One may as well begin with Steve38's letter to rec.pets.dogs.health: Hello. My parents have two five year old German Shepherd's, otherwise very vibrant and healthy. Three days ago one of them (Simba) had a sudden loss of appetite and got very quiet, one more day passed and it became...

Peas aren't dangerous to dogs are they? A few hours ago I stripped 2kg of peas from their pods and drained them. I went upstairs and came back down to find the colander on the floor, no peas and the dog (11month old GSD) looking up at me rather innocently. He's been consigned to the garden since...

I have no experience with bulldogs, but many dogs sit to one side and sort of sway when they walk...I have had a standard poodle that did this and my current English cocker spaniel does...vets have not commented on it at all...oh, and my childhood airedales all sat over to one side... "Mariann"...

My dog has leukemia. She is a pure bred Siberian Husky. I took her to the vet, and he said she had 6 weeks to live untreated, and maybe up to a year if treated with intravenous chemotherapy. But she would have those side effects and she would have to stay in the vets office a day each week and she...

My chi/terrierX has had a nasty cough for the past couple of days. He's as lively as ever, and has a huge appetite. The vet said he has no temperature, so it could be kennel cough or a virus. He's prescribed 2 weeks of antibiotics 'to see how it goes'. I'm not keen on giving antibiotics unless...

Howdy all - I'm new to this newsgroup and have a question. I've recently been adopted by a German Shepherd (she wandered into our yard and stayed) :) She's getting big quick and I know the time for spaying will be soon, although I may want to let her breed instead as she appears to be purebred. ...

My black lab had an anal sac infection two months back and the vet gave her an anti-biotic infusion (filled anal sacs with A.B. cream), I don't know what kind--it was yellow, and oral A.B's.
