I'm finally taking the Larga Aniaml course and I'm loving it, but I want to
know more. Our textbook is Large Animal Clinical Procedures for Veterinary
Technicians by Elizabeth Hanie and it's good, but there's not much by way of
small ruminants. Can anyone recommend some good ...

Big Guy doesn't have FeLV, FIV or parasites. In fact he gained 1 ounce
and got home and was hungry! The vet gave him a shot of centrine to help
with the diarrhea, 4 cans of AD and Feline gastroenteric food and
suggested giving him Nutri-Cal.

I am hoping someone can give some advice on what to do about an unwell
cat, if anything.  This cat is my elderly mother's friend and
companion! At nearly 15, he is no chicken himself.

I can't find the original post, but a friend has a cat that gets a tuna
flavored compound made up of methimazole, which her cat eats like a
treat. Perhaps this would work for your mother. It's made up at

My 18 year old cat, Big Guy, has started showing signs of his age

and he wasn't eating as eagerly as usual. After 10 days on Antirobe for
gum infection, I took him back for bloodwork. Everything looks really

Does anyone have advice on how to give a pot bellied pig shots?  We
live to far in the country to have a vet come out every day to give my
pot bellied pig two penicillin shots a day.  He has a respiratory
problem and I've obtained penicillin.  The problem is, we have a very

I wonder if you have advice for me. My dog has broken out in what my
vet calls hot spots. They gave me some shampoo to use but it doesn't
seem to be working. I bath him every other day and the spots just seem
to be getting worse. Scaly, cracking and some bleeding. Any

I took my 2yo bloodhound (from a bloodhound rescue group) to the vet and he
heard a heart murmur.  No congestion but the murmur is 3/6.
I only have experience with old dogs and congestive heart failure.
Can my dog, Maynard, live a normal life?  Can I take him running,
