Your premium is calculated using a few details such as the breed and age of your pet, and the type of cover you have chosen.
For example, a nine-year-old Great Dane and a one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier have very different vet expenses, so you would expect to pay a different premium for these two pets.
You should also be aware that your premium will be recalculated when your policy renews. See “Will my premium increase every year?” for more information.

Concerns About Commercial Pet FoodWhat are you really feeding your pet? by William Pollak, DVM What we would like to speak on is the importance of freshness, wholesomeness and the appropriateness of what is consumed. The information we provide is for those people seeking powerful yet simple suggestions for enhancing Wellness in their companion animals, as well as their own lives. Not all seekers are looking for this enhanced Wellness. Most people in fact are satisfied with their dog or cat "looking" normal on the current commercial food; they assume the animal is just fine. It is not our wish to tell them otherwise. A developing sense of and desire for greater Wellness is growing in the world and is giving rise to this information. It is our hope that this small change, switching your pet to a natural raw meat diet, will enhance the quality of life of not just your pet but your entire household. We have seen this time and time again.
Some concerns about Commercial Pet Food:• Pet labels mislead and distort nutritional facts. • Some animal byproducts make regularly consumed pet food poisonous and toxic. • Food additives, like coloring, are for the human purchaser, not the animal consumer. • Product deficiencies lead to overeating, the buying of more products and the creation of greater malnutrition. • Our companion animal?s life expectancies are growing shorter every generation. • Chronic allergic reactions are primarily food based; cause suffering; and require additional treatments that often exacerbate underlying disease. • Nutritional issues receive little publicity because the subject matter is technical and usually leads to the "naming of names". Pet food advertising revenue is huge and consequently, the advertisers are very powerful. Common editorial policy must balance "news-worthiness" with business; this usually results in avoiding negative references to advertisers? products. This situation is neither political nor, by contemporary standards, even sensational. It is however, something we deal with everyday. It is lack of information. Food manufacturers are silent; they sell pet food in a highly competitive market at prices that haven?t changed in many years. Have you ever asked yourself, why not? The raw materials these food manufacturers mix together to produce typical pet foods you find along the supermarket aisles come from highly questionable, and in some cases, unbelievable sources unfit for either person or beast. Compounding this situation is the fact that pet food labels give only vague ideas of a pet food?s content. The listed items are essentially "catch-all terms" for more specific, and often less desirable, substances. Protein, fat, carbohydrate and crude fiber are general food categories; they have no functional meaning in terms of nutritional source, quality or digestibility. Our biggest concern as consumers of commercially available pet foods is that this food: • Contains ingredients, chemicals, toxins and poisons that should not be consumed. • Lacks ingredients that should be part of our pet?s daily food diet. Package labeling is a necessary obligation the food manufacturers are required to provide by law. These laws however, perpetuate a classification system that has little to do with nutritional value. Manufacturers can and do use obscure and easily misunderstood terms. Why are these labels so obscure? The first and most important question to ask, for a better indication of the nutritional value of food we buy, is what percent of the food is digestible. A substance is a nutrient only when it is digestible, that is, absorbed and assimilated by an animal consuming the food product. Unassimilated food ingredients are at best, non-digestible roughage, and, at worst, deadly toxins or poisons. Nowhere on the pet food label does it state how much of the food can be digested. It is a fact that animals on "supermarket" or convenience diets are usually chronically malnourished due to excessive use of fillers, stale food, and chemicals coming out of a food can or pouch. This empty nutrition, non-vital state of health is the fertile ground for sub-standard biological activity and receptivity. Pet and baby foods are unlike any other products sold in a supermarket. Both items claim to be a complete, "Whole" nutritional package for the consumer; all other foods in the supermarket are part of an overall, individually tailored diet. Deficiencies in one food product are balanced by another food product if variety and wholesomeness is valued. The possibility of choosing what one wants to eat is available to humans. Our pets however, are denied this choice when given only commercial pet food as the sole source of nutrition. A pet owner must be satisfied in the belief the pet food is all the animal really needs to insure minimum nutritional needs. Rarely can one find a pet diet that provides more than minimum daily nutritional requirements; that seeks to provide, in fact, greater Wellness. It would be wise to seek out commercial pet foods that are, at best, acceptable supplements to a more natural, raw meat diet. The average pet owner feels satisfied upon leaving the store with a large bag of pet food purchased at a very affordable price (food at 15 cents a pound). At home, the pet "attacks" the food in its food bowl further confirming its owner?s conviction that a "smart" purchase in both value and quality has been made. The pet loves the food! It eats it immediately with great vigor. This "gusto" though is usually a sign of a pet?s lack of proper nutrition. It is the voracious overeating observed everyday at feeding time that indicates a lack in balanced nutrition along with a hyperactivity usually unnoticed until the animal is put on a more nutritious and wholesome diet. Overeating quickly empties a food bag; non-nutrient fillers and appetite stimulants (addictive agents such as sucrose, corn syrup, salt, and artificial flavoring exacerbate a pet?s already undernourished state When a pet overeats a food of low nutritional value, they must "digest" additional calories, protein, carbohydrates and waste products to derive a minimal benefit from the diet. Already low "vital energy" stores are further depleted. This borderline state of starvation, despite regular feedings, produces a responsive, though non-alert, living, though non-vital, animal. The end result a pet owner or pet professional observes is an overweight, doughy, dull-coated, undernourished pet that is marginally poisoned. This is the main reason life expectancies of our pets are growing shorter every year. Our companion animals just survive on convenience pet foods. From a holistic perspective, mere survival is not enough; organisms need to do more than just survive. By achieving a state of Wellness, a transcendent growth is secured. The most frequently asked question in my practice is: "Which commercial pet food do you recommend?" My standard answer is: "None." I am certain that pet-owners notice changes in their animals after using different batches of the same brand of pet food. Their pets may have diarrhea, increased flatulence, a dull hair coat, intermittent vomiting or prolonged scratching. These are common symptoms associated with commercial pet foods. In 1981, as Martin Zucker and I wrote How to Have a Healthier Dog, we discovered the full extent of negative effects that commercial pet food has on animals. In February 1990, San Francisco Chronicle staff writer John Eckhouse went even further with an expose entitled "How Dogs and Cats Get Recycled into Pet Food."

