My puppy is missing a rib
I was petting my sisters puppy and I noticed he is missing a rib. I know he is missing a rib because part of it is there, there is only about 1 inch of a rib there, Is this something she should be concerned about and go to the vet to get checked out for?

Bath Master System
Does anybody else use a Bath Master system & if so, do you have an issue with only one type of shampoo leaking out of it? All four of mine only leak the one type of shampoo on all of them, but the other two & the conditioner don't. Does anybody have a clue why this would be happening?
