Limping/favoring back leg...
It started 2 Saturdays ago, when she came home from the groomers. I posted about it in the grooming section, long story short Tootsie took a flying leap onto the concrete floor. She favored it for about 2 days and that was it. Fast forward to today and the limp is back. Manipulated it and nothing. Acting...

Beagle puppy leaking, vet has ruled out UTI and other likely causes...
Hi all! My beagle puppy is 8-9 months old, and I got her 2 months ago. From the time we got her, she has had about one accident a day. I thought it was a housebreaking issue at first. 6 weeks ago she got spayed, and they found a urachal remnant that required them taking out a ton of scar ...

How nice...
took Tootsie to the groomers yesterday and the owner (former employer) told all the girls working, that Tootsie is a jumper. So when you pick her up hold her tightly and if she is in a crate thats off the floor, when you open the door she will shoot out like a rocket. Pick her up at 2:30, by 5 she was...

The cure causing a side effect?
So yesterday morning T-Bone got his steroid shot for flea allergy dermatitis. It's doing the trick and he isn't itching at all, thank goodness, but he seems off. He's usually bouncy, happy, dorky, and he follows me everywhere and I can't even go to the bathroom by myself, lol. Today he...
