Hi, I'm a lurker on this board mostly, but I've posted a few times. Some of you may remember last year when I posted about our Golden Retriever having an ear hematoma. Well, we lost Jake last week.... Jake started having trouble getting up and walking around. We contributed the majority of it...

Okay, so I got salmon oil for the dogs, and I'm wondering if it is okay to give it to my cat as well. She has extremely dry skin in the winter and I was wondering if it would help so she's not so itchy... She has some weight issues, and I was also wondering if it would be bad for her weight...

We had three costumes to choose from, but ended up deciding on the Elf's for our Christmas cards... As individuals: Yoda Chewy Lando MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I couldn't go without showing the boys and the Halloween cards we made. In case you can't tell I'll go from top corner to bottom corner: Lando = Chicken Yoda = Spider Chewy = Lobster :lol-sign::lol-sign::lol-sign:

Well, twice now, he somehow got his ear out of the bandage under the e-collar. I had to go to my mothers both times and have her help me re-wrap it because he just couldn't sit still. He's such an angel, I feel so sorry for him. We have until Friday then he gets his stitches out and the...

Just curious if any of you have heard of this or tried this before. Sergeant's has come up with a tablet called "Nature's Guardian Content-Eze". It's an all natural table used to calm your pet down for things like Fireworks, Storms, vet trips, etc... My little ones hate thunder and...

Well, the ear is doing good. It's healing nicely with no redness. However, Jake is being a handful. He's normally an outside dog who only likes to come in when it's cold, or too hot. He's been cooped up in our house since Tuesday because they don't want him outside unless its to go to the...

Well, we had the surgery. Jake is doing good. He doesn't really care for the E-Collar, but everytime we try to give him a break from it, he starts trying to rub his ear on the ground. Therefore, he will be stuck with the collar until it heals. :( He looks so sad with it on. His ear looked...

Hi, our Golden Retriever Jake was to the vet on Friday because he has what they call an ear hematoma. A blood vessel burst in his ear and caused a lump of blood fluid to fill inside the ear. They said it is usually caused by an ear infection and the dog keeps shaking their head and scratching...

It was a Purina perscribed diet of dry food. As far as I know there were no special instructions with the food and I believe the vet wants the cat to be on it long-term. He never even mentioned to my mother-in-law that the cat may not be getting enough water...

THANKS! I'll let her know to wet the food down, or get a good canned food. I was searching the internet and found a food called "Life's Abundance". It seems really healthy. Ingredients are Organic Chicken, Chicken Liver, Chicken Broth, Turkey, Chicken Meal (preserved with mixed tocopherols)...

My mother-in-law has a cat which she was feeding Eagle Pack food to. Her vet told her the cat had crystals in his urine and that he needed to be on a special diet. She got the new food from the vet. However, the first two ingredients in it are corn and wheat gluten??? She is worried about...

They didn't recommend any heat packs, but I have been putting a warm compress on his incision. I'll have to ask about heat packs the next time I talk to the vet. THANKS!

Yoda's doing great. He's walking around well, but he gets tired really easy and needs to take alot of naps.:) He's getting braver because he keeps walking towards the stairs like he wants to go upstairs and we have to hurry up and catch him before he starts. I think he thinks it's some kind...

I really thought my husband wouldn't want me to spend the money. I had Yoda 8 years before we were married, and my husband loves animals, but not to the extent that I do. However, when I came home and told him what my options were he just told me, "I know how much he means to you and I could...

Well, sorry it took me so long to post again. It's been a long week/weekend. On Tuesday, I picked Yoda up from the local vet clinic. They gave me prednisone to give him and basically told me that they weren't sure if it would help or not. They told me my only other option was to take him to a...

Well, this past weekend Yoda (the black Chihuahua in my picture) started losing control of his legs. I called the vet right away on Friday night and they had me bring him in. They decided to keep him overnight to do some tests and x-rays and found out that he had a bulging disc in his neck that...

Bubbatrd, Thanks, for the suggestion. I've had him to the vet for the lick granuloma, but they thought it was because of him being bored. He just started it again, and the last time I took him to the vet for it was the beginning of last winter. I thought it was because he was bored. Mostly in...

What made you think it was arthritis? I'm just curious because Jake will be 10 this year, and I never considered arthritis.... Does anyone have any suggestions of supplements you can get that will help with arthritis? THANKS

Hi, I have a large golden retriever that will not stop licking his leg. He has a sore on it now, and I just can't get him to leave it alone. The vet said it's a lick granuloma, and gave me some antibiotic spray to put on it, but Jake won't stop licking... I myself, believe it's because he is...