We usually allow visits from the time when the puppies are 3½-4 weeks
A good start and base for the dog makes everything easier in your future
life together. We believe that you must have a lot of time for the puppy/young
A puppy training course followed by some kind of beginners course led by
a dog training school is a good start for you.
Socialising and training for different environments is also necessary,
especially since the Kooiker is somewhat reserved towards unknown people.
We put demands on you as puppybuyers, in order for you to succeed with
your dog. We are always there
for you if you need support or help throughout the dog's life. It is
also important that we maintain a
good communication when the puppy leaves us and moves to you.

Is Your Pet Queer?
This weekend, my brother (who is straight but metro, and can wear pleated pants with uncommon flourish) announced to me that one of his cats has come out of the closet. My brother sent me the rainbow-infused picture at left (the gay one's perched on the dresser). I was proud of the cat, and would like to think that as its aunt, I played a role in its conversio --er -- realization. My brother and me then brainstormed other ways to identify LGBT pets:
Top Signs that Your Pet Might Be Queer
Special thanks to my hilarious brother for coming up with about half of this list! Do any of you have gay pets? How do you know? Do you feel like your own queerness helped or hindered their realization process?
2/6/2012 04:31:17 am
My partner and I think that our dog and cat are gay (together) ... Our dog prances whenever he is happy and the cat he has a lil more sway in his walk on occasion. When the cat awakens from his daily ritual of napping for 10 hours he DASHES towards the dog and makes sure to rub allllll over him giving him many kisses.... kinda like in the movies the slow mo "OMG IT'S BEEN SOOOOOO LONG I'VE MISSED YOU." The cat will also cuddle and snuggle with our dog and its not just "oh hey, sup" its all HEEEYYYY! then the cat bats on the dog's ear.
2/6/2012 06:14:38 am
My cat was out before I was...(I was still in a heterosexual relationship)...He loved other male cats! And would hiss at female cats...
2/6/2012 06:33:26 am
My cats Linus is so gay! His meows are more "girly" than his sister, Lucy's! He is so affectionate & likes to cuddle more than his sister does! He particularly likes being around my male friends than my female friends. When my cats hear dogs barking or loud noises at night, Lucy (the smaller of the two) instinctively jumps on me to protect me & hiss at the unseen intruder, while Linus would just hide ubder the covers or under the bed! :D
My male cat, Shelby is totally gay. The first clue is well, his name. When I first got him, I was told he was a she, fell in love with the name, aaaand yeah. I figured, well, Shelby can be for both genders! Why not?!
2/6/2012 10:19:48 am
My dog Pete is definitely a butch little girl. She will lift her leg to pee on bushes, she is constantly trying to hump the cat (girl cat). She lives up to her Boy name. Puppita just didn't fit her.
2/7/2012 07:31:23 am
Ya know, I drop in here for a reason. Sometimes it's for the spirited debate, sometimes for comfort, to find like minded people, be compelled to do something, learn new ways to attire myself, and finally, to laugh my ass off!!!!
2/8/2012 08:29:43 am
I'm super glad I found this blog! And on the topic of queer pets, seriously, everybody thinks my (male) dog is a girl. And I don't correct them, but I'll just use 'he' when referring to him rather than 'she' and people get So awkward. It's weird. Also, whenever we meet a female dog, that dog's owner is all like 'oh maybe he wants a girlfriend...ooooo" nobody talks about him wanting boyfriends, but his best dog friend is a boy and they are adorable together. Anyway.
2/12/2012 06:52:31 am
I have totally queer cat, he's super camp and "presents" to his brother regularly as well as any male visitors who come to the house. He spends more time than any other cat I've ever seen on grooming his (long, lush, blonde) coat. Most people thinks its hilarious except for my sister who accuses me of "seeing fucking gays everywhere". Anyway, gay!Leo doesn't seem to care that his auntie is a bit of a homophobe so I don't let it bother me. I feel a bit sorry for my other cat though, the only vaguely straight in a house full of complete queers :)
2/21/2012 08:33:24 pm
I am the proud parent of an openly butch cat. Her name is Bobbie and wehave had her since she was born thirteen years ago. My Dane who Is fixed is most definitely her gay man toy...my animals are gay and i am proud..lol

"I'm so pleased with the experience I had at lakeville animal hospital. I am traveling with my dog from northern Maine to visit family and my dog had been sick for 3 days. She couldn't keep any food or water down. Long story short I called lakeville animal hospital and they were able to squeeze Aspen in later on in the day. Turns out the reason Aspen had been sick was that she had atleast one blockage in her intestines. They immediately sent us to a 24 hour emergency vet in Swansea for a surgery. Aspen is now out of surgery with 2 incisions in her intestines and 1 in her stomach. Being a long way from home with a sick puppy is not fun and is quite stressful. But I'm thankful the crew at lakeville animal hospital was able to see her so soon, take X-rays, give her a diagnosis, and make a recommendation for a 24 hour surgery facility."

Still, a prospective owner should prepare for a bit of a mess with this breed as he is a drooling dog. And because this breed can be wary of strangers by nature, you cannot dismiss the importance of early socialization.
Slow walks are best for this breed as he gets older, as his size can make him prone to joint and muscle issues. Experts also suggest taking precaution with the Neapolitan Mastiff when going up and down stairs and when running him. So an owner should keep an eye on their pup and make sure he is not exerting too much energy during play.
Remember, this is a big breed who needs rest as much as he needs exercise in order to be healthy and happy. As far as games, be careful of wrestling, tug-of-war, and other rough-and-tumble games you may think will be fun to play with your dog. Furthermore, due to his size and breed history, he is susceptible to a number of genetic health concerns a prospective owner should be aware of. The Neapolitan Mastiff may be predisposed to canine hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, demodicosis, cardiomyopathy, and cherry eye. Owners should never leave their dog outside in the heat unattended without fresh water and access to a cool or shaded area.

Due to the health concerns of this breed, you may want to have your Neapolitan Mastiff undergo early health screening. Early health screening your puppy can help you get a better idea as to what possible health issues he may face in the future. Since the Neapolitan Mastiff is such a large dog breed, he will need to eat high-quality dog food geared towards larger dogs.

