Yes it happend to me just like many other dog owners in North America, my dog was sprayed by a skunk in our suburban back yard. But you see my situation is a little uncommon (at least to me) because my JRT, was spayed in the mouth and face. We manage to get most of the horribel smell off of her,...

Last night my Lhasa Apso was scratched in the eye by our cat, we have an appointment to take him to the vet this afternoon. Every vet that I called said that he could lose the eye,so of course I am very concerned and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this? His eye is watery and he is...

I have a very lovable active, highly intelligent Jack Russel. It is very healthy and active and seemingly a very nice coat of fur. It has a free range of a few hundred square feet of garden to run around, and free access into the house and her favourate sleeping beanbag. She is as nice as I would...

Hi, my dog has had chronic ear problems and his arthritis is getting worse and worse... i'm really worried about the quality of his last few years (he's a 9 year old Golden). I think i'm going to give him home-cooked meals, rather than the Nutro dog kibble i have been giving him. I have heard to...

Sometimes it appears that my yellow lab gets water in his ears while swimming, esp after diving off the boat. It seems to bother him and he scoots across the rug trying to rub his ear. Are there any drops that can be used to dry this up. Do you think you can use human formula drops for swimmers...

My 13 year old dog is recovering from pyopneumothorax resulting from a grass seed that started when it embedded in his coat, penetrated his skin, threaded through his muscles, and partially collapsed his lung. He has a heavy coat, and the only reason we knew something was wrong, was because he did...
