Osteosarcoma by
Jim
Max had his second chemo today. This time it was doxyrubicyn (sp). First
was Cisplastin. This was a breeze. He was full of energy running around
(three legs) and very hungry. It was like he enjoyed it.

Tick? by
Michael K McCleary
I am currently house-sitting a cut little 12 year old beagle mix, and just
found a black bump on his ear. I first thought it was a tick, but it seems
to have hair growing from/through it. Is this a tick?

The pup's owners are in...

aspirin or remidyl? by
Dave
Rimadyl is more powerful than aspirin, and can be very effective for
arthritis. It's definitely worth the money.
Six years ago our dog Sherman, a Basset/Corgi mix, had arthritis.
Aspirin didn't work, but with Rimadyl he had another 5 years of
comfortable walking. One potential problem with Rimadyl...