Okay, so I know this is “Newborn Session” (and I absolutely adore it as such)…but THIS DOG is just so fabulous! I love all of the photos from this shoot, but the ones with the family pooch really steal my heart. I have always had (and will always have) a special place in my heart for fur babies. Dogs were a part of my life long before I ever gave birth to my son and will remain a part of our family forever (or furever…wah wah wah…couldn’t resist). Although there is bound to be a bit of jealousy from a pet upon arrival of the first (and each subsequent) child, the bond that forms between children and their four-legged siblings is absolutely priceless. On the website of Cesar Milan (aka The Dog Whisperer), there is an article titled The Five Stages of Baby-Canine Friendship, written by Juliana Weiss-Roessler. It is definitely worth a read if you need some guidance on acclimating your furry friend to your newborn. Though dogs can be a challenge at times, especially with a new baby, the unconditional love they offer is more than worth it!

Wayne H. Hartley Jr., RVTg
Founder & CEO
Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to explore Happy Hearts and learning what the company is about.
I strive to provide the absolute best care for your pets as if you were caring for them yourself. This section is about well, me, the guy that put it all together.
My name is Wayne Hartley Jr. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. Pet Care has always been a passion of mine. Since I was young I’ve always loved animals — both learning about and taking care of them. I have graduated from THE Fort Valley State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Veterinary Technology. I have worked in various veterinary settings from the largest multi-specialty emergency hospital to general practices, other referral hospitals, and university settings such as the University of Georgia's Veterinary Teaching Hospital. When not working, I have volunteered my time at wildlife conservation centers, adoption agencies, dog daycare, cat sanctuaries, and with the Boys and Girls Club as well as Habitat for Humanity.

Ensuring the Health and Safety of Your Pet: Understanding Pet Critical Care
Our four-legged friends’ health and well-being are always a top priority. However, there may be instances when our pets require immediate medical attention and specialized care in critical situations. During such scenarios, it is essential for pet owners to be aware of the existence of emergency veterinary care in order to provide their pets with the highest likelihood of recovery.
Emergency vet services can be a lifeline for pets facing life-threatening conditions or accidents. These specialized establishments are well-equipped to handle urgent cases, offering prompt medical intervention and critical care to stabilize and safeguard the lives of our treasured companions.
Recognizing the distinction between emergency veterinary care and regular veterinary care is vital as the former plays a pivotal role in addressing emergencies necessitating immediate attention. Routine veterinary care primarily concentrates on preventive measures and the overall well-being of pets, whereas emergency vet services specialize in critical situations where time is of utmost importance. These situations encompass severe injuries, trauma, poisoning, acute illnesses, or any life-threatening condition necessitating immediate medical attention.
When emergencies arise, pet owners should be prepared and well-informed about the appropriate actions to take and the nearest emergency vet facility in their locality. The accessibility of such information can have a significant impact on the outcome and the probability of survival for our beloved pets. It is advisable to have the contact details of the nearest emergency vet clinic saved in your phone or written down in a visible place in your home.
During a pet emergency, staying composed and taking swift action is vital to achieve the best possible outcome. Immediately get in touch with the emergency vet clinic and provide them with comprehensive details about your pet’s condition. They will advise you on the necessary actions to take before transporting your pet for treatment.
While traveling to the emergency vet clinic, prioritize your pet’s safety and minimize any additional distress. Safely confine your pet in a carrier or use proper restraints to prevent further injury or escape. If possible, have someone accompany you to the clinic to provide support and assistance during this stressful time.
Upon arrival at the emergency vet clinic, the veterinary team will promptly assess your pet’s condition and initiate the necessary treatments. They will work diligently to stabilize your pet, provide pain relief, and address any immediate concerns to ensure your pet’s well-being. Depending on the severity of the condition, your pet may need to be hospitalized for further monitoring and intensive care.
During the hospitalization period, the veterinary team will provide round-the-clock care and monitor your pet’s progress closely. They will administer medications, conduct necessary procedures, and adapt the treatment plan as required to secure the best possible outcome. You will be regularly updated on your pet’s condition and progress, and the veterinary team will provide guidance on the next course of action and any supplementary care needed.
It is important to note that emergency veterinary care can be costly due to the specialized equipment, expertise, and round-the-clock care provided. Consider investigating pet insurance options or establishing an emergency fund specifically for your pet’s medical requirements. Having financial preparations in place can alleviate some of the burden and guarantee that you can afford the required care for your pet during emergencies.


