Maui has thrown up most of what he's eaten for the past 2 days. Sometimes, he tries to eat it. Other times, he just walks away from it. What is the best thing to do when he throws up? Let him eat it? Make him leave it? Also, what is the healthiest thing to do as far as food goes. Do I...

Hi. I have a 5 year old female toy poodle who has been scratching frequently since July. She seems to scratch under her mouth, collar area, behind the front legs and sometimes she'll turn around and start gnawing at her back. Then, right after the scratching, she'll sometimes shake herself off...

My best friend just had an MRI scan today showing the cause of her 10 days of seizures, a benign meningioma. We are going to have it operated on by a neurosurgeon tommorrow. I hope she lasts another few years, she is 11 now and otherwise acts half her age. Is there a way to check out dog breeding...

we have 2 dogs, both male. one of them was neutered about six months ago when he was about 9 month old, and the other one remains intact. for some reason the intact dog (and some neighbors' dogs too) always thinks that the neutered dog is a female and tries to mount him all the time. this creates...

I have two Golden Retrievers that both developed hair loss on their rear flanks. One of them was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and has been taking the thyroid pills for 5 weeks now. The other dog was not tested for hypo, because he displays no symptoms. Anyway, the hypo god has much longer...

Hi everyone. I've got a 5 year old Yellow Lab male and when he came in from outside this morning, I noticed his left eye is red and a little puffy. I also noticed some wetness around the eye, so I tried to wipe it with a washcloth but he kept closing his eye and squinting. Any ideas what this...

Or rather, your dog does :) http://www.thesnoodfactory.com/raincoats.html Our raincoats are high quality water-resistant or water-proof machine washable nylon with an inner...

I have a litter of husky pups and they have weird little bumps under their armpits. Some have them on the back of their neck. They don't seem to bother the puppies too much. At first I thought they might be little bite marks from rough play. However, one of the males has lost a small patch of...

Hi all, I finally just got the results of Saskia's second opinion. Some of you may remember that she was diagnosed a few months back with "probable wobblers", and we have been scared. The second orthopedist, a very respected one we were referred to, called today. First of all he feels that her...

Hey Everyone, I recently received an e-mail about a "dog-flu" virus. It is supposed to be fatal. Has anyone heard of this? If so how true is it?

Swelling on paws Hi, Brittany Spaniel, 8.5 yr-old, generally in very good health not counting hip dysplasia (which doesn't seem to bother her). She's got red, swoolen nodes on her paws. In the area of what would be the knuckles on a human. Worst on the

My 21/2 year old " Australian Shepred/Border Collie/etc. mix female dog, found under a truck in the pouring cold Carolina rain in February, has been diagnosed with a "ruptered left ACL". Surgery is suggested within the next month before arthritis sets in. I don't know how she was injured, 'tho...

Any information on cremations on "pick ups" from vets, or by local animal control ? I belong to several pet health groups and have noticed that scads of people who spend big money on care for just a few months extra life with adverse reactions to drugs hand their belved friends over to vets and...

Hi all. The saga with Dixie continues... After the MRI of her brain came back normal, the neurologist suspected Epilepsy. However he took some spinal fluid and the pathology came back showing a type of white blood cells that would indicate inflammation. But they're not saying encephalitis.

My labs coat is a little dull so my vet recommended some safflower oil or Onega 3 diet supplements. My vet sells Omega 3 supplements, but can i give my dog Omega 3 pills from the drug store? I can't imagine it would be different than what my vet sells. My dog is an eight month old Lab mix, about 65...
