He started acting very lethargic and stiff. Even winced in pain when we touched various places on his body. We took him to a vet and had...

Hello Someone keeps giving us lamb bones to give to out dog. I was just going to ask are lamb bone save then I though I would make it more general. So, which bones are safe which are not? I know chicken bones are not.

My 6-year old Australian Cattle Dog experiences episodes of what I can only describe as "chattering chin" or lower jaw. Her chin/jaw will sort of "vibrate" for anywhere from 10-30 seconds. During these episodes she seems perfectly normal otherwise. We've started watching her when this happens and...

Granted he isn't a baby by # of years but he is my first furkid. In the last year he has had what i would call rapid onset of cataracts. He does have dry eyes and is on tacrolimous (sp?) eye drops. This winter has been especially hard on him with the snow and sunny days. He is really blind and...
