I do love people calling the dogfood post "dangerous misinfo" when all I said was that proplan and hill's are both price gouged. When most of the main ingredients of a dogfood are corn I'm sorry but they should be cheap because corn is cheap. When most of the meat is just chicken meal, the food should not cost 30% more than food with more expensive ingredients.

That's all I was saying, and pointing out dog foods in that price range without corn and dog foods with similar ingredients that are cheaper. If you think any of that is dangerous please log off for a moment. Willfully misinterpreting a post and just... assuming I was advocating completely grain-free diets when all I said was that dogs don't need large amounts of corn in their diets is incredibly reactionary and bad faith, and I know it's bad faith because I didn't have a single one of the "concerned" dogblr folk tell me why I was wrong. They just started throwing a fit and blocking me, which is frankly insane for those who claim to be in the vet field.

If your goal is not education, and is instead shaming and discrediting those who disagree with you, I genuinely am unsure what you hope to gain by running the sort of blogs you do. There's a reason I don't find viral owl posts and say "WOW op I cannot beLIEVE you would POST such blatant misinformation on owls, blocked" because that does not provide anyone with any meaningful insight on what the problem is. There's a reason I say "that perch will cause the owl to develop a serious and eventually fatal form of pododermatitis" or "the owl in that video is in distress and you can tell because of x, y, and z", because telling the why is how you help people see your perspective, understand your concerns, and potentially change their stance. Just shouting at them over and ignoring when they ask what the problem was accomplishes nothing other than tell everyone that you did not like the post. It says nothing to why and just asks people to in blind faith listen to what you have to say on the subject. Which will work for your peers perhaps, but it doesn't actually debunk anything or make anyone the wiser.

As this is a space for education, I would be more than receptive to actual discussion on it, but the pervasive culture in online spaces is for some reason just to jump to hostility immediately and assume that someone who has an opinion will never change it if offered new information. You can't change my mind on proplan being expensive, I can look at a price tag and say "wow, what a lot of money that costs!", but if you know some secret reason a company as wealthy as purina MUST charge that high of a price for corn, do tell. If corn is secretly an essential ingredient to keep dogs' bones from melting or something, do tell. Otherwise, if you're the type who's just going to whine about how I'm a threat to dogs anywhere for saying every dog doesn't NEED proplan, bite me.

In Baltimore City, MD: 10 y/o perfect, cuddly senior with the best ears and pouty lip- surrendered when owner passed away- BARCS, Baltimore MD

- Senior Sweetheart -

Coffee Cake- 10 years, altered female, 42lbs

10-year-old perfect senior, Coffee Cake, is a CUDDLEBUG to the max! This endearing little old lady is so sweet and such a lover. She is affectionate & cuddly, will climb in your lap and give you lots and lots of kisses, and she likes to lay her head on your head wagging her tail the entire time.

Tragically, Coffee Cake was brought to our shelter after her beloved owner passed away. Her former owner's family said she was exposed to children aged 5 and older and was playful and affectionate. She also reportedly lived with a kitten, who she got along with well, and she is housebroken.

Recently, Coffee Cake was lucky enough to go on a weekend slumber party with a shelter volunteer, and she had a fabulous time! They noted:

"When not snoozing blissfully on the sofa – clocking up a remarkable 12 uninterrupted hours – we learned what a gem she truly is: incredibly mellow during grooming sessions like sponge baths and nail care, utterly unfazed by furry felines crisscrossing paths mid-hallway strolls, reliably housebroken, impeccably mannered and won't set paw somewhere without an invitation (just ask those stairs that required coaxing before she ascended them)."

While in our shelter's care, Coffee Cake was slightly nervous around other dogs, so we think she'd feel the most comfortable with a very gentle and polite friend like herself.

Upon examination, our vets noted that Coffee Cake has grade 1/4 periodontal disease with moderate tartar, nuclear sclerosis, and pododermatitis- each of her feet are grossly swollen and have mild alopecia. There is also a small interdigital cyst between the right paw's 3rd and 4th digits. She was given a Cytopoint injection, started on antibiotics, and a full medical summary can be provided upon request.

No senior should spend their days in the shelter, and sweet Coffee Cake here is of course no exception. She is available immediately for rescue pick-up.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

Thank you,

Treatment typically includes a combination of medications to address infections or inflammation, topical treatments for soothing the skin, and maintaining proper paw hygiene.

