  1. Did anyone see the recent news report on Trifexis that has killed more than 700 dogs. Had any one heard if this is a true story or a fake. I'm concern because I just put my dog on this. After seeing this I'm thinking about going back to heartgard or triheart. Any thoughts?

  2. As a LVT of 13 yrs--gotta tell ya--I have seen them--one of my own hounds had one from a jug stick (e-vet). Clotting panel normal.

    Really!!!?? I have had numerous greyhounds and have never seen anything like this. I was shocked when I saw the photo. Now Ive seen your typical small little small hematomas but nothing this big since Ive started working in veterinary medicine, except on a dog that had got into rat poision. That is for sure new to me. I guess there is a first for everything.

  3. From personal experience and being a registered veterinary technician hematomas happen even when the proper technique is used. Now in my 9 years of working as a technician in the veterinary profession I have never seen a dog or even greyhound bleed like that following a blood draw and I have worked ER and general practice. I would be more concerned about a clotting issue. At least from the photo that was posted.

  4. Has anyone had luck with using the d.a.p collar or the wall plug ins for S.A with their dogs? My dog suffers from S.A and seems to do better out of the crate with muzzle on but I was going to try the d.a.p with the muzzle at first and then try without. Any experience with this working?? I have heard mix reviews from others.

  5. I have a greyhound that is having similar problems plus I also have 2 cats. She kept bending the crate door in addition to urinating and defecating in there. So now we leave her out during the day with muzzle on and she is so much better. I may also at some point try the d.a.p collar is what we recommend and the vet hospital I work at for moderate to severe separation aniexty which seems to also help
