Help,

I was taking Lexi our 2 1/2 year old Goldendoodle, for a walk tonight and noticed that for the third time in six months she had a clear vaginal discharge which I assume is another UTI. Every time we take her to the vet he gives her Clomax for one or two weeks. I am thinking she will develop a resistence to this medication and trying to research why she might have this re-occurring problem.

SHE IS SUCH A BLESSING.....

We are planning on renting a cabin in the Smokey Mountains and a friend advised that we need to be concerned about Ticks over the summer months. Any suggestions on how to avoid a tick infestation on our Doodle babyl?

I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted,



without taking into consideration how much space

Definite NO on rawhide...........My Doodle Lexi will tear them to little pieces. I give her CET Chews. http://www.virbacvet.com/cet/ I get them on line or my vet also sells them. They are natural, can be digested and my Vet swears by them. Much better then rawhide.



As far as Nyla bones , there have been numerous lawsuits against them because dogs are breaking their teeth on them and pieces breaking off have resulted in dogs choking and developing intestinal blockages. My daughter has… Continue
