Grace has Cushing's Disease
She was drinking up and storm and peeing Lakes. Doctor did blood work thinking diabetes or kidney trouble - all was perfect. She decided to do a cortisol test and voila! She's just so fit and her coat is beautiful. I was very surprised. She is 6 and in, otherwise, good condition. You would never...

Royal Pet Club coupon code
Royal Pet Club has a 10% promotion going on through Valentine's Day. It's LOVE2010. They sell organic stuff like shampoos. A little pricey but I think it's worth it. My schnoodle seems to agree. So, there you go.

discharge color?
Is the initial discharge color during a dog's first heat ever initially milky/clear? All the information that I have found states that the initial color will be red but will later turn light-colored. My gal just started discharging a few days ago, but it is not red. Thx!

My friend was shocked about the hook worms, but thought the cause could be senility. She seems in no pain as she can still run and jump up on...

Parti color poodles
This is just an obsevation, but are there very many parti poodles out there any more? I've been grooming a sweet young male parti lately, and it got me to thinking how long it's been since I've groomed one. In the early seventies, in Las Vegas, there were a lot of parti poodles. Seems like...

raspy breathing
I was visiting my daughter for Christmas and she has a fox terrier that is 12 years old. It is an excitable dog. I noticed that when the dog started running around or getting the least bit excited it started this very loud breathing. It had never done that before. My daughter said it's been going...
