Milk Thistle
Just got Gibby his Rabies vaccine and put him on Milk Thistle for only a couple of days... didn't have any more. So now I am going to get some more but wondered how many Mgs to give him per day...since they come in different Mgs. He is 113 lbs. Thanks!

Fleas? Seriously?!!?
So, I think I have finally figured out that Luke has fleas. Maybe a week or so ago, I was brushing him, and found a bug on him. He's also had some black dirt in his hair when I've brushed him for a bit. Today, I pulled another bug of the same type off while brushing him. So, I finally looked...

The importance of probiotics
About a month ago, the day after she had been to Purdue Veterinary Hospital for a recheck, Jessie started having very soft stool with a lot of mucus. I took a sample to my vet and no bacteria or parasites were found. My vet said it was probably caused by stress from being at Purdue and he suggested probiotics...

Stinky pee odor
I don't know whose pee it is since they get to go anytime they want along the drainage at the side yard, but it really stinks of ammonia even after scrubbing with dettol and rinsing with diluted white vinegar. It only started to get really bad 3 days ago. I was trying to spot for cloudy or bloody...

And really doesn't like sharing me with other dogs for long periods of times. So I decided to get a kitten to keep him company well I am at work. He...

Bugsy's shoulder
many of you are aware we have been dealing with a front end limp since the end of July with no significant improvement through rest, NSAIDS or pure pain relief (tramadol). We went to an orthosurgeon that couldn't find anything specific outside of some missing cartilage in his toe. I didn't believe...

How often do your dog's nails need to be trimmed?
I just read an article in Bark and they said their one dog's nails stay at an ideal length just from walking a couple of miles a day on mixed surfaces and that their other dog needs theirs done every couple of months from the same exercise. I know a ton of people that get them done by a groomer 1x...

Dark nails
Hi all. My dog who's brown has really dark nails and I'm scared to cut them for him because I don't know where to stop. It literally takes me an hour, sometimes more just to cut his nails. Are there any tricks out there to guide me? I made his bleed twice and I swear if I do it again, he's...

Overdose!
I accidentally overdosed Alphie and Ashton on SAM-e and Ashton's vetmedin. Gave them 400mg of SAM-e twice and Ashton's vetmedin 5mg twice. I called the vet right away and they just told me to monitor not really stating what I should look out for. I'm so scared now. And I need my brain fixed...
