Same with Aussie. Like overnight she developed this itchy skin along her spine. Not fleas, not mange just a reaction to something and we don't know what it is. Oatmeal bath works for about a day or two but I don't want to bathe her more than once a week.

Well DUH! I just got so worried that I didn't see that he's back on his feed. Good news!

With adults it's not that big a deal but with puppies it could be. Has his environment changed? New food bowl? Did he recently have a vaccination? I think you really need to make that appointment.

Aussie is a silky terrier and was $900

The bright colors suggest fun with Fido, but that shape suggests something we’d prefer not to imagine in a place we’d prefer not to think about. These would make great second chance horseshoes for the tossing impaired.

Well I guess there are a couple of issues here. first there does not seem to be any definitive clinical information as to the rate of adverse side effects and just what they are so that brings into question the labeling on the drug. Secondly it would appear that veterinarians, at least the...

This came to me as one of those stupid emails but in my bent mind I thought it might be true. Seeing Eye Dog For Commercial Pilots

Aussie has only made the "great escape" once and was gone for about an hour. I found her sitting on the front porch of our neighbor's house two doors down. I'm not sure if she was just being neighborly or just so stupid she didn't know it was the wrong house. She rarely wears a collar...

What a great story! What they do for us is just so amazing. Here's to Ruby bouncing back!

My golf course gets swarms every now and again but they stay pretty much in the same area. The course just puts up some warning tape and then waits for the wind to shift. Sorry, not very proactive.

In my mind the only thing a flea collar is good for is the bag in the vacuum. Chop it up and toss a couple of bits into your vacuum bag and you'll kill any you get off the rug. Other than that, it's just a ring of toxic chemicals and that can't be good for the dog.

I realize this is an old post but I'm curious what the problem was.

Joce I's obvious that you are concerned but just try to relax. If the vet didn't tell you to get in right away then it's not bloat and that's a good thing. Is she peeing frequently? If she is it could be a kidney infection. Actually it could be a number of things but rather than think the...

The t-shirt idea is great! My only worry would be if you live in a high humidity area would be adequate ventilation for the skin. Moisture, high temps equals hot and humid and that's a perfect environment for bacteria. If Fido is inside in AC then that shirt sounds like a quick cheap fix.

You know that's strange. My dog never had a problem with Frontline but after this last application I noticed that the hair on her haunches and part of her sides had thinned out considerable. She's got like this ridge of regular hair down her spine and then this short hair on her sides. Weird...
