My old dog, 14, is nearing the end of his life. Less than a week ago, I sensed something was wrong and took him to a veterinary hospital where blood tests showed that his kidney values were getting very bad.
Despite feeling helpless in all of this, can you direct me as to how I may send some money to help the animals that have been caught up in the conflict?
She is pushing 15 and she cannot jump up on the kitchen counter or other places like she used to. She is a bit overweight, and I suspect that she may have some arthritis.
My dog is kenneled regularly at a local facility. I learned that another regular day boarder was diagnosed with scabies.
The weird thing is she is scheduled to have it removed next week and the overall size of the swelling in the area is much smaller. Should I still proceed with the scheduled surgery? Why would a cancerous growth suddenly shrink?
