maybe you can get him to drink some daily. be careful with this, most cranberry juice for drinking has a lot of sugar in it. the...

I feel sort of strange sending this note to "the world." But I'm happy to report that Max's urine was without crystals this morning. Max, our 6.5 yr-old Havanese, had previously had surgery to remove calcium oxalate stones from his bladder. He eventually was put on a low-oxalate diet, formulated...

My baby (3yo F Lab) for about a week or so has had little red spots (not puss filled and very barely raised) on her belly mainly (if they're elsewhere it's harder to tell because of her coat). I started two days ago treating her with a cortisone cream and one benadryll a day. There's one hot spot...

Please consider this. I really do hope we can help. Read some problems about UTIs in this group. Before antibiotics, try using Waterfall D-Mannose to clear up and prevent bladder infections and cystitis, because a lot of men and women, dogs an cats, are still unnecessarily suffering from the...

has anyone ever used this supplement? looking for some info on it from people that used it with their dogs.thanks -- AJD

I have a new pup and I'm researching training tips. I didn't realize there were so many dog experts in the world. I got a list of hits on Amazon that would take all week to review. I remembered a guy on TV that I'm trying to find info on but can't remember his whole name. I think part of his name...

From: dgk I strongly believe in population control and believe that there are already too many humans on the earth and that we are destroying the planet. Oh please. How can you believe that? Population control?? What exactly do you mean by that? That sounds pretty ominous. What do you...

I've been following the recent news stories about PCRM leaking the documents about Dr. Atkins. While Googling PCRM stories, I came across a website alleging that PCRM board member, Dr. Henry Heimlich, of the maneuver, has been engaged in various frauds. Has anybody seen any news stories about this?...

This has been going on for quite some time, and it looks like the vets are shooting in the dark now. Started around the end of November, with the dog not eating well, and having "knots" in his rear legs. He was also making occasional gagging/coughing noises. Vet found swollen lymph nodes in the...

About five weeks ago I noticed my 90 lb. Golden was limping somewhat on his left front leg, but usually only when he got up from lying down for a long time.Once he was up, he walked normally. I thought he might have suffered an injury since I had heard him jump up on the kitchen counter where his...

My 5 year old Black Lab mix started doing this when he was about a year old. It scared me to death. I talked to my Vet about it and he said it was "an elongated soft pallet" that caused it. He said that surgery could be performed to remove it but healing time would be slow and said it would be a...