After the sudden death of our cat Weston, James and I are totally schooled in the importance of pet insurance. Had we not let our busy work schedules get in the way of getting pet insurance right away, we would not be able to prevent the death of our kitty WEston but would nto have been out $3,000 as a result of his emergency care. We would also be spared those horrible moments where you are deciding between love and money.
Information is not exactly easy to come by, but I was able to find one website that I am excited about:
This site has a lot of good content, and with a quick redesign, can really be even better than they are now.
I wonder if there is such a site for human health insurance?

Don was one of five little puppies. With his brothers and sisters he cuddled up close to Mrs. Gurr, the mother dog, to keep warm, for it was rather cool for little dogs, even though there was plenty of straw in the kennel, or house, where they lived. Don shivered and trembled, but when his mother put her soft, warm paw over him and the other little dogs, Don felt better. (Excerpt from Chapter 1)

Imagine you need to go out of town for an emergency, or a work trip. At the last minute, you find out the person that normally cares for your pets gets sick and can’t watch them for you. What are you going to do? You can’t just leave them home alone!! In comes Reneé Harvey and Pet Lovers of Arlington to save the day! Based in Arlington, Texas, Reneé serves the greater Arlington, Dallas and Fort Worth areas, giving folks a place to board their pets. Other services Reneé offers include pet sitting, pet support, and help with getting pets to the vet.
Reneé works with her mother and daughter, so it’s truly a family business. I asked Reneé why she went into this business. She answered with this simple reply, “We had a wedding in our back yard, so we had to board our dogs. When we went to pick them up, my Mom’s dog couldn’t even walk. Turns out they were kept in hard bottom crates all weekend”. She decided right then and there that would be the last time they would be boarded somewhere like that. She did some research before she had a need to board again and found a business that was WONDERFUL with them. This is the model she based Pet Lovers of Arlington after in 2014. She treats each animal she boards like a member of her family.
There are a few safety measures Reneé asks that pet parents adhere to before bringing their fur babies in for boarding or pet sitting. All animals must be up to date on their shots and flea protection. Dogs should be able to walk on a leash in a manner that no one gets injured. Reneé requests a meet and greet before taking on any new client, to make sure everyone can get along just fine.
I wanted to get to know a bit more about Reneé as a person, not just as a business owner. I asked her a few questions about her. The first was about her family. She is married with grown children and grandchildren. She has lived in Arlington for the past 13 years, but was raised in Fort Worth. I asked her what she liked best about the Arlington area. She said, “There is so much to do here, you will never get bored!” She is a fan of the Texas Rangers. In her spare time she likes to read, talk about the bible, and go bike riding.
I asked Reneé about the most memorable client she’s ever had. After she replied that “they all are”, she told me of a couple that really stick out in her memory. “We had a dog that we kept at least 150 times. She’d be back every couple of weeks. We loved having her with us.” and this one “There was a long time client whose dog was at the end of life. The client just couldn’t bear to go alone to the vet that day. So I went with them, to help them get through what they had to do to help their best friend go.”
If you have a need for boarding or pet sitting, or just need a helpful hand getting to a vet with your pet, give Reneé at Pet Lovers of Arlington a call or drop an email today. This is the place where “We treat your dog like our own”. You can see that in the compassion Reneé shows by helping folks. From welcoming the same dog in 150 times, to helping an owner say goodbye to a beloved baby. Reach out today!! email@example.com (817) 774-5524

As a furry pup lover, there’s no way you can measure the amount of fulfillment and satisfaction you get from your cuddly companion.

The Chewy Dog Shop has all the dog supplies your pup needs. You’ll find quality dog supplies including the best dog food, dog toys, dog vitamins and dog supplements from trusted brands.

Chewy’s dog supplies help you care for your pet with pet products to meet her every need because your pup’s needs will change as she ages from playful pup to sleepy senior.
Each time you give your dog a bath, give his collar a scrub. Soak the collar in a bowl of hot water and dog shampoo, use an old toothbrush or other soft-bristled brush to clean out the nooks where dirt collects, and then hang the collar to dry. Leashes and harnesses may be cleaned in the same way, as needed. A leather collar requires gentler care—rather than soaking the collar, use a toothbrush soaked in a cleaning solution and gently brush away grime. Rinse, towel off, and hang the leather collar until it is completely dry.

