My cat oy ( i know a strange name, we couldn't think of a suitable name for him and it was the only one he took notice of, so before we knew it. it stuck) He died the other year and i still get choked up thinking of him now. He joined the family when i was 5 years old. At that age i called him...

Ok, my rant of the week. I'm just floored. Kalea went to get spayed and the vet told me to give her TYLENOL for the pain. TYLENOL?!?!?! I was shocked. Last I checked tylenol was a no no for dogs. Anyway, that's my tirade

Hello, everyone... I've just joined the group and unfortunately for a very scary reason... I hope someone here may be able to help. I have a male (neutered)/female pair that are nearly 8 years old now. The female's abdomen has become very swollen recently and I'm worried she's very ill...

I have to vent about this because it angers me to no end. Why is it that people who complain about being broke all the time continue to bring more pets into their home? WHY? :confused: To me, I think that is highly irresponsible to have barely enough money to cover basic bills such as rent...

I just need to vent a minute. :mad: I don't understand how people can put their pets last on their priority list. These are animals who depend upon their owners for love, safety, and their continued health. I don't understand owners who self medicate for months, knowing that the underlying...

A glider medical kit is very important since it is often times hard to find an emergency vet that has a lot of experience with gliders, and since gliders often wait until the last minute to show symptoms. Here is a good list to follow: 1) Q-Tips to clean wounds and apply medication 2) 1 cc...

My hamster has been very sick for the past three days. I checked on her yesterday and she could barely walk, and isn't eating. Her eyes look dry and she can't close them and there is a bit of blood on her bedding. When I picked her up there was some dark stuff under her. (I'm not sure what it...

It is so hard to get good pictures of Remy! She's in constant motion. I can't believe she's 3 1/2 months old already, she's so tiny! She's doing great with her training. She knows *sit*, *down*, *wait* and *come* - and she's reliable with the commands. She gets so excited when I am working...

Which will be today by the time you guys read this!! We're driving down to Sydney tomorrow to have a look at a pure bred brindle Staffy that is in a foster home/shelter (the woman does it all from her house but rescues many dogs and is more like a shelter but it is run from her home) and...

Something is seriously wrong with Scrappy :( she's really quiet, which is very unusual, and she's swaying and stumbling like she's having balance problems. She just got her shots and spayed 2 1/2 weeks ago. Her incision site is fine, temp is fine, mouth is wet, but a little drooly, gums are...

Hello all. I recently got a 6 week old female chihuahua. I now understand that is a bit young to get them. She is doing well though, eating and all. She doesn't want to drink her water though. I have to almost force some in her with a little eye dropper. I got her some Pedialyte thinking...

Scrappy is going in on friday to get fixed. I've got mixed emotions, I'm glad so that she can play with Ira's parent's dogs again and VERY glad that I won't have to deal with her being in heat again! I'm a tiny bit bummed because I had wanted her to have a litter someday. Little bit worried...

How hard it is to lose something you love so much. Something you raised and fought for... Liberty is through with the fight. We both fought and when she decided it was time to go, I helped her. I put Liberty to sleep tonight. She seemed like she was getting better, and then everything fell...

On another board I visit there was a discussion about whether or not to get your dog vaccinated as a puppy. It never even occured to me to not get a puppy vaccinated. I just assumed you had to. Well, a few people were saying "Just plays havoc with their immune systems" and "I have seen...

Poor Scooby (our yellow lab/chow mix) had to be taken into the emergency vet late yesterday afternoon...... Yesterday we went grocery shopping, when we came home we let the dogs outside like normal.... well after we let them in, hubby decided to run to target and pick up the movie "chicago"...

Cockroaches have completely overrun this dump we call home, today I had to throw out about 20lbs of dog food as well as a ton of people food and run out and buy more dog food and rubbermaid containers to keep everyone's food in untill this problem is solved :mad: But, that's a who 'nother rant...

Well, the worst is over. Just to recap... Abby turned up 10 days ago with a horrid gaping wound and the origin is a complete mystery. It's doubtfull it was a bite wound- majority seem to feel she got herself caught on something. There were no teeth marks or scratches, blood or signs of a fight...
