Maailmaa parhaillaan silpova ydinpäästöjen synnyttämä nälänhätä alkaa saada sellaiset mittasuhteet, ettei sellaista olla nähty maailmansotien 40-luvun. Suomessa ei tietysti poliittisesta harhaisuudesta ja kaunasta johtuvan ydinhaihattelujen yms. takia olla tajuttu päälle kaatuvan...

Does anyone have any particulars about the Canidae Pet Food Class Action Investigation: http://www.dogfoodclassaction.com/index.html where they list: loose, bloody stool rectal bleeding vomiting

Hello all, My 10 year old Chihuahua recently had some teeth pulled, and the vet discovered that there was some trace amount of blood in his stool sample. The vet said it could have come from one of the dogs loose teeth, and that we should re-check it in a couple of weeks, We just had another sample...

Is it a common thing for vets to not mention that an animal is anemic when results indicate it is? Or have we just been really unlucky in our choice of vets? Kathy

and new to this group.....Sooo....if you ever have any dog-related nutrition questions, feel free to ask :)

I was always aware that I was allergic to RED dogs. Any other color dog has never bothered me. And worse yet, if a red dog licks me, I break out in hives. I never understood this. But I was reading in Science Daily http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071030133907.htm about coat color...

I have a Corgi and Lab/Rott mix. They are happier if I feed them lightly in the morning, then the bigger main feed in the evening. My wife says I should feed them once a day. But, in the mornings, it's hard not to when they come in and put their heads in your lap, or just start with that...

A couple weeks ago I visited the Pennsylvania Dutch Market, just before closing for the week, and the proprietor of Amish Country Meats offered me a pile of Country Style Pork Ribs for $1/lb. It's not something I would normally buy, but I could not resist the bargain, and asked what the best...

If Vaccine Immunity Really Lasts for Years, Why Annual Boosters? Vaccine manufacturers' true immunity expiration dates are kept secret from recipients- who only hear the recommended earlier expiration dates to promote...

Hello my name is June and I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a very active and young 80 year old grandmother and when I'm not spoiling my grandkids I just love to go with my other friends to the senoir citizen center here in town or go to the monthly field trips. I also have 2 black labs and...

We're trying out DAP to see if it will help calm our dog. We have the dispenser that plugs into an AC outlet. My question is does the dispenser need to be plugged in continuously to be effective, or can it be plugged in just during the time the dog is alone? The unit didn't come with much...

I googled Canidae dog food, and found recalls, lawsuits, all sorts of negative things. Almost makes me want to ask the old wino what to feed my dog. Steve

Dr. David Kronfeld reports that carbohydrates are most important for dogs in two situations: puppies just coming off the mothers milk (which is 12% carbohydrates) and the lactating bitch, who needs three times the usual turnover of blood glucose for production of milk. He goes on to state that...

A while back (Dec 5) I posted that my golden retriever had been diagnosed with cutaneous lymphoma and asked if anyone had any experience with this disease. I got a few helpful responses but most of the dialogue was responses to chardonnay9 and her view that vets are evil and magic herbs will...

Our dog needs his teeth cleaned and we're considering trying the technique that does not require anesthesia. This method is quite a bit less expensive and we think it would be easier on our dog too, but we wonder about effectiveness. It's understandable that the job can be done more thoroughly...

I keep hearing about a pet food called DinoVite, if I recall the name correctly. Touts it as a great pet food. Anyone hear of it or know anything? Probably expensive, as radio advertising surely is. Steve

Reka has always been a well adjusted dog. Not exactly outgoing, but certainly not afraid of anything. The week before last, she went in for her geriatric baseline panels as she just turned 8. Everything went well. Monday, she had further tests scheduled, and she was at the vets, but Tuck...

Our guy Zack passed away this morning at the vet's. He'd been coughing last week and when I took him in on Friday, the vet said it was Congestive Heart Failure. It really hit me but I had thought about this during the week. He was kept at the vet's to flush all the fluids out of his belly, and...
