My dog was hit by a car and is paralyzed in the back end

My 2year old spayed female Rottie (Emma) got out of our last Friday night (the 22nd) with our neutered male black lab. They found a weak spot in the fence and pushed through. We looked and looked...drove around, called...finally had to quit when the storms hit. The next morning, our lab came home ab...

Re: Why isn't it standard practice to clean the injection si

My original vets did clean the injection site (after I started requesting it--they went thru the loss of the pup with me, so they understood), but I recently switched vets (mainly for financial reasons, but also because the practice I had been going to, started switching vets too often). It is the n...

Why isn't it standard practice to clean the injection site?

Has anyone had a dog who got Tetnus? We had a litter of Great Dane puppies about 10 years ago. When we took them to get their rabies shots, and got home, we noticed one of the females looked funny. Her brow was furrowed and she looked stiff. We called the vet, thinking she was having an allergic rea...

Re: One kitten dead - - - - - - Is my Vet missing something?

I would also go to your local Humane Society and report this pet store. Our local Wal-Mart (several years ago, when they sold pets other than just fish) was selling rabbits that were very sick...they had a severe case of diarrhea. One of the rabbits actually died while I was looking at them. I went ...

Re: severe head cold

I'm glad she is beginning to feel better. I hope she continues to improve. How old is the other cat? I've never had a cat who slept in the litter box, but I did have a cat, who when he wasn't feeling good, would urinate in his food bowl. Has she always slept in the litterbox? Have you tried putting ...

Re: severe head cold

Hi, Phil! First, I wanted to say I think it is wonderful that you are doing so much for a cat that wasn't even originally your's. Not many people would do that. And I am really sorry about the loss of your girlfriend. That must be really hard having to deal with your grief plus deal with your worry ...

People can be so cruel!!!

We live in Tennessee near the South Holston lake, which is a man-made lake held back by a dam. My brother loves to go kyaking on the lake and one day he stopped at a small uninhabited island (it was probably the top of a hill before they filled the lake) and found this tiny kitten on the island. The...

Re: Two of my cats have cold-like symptoms...

Thanks for responding. I hadn't thought of heartworm causing the cough. I will definitely get him checked. As I mentioned, we have a LOT of animals, probably have too many, but most are rescues, that would probably be dead if not for us. So, although they do get their shots and regular de-worming wh...

Two of my cats have cold-like symptoms...

We have two outside cats that we keep in a large penned-in area. One is a neutered male who had severe head trauma awhile back, when he was hit by a car and doesn't seem to be able to sense danger; cars, dogs, etc... We tried keeping him inside, but would urinate where he shouldn't. The other is his...
