It’s good that the vet was reassuring. They are the experts. You caught it as early as possible, which is great. Because it’s on her belly where...
I would definitely be wanting a Vet opinion. If you’re still considering this puppy you want to know the cause and extent of the hernia, if any...
Yes, same here. Hope things are ok.
Lovely to read :)
My first thought was also a bite or sting. Might be worth talking to the vet about something more for the itching? The benedryl is an...
Like the really endearing way he swallows electric plugs. ....Sorry :D

Thank you for the article - an interesting read. I would definitely go ahead with the steroid treatment after having read that. Seems like just...
It sounds like a tough situation. I’d go with the vet’s recommendation though, even though it means dealing with the side effects. I hope his...
I’m not sure what is more bizarre - eating an electrical plug on purpose or eating an electrical plug by accident. Stanley, you are giving Tatze...
