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.

Me too....

Yesterday, we put our 11 year old GSD Kona to sleep. My wife, 3 boys and me were lucky enough to have a "country" vet who came to our home so Kona wouldn't have to go to the hated vets office. I've had dogs my whole life but never had to do it like this. It's really weird. You see the train coming down the track, you know it's going to hurt when it hits you but there is just no way to really prepare unless you'... (continued)

Say goodbye to my dog?

Thank you so much for writing this article. My dog was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago. It is a large mass and inoperable, but I will try radiation. I am unsure if this will work so I'm coming to the realization that it will soon be time for her to pass on. I'm incredibly sad for my sweet, sweet dog but your article has really helped me feel a bit better about how to approach this. Thank you, thank you!

CYBILL

I feel horrible that I waited tolong to put my lab mix down, yet I am also selfish and did not want her to go.. She was going on 16 y/o and could hardly walk on her back legs and one front leg was getting bad as well. Did I do the right thing? Should I or could I have done anything different? Hard part is my 2 y/o daughter asking about her..... We told her she went to be with Jesus (kinda worked) but still she questions it.. Any advice?

Top 10 dog care essentials

I disagree with one thing. Do not ask your vet about what to feed your dog. They are not trained on nutrition. Learn how to read a dog food panel. Compare ingredients. Your local pet supply store should be able to help with this better than your vet. Beware of online oppinions. Remember dog food companies will all tell you that their food is the best. Beniful is a perfect example. The comercials tell you i... (continued)

Caring for your senior dog

I'd love to see an article like this focused on natural / homeopathic medicine. I have a 12 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I almost lost him last year as a result of medications prescribed by several vets. When I stopped listening to these vets and began cooking human food for him, along with natural pain & preventative remedies, I literally saved his life. He looks better than ever and is healthy and hap... (continued)

Missing My Maggie Mae Rest Easy Baby I Love You

This morning I had to let my 13 year old boxer, Maggie Mae, go. She was old but such a loyal, sweet, loving dog. I miss her so much. I feel so bad - I nudged her to go down the stairs. She got the landing, layed down and starting panting for her breath. My daughter and I took her to the Vet Emergency where the doctor told us she had a heart condition and even if we took her to a cardiologiest she might last 6 m... (continued)
