I'm part of a class that milks about 100 cows and we each have a few shifts a week. It's a LOT of hard work, but eventually you get to know the cows and what each one is like. It's all about being able to recognize even subtle differences in behavior or health. You'll probably have a lot of...
Ugh, please, the only camping those two did was the 20 minutes in front of the cameras, before they went back to their trailers and had their makeup brushed up! It's sick that SP probably gets a hefty chunk of money/episode, and god knows what Kate gets to parade her kids around. What is it...
I think it's definitely a good idea for you to go with a cull cow! They're usually better trained and used to milking, HOWEVER may cows that are cull cows have cystic ovaries or cannot be bred for some other reason. It might be best to go with a 1-2 year old heifer who might be culled for more...
Please please don't bring more unnecessary puppies into the world. It's a great experience for kids and all, but honestly, your kids are going to get bored about 5 hours after birth and then what? Do you and your wife have jobs? Assuming you do, who is going to be with the puppies during the...
If there was grass growing in my dogs ear and you've actually seen pus I would take it to the vet ASAP. That's not something, personally, that I would mess with on my own. Good luck!
Nobody has mentioned yet, I believe, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Very low in energy, very good lap dogs, and the ones I've encountered have not been very yippy. Just make sure you get from a reputable breeder, as the couple I've seen from pet stores have had health issues. I'm also a fan...
Most vets in my area sell it, I know one advantage to getting it at a vet is that you can buy it individually, or get the discounts/promotions that Frontline may happen to be doing, but it is generally more expensive from a vet, though not by much.
This can often work for many people and their animals, and if you want to take the risk then so be it, but I also work at a vet and even though I've only seen 1-2 cases of Frontline toxicity it is nearly always deadly or incredibly expensive to fix. One cat was in intensive supportive care at...
Rabies vaccines are required by law in all states. Honestly, if you live in a big city setting and your dog is inside a lot it's less likely for it to get rabies... but I'm assuming you would probably need to get it license if you're anywhere near a city, and licenses require rabies vaccines...
In addition to shampooing it's good to also use a product like Frontline to keep them from coming back on and laying eggs, although in bad scenarios you will need to treat your environment too (beds, couches, rugs) with a spray. Also, if they're coming from the outdoor environment then a long...
I'd do a quick search for it in the search bar on here, there was a topic about it not long ago with a lot of helpful tips from owners with dogs with mega-esophagus! Good luck!
I second the raw beef bone, plus you can just refill it with peanut butter when the marrow is gone. I've also found this blue toy called an "Everlasting Treat Ball." The treats it comes with are rubbish and are dug out within seconds, but if you fill it with mini milkbones or whatever you can...
