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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lipomas are the adipose tumors that usually occur in the subcutaneous tissues of the head, neck, shoulders and back. These slow-growing, almost always benign, tumors typically present as non-painful, round, mobile masses with a characteristic soft, doughy feel. Lipomas can rarely be linked with syndromes such as hereditary multiple lipomatosis, adiposis dolorosa, Gardner's syndrome and Madelung's disease. The outcome and prognosis of lipoma excision are excellent for benign lipomas.

Many toy dogs live their whole lives with luxating patella's and are never lame. A "luxating patella" would be best described as a "trick knee" which can move out of place if injured by jumping or walking in a hole in the ground, etc. Toy dogs are prone to this because of their diminutive size. No matter how firm the knees seem as puppies, toy dogs are liable to injure their knees depending on the degree of luxation.

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.

Perhaps you know what Yeshu means; it is a Jewish acronym for "May His Name Be Blotted Out" and a play on Jesus' name: Yeshua / Yahashua. This was the hope of the "conspiracy" you correctly cite, from a carnal perspective.

When H5N1 has infected human beings it is exceptionally lethal -- of 112 confirmed cases, 57 have died. The concern is that this strain will mutate so that it can be easily passed on from one person to another -- if this happens, the result could be a pandemic as serious as the 1918-19 "Spanish flu" that killed between 20 million and 40 million people.
