My Oscar 6-1/2 years old was diagnosed ARVC in June. We did not put him on Sotalol due unfavorable side effects especially during dose adjustments. After prolong consultations with Cardiologists and my own research , we decided not to give him Sotalol, that is not proven to prevent collapse or...

How did you find out that he has lymphoma? Did he show any symptoms or different behavior? Your baby should not go through the suffering of chemo especially him being uncomfortable around doctors and unfamiliar place. We decided same thing for our dog with Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy and Mast...

One of my dog would never play fetch, no matter how much we would try to play with him, the best what he would do just bring the toy once and walked away. He enjoys hide-and-seek game. My other dog loves playing fetch, but when she was smaller, she wanted to get the toy and start to chew on it...

Now my other boxer has lump I don't know what is wrong with us, with our dogs? We discovered walnut size lump on Lola on her side at the lowest rib. It does not seem to bother her or affected her in any way. She is 2 years old healthy clown. I am not planning to take her to regular vet, they do...

Today I discovered on more lump, smaller size, but the same consistency under his front leg ("armpit"), that makes me even more upset. We see Dermatology and Cardiology specialists at the University of Pennsylvania. They are considered being on a top of the list. Cardiologist is not going to...

We have seen cardiologist and had heart ultrasound done, that confirm diagnosis of cardiomyopathy with dysrrhythmia and dialation and he did not ok for anesthesia. It sounds scary and painful to have tumor removed under local. Oscar does not have any CHF symptoms, that is good, but he is tired...

Also, what worked for Oscar, when he was a little pup (30lbs), we always had pressed bones handy as soon as he started to bite on us or kids they would growl "ouch" and stick the bone in his mouth. If this would not stop him, we would take him to the nearest door knob and tied his leash, saying...

My Oscar was sick with something first year: kennel cough, then something bit him (spyder or bee) his face was unrecognizable so he got his steroid shot too, then one of his nipple started to grow as grape. I was concerned that was cancer but that was benigh, after that he smashed on of his...

My 10wks old Lola does not want to walk on a leash at all. She would walk 20 seconds then she would sit down of just pulls back home. I tried treats to lure her, but I do not feel it is right to treat her every 2 seconds. Any recommendation?

Mu puppy Lola started to go after her tale. First we thought she was chasing it, but then she started to cry when she touches it. Tip looks red. Did anyone had similar problem?
