Cindy, the link posted is one from handicapped pets and is a great story, although it doesn't necessarily have much to do with your duck. It's a great tale of a 'lame duck' though. Something I found in one site says that sometimes a duck will injure themselves as they exit a pond or whatever body of...

Jaque, I tried to find sites that dealt primarily with puppy paralysis to at least provide some ideas. Basically, most of them say you should obtain an MRI (or at least an xray) to see what the problem might be. However, there was one site I was on that suggested that if either parent has Canine Hip...

Well it sounds as if you've got the Taj Mahal of Sprayville! Anyone in need of a...good spray...knows now where to go! Maybe you should invest in a rubber suit!

Hi Baby Clyde! Tell your ma that I found this site - and maybe it's one that could help. I hope so. http://www.animalprotective.org/animals/adopt.htm
As you scroll down the page, there's a list of other agencies for adopting. Not sure which ones might be near your area....good luck!

Barbara, this has got to be terrifying - to feel helpless while watching. Here's some websites I've found. Maybe there's something here that could help. Best of luck to your neighbors - and I think a book about Rudy would be magnificent! That's something I've always been interested in doing myself. ...

Hi Anna. This has got to be terribly hard on you. Here are some URLs which might help you out. HANG IN THERE - NOTHING CAN GET THE BEST OF YOU! I hope these help you. Best of luck to you and Dylan! http://www.handicappedpets.com/Articles/express/ (Handicapped Pets Article - directions on expressing ...

Donna, what have you found out about your dog's "huffing"? Here's some symptoms of Cushing's Disease (as suggested by Carol C as a possibility). As you'll see, "panting" is one of the signs associated with Cushing's Disease. I just wondered if you've noticed any other of these sy...

Hi Trish. I'm not exactly sure what all could be different between Human and Canine Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I would think they would be similar in symptom, diagnosis and treatment. Did they test blood? Urine? How did they come to the conclusion it was RA? MRI? Scan? Draw any fluid from joints? Her...

Wanda, I'm really sorry to hear about Charlie's disk trouble. As has already been said, be sure the steroids are tapered off in short term. Having several disk problems myself, and after having had three surgeries to date, I can attest to the side-effects of the meds and the surgery itself - and one...

Kathy, I'm so impressed with the story of what your class has done! I have got to be the very last person of this group to read the story and I was so impressed that I sent the story to friends of mine so that their kids' teachers might spearhead something of the likes there. I have no doubt that th...

Scott, sorry about that earlier post from Karen - it was really from me using her computer at the time. I'm visiting her (she's a cousin) right now and she directed me to your post.

I only had one pet ever at the vet's overnight: Tip, who had parvo and survived somehow through the charasmatic attention given him by Carol Oats in Kenton. She did it free too since I had NOTHING. The kids and I visited every day. He looked so pitiful with his little 'arm' splinted with an IV and a...
