2008-09-25 The Hindu Business Line : One last chance

I followed that car about 20 km along the East Coast Road, and despite the shock of discovering that my friend not only had mange, but was also suffering from an advanced stage of kidney failure, was greatly comforted by the sight of the welcome that the other dogs in the shelter gave, both to their caregiver and to my Ritchie Street dog.

I received a call yesterday saying that the dog had suffered a serious setback after a vet gave him some injections and tablets to relieve his pain. A few hours later, he was gone.

2008-09-25 Another Nutro complaint: Melbourne woman says food made her dog sick.

Please help get the word out. Dogs could die from this and pet owners are thinking they are feeding their dogs a good product. I emailed Nutro on 9/20 and 9/22 and have not even received a response. I did file a complaint with the FDA. I am going to check my American Express bill to see when we purchased this dog food. I am asking my co-workers to do the same. So far the vet bill is about usd. 1,000.

2008-09-21 Accent: Pet incontinence is treatable treatable, older, dog : Burlington Times News

Incontinence in older female dogs is caused by a weakened urinary sphincter muscle. This small circular muscle tightens to hold urine in the bladder. The muscle is consciously relaxed to allow urination to occur. In older, spayed female dogs the muscle can become weakened with age. When these dogs are awake they can consciously tighten the muscle to resist urinating, but when they lie down to sleep the sphincter will loosen and allow urine to leak. This not only causes a puddle but can allow bacteria and fecal contents to migrate up the urethra and in the bladder, causing urinary tract infections.

2008-09-19 Mushrooms found in yard kill family dog

Shilohs vet says theres no way to tell for sure exactly what mushrooms the dog ate but after having the dogs liver tested, they found these mushrooms had a toxin called Galerina in them. It can kill anyone who eats it, like Shiloh did. In about 24 hours her liver started to shut down and within three days, there was nothing you could do.

One day she was playing with her dog in the yard and the next, the dog was dying and doctors say its because little Shiloh ate something that could be in your own backyard. It was wild mushrooms and unfortunately, Shiloh died a few days later. Now the pets owner wants to make sure others are aware of what can happen.

2008-09-19 Vet hounds for donor dogs - Ipswich News, Weather, Sport and Local Classifieds Ipswich Queensland Times 08:00:00. 0 - localnews

Springfield Lakes Pet and Vet veterinarian Jason Tait hopes to set up a dog blood donor database for his Springfield Lakes surgery and the Moreton Veterinary Hospital.

We run it straight out of one dog into a citrate bag - it stops it from clotting in the bag itself but still preserves those clotting factors to be used in the body," he said.

He said dogs rarely had reactions to their first transfusion because they were not born with antibodies, but a cross match with the two animals blood was always performed.

The vet told Ms Gileppa that Maggie probably had survived because she did not eat any of the cheerios herself but instead licked Mooks foaming mouth, trying to comfort him. RSPCA Inspector Gary Langford said if the dogs had been poisoned it was a "despicable" act.