Prevention is key to managing pododermatitis. Regularly inspecting your dog’s paws, keeping them clean and dry, and avoiding known irritants are crucial steps. Dietary changes and weight management can also help if allergies or obesity are contributing factors.

Understanding Pododermatitis in Dogs: Insights from a Virginia Beach Veterinary Clinic

Pododermatitis, or paw inflammation in dogs, is a condition that can cause significant discomfort and pain. At a Virginia Beach veterinary clinic, veterinarians are well-versed in diagnosing and treating this condition, which can affect the skin between the toes, pads, or nail beds.

To diagnose pododermatitis, a Virginia Beach veterinary clinic may perform a thorough physical examination, skin scraping, allergy testing, or blood tests to identify the underlying cause. Treatment often involves medications, topical treatments, and improved paw hygiene. In some cases, dietary changes or weight management might be recommended to address contributing factors.

Preventing pododermatitis involves regular paw inspections, maintaining good hygiene, and managing any known allergens or irritants. Consulting with a Virginia Beach veterinary clinic can provide tailored advice to keep your dog’s paws healthy and free from discomfort.

So, good news! Looks like the limp smol dog has been off-and-on dealing with for almost a year is mostly likely not a tendon injury, and she might get to go back to doggie daycare in the near future!

Vet thinks the limp and foot injuries (swelling/hard bumps) are probably pododermatitis from allergies and should clear up with a round of steroids. 🤞

abt the pic, up to down:

1. turtle i assisted surgery. they sawed them off. smells strongly of bone dust.

2. my bunny. my white bunny, not mine but was my subject of study. had pododermatitis. was gruesome. his feet bones exposed already. he didnt last much, about 3 weeks is what i had with him. since i was the one primarily taking care of him, i kinda bonded. but then, opening the fridge, there was his corpse. news are like that in the clinics. and i had not much time to reflect upon it until now. i just felt bummed at the time. shit happens. but i really liked this fella

3. the fridge. corpses are frozen until cremation or necropsies. food and medicine are kept refrigerated.

4. the brain of a dog i had to macerate out of its skull to get a look. was absurdly gruesome, but it was so fun in context. everybody giving their best to dilascerate and inspect the dog. i used an axe to pry the skull. 

5. belly of a guinea pig that died while i was practicing being the anesthesiser. after death, stuff still works on the body for a while. in this case, we could see the intestines peristaltics. but the guy was done for. i keep thinking it was my fault

6. clipping ribs

7. first animal i had to euthanize myself, a dove

8. first tumor i poked. pus leaked out. was an ovary tumor of some dog.

9. i was amazed by the size of this cat’s mesentery.

10. i didnt care much about ticks until my house was infested and i was bitten by several. if there is a being in the world i hate furiously, it is ticks

Summary: Stromboli has mostly displayed attempts to mount female dogs during off leash introductions. He has at times displayed brief interest in play. When offered correction, Stromboli briefly ceases before attempting to mount once more. Stromboli has allowed approach from other male dogs. Slow introductions are recommended to social dogs who are playful and also may be tolerant of the observed behaviors.

How To Pick The Right Veterinarian

Understanding how to select the right veterinarian is crucial for your dog's health and well being. Actually, selecting the most appropriate vet should be one of the top priorities. Here are a couple things to think about when selecting a vet for the pet, or any pet.

Do not catch the yellow pages and search for the nearest veterinarians for your residence. You would not select a family physician like that along with your pet's health should not be treated with any less thought. Request friends and co-workers who have pets that vet they utilize.

Be certain that they're happy with the care the vet supplies their pet. Word of mouth is most likely the best exposure a physician may get. If a person is happy with the way they're treated they will certainly let you know . The reverse is also correct! Bad experiences are constantly something people wish to expose.

If your regional police department includes a K-9 device, then ask which veterinarians they utilize. Police dogs have to be held in prime health. Local kennel clubs may also be a fantastic source of advice.

As soon as you've got a couple recommendations telephone every one of these and ask if you're able to bring your cat or dog to get a"look see". Inform them you are searching for a new vet and also need to see their amenities. When you pay a visit to your vet's office listen to the interaction between the pet and the vet. You won't need a vet your dog appears leary of. Should they don't appear to mesh when what's fine it will certainly lead to additional stress to your pet through a health crisis.

