    Stupid cat is peeing everywhere!

    I work at a vet clinic and our first suggestion would be a urinalysis to check for a UTI.

    Hematoma in a Weimaraner Anyone? Help?

    I have seen a few cases of hematomas that were not fixed by the vet, but healed on their own- it can leave the ear very misshapen and wrinkled. I also recommend having the veterinarian fix the ear:)

    Do indoor birds stink?

    My little conure does not really have any smell I can distinguish unless he just took a bath. He likes to cuddle under my chin and if his feathers are wet it is a pretty weird odor. As far as feeding goes, I give him the pelleted food Roudybush Maintenance during the day since that is a...

    Easiest way to get the Wormer down a Donkey's stubborn throat!!???

    You can try giving him/her a few CCs of applesauce from the syringe first. Let the donkey get used to the idea of a yummy treat getting squirted into the mouth and then give the dewormer. The donkey will be surprised, but at least the dewormer is in the mouth. Then every 2 weeks just visit the...

    Vet refuses to put our dog down, suggestions?

    I am very sorry for your family's loss, thirteen years is a long time to have a dog and I am glad that you did not wait as long as most people if she was in such pain. I am also a veterinary technician/vet student and my butt would be in the unemployment line if I pulled that crap at my...

    Interesting thing my vet told us tonight about dogs and allergies.

    Allergy testing with blood (Radioallergosorbent testing) is actually quite accurate. My clinic does it for $300 and takes only a few days for the results to arrive

    Cocky little parrot

    Recently my FI and I got a 3 month old green cheek conure named 'Flappy'. He/She is a wonderful little bird and very affectionate towards us and warms up to strangers quickly. Flappy can usually be found sitting on our shoulders as we walk around the house and do chores or watch tv. We really...

    Question for horse owners:

    I can answer the last question for you! Many land grant universities offer excellent animal & poultry science programs. I graduated with a bachelors and masters in equine science from Virginia Tech and I absolutely loved the experience. I chose to go into the field of veterinary medicine, but...

    How to get rid of fleas?

    Your veterinarian should have a pill called Capstar that kills all fleas on the dog within 20 minutes. My clinic charges $14 for the pill. Bathe- a medicated bath would be ideal so ask you vet if he/she have any samples they can lend you. Apply a flea preventative like Frontline Plus...

    Pig artificial insemenation

    I've done it before....it is a very simple process. The AI straws are usually corkscrewed like a boar's penis and you literally screw the wand into the female's cervix until it locks. Add in the semen and she is as good as bred!!

    Question about dogs with bloody diarrhea? Graphic description, sorry!

    You need to have your dogs seen asap. If they are having bloody diarrhea they can become dehydrated very quickly and from your description I would think it sounds like Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis. http://vetmedicine.about.com/cs/dogdiseasesh/a/HGEindogs.htm For clients I work with that...
