This message is quite long, but I feel that it should be read, especially by seniors. I am one of those seniors, the health care we receive in the system today is outrageous. we are treated in such a way that it makes you feel that you are just a number going through a production line. With...

My little one, a ten year old "Schnoodle", has seemingly developed a diabetes-like condition, with frequent urination, desire for water, etc. It happened suddenly, with a day and a half of accidents in the house--unheard of with this wonderful little dog. He also had a high temp, and after a...

After my recent ordeal with my newly-diagnosed diabetic dog, which cost quite a bit just to stabilize him, I was looking at more costs for possible follow-up evaluation, insulin adjustment, etc. (Though he is doing so well, I think maybe he's pretty much on the right dose, 4 units twice a...

Does anyone here recommend them? My mom's new dog--a wonderful Tibetan Terrier who is just under a year old--had a bad experience with one. She chewed it up and it disintegrated, and it looks like she swallowed the stuff, then spent the night vomiting all over the place. The vet in a phone...

I adopted a fabulous Tibetan Terrier from the SPCA here and took her to my elderly mom up in Kansas. This stretch of the Midwest (a band seemingly corresponding to the northern and southern border of Missouri and stretching across Kansas, Missouri, and perhaps points east, but not...

I am a big fan of feeding dogs homemade food, including what used to be called "table scraps". Having just adopted a wonderful young Tibetan Terrier from the local SPCA, now placed with my elderly mom, we are working on a diet for her. The stew Mom made for her other dogs included onions, which...

We never really figured out what breed he was. Was he a boxer mix? Sometimes when I walked him he would act like a boxer and jab at a cat, or surprisingly, at a homeless person. Maybe that's because he worked so hard for his master, and was once homeless himself. He was saying, "I found a place...

This wonderful dog has had tarry, stringy black stools for a couple of weeks, and weight loss. This is classic for gastroinstestinal bleeding, but the vet is suggesting a tumor of the spleen or liver, which does not make sense to me. Anyone have any thoughts? This is a really noble and fine dog,...

I saw some posts on this recently, but could not find the original. My mom's elderly Mini Schnauzer was doing this recently, and had never done so before. The dog also exhibited signs of a voracious appetite but had been losing weight. Symptoms were complicated by what appeared to be a relapse...

My elderly (88) year old mom's 14 year old Mini Schnauzer had an episode of this, or at least diagnosed as such, a few months ago. It lasted just a few days. Late last month, at Christmastime, she seemed fine (the dog, as well as mom). Even more lively on walks than my little eight year...

Here's a sad story that is all too common. My vet has been boarding an older (11) Miniature Schnauzer for some time. The dog's owner had to go into assisted living and couldn't take the dog with him. (Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that, but the details are not necessary.) Apparently...

What could be worse? That he beats his children or that he has more than one wife? (Both of which may be acceptable in the Mormon faith, as racism was not too long ago.) The old line used to be that a politician's career ends when he's caught with a dead girl or a live boy. What about this?

When I took my little "Stuart" to the vet yesterday we noticed that he had lost three pounds in two years. Fortunately, tests showed no serious abnormalities, though we did not do x-rays. So I am still a little worried. Doctor's orders to feed him more, though he already eats quite a bit for a...

My little dog loves sushi, but in reading up on poisoning in my dog health books. I find that dogs are susceptible to "salmon poisoning" from eating raw salmon. Supposedly this is only a danger in the Pacific Northwest (salmon from there) and if the fish has been

Until recently, I always fed my little dog Innova, which claims to be "all natural" and holistic. Just now I discovered that a substitute I've been using for the last few months, "Nutro Natural Choice", is among those listed as recalled (only the canned and pouch "wet food")