This little kitten is SO sweet and I wish she were mine (sometimes). We became friends one night when she tried to sneak into our front door while we were moving in. I could tell she was really hungry so I gave her some milk. Since then, she has LOVED me and always comes around begging for treats. Of course I give in. She's so pretty and so sweet...who wouldn't?
then I decided to go on a photo-location hunt near my house. I like the places I "found" (although I know other photographers have discovered them before).

Lar»All releases»life and death»Is my dog at risk of pyometra?
Joe Dunne BVMedSci (hons), BVM BVS (hons), MRCVS
6. October 2020 •286 shares•19 comments
You may have heard of pyometra before; Although common, it is one of the deadliest diseases we vets encounter.
What is pyometra?
Pyometra literally means "pus in the uterus". It occurs in about 25% of bitches who have not been spayed before the age of 10. Pyometra is essentially a uterine infection. It occurs because the repeated cycles of estrogen and progesterone that bitches experience in normal cycles increase the thickening of the uterine wall. And unlike humans, dogs don't shed their womb lining late in the season unless they're pregnant. Instead, the lining thickens over time, trapping fluid and mucus — sometimes called mucometra. A mucometer is not dangerous, but when bacteria get into the uterus, they find the perfect environment to multiply. Massive infection follows.
What are the signs of pyometra?
Pyometra almost always occurs relatively towards the end of the last season - usually 4 to 6 weeks after the bleeding has stopped. Dogs are typically three years or older, although pyometra has occasionally been diagnosed in some dogs after just one season. Affected dogs gradually become sicker: they may stop eating, become lethargic, or vomit. They usually have increased thirst and also urinate more frequently. Owners may notice that they lick their backs more than usual.
Cloudy discharge from the vulva is sometimes evident, but its absence doesn't mean pyometra isn't possible—in fact, the most severe forms of pyometra occur when the cervix is closed and pus can't escape. The discharge can also be intermittent, or dogs may stop having a discharge when the cervix closes - this is usually seen as an improvement by many owners but is almost always followed by a worsening of their condition.
How is pyometra diagnosed?
Whole bitches showing symptoms at the correct stage of the cycle should always have an ultrasound done. Ultrasound is easy to perform and usually provides a diagnosis without anesthesia or sedation in well-behaved dogs. Vets will also need to examine the dog as a whole, take your dog's temperature and may recommend blood tests to check kidney and liver function.
How can pyometra be treated?
There are two ways to treat pyometra. Surgery is usually recommended as it is a permanent solution. The operation is like sterilization – the ovaries and uterus are removed through an abdominal incision. However, unlike a regular neuter, the uterus is heavier and filled with pus, which could certainly kill the dog if any leaks out. This makes it a much riskier operation than regular sterilization.
Drug treatment is also possible. Dogs are given injections of an abortifacient and antibiotics. This causes the body to stop the cycle and the infection begins to improve. Medical treatment is not always successful and there is a high possibility that pyometra will recur in the next cycle. However, it sometimes avoids risky surgeries and allows the uterus to heal, allowing sterilization to be scheduled for the usual window between seasons.
Can pyometra be prevented?
Preventing pyometra is as easy as neutering non-breeding dogs. Without the ovaries constantly switching from estrogen to progesterone, the mucosa does not build up and pyometra is not possible. In young bitches, the ovaries themselves can be removed. The hormones didn't have time to damage the uterine lining. However, as the dog gets older, a complete ovariohysterectomy (removal of the ovaries and uterus) is usually more sensible, since this does not pose a risk of posterior pyometra.
My dog has been neutered, can she still have pyometra?
It is technically possible for a bitch, in very rare cases, to develop pyometra after spaying. Affected dogs often suffer from ovarian remnant syndrome. You left a small piece of the ovary behind after castration. The cycle of this remnant may be sufficient to cause any remaining uterus to undergo the changes that result in pyometra. This can lead to what is known as “stump pyometra”. When the small piece of uterus that is left behind because it is attached to the cervix gets pyometra.
Is pyometra a life or death situation?
Yes. Many cases of pyometra are so severe that prompt treatment is the only thing that can save them. If you suspect your dog has pyometra, you should take him to a veterinarian for evaluation immediately.

