    Arthritic Pup

    NSAIDs have been linked to increased cases of gastrointestinal ulceration and renal toxicity particularly with long term use. In our case, when Benoit, our 11 year-old Cocker Spaniel, first suffered from arthritis pains, we had no choice but to give Rimadyl. However, we were not that...

    Kennel cough?

    Benny, my cocker spaniel, had Kennel Cough and it kept us up for nights until we brought him to the vet (we didn't know then that it was Kennel Cough). He had this coughing fit which sounded like a honking goose. The vet gave Benny his share of antibiotics, cough suppressant, and a...
