i have definitely heard of links between metacam and liver problems. i do not know whether the links are strictly anecdotal or have been demonstrated to exist,...
i just googled "cushings disease in dogs" and then ran down what came up until i found something that looked reputable. i don;t know who she is, but it seemed...
Regarding Breaking Sticks: I know professional dog trainers who have been permanently maimed and have lost the use of their hand when attempting to use this...
I have talked to Veda, the owner of Napoli (the injured boxer). Yes, it was Caesar. Yes, Caesar is a Neopolitan Mastiff. And, yes, Caesar is a sweetie....
makes sense, garrett. not having used such a device, i would prefer to watch an experienced pit handler do so before attempting to do so myself. it certainly...
damn. i hate to hear of a male attacking a bitch so visciously. dogs (unlike humans) are more decent than that. i don't worry much when morgan is roughhousing...
Yes, I find it odd as well. Clearly something is wrong. And I meant "breed-specific bans," not "brands," as I just noticed I mis-typed in my original post. You...
That famous show whippet was lost by Delta airlines in JFK. There's been another incident where Delta lost track of an animal: Delta strikes again: Dog breeder...
I suggest that Caesar not be allowed in the run - certainly not until the vet bills have been satisfactorily seen to. And probably not after that either....
While I'm all for breed-specific bans (I proposed banning all Afghans right after 9/11), isn't that a slippery slope? Setting aside the issue of intact-ness,...
Hate to break up this merry band of folk who hate un-neutered males, but Caesar was neutered a long time ago. I spoke to Lea about it in November or December....
Very good idea! I am in no position to participate in enforcing it, however, as I no longer take my own pooch to the dog run (because after nearly $3,000 of...
Think this is very fair. Such a shame, with a dog that size you would think the owner would be way more responsible. How is Napoli doing? ... the vet ... ...
Many of the dogs in the run have gotten into one scrap or another. We only know one side of this Ceasar story, and to my knowledge he is not a constant threat...
Ok, of you are all getting so ban- obsessed, who else noticed that most of these fights involve boxers?! I am not suggesting banning any breed, or at the...
This member of "the merry band of folks," as you so imaginitively call me and I'm not sure whom else, does not "hate" un-neutered males, so please don't put...
I really don't think these bans work, a banned dog can simply make it's way into the run, when regulars are not around. However, not cool that Lea is not...
You are right, and I have talked to Garrett alot about this, because of what happened with my dog, and he did mention to me that boxers tend to get attacked...
While there is probably not enough space to implement all of your suggestions, I think you have an excellent idea here! ... Afghans ... issue ... dogs? ... ...
I totally agree with you. "in fact, when my pooch was attacked by a pit-bull she was very sympathetic and said that the dog should be banned from the run....
I'm new to The Run (large), and the problem I have with my Whippet, Rose (some of you may know her), is that she is too big for the little guys and too small...
While "getting in a scrap" is, as you say, common and not that big of a deal, there is a big difference between getting in a scrap and inflicting damage to...
My apologies, I was just trying to make a sad situation a little more light. (when I said that people were merrily hating.) I agree completely that dogs...
Please, I never said that Caesar's owner shouldnt pay or wasnt responsible. I agree that if your dog is part of a damaging incident, that you should at least...
Veda leapt at both dogs....I can see how he got a bruise. Caesar is not a bad dog. Veda's dog is a typically energetic boxer and by his own admission, this...
