  • Distemper outbreak in Thailand

    A while back I wrote a post about distemper and how I thought the disease may be making a come back in Canada.  Today I read on the Reuters.com website that Thailand is experiencing an outbreak of this disease.  I certainly hope that this disease does not continue to spread as it did in the 60's and 70's causing a lot of heart ache for ...

  • Summer is coming....and the days getting warmer

    I know some of us can't believe it but summer is coming.  Do you know what the signs of dehydration are in a pet?  Do you know what to do?

  • Pet Insurance an Employee Benefit

    I know that when working at a veterinary clinic I got a lot of my pets' medical needs and supplies at cost which was a great benefit of working at a clinic.  But as I read an article on MSNBC more companies are giving their employees pet insurance.  According to the article ''Veterinary Pet Insurance,  the nation’s largest ...

  • Would you do this for a living?

    I just read this article on the Daily Mail about a gentleman who ''sniffs and peers at the product he is testing.  Then he samples a soupcon, noting the blend of flavours and aromas.

    Working at a clinic I sure saw a lot of different things that dogs, cats, ferrets and other animals swallowed that didn't quite make it out the other end.  The top of the list include the rubber cap off a crutch, a bag of balloons, a pair of underwear, numerous colors of socks, the plastic nob from the cord of a venetian blind, a whole ...

  • Invisible fencing.....the pros and cons

    A veterinarian that I used to work for had 2 labradors that loved to run, run away that is.  So instead of building a fence she had an invisible fence put in.  An invisible fence consists of placing a wire just under the ground that carries a radio signal.  A small receiver is attached to your dog's collar and when your dog gets too ...

  • Big, friendly and a definate hero.....

    I read about this on the AOL website.   Lurch, a 200lb mastiff, is receiving an award for donating his blood 20 times and helping out many dogs.  If you want more information on blood donating by pets read a previous post called Pet's need blood too.
