Self- washing place...
Took Tootsie today for a wash, blowdry, nail trim, ear clean for $13.00. Why oh why was I going to the groomers? There I paid $35.00 with a $5.00 tip. The best part, I don't have to clean it up either!

Onyx' ridiculous coat
So Onyx has this stupid coat that does not release her undercoat at all. I'm used to Crusher's type of coat, where the undercoat comes out whether you brush it or not, but Onyx' is so stubborn. She sheds all year long, but not like Crusher, and she looks fat. I don't even like to pet...

So the doctor called my sister (who already has a special needs westie) and explained that while she showed absolutely no sign of being spayed prior- no scar tissue, she had no ovaries,...

Apollo injured his back-UPDATE!!!!
I played fetch with Apollo this morning before it got too hot outside. We didn't do anything crazy or over the top. After a little bit I brought him inside, gave him water, put his Koolie Collar on, put him in the A/C, and I got ready for the day. Everything seemed OK. Then he started to seem a ...

What can you give your dog for an upset stomach?
Let your dog take a 24 hour break when he has upset stomach. After that give him some boil rice and skinless chicken. Yogurt and cottage cheese will help the inflamed intestines. You can also mix Gatorade into the dog’s water bowl. Animals, unlike humans stop drinking when they feel sick. You need to...

How do I know when my dog is ready to give birth?
The first thing you do is monitoring the temperature regularly and specially 4 days before the due day. It takes about 58-63 days from the time your dog was bred. Your dog’s temperature is supposed to drop down to 98. The normal body temperature of a dog is 101.5° F. She will probably vomit and stop...

I can’t believe it! A thermometer for dogs ha ha…
Your doggy will love it since is non-contact. *REMOVED BY MODERATOR* and thought was a good investment since there is nothing like it out there. I read on a website that the only way to know if your dog has a fever is by taking his rectal temperature but that’s not true. I searched on Google bar for...

Can a dog get asthma??
Maze gets a cough/wheezing after exercise. At first I thought it was allergies since she does have them, then I thought smoker's cough since I do live in a house with smokers (I'm the only non smoker) but the only time she does it, is after hard exercise. Usually when I hear it, I make her rest...

I still brush him regularly, and kill any fleas I find. But other than a couple here and there he hasnt had a problem...

Ortho Vet in Los Angeles Area?
Hi! I hope this is the right place to ask for a vet recommendation. My hubby and I adopted a darling year-old cocker spaniel from a shelter a couple of months ago. We noticed at first that she walked a little funnily, but a week later, it seemed clear that she had an actual limp in her left hind...
