2008-02-29 Comment is free: Recategorising danger

The awful tragedies of kids being killed or maimed by family pets are awful, but I see no practical, legally viable way of preventing most of these except by measures that unacceptably restrict our liberties. Owners are sometimes to blame, but the "dog lobby" is wrong to say that they are always to blame - some of these tragedies have occurred with dogs who have never given any trouble and in families as responsible as is practically possible. Like, yeah, I would always try not to leave any kid alone with a but then I dont have kids, which makes it easier, and households with kids and dogs cannot be police states -INEVITABLY the kids are alone with dogs sometimes, just as INEVITABLY they are sometimes momentarily entirely alone and very rarely in these circumstances they fall out of windows or electrocute themselves.

2008-04-16 Usd. 1. 5 million in dog fines as bad owners punished The Daily Telegraph

Yes, there are irresponsible dog owners out there, however, the majority of people, like most things, do the right thing. Parents also create fear in their children in regards to dogs. Growing up, we had an Australian Terrier who was old and frail, yet the 10 year old across the road was frightened of her - why, because her mother was terrified of dogs. One also has to question the push by the State Labor governament for more and more high and medium density housing, resulting in more and more people living in apartments and not being exposed to animals. I also wonder if all these parents complaining about their little darlings having to share a park with others and their dogs are the same parents who dump their kids into childcare from 7AM to 6PM 5 days a week - if you want kids, then raise them and look after them, dont

2008-05-17 Pit Bull Owners Defend Breed Following Fatal Attack

I dont know if you can say a breed is all good or all bad, but there are definitely some pits that are dangerous and others that are gentle. Im not a dog person but I lived in a home with a pit for a few years and that was the first dog I fell in love with. She was so gentle she was scared of my cats. She came from a litter where the siblings were being bred to fight; they turned out to be extremely aggressive and unsafe dogs. This particular dog was playful, intelligent, protective, and lots of other good things. Ill take my chances with a pit bull rather than a man with a gun any day. Someone suggested a tax for pit bull owners, I think that would be unfair to those who cant afford a tax but would otherwise make great dog owners. but they could require a license or certificate or something, that would require

2008-05-30 Dog owners arrested in mauling death : Local News : Abilene Reporter-News

I really do hope justice prevails, but I wont believe it till this case goes to court and they are hauled off in shackles to serve their time. These are the kind of stories that I just can not understand. I have a two kids, we go on walks in our neighborhood, even if I was with them, I would have a hard time defending all three of us. I would do whatever it took but to save my kids, but these are strong animals. It is an owners responsiblity to keep their dogs in a fence, if they dig out, it is still your responsibility. People need to start taking responsibility for their actions, and their animals actions. I should not have to worry about going to my car and getting attacked by an animal.

2008-06-17 Technique Used In Human Ankle Injuries Modified To Treat Dogs Knees

Cruciate ligament tears are five times more common in dogs than humans and cost U. S. pet-owners more than usd. 1. 3 billion each year. The new technique is not for every dog. Because surgeons must be able to drill tunnels in the bone, dogs must weigh at least 40 pounds for the Tightrope CCL method to be feasible. In addition, dogs that cannot follow a physical rehabilitation protocol after surgery and dogs with limb deformities are not candidates for this technique. The 10- to 12-week rehabilitation period is very important for any surgical technique for CCL deficiency in order to optimize successful return to pain-free function and reduce complications, Cook said.

A common sports injury in human knees is even more common in dogs. Each year, more than one million dogs suffer from cranial cruciate ligament deficiency, which is comparable to the anterior cruciate ligament injury in humans. The common method of treatment by many veterinary surgeons involves cutting the tibia bone to stabilize the CCL-deficient knee in these dogs. Now, a new minimally invasive

2008-01-22 New Pet Product Could Save Thousands of Dogs from Euthanasia

As a Veterinarian, having to euthanize a dog just because the owner cant control its bad behavior is very disturbing. And because the majority of dog owners dont take the responsibility, time and money, to train their dogs, I have seen far too many perfectly good, healthy dogs put down because the owner was convinced the dog was beyond help. This is a big topic at Veterinary medical conferences and one of the biggest concerns among Veterinarians. This simple, but effective training tool is something I can offer my clients that could save many dogs from being given up or worse. " Dr. Brian Golden, DVM

2008-07-03 FDA Approves First And Only Single-Dose Antibiotic For Dogs And Cats

Since skin infections are generally secondary to underlying skin problems including allergies and parasite infections, pet owners may first notice certain behaviors that indicate a problem. For dogs that might include biting or chewing areas like the top of the tail or legs; closer examination might reveal broken hairs, a rash-like appearance, red pustules and patches of thickened skin that may look darker than the surrounding skin. Cats will sometimes appear to be itchy, especially around their head and ears, and scratch these areas.

2008-06-30 Should dog owners give vaccines Culpeper Star-Exponent

In Virginia, it is technically not illegal for dog owners to purchase rabies vaccine or to inject it into their own pets. However, owner administered rabies vaccines are not recognized for the purpose of licensing dogs or in the case of health department investigations of dog bites. An owner-vaccinated dog that bites a person could be subject to a six month isolation quarantine or euthanasia even if the owner administered rabies vaccines at appropriate intervals. If the same dog had been appropriately vaccinated by a veterinarian, the quarantine period would only be ten days. Since owners are legally required to license their dogs and the licensing process requires a veterinarians certification of vaccination, the effect is to require owners to have a veterinarian vaccinate their dogs.

2008-05-28 Greeley is an unfriendly place for canine companions Reader Submissions The Tribune

So long as there are irresponsible dog owners, there will always be a tension between dog lovers and those who would ban dogs from any public place. So, dog owners, be responsible, use good judgment, and to the city, I believe that it is time to review present ordinances and make Greeley a place more like other Colorado cities in the acceptance of dogs. Allow dogs in parks -- on leashes. Provide dispensers of plastic poop bags and barrels for the disposal of those bags.
