I looked into Pet Airways but they don't fly anywhere close to KY. The closest they fly is Chicago :(

Hello everyone, I haven't been on this site in a very long time. Mostly because I wasn't interested in all the showing/sporting/breeding/etc. stuff that goes on, I just have a lazy, ugly, dog that I LOVE. His name is Dozer and he's an English Bulldog. He's big for his breed (tall) and he's...

Thanks. What's a hot spot? Something that would need treatment or no? I will still be taking him to the vet, but thanks for the post. He's actually closer to five or six now (unsure of his age, he was a rescue). From what I've read online though, stress-induced immunosuppression can...

We have not noticed anything on his neck until today when I gave him a bath. I scrubbed him down vigorously thanks to the red dirt we have here in Hawaii. His last bath was about 8 weeks ago. After I scrubbed him down and towel dried him, I noticed a bunch of hair came of his neck, and in...

Well PoodleMommy we'll just have to agree to disagree then. Nothing "funny" about it. Maybe to a civilian, I guess. And since I have to make it clear to YOU specifically---I actually do quite a bit to help animals, but since you and I don't know each other and you didn't bother to ask, I...

That was not a spouse, I can almost guarantee it. I *am* a spouse, and I think it's sick to even mention it in an ad. My husband has been gone 3 out of the last 5 years on deployments...if I were not a strong, independent, INTELLIGENT person I's be all over those pups paying whatever they were...

Oh come ON! There's a big difference between someone who already owns a dog that claims it will protect them. Big deal. I've seen a lot of "lap" dogs go ballistic over their owners. That's a form of protection. However, claiming that PUPPIES have been trained to protect a DEPLOYED...

I routinely scan the pet section of Craigslist and I probably shouldn't because I usually end up flagging a lot of posts ;). Here's one that just got my blood boiling more than usual...I mean COME ON :madgo::madgo: Bolding mine. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!! There happens to be a LOT of...

Spiritwind, how long did it take to clear up in your collie?

Ohnoz!!!! That's looks EXACTLY like what he has! I don't like the sound of it...long term antibiotics and multiple infections?? Poor guy :( I was hoping for something more benign....off to search for a vet now.

It isn't from his having his nails trimmed. He hasn't had them trimmed since August, and I know he did have this as late as Sept. 4th. I never trim to the quick or even close. Here's a pic:

Last night Dozer decided the plastic top to a toy palm tree was the best/worst thing since peanut butter. He was equally horrified and amazed. We eventually had to hide it because he wouldn't give up the fierce battle :D. YouTube - Dozer Vs. Palm Tree I

We just noticed a couple days ago a large bulge between two of Dozer's toes. I know it's new since late August, which is when I trimmed his nails last, but I can't say for sure when it appeared. It doesn't appear to bother him, he lets me touch it and apply light pressure. It's soft/squishy...

Thanks everyone. We've decided to hold off for now. I know demodectic mange isn't contagious, I was just worried about the stress of adding a new dog in reference to Dozer. But now Dozer has a little something that we need to focus on, separate post.

I think we're going to go see her tomorrow. She is still available according to the site. There is just something about her that is calling me. I can see her potential to be a beautiful dog and happy for the rest of her life. It looks as though she's had pups recently, too. She just needs...
