K9 Advantix Side Effects?

Today I used K9 Advantix topical flea prevention on my 40lb dog. After I put it on her, she began pacing around the house and has been completely uninterested in anybody all day, she just wants to curl up in any strange corner she can find. Why is she acting this way? Is she having an allergic reaction to this product? She acted a little strange last time but I didnt think anything of it, this time...i'm not so sure. Should I stop using this product? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

osteochondritis dissecans

Hi, does anyone have experience with a puppy with osteochondritis dissecans? My puppy showed intermittent front leg limping at about 4-5 months. X-rays showed osteochondritis dissecans (actually in both shoulders - although no symptoms on the other side). The vet recommended restricted activity to give it a chance to heal. 2 months later, the limping was only intermittent, and a repeat x-ray suggested the the l... (continued)

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

My dog has had this issue for over a year...he will whine like he's in pain, chew on himself, then throw up. He usually does it about once a day. My vet has ran many tests and tried different medications, but it remains a mystery.

Toe Pads "fused" - what to do?

The two center toe pads on BOTH of our puppy's front feet are fused/connected. (she is a female Akita) There is no involvement of the bones of the toe - they are separate. Its just that the the pad on these two toes is connected. I'm not referring to "webbed feet" which I'm familiar with - the toe pads are actually connected. This is obviously a congenital issues and I've never seen anything like it be... (continued)

The Great Cat Declawing Debate

I had one cat declawed years ago, i did it because she couldnt hear, and if she got outside, she would get herself in a tree and stay there for long periods of time before anyone would find her (yes she did this several times) If you called for the cat, she never called back. When we did get her back, she was thin, and beaten a bit by the elements. I now have 4 cats, one indoor outdoor, the others strictly indoors.... (continued)

The Great Cat Declawing Debate

You have to take into consideration that there could be special circumstances. I have had many, many cats and refused to declaw any of them - until this last one - I am very allergic to cats, and when the cat allergies "kick in" so-to-speak, I have problems w/ my asthma. Just being around cats doesn't make it all that bad, but if I'm scratched by one, the area swells up and turns red and painful - and then all th... (continued)

The Great Cat Declawing Debate

I believe declawing is horrible, inhumane and should not even be an option. Do you de-tooth a dog for chewing? Cats have claws. If one cannot deal with that, then they should not have a cat. There is no benefit to the cat whatsoever.

The Great Cat Declawing Debate

People will often say "declawing is better than leaving the animal at a shelter" but in reality, most people with a problem with claws would not have gotten a cat in the first place if they knew they couldn't declaw it. People once used that same excuse to debark dogs, but now that most vets will not perform that procedure, there are no more dogs being turned in to shelters for barking. People simply work around it... (continued)

Declawing a cat is horrible and a typical selfish response by lazy "owners"
