One of the more common problems veterinarians see that not many people are aware of is urinary incontinence in female dogs. This is also referred to as spay incontinence or hormone responsive incontinence as it tends to happen mostly in dogs who have been spayed.
First, let’s review what it means to be [...]]]></description>

As I drive to work each day, I pass by one particular house with a dog who is always in the yard at the time I drive by. He runs the property line, protecting his territory with a bark and energetic sprinting about. And although I don’t know him or his owners [...]]]></description>

The warm weather is here and unfortunately we had our first heat stroke fatality before June even arrived as well as a second near fatality. These were both dogs who were spoiled and sheltered by their loving families, but who got themselves into tragic situations where the dangers of hot weather became [...]]]></description>

Through my years of veterinary school at Virginia Tech, there was an X-ray hanging by the radiology department clearly showing a 12-inch carving knife in the abdomen of a dog. This was no hoax, and while I don’t remember the story exactly, I believe some knucklehead dog jumped on the family dinner [...]]]></description>

If there’s one thing I see a lot of as a small animal veterinarian, it’s diarrhea. It has always held true that the two most common causes of diarrhea in dogs and cats are parasites and diet. So when my own 10-month-old Labrador Retriever woke us up at 1 a.m. last week [...]]]></description>

Sadly, we lost Kaya just after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember going to a Christmas party years ago at the house of a friend who owned two Labrador retrievers. Late in the evening, most of the guests had filtered to the basement where a band played, leaving the food and the dogs alone upstairs. Feeling the need for a late snack, I wandered upstairs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first adopted my oldest dog Kaya, you could tell she hadn’t spent much time indoors. She was about 9 months old and a nervous wreck. She had no idea what couches were and would never consider getting up on a bed. It was as if she was on her best behavior, hoping not to be sent back to the shelter. [...]]]></description>

“Petey” was a dog who was killed by kindness. Petey weighed 30 pounds.
The problem was that Petey should’ve weighed 20 pounds. Petey was morbidly obese.
You really can’t blame him though. He was just a dog who loved food. His appetite was ridiculous. He could never be satisfied. He was always begging for [...]]]></description>