Beverly Smith 4. August 2022
Female Irish Wolfhound, 8 years old in October. Recovered since May 2021 with a diagnosis of autoimmune idiopathic anemia and continued on cyclosporine 50mg Mondays and Fridays. Now diagnosed UTI and bladder stones. Not neutered; no heat cycles for over a year. Small lump on a teat for a year without growth. Stone removal advice and veterinarian suggesting lump removal and sterilization at the same time. Sounds like a big concern about the anesthesia. She was not tested for liver shunt as a puppy. Any suitable advice. Surgery planned for next Thursday.
David Harris 9. August 2022
I would definitely recommend pre-surgery blood, but I think the surgery recommended by your vets seems appropriate. If she has reached 8 with no signs, it is very unlikely that she has a clinically relevant shunt! Stones in your bladder, if they don't dissolve or pass, need to come out; In order to get into the bladder, the abdomen must be opened, simultaneous castration makes sense. At her age the risk of pyometra increases dramatically and since she is on immunosuppressants I think sterilization makes sense at this point as the surgeons will be "in" anyway. And 50% of mammary tumors in female dogs are malignant tumors, so removing those is a good idea too! The greatest risk of anesthesia is in the induction and recovery phases; Although prolonged anesthesia increases the risk, it's not as severe as we used to think.
I think so, but of course I've only seen the synopsis of her story: if you are concerned I would definitely ask to speak to the vet about it and make sure they are sure this is what is best for her .
Yvonne Mckibbin 23. June 2022
My little frenchie had surgery for pyometra a little over two weeks ago, now she has the same color of discharge and is acting almost like she did before the surgery. Lethargic and depressed this is a sign that it has returned and the possibilities and chances are that it will be fine again
David Harris 24. June 2022
Once the uterus is removed, the pyometra itself cannot come back; However, cervical infections can persist after surgery and require aggressive treatment. Definitely get her to the vet as soon as possible! Fortunately, most of these secondary infections are relatively easy to treat medically, although additional surgery is sometimes required. Unfortunately, when there is so much pus in the uterus (like a beeping sound), it's easy to get infections elsewhere. Good luck with her!
Tanja March 8, 2022
I have a golden retriever, we wait the 18 months before neutering to ensure their growth. Apart from that she will have had 2 heats by heat 3, we plan to breed her to only have 1 litter to help her shed the womb lining. Also, we want to keep 1 puppy and her breeder wants one. Will this reduce your chances of getting pyometra after birth and spaying? Or will we still have problems?
David Harris 12. April 2022
Once neutered, she may not develop pyometra at any age, so that's not a problem!
The biggest problem is breast cancer (very common in bitches, about 50% of which are malignant). From 3 seasons onwards, castration no longer offers any significant protection against breast cancer, which is why we generally recommend early castration if no breeding is planned.
Of course this is not an option as you are, but it will be important to have her breast tissue checked regularly for lumps and bumps as she ages to catch them early while they are treatable if/when they do occur .
Good luck with her and the puppies!
Anshu 3. November 2021
I have a 9 year old German Shepherd Dog. Never been pregnant. 6 months ago I saw white discharge after heat cycles. The doctor treated her with antibiotics and injections. No download after this. Then 6 months later - same thing and same procedure and same result. No discharge after treatment. The dog showed no behavioral changes. Should I be concerned?
David Harris 15. November 2021