While in the workplace ask questions. You'll want to ask about the various services available. Can they have their own laboratory for analyzing and xrays? Should they need to send laboratory work and xrays outside for analysis which could cause unnecessary delays. Ask about costs. Can they have a payment plan for crisis and costly surgeries?

How many vets are on duty? Can it be a 1 vet office or are there any other vets that talk about the workplace? How about emergency services and hours? The same as individuals, many pet mishaps occur out of regular 8:00 to 5:00 company hours. Be certain that the vet you select has emergency hour agreements.

When you're familiar with the vet's responses, and if your pet appears to enjoy her or him, you've found the correct vet! Hopefully, the only contact you may have is for regular visits. However, as soon as an emergency occurs it will be reassuring to learn your pet will probably be in great hands.

Canine Demodicosis (Demodectic mange) - Cause: overabundance of Demodex canis mites - Mites inhabit hair follicles and sebaceous glands - Pathogenesis is complex and not well understood - Hereditary predisposition for generalized disease - Immunosuppression (natural or iatrogenic) - Secondary bacterial and fungal infections can be deep and severe, leading to guarded prognosis - While Demodectic mange is not pruritic in itself, the secondary infections can cause pruritus, which may be severe - 3 forms: Localized demodectic mange, juvenile-onset generalized demodecosis, adult-onset generalized demodicosis

1. Localized demodectic mange - usually in dogs less than 1 year old - some cases resolve spontaneously, while others progress to more severe generalized form - Signs: 1-5 well-demarcated small areas of alopecia, erythema, and scaling. Lesions usually around the lips, eyes, and forelimbs, but can be anywhere on the body. Pruritus is absent or mild.

2. Juvenile-onset generalized demodicosis - Result of inherited immunological defect - severe disease of young dogs - Signs: Generalized lesions (erythema, papules, alopecia, oily seborrhea, edema, hyperpigmentation, crusts) aggravated by secondary bacterial and fungal infections and pododermatitis. May have systemic signs as well  (generalized lymphadenopathy, lethargy, fever) when deep pyoderma, furunculosis, or cellulitis is present

3. Adult-onset generalized demodicosis - Similar clinically to juvenile-onset generalized demodicosis except for age of onset - Usually associated with or triggered by debilitating disease that causes immunosuppression (ex. malignant lymphosarcoma, malignant melanoma, hyperadrenocorticism, hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc) but in many cases the underlying condition is never found

- Diagnosis: deep skin scrape typically reveals large numbers of mites and eggs - Treatment may not be required in localized demodectic mange as spontaneous recovery can occur, and prognosis is good - Treatment is always required in generalized demodicosis,  and prognosis is guarded - Treatment options (most off-label usage) : clip hair, bathe with benzoyl peroxide shampoo, then dip with Amitraz dips once weekly; milbemycin oxime, moxidectin, ivermectin, fluralaner, afoxolaner - Continue treatments until there are 2 consecutive negative skin scrapes a month apart - Treat secondary infections aggressively with antibiotics and antifungals - Local and systemic corticosteroids are contraindicated in all Demodex cases - Treatment may take several months and recurrence is not uncommon - Do NOT breed dogs with juvenile-onset demodicosis!

Lumps and bumps come in all shapes, sizes, and locations. What if a bump pops up between your dog’s toes? A good rule of thumb is never to assume what a bump is just by looking at it. In general, lumps can be masses—cancerous or benign—or caused by an infection. Fortunately, there is a good chance that a bump between your dog’s toes is an interdigital cyst.

She showed little to no interest in the Ridgeback where he wanted very much to play with her. ml http://petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=MRVL.A504888 Moreno Valley Animal Shelter 14041 Elsworth Street, Moreno Valley, CA 92553 951-413-3790 PUBLIC EMAIL/GENERAL INFO: animalshelter@moval.org RESCUE EMAIL: rescue@moval.org Open Tuesday - Saturday #adoptadog #adoptme #morenovalley (at Friends of Moreno Valley Shelter Animals) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_V_VbTplbE/?igshid=e60aojpcduyb
