I have a 10 year old rott that has a licking problem on the right front
elbow because I think it's itching her. It got infected and dr. gave

Urban Wolf Dog Food by
[email protected]
Has anyone had any negative experience with Urban Wolf dog food. It is
a grain free base, to which you add the meat (raw or cooked). I was
preparing a meal for my dog, when I came across a fairly large
splinter of wood in the mix, and I am now questioning the integrity of
the ingredients.

Rick Stevens
Hi my dog needs her claws cutting and I plan on doing it myself. I have
ordered some guillotine type clippers as she is only a smallish dog. I
just need a little advice on how much of the nail to clip back. I was

New puppy from the pound... by
Jessica
I just got a new lab from the pound. He's 10 weeks old, and all he has
been doing today is sleeping. I think that he might be sick. He has a
bit of a runny nose and is breathing rather fast like 100 breaths/min.
They are shallow - like pants, but he does it this fast when sleeping
as well. He has...

of the patient's weight.For example Heparin infusins are given on a

Propalin? by
Klara
Josie (mutt) is on Propalin, prescribed by the vet for old-age
incontinence. It seems to work fine and has no side effects (at 14 she
is exceptionally spry and bouncy!) except one: it makes her really
thirsty! - That seems kind of counterproductive!
We are going back to the vet later this week,...

Young dog's teeth by

I just noticed that my dog, who loves to chew wood and any chew toy we give her has the outsides of her teeth broken off or rather it looks like they have been sheared off half way down. In other words, the outer part is missing half way down. The teeth- almost all of them- are thicker at the top...
