I just learned that Proticall is no longer going to be made. We really love the product mostly because its kinda on the water resistant side. What will be a good substitute?

HELP!! My poodle swallowed part of a porkchop bone!!
My toy poodle found a pork chop bone outside and I guess when she heard the neighbor dogs barking she downed it. When she immediately came in she sounded like her epiglottis was stuck but then she acted like she needed to throw up. Eventually she burped and is no longer laying in the kitchen but she...

IMHA
I'm not familiar with forums and threads and such. I don't know if my question will be posted to the correct thread, which is that regarding IMHA. My dog was diagnosed with IMHA last Wednesday. His body destroys reticulocytes in the bone marrow. He was started on meds right away. Is it typical...

When will I know? / False Hope?
My Maggie is a 14 yr old chiwauwau/dachsund mix. On Wed Oct 2, 2013 we took her to the vet. She seems to lack energy but the main concern was her constantly wanting to eat dirt. Her PCV was 19% and vet gave some Iron Supplement/Pepto/Dewormer and told us to come back Saturday. I ended up coming back...
