A New Trick

Posted: 11 Nov 2009 07:06 AM PST

Hey guys!
So, we have been spending a lot of time lately polishing up our new trick. It's a really good one. We think most of you pups out there will want to learn it. This is how it goes... first, when it's bed time, go to sleep, but don't stay asleep for the whole night. Mom & dad like you to snuggle with them, but once they're asleep, they have no idea what you're doing as long as you're quiet. Then, when you hear mom or dad's alarm go off, run back into the bed and go back to sleep and snuggle a bunch. This way, mom & dad won't want to get out of bed and you get to sleep longer. Isn't that great!? Not only do you get to play all night without any parents bothering you, you also get to hang out with them longer in the morning! We know, we're geniuses.

Give it a try soon. We're telling you, it's worth it.

Avoid Spreading Ringworm
Have Your Dog Checked


Dear Dr. Jacki:


I just discovered ringworm on me. Could I have gotten this from my dog? She is a Chow Chow and has very thick fur, but none is falling out. Wouldn't it be coming out in spots? Other than going to the doctor for myself, should I shave her to check her skin? Winter is coming and I worry she will be cold. I'm not sure what to do. Is there any other way to figure out if she has a ringworm? Thank you for your help.


Sincerely,


Linda C.


*************************************************************


Dear Linda:


Yes, you can get ringworm from your dog.  Some dogs/cats are silent carriers meaning they don't show any clinical signs but they have the fungus. It is best to take her to a regular veterinarian where they can perform a test (or tests) to determine if ringworm is present. 


Treatment for animals consists of baths and/or oral medications. Some animals need to be shaved in order for the treatment baths or dips to come in contact with the skin. I would leave the decision to shave up to the veterinarian. Because ringworm is zoonotic, this pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible.


A sweater or shirt may be necessary, but it depends. If the sweater rubs on the ringworm lesion, it may spread the ringworm. This decision, too, should be made by your veterinarian.

Best wishes,



Dr. Jacki

Fake Service Dogs - Unethical or Responsible Pet Care? - TheBark - 2009-11-03 14:10:27-05
The legitimacy and training of service dogs has come up a lot recently, and many of the cases do not have clear solutions. But what about when someone is consciously taking advantage of the privileges granted to service dogs?

What is school?

Posted: 06 Nov 2009 08:24 AM PST

Hello friends,

We have received many emails and questions as to where we have been lately. Well, we haven't been here. That's for sure! We have been helping mom do all of her things lately. She has a lot of things to do and she needed our help. She also hogged the computer for "school". We aren't sure about this school stuff. It seems a little fishy to us. What exactly is "school"?

Anyway, mom has some pictures of all the fun we have been having in our new house. They are from her phone, since she keeps forgetting to charge the camera, but we still look fabulous.






Isn't our new bed wonderful??
