This is a companion piece to my cat FURminator review. I wanted to show the tool "in action" with two of my cats: Barnie, a very long-haired feisty young neutered male, and Greta an elderly spayed female short-haired cat.

That's good because I get excited when they get excited! : ) I sort of do the "Snoopy" dance, you know the one, where Snoopy twinkle-toes up in the air. : )

It is hard to remember all of your questions (and the answers!) when stressed about your pet. Here are some tips to help facilitate communication at the vet office.

I'm fortunate in that I have two vets that I really trust. One specializes in ferrets, but is an hour away and the other is an experienced overall vet and is close to home, for emergencies. We also discovered that our ferret specialist trained with our local vet, so it's handy that they are friends and will consult with one another.

Great tips! I love our vet. We are truly "partners" in my dog's care. There is always discussion, sometimes coming from 2 different ends of the thought process, but we always talk until we meet somewhere along the line, where we both feel comfortable with the plan. That really helps keep the "uncontrollable" emotion at bay, because I never feel helpless.
When there is good communication, the rest always falls into place.

About.com Veterinary Medicine Harris Parkway Animal Hospital Speaking of wheels, have you seen this amazing "prosthetic"? It really is a cross between traditional "wheels" and a higher tech prosthetic/orthotic materials! It looks amazing. Looks like interesting (theoretical) potential to articulate if a distal limb iss...ue/paralysis. The sling portion looks very supportive over a greater area (tho shld have tiny holes for airing the tummy I think, like a good orthotic - yeah, I have a physical therapy background and a little doggie rehab training fr. U Tenn Vet Sc). I wonder about Hope now, a year later?Read More

A Maltese puppy born without legs has had a prosthetic device built from model aeroplane wheels to help it move around. Hope was born with tiny nubs where her legs should be.

About.com Veterinary Medicine Alison Doyle, the Guide to About.com Job Searching asked me to post this about her beloved dog, Ian. It is a beautiful story of *senior dog adoption* Thanks, Alison.

Ian is just one of the many dogs saved by Peppertree. What goes into saving a dog, just one dog, is mostly the unpaid, unsung heroes that volunteer in dog rescue do day in and day out with a never ending ...
