Thanks for the responses. I like the idea of bringing treats for the whole staff but this one tech in particular has been especially helpful about my difficult tries-to-bite-everyone dog and I kind of wanted to do something special for just him. I don't want to make anyone feel weird tho.

My dog recently started going to the vet every week for intravenous fluids. Do you guys think it would it be politically correct to give a Christmas tip to the one technician who usually does the procedure? He's been really nice to my dog. Thanks.

I used to use Firefox for everything. But recently some work-related websites have been created that work best on Google Chrome, and now that I have downloaded it, I LOVE it. It's so much faster. I have no idea why that would be, but it is!

Does anyone have any info about end of life care for elderly pets? I've looked online but can't seem to find much. Thanks

He's been drinking bucket loads of water for about the past year. He's phobic about the vet, so I've been reluctant to take him. Will make an appointment today tho.

my dog's stools have been weird for the past several days. They're really long and kind of get stuck about half-way out of his butt. Sorry, but I could NOT think of a more delicate way to put that. He's 13. I haven't changed anything about his diet lately.

We've asked about eight vets, none have ever suggested anything because they don't happen often. About on every six or more months. More often when he was younger. This is the second he's had in about a year. From last july, to this July that is.

He's a six year old Black lab, pure bred, He's had them since we got him... he was about six weeks old. Vets don't know what causes them, we don't know what causes them, they used to be brought on by waking up suddenly, but he just had one that wasn't brought on by anything. Sometimes he can...

I have an imaginary pet rock; I call him Snuggles.

Does anyone have Sugar Gilders here? I have been researching them for a few years and I have been considering adopting a bonded pair of them. I was just curious is anyone had experience with them or currently had them as pets. I know that they are a lot of work and have very specific...
