A LOT of the time, you have to give a medicine to a dog or cat that won’t eat. Worse, there are dogs who have no problem at all with biting their owners. (My dog would sooner die)
When you get a dog that won’t eat a pill, in a treat or piece of cheese or bread, you need to push the pill down their throat, or make it into a ‘drink’. And syringe that into the dog. Continue reading Pilling The Impossible Pet Dog or Cat→

When you get blood work back on a pet (Cat), it’s about nine years old and it shows kidney failure it’s not always clear what’s going on. There’s another test or two that you’d run on a dog and there are some tests you could run on a cat. Actually, there are ways to spend thousands. Or, treat the treatable? Give this a listen.
The above does not constitute advice or replace the necessary input of your regular veterinarian within the confines of a VCPR. The above is as much a ‘document’ for the benefit of a particular client I sent to this, as it is to others who may face the same situation.

Old Dog Tremors – Is it Normal For My Dog’s Leg To Tremor?
Commonly we will see one or two limbs on a dog that simply tremor. Key elements of a “Don’t Worry About It” response are: 1) Pet seems unaware 2) Happens upon some excitement 3) Pet acts perfectly normal in every other respect 4) It’s not constant at all. Maybe daily.
