    Luxating patella

    Luxating patellas When my dog was a pup her vet said she had luxating patellas as well. He told me that she could be walking along and suddenly stop and then begin to walk normal again. I have never noticed this in my dog and she is maybe not as active as your dogs but she is not a couch...

    A few quick questions!

    Partial Blindness Has the puppy be diagnosed with partial blindness from a veterinarian? If so, these questions could be directed to your dogs practitioner. If not, perhaps it is time to have the dog into to see the vet as soon as possible to address your concerns. Do not leave this if you...

    Dry skin suggestions

    Moderation is the Key If the dog hasn't has blood work in as recent as 12 months, I would have a complete blood panel done on this dog asap and go from there. I would immediately stop feeding the salmon, salmon oil and coconut oil. It's not a surprise to me this dog is as sick as you...

    Chewing on their foot

    Licking Paw A couple things come to mind. First is yeast as previously mentioned. With the dicoloring it can be allergy related. To correct this, a elimination diet is to be required. My dog suddenly came down with an ear infection once. That right there tells me that her bacterial flora...

    Does anyone know what the heck this is?

    Sore on Belly I'm thinking thorn or grass prong rather than say something internal coming out.. it's hard to tell without actually seeing the dog in person. I read another response stating they wouldn't bother with a vet for a small bump but personally I would take my dog in immediately if...

    any Ideas? Poor Pepper's leg

    Remove Bandage Adhesive from Dog's Fur Okay I am almost crying. This is dreadful. Has been days since your first post. No doubt the tape is still an issue. So not use acetone, even though it will do the job described. Unfortunately most all medical tape adhesive is an alcohol base...

    Feeling guilty for not enjoying my dog

    This Too Shall Pass You know what? You're not alone and I don't even have kids but this happens to me at times too. Life gets way too busy sometimes. Stuff happens. Depending on schedule I can always get up an hour or so earlier to spend with my dog. Instead of sitting here posting to...

    Vibes for Scamp?

    Postive Visualization Positive Visualization for Scamp and you. Sounds rather serious and visualizing him back to normal in no time. My Yorkie was attacked two years ago by a dog she walked with five times previous. Caused a puncture wound to her back. She cried for almost ten minutes...

    Vets pushing their food

    Vet Prescribed Food I've been there. When I became a first dog owner, my first concern was diet. I talked to everyone and read pretty much everything I could get my hands on - even before I brought my dog home! One day at the vets I am directed to a brand of the food on their shelf. I...

    Agility Jumps Lol, I find watching agility rather exciting myself. No boring sounds in my head when a dog flies over yet another jump. I do adore your photos and must ask what breed your beautiful dogs are?
