    For the longest time, Tucker would throw up what looks like just stomach acid, around 3 or 4 am. Very thin, almost water like, liquid. We figured that there was just too much time in between dinner (5-5:30pm) and breakfast (7:15/7:30 am), so I started making their dinner later. He isn't...

    My Great Dane, Charlotte, is 11 years old. We feel extremely blessed to have had her for this long. She still acts like a puppy, runs around, and wags her tail frantically anytime someone comes home. But lately (past 4 or 5 days), she's started slowing down her eating and now barely touches...

    Sydnee seems to be getting fatter by the day. I keep telling her she's just short for her weight, but I finally had to become realistic about the whole situation when she started huffing and puffing 1/2 block into our walk. I've always free fed my dogs. When they're hungry, they eat, when...

    Ok, so I know this brand of food has been discussed before but I just wanted to say that I bought a bag of this today and when I got home from work and opened it up it smelled wonderful! The girls practically jumped in the bag before I could get their food bowls filled. :lol: The bad thing is...
  12. Vents and Rants
    Today hasn't been all that bad. Hot, humid, grumpy staff, a few idiots on the road, some hicks at work..... I just came home with a dehydration headache. I know, I know, drink more water... just no water sources around and I had to cover two areas at the zoo today, so no lunch either. Ah...
  13. Mouse & Rat Discussion
    I've heard that Alfalfa is bad for rats becuase they can't digest it properly, but I know of several rat owners who give their rats Timothy Hay. I always figured the two were very similar. They look the same to me at a glance, I've never really examined them. Is Timothy Hay actually ok for rats...

    I was at the petstore yesterday, and one of the suppliers arrived with a group of the tiniest baby ratties.. I was watching and the owner of the store lets me handle them... so I pick one that has missing most of her tail... and she was so cute.... and he says "you know you want it... take...

    Does anyone else's dog vomit up large amounts of fur? He is brushed on a regular basis, but that doesn't seem to be slowing the fur eating any. His vet thought that maybe he's allergic to gluten. Know of any gluten free dog foods? I was thinking of trying Veggidog and making the food myself.
  16. Animal Welfare & Legal Issues
    :wave: I'm just sitting down to tunafish for lunch and of course, Elvis Lee wants some. I gave him just a bit. (bad, I know) I know cocoa, chocolate, grapes & raisins are toxic to dogs & can even cause death. Do you know of any other foods that are toxic to dogs? :help:

    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the ELISA test they use to diagnose Parvo. I've heard many different stories about it's accuracy and I was wondering if it was possible to get a false positive on this test if your puppy had been vaccinated in the week she was tested. Also, has...
