Our late dog was neglected at an irresponsible pet clinic,as a result,it passed away during wee hours and no staffs were around to monitor her condition.While the signboard outside wrote 24 HRS in huge lettering.We were informed only in the morning at about 9am when they opened their shop and found our dog to be dead.We wrote to AVA twice to investigate our case,but the result was disappointing and their investigation results were biased and claimed to be untrue,leading us to be disappointed in seeking their help anymore.Whats even better was that the clinic later took down the old signboard and change them to a small lettering of 24HR.We have not gotten over the grieve of our late dog and what we really wanted was only just a proper apology.After this incident,it made us realised that such people existed,they couldn't care much for the welfare of dog.Remember,be it canine or human,a life is a life.

hi. my dog is a german shepherd about 2 years old. about 2 months ago he started getting very thin. took him to the best vet in town. he did a test and figured out that he has hepatitis - his liver isnt working and therefore his food isnt digesting properly. ive been going to the vet for 2 months and he hasnt been able to fix him. he keeps getting thinner. he specifically isnt able to digest fats (something about his body not producing lypase enzyme)

what can i feed him and what steps can i take to get him better since obviously my vet is totally lost on what to do

Another attack on a member of the public by a Rotweiller recently. There have been a few attacks by Rotweillers over the past few months, and in quick sucession. I know that all dogs are capible of attacking, but some dogs are more dangerous than others. That's why the Government passed the Dangerous Dogs Act; to control the more dangerous breeds.

Thsi increase in attacks suggests to me that Rotweillers are dangerous breeds. I think they should be on the Dangerous Dogs act, but what do you think?

On Christmas day I went over to check on a mentally retarded gentleman, I do everyday. As I was leaving I was approached by a pure bred Weimaraner. He is about six months old and very close to a major Highway, I stopped and he jumped right in my truck. I drove around asking everyone if they knew whos dog it was. I had plans with my family so I took the dog home. After my company left, I got back in my truck and again looked for the owners. These people live about 7 miles from me. Finally I located a person who said where they thought the dog lived. When my daughter knocked on the door a man with a phone to his ear answered saying he was calling (not out looking) everyone to find the dog. He claimed his grandchild had let it out by mistake. I returned the dog without so much as a thank you. In all of my years I never felt bad about returning a dog but, this made me feel wary. Well, today as in two prior days the same dog was running around lose. Should I keep him and find a better home?

Hi-there! I have a dwarf hamster, Mace, I've had him since July-ish. He lives in his own cage, by himself, well around, October or November we noticed that his eye was starting to bug out and looked even redder than normal, he is supposed to have big bright red eyes. We didn't think much of it, then a few days after that there was a huge puss pocket or something on the eye. Didn't know what to do for him, we called the vet, but figured it wasn't worth taking him. I love animals and hate to see them suffer, but couldn't justify taking a $5 dollar hamster to the vet with a minimum bill of $45. Well a few days after the pocket appeared, it disappeared and his eye sucked into his head, needless to say, he went blind. But he was fine, never seemed to bother him. He ate, drank and climbed his cage like normal. Well his cage got cleaned out 4 days ago and he seemed fine, when I went to check on him yesterday, it looked like his other eye was closed. Got to looking closer and its hardly open, not sure if he can see out of it. But he hasn’t been hiding/sleeping in his little house lately; he has been out and about, just sort of setting there or sleeping out in the open, even during the day. And I noticed that he appears to have lost a lot of weight, he is really thin. I think he might possibly be blind in the other eye now too. But I don’t know why? Anyone have any ideas on why he went blind? Why he is so thin? Is he dieing? My husband suggested just killing him, painlessly. So he wont have to suffer, but I just can’t do that, but I still can’t justify taking him to the vet. What should I do any suggestions?

I have been looking at various toy breeds for quite some time, when I came across a Japanese Chin. I hear they are quiet, indoor dogs, that love to please their owners. I was wondering if anyone who has owned one (or been around one) how they are as pets and if they would make a good inside dog. I have no other pets.

My male cat gives my female cat a bath. He licks her all the time. It's so weird to watch him doing it. He will lick her non-stop until she gets tired of it and runs off. Is this normal? What does it mean?

I have two kitties. One is a male and the other one is a female. The male is 8 months already fixed and declawed, and the baby kitty is about 3 months and needs to get fixed and declawed. After getting the male kitty fixed and declawed his personality didn't change, actually he is more loveable then before. But I am worried about my female cat. Her personality is far different than the male cat. She is more hyper and loves to play. Can these procedures change her personality??

I am getting kind of tired reading about "all those poor dogs, and it is the owners fault" and how "anyone who trains a dog in protection is a scumbag" just trying to show off their lack of self-esteem. Has anyone here EVER had a dog that was PROPERLY trained in protection work? If so, what kind of experience did they have with it?

The steps on my back porch are all icey and my dogs arent able to get down them or up them. I've been letting them out down stairs for the time being, but is it okay to put ice on the steps to melt the ice, or will that be unhealthy for my dogs? Thanks!
