2008-09-04 Victoria Advocate-Dog survives shotgun wounds
The couple took the dog to Dr. H. D. McAda in Yorktown for treatment of wounds to the head, chest, leg, rump and back leg. Roscoe, who Davidson bought for usd. 800 when the dog was eight weeks old, was given painkiller, antibiotics and an eye ointment and has to return to the vet in a week.
And ldquo;Honestly, I don and rsquo;t know why he did it. They said he was growling at them. But he doesn and rsquo;t even growl at other dogs, much less a person. Meanness is the only thing I can think of, and rdquo; Davidson said. and ldquo;If he had a problem with the dog, he should have come to us. and rdquo;

2008-08-31 Chemicals in pet food can lead to bad behaviour, says top vet-Home News, UK-The Independent
Food allergies and intolerances are being cited as causes of bad behaviour, such as hyperactivity, and illness in pets, warns the vet, whose concerns are backed by experts including clinical animal behaviourist Inga MacKellar, and dog behaviourist Carolyn Menteith.
But in an attempt to prove the case against mass-produced pet food containing additives, Mr Inglis plans to run a trial with a group of 30 hearing dogs for the deaf later this year. Half will be fed on a natural diet during their training, over several months, and half will be given food with additives. The dogs will be assessed for any differences in behaviour and performance.
Millions of animal lovers are putting the health of their pets at risk by feeding them brand pet foods that are packed with additives and chemicals, according to a new campaign that will be launched tomorrow.
A new group will start shortly. They can look forward to eight weeks of hands-on work with shelter dogs and the regulars, dogs belonging to shelter staff, who come along so the students can work with dogs who have varied levels of prior training. The course is no walk in the park - it includes lectures on theory and behavior and a 60-item test at the end.
The courses are designed to give a strong enough foundation for a future career with dogs, but thats not the only benefit. Just spending time with animals is therapeutic, and helping others is even better. By giving the dogs a break from the shelter and teaching them behaviors that will make them more adoptable, the service members give something back, too.
Heres a comment from Rusty Shackelford of Texas. He writes: "after watching the video, i wonder if the cop would say its just a dog if it were a police dog. They rush those dogs to the vet as if it were an actual person. So its not just a dog. "
Susan McVey of Texas writes: "if you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. And San Marcos has a serious infestation of fleas. There doesnt seem to be a high standard for public service in San Marcos. "

2008-08-27 Leamington dog swallows duck-Kenilworth Today-Back to Home Page
The seven-month-old pooch was play fighting with another dog over the bath toy, but when he began losing he preferred swallowing the plastic prize to giving it up.
Vet Hannah Ferguson, who followed up Ozzies treatment, said: "Its not uncommon for dogs to swallow strange objects, although they tend to chew them into little bits first.
At first Ozzie seemed unaffected, but when he began vomiting Mr Townsend took Ozzie to vets at Avonvale Veterinary Hospital in Warwick.
Leamington dog swallows duck - His namesake was once notorious for biting the head off a bat, but Ozzie the Staffordshire terrier felt less than bubbly when he swallowed this rubber duck.
According to the blog, the vet said a second hole in the ball would have allowed air to pass through the toy while the dog played and prevented the vacuum. This event has caused Chai a great deal of pain and created some very hefty vet bills for his family.
His tongue swelled and the ball had to be cut off by a vet. It did so much damage the dog had to have his tongue amputated.
