Okay, so giving our shih tzu Frankie his nightly full-body massage last night, I noticed on his front paw (around where our wrists might be) a knotty lump, pretty small, which I'm thinking is just a pimple of some sort. It doesn't look like a bite, its not red or oozing or anything. Frankie...

I wanted to get our story out about Deramaxx before other dogs have similar problems. Remember all the hype and concerns about Rimadyl when it first came out? There were many posts about that drug causing death and other serious problems in many older dogs. Our golden retriever has been on...

Whenever I first come out of the house, or when I first return home, the six German Shepherd-mix puppies (now seven or eight months old?) need physical contact. No matter how tired I am, I have to stop, go to each puppy, touch & speak to them. After that, they're OK. ??? Susan, Su_Texas my...

I have posted in this group and ya'll were kind enough to answer. I really need some advice about my 11 year old long haired doxie. On 7-15-03 my vet did a Chem Profile 2 prior to dental work to take place on 8-14-03. He said the results looked good. We started her on Clavamox on 8-9-03 for a 14...

I have a Boston Terrier that licks her feet nearly 24 hours a day. Her feet are nearly stained from it. The vet said it was allergies. But I know some dogs chew their feet (from lack of blood flow?), but she definitely isn't chewing. Anyone have any experience with this kind of...

I recently adopted a 3 month old puppy from the SPCA. Appears to be some kind of pit/lab/shepherd mix. He had only been in the pound for 5 days, but long enough to catch a type of kennel cough. Started getting a runny nose and coughing pretty much the day we brought him home. Took him to the...
