by iris656 on 01-30-2012

Re: torn acl

The knee joint is held together by a number of ligaments, one being the acl. A torn acl will not repair itself. Your dog may limp some days and not others, because on some days the joint is more stable than others. On other days he is experiencing bone against bone, and most likely - pain. A friend had...

Re: Stage 2 Luxating Patellas in both back legs

by Beth_Taylor on 09-23-2010

And in addition to that great advice, I'm not Dr, Becker but I have some experience with this - you can ask your holistic vet to refer you to a really, really good veterinary chiropractor.

Anesthesia concerns for my 5lb dog?

by Fireman85p on 10-06-2009

I have a 2 year old 5 pound yorkie where the vet is recommending that he get neutered and pull some baby teeth that are still there. I'm nervous because he is so small and anesthesia. Any recommendations?
Spaying

I have a 6 month old Golden and am trying to weigh my options for spaying. We waited one year to get our male neutered because we wanted him to develop properly. With the females of course there are other issues to consider. I have never gone through a heat with a female dog and I will need to kennel...

Anal Gland Problems

My dog has an anal gland that doesn't express by itself. We were told that she should have surgery to remove the gland.