This is consistent with recurrent open pyometra. The problem with medical treatment of pyometra (injections and antibiotics) is that research shows that 80% of the time it comes back after the next season. Open pyometra can be treated, but sooner or later there is a real risk that she will develop closed pyometra, which is usually fatal without emergency surgery. Personally, I would seriously consider having her spayed as soon as possible to prevent this from happening.
Nisha 6. September 2021
Hello doctor! My dog is 11 years old and has had white discharge from her genitals for the past 3 weeks. The discharge is small, odorless and translucent. The vet doubted it was pyometra, but her condition did not worsen. He gave her antibiotics but the discharge still wouldn't stop. My bitch shows no other signs of illness, she is active, has a good appetite and defecates and urinates properly. What do you think it could be?
David Harris 10. September 2021
It can still be an "open pyometra," where the pus drains before it accumulates—sometimes they can rumble for weeks before clearing up, or, perhaps more commonly, worsen dramatically and quickly become life-threatening. Another option could be severe vaginitis but in a whole dog this age I would be VERY concerned about growling pyometra. I would strongly advise going back and talking to the vet again.
Ava 2. August 2021
My dog has white discharge from her vagina but I don't think it's a bad smell. She licks this area more and is very calm and does not eat. I haven't noticed any signs of vomiting or urinating more than usual. She didn't have a litter, but will soon be 4 years old. She is a Great Dane and could this affect her more than a smaller breed of dog?
David Harris 3. August 2021
It could be an early cry or vaginitis - either way, veterinary care is a good idea, especially at her age and breed.
mine July 21, 2021
My bitch was bred twice and we plan not to conceive her again, can she still have pyometra?
David Harris July 23, 2021
Yes, she definitely can. A small amount doesn't seem to have a dramatic protective effect against developing pyometra, and some people argue that it increases the chances.
Unless you plan on breeding them again I would advise you to consider sterilization.
Tamera Norton 1. June 2021
My puppy is 10 weeks old and was sprayed... I noticed she had green discharge from her privates... what could it be???
David Harris 14. June 2021
This indicates vaginitis, an infection of the vagina. If she was recently spayed, it could be a 'stump infection'. In any case, I would strongly advise taking her to the vet sooner rather than later.
Sofia 16. April 2021
I'm not even sure I'll get an answer, but my dog almost died of pyometra two weeks ago. She was only 1.5 years old. She was in heat 3 times last year. Because of this and because of Covid, she has been delayed several times to be neutered. However, I'm afraid I'm losing faith in their vets and losing my mind. She has always struggled with food allergies/skin allergies and even had a bald/red/bloody paw from biting and scratching. I noticed there is a black mole-like growth in the paw, what must be itchy? Ever since she was a puppy she was vomiting bile in the middle of the night so I started feeding her more throughout the day but after that pyometra incident...I'm starting to worry that something more serious is coming up goes. That is normal? Sounds like something specific? Your vet never gave you antibiotics to take home after surgery... what should I do?
David Harris 19. April 2021
allergic skin diseaseit's very common and could very well be what's going on there. I think the pyometra is probably coincidental - the two conditions aren't really connected - but without further testing it's impossible to say. If relationships with your vets are strained, it may be worth getting a second opinion on their skin condition - this is very uncomfortable and needs to be addressed. A probable cause is atopic dermatitis, which, however, can usually be controlled today with modern drugs and drug combinations. Much luck!

