Absolutely not. Over 100,000 pets Worldwide have been Neuticled since 1995 with not a single complication. Each Neuticled pet is insured for up to $2 million against any complication. 100,000-plus Neuticled pets -- 0 complications.

Lumps on dogs are fairly common as dogs age. Most are not serious, but some can be quite serious. Any time that you notice a lump on your pet, please have it examined by your veterinarian to rule out cancer or other health problems.

We feel the removal of a God given body part - leaving a male pet looking unwhole after the traditional form of neutering is not only unethical but unnatural. With Neuticles it's like nothing ever changed.

People know their beloved pet. Their pet can tell them when they are hungry, want to play, don't feel well, hide when approaching the vet's office or will get excited when driving by or going to the park- why wouldn't the pet know a familiar body part is missing? Would he know if his foot was cut off? Of course he would- its only common sense.

A little vomiting or diarrhea here and there seems to be pretty standard for pet dogs and cats. After all, cats groom themselves and get hairballs. Dogs eat all sorts of ridiculous things they aren't supposed to. Still, many owners notice that their pets seem to have vomiting or diarrhea a bit more often than it seems they should.

Any wound that won’t stop bleeding, does not begin to resolve within a few days or becomes infected should be seen to by a vet as soon as possible. If your pet is bitten by another animal and the skin is broken it is important for you to consult a vet regarding infection and Rabies protection. If your pet has been exposed to Poison Ivy and develops swollen eyes, mouth and tongue or appears to have any breathing difficulty, urgent medical attention is strongly recommended.

A fusion is needed if you think the patient's spine is unstable or if after performing surgery on the spine, you think it will become unstable. The other potential reason to fuse the spine is degenerative disease because the disc itself can cause pain, and sometimes the only way you can treat that is by fusing the spine. In my opinion the best procedure to treat patients with disc disease associated with chronic back pain is to have a fusion.

Every year for vaccines and a heath check-up. Every dog should get a RABIES, BORDETELLA, and DISTEMPER. Every cat should get a RABIES and distemper. Even if your pet never goes outside, there is always a chance of escape.

Learning what is "normal" and what isn't for your pets can be tricky at times. If your pet is not actively sick (vomiting, diarrhea) or injured (bleeding, limping), but not his or her normal bouncy self either, it is time to check in with your vet before becoming more serious.

Not all dogs require TPLO to restore knee function. Dogs weighing less than 40 pounds may have a different technique, often referred to as a "lateral suture technique", that will work equally well. This technique is not for overweight dogs. The recovery is slower but most dogs acheive almost normal function in the limb. This procedure does not work as well in larger dogs.

Many times pet owners put off going to the vet because their pet gets very stressed, or in some cases, agressive, when faced with the carrier, the car ride and the veterinary office. If the visit involves the difficult decision about putting a pet to sleep (euthanasia), many pet owners want to avoid the unfamiliar or stressful time at the veterinary office. Here are some tips to help reduce veterinary office stress.

Not everyone! It is true at Durham a higher proportion of students applied to Oxbridge and failed to get in than at other Universities, and this is more pronounced at some colleges (like University College) than others. Generally the majority of people did not apply to Oxford or Cambridge and for most people Durham is their first choice. Often students find Durham represents a much less closed-off environment than an Oxbridge college whilst still maintaining a collegiate feel to the University.

Sometimes pet owners are unsure if they should take their pet to the vet. Other times, they know that their pet needs to be seen by their vet, but worry that the car trip stress will make their pet worse. IF your pet is truly sick or injured, the need to be seen as soon as possible outweighs the unpleasantness of the car ride. Here are some tips to help determine when a vet visit is necessary.

Yes, you will find that vet trips will decrease dramatically as your dog's body becomes accustomed to it's new food. The main reason being is that all toxins from commercial food have been removed from your dog's body and his immune system is becoming greatly enhanced...thus eliminating many common ailments that you might normally make a vet appointment for, such as: dry & itchy skin, many allergies, skeletal problems, teeth cleaning, flea remedies, etc...

Boxer cardiomyopathy can NOT be detected by simply listening to a heart so this kind of 'testing' will not safeguard your breeding programme or your puppy buyers. The murmurs consistent with Aortic Stenosis can be detected by listening to the heart, however, overseas breeders rely only on a 'board certified' cardiologist when it comes to interpreting and grading murmurs so use caution when relying on a vet's grading of a murmur ? further investigation may be warranted.

Is your vet a cardiologist? There are degrees of murmurs and some murmurs are harmless. The testing regimes have good guidelines on what's OK and what isn't and on appropriate tests to work it all out. If those guidelines haven't been followed then you can't be sure that you won't be producing future generations with heart problems. It's also important to look beyond just one dog. Perhaps one dog from your litter has a murmur that may have been due to something other than AS.

This is a false statement. There seems to be a widespread misconception that if a patient has ICP she will always present with jaundice (yellow appearance to the skin). Only a very small percentage of women get jaundiced during ICP.

BOB: It has been my understanding that someone who is applying pesticides commercially (charging you a fee), whether they are over-the-counter pesticides or restricted-use pesticides, is required to have a Pennsylvania Certified Commerical Pesticide Applicator's license for the appropriate category. Below is a 2007-2008 list of Pennsylvania categories: Acquiring a pesticide license requires passing an exam for the appropriate category (or categories).

Also depends on the object. Anything designed to bend or move will be able to do so. So a door could open and close, a car could drive around, a ball could roll, a puppet could walk around. But a candlestick couldn't move around on its own, since it is inflexible. Neither could a hammer lift itself to hammer a nail (or whatever). Certain Songs can give movement abilities, however. For example, Numious Corpus: Wings and that toaster vessel . . .

Thanks to evolution, animals do not readily display signs of illness or weakness. In the wild, ill and weak animals are often abandoned by their pack/flock/herd and attacked by predators. That is why a pet can look OK even when it's ill. Only a veterinarian can diagnose and treat existing and potential health issues. Remember, too, that dogs, cats, and other animals have much shorter lifespans than humans, so pets age faster and illnesses progress faster than in people.

You should report any unusual symptoms in your dog or cat. In addition, please tell your vet if your animal has recently entered or returned to Britain from abroad and say which country/ies it has been in. Please remind your vet of this scheme and ask him or her to complete an official report form for your animal.

We will make every effort to transport animals to a local vet, if the vet has the time to alter the animal. We use veterinarians on a rotation schedule for altering. By using one of our vets, you receive a reasonable, pre-set price.
