So I figured given that I had some time to really carefully look over
Erwin's X-Rays in private (I took them home to see if I could come up with a
good way to get them in to a digital format), it might be a good time to

My  3 year old female Chow was spayed on Wednesday.  When I picked her up
from the vet, he said that a normal uterus is pink in color but that hers

I had my 12 year old dog put down yesterday. Was told that it would be
peaceful and painless. It went horribly in the other direction. She writhed
and jerked on the table, while she was whimpering and yipping. All this
before the entire syringe contents had been injected into her. ...

I'm sure some/many of you have noticed the recent upsurge in spam in this

Our puppy mill rescued bichon-mix has been diagnosed with 1 to 2 year
terminal liver disease. The diagnosis came from hepatic blood tests