A new survey of pet owners which has been published in Vet Record finds that the majority of dog and cat owners are not aware of several blood donation schemes and blood banks for pets.
A large number of pet owners in this survey said that they were ready to allow their pets for donating blood. Researchers say that this suggests an increase in awareness can help in an increase of donors similar to human blood donation.
The need for animal blood has been increasing in veterinary practice. The percentage of pets donating blood is not clearly known but is supposed to be quite small. However, the demand for blood is more than the supply which is available.
Researchers from the Royal Veterinary College investigated awareness of pet owners for small animal blood donation. They also surveyed about their attitude and motivation of their pet being a blood donor. 158 dog and cat owners, over the age of 18 were surveyed for a period of 10 days. They were asked to fill an anonymous questionnaire regarding awareness of pet blood donation, motivations and concerns about their pet being a blood donor and whether they would be happy if their pet was fit to donate blood.
110 out of 158 were not aware that pets could donate blood, 118 were not aware that pet blood banks were there. 140 owners stated that they would allow their pets to donate blood if found suitable, 18 stated they would not. There was no major difference between the percentage of male and female owners who were willing that their pets donated blood. However, owners aged 71 or more and those who worked full time were less likely for letting their pets donate blood.
The most common motivation for pet blood donation was beneficence, the desire to help others. The next was the necessity of service, which refers to a recognition that blood products are needed and reciprocity, hoping helping others would make blood products available for their own pets.
Researchers have pointed out that this is a survey involving a very small sample size, only one clinic. As a result of this, the numbers may not match for a larger population. Although this is a good starting point in understanding the awareness of the general people about pet blood donation. Researchers conclude that recruitment of donors can be increased by increasing awareness among the pet owners. However, using animals for blood donation involves greater complexity and not all pets are suitable to participate in the process. Potential donors should be checked thoroughly by a vet before donating blood.
