Wouldn't prostate problems be unrelated to blood-tinged vomiting? I'm so sorry, I know how this kind of mystery can tear you apart.

Poor Bounty! I didn't follow what all you've done already, so forgive me if you've said this elsewhere... but have you done x-rays and ultrasounds on chest and abdomen already?

I posted this in ABT, but seemed more apropos here...

Good luck. :

A beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing Beck's story with us. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Ouch!! Did you ever figure out how it happened?

That's so cool! I'm glad you noticed that behavior!

Holy crow, I wonder what happened! I hope he's going to be okay!

Oh I'm so so sorry to hear of Lilah's passing. My heart goes out to you.

Tipper pukes water if he tanks it in too fast. I often have to interrupt his drinking to prevent overindulgence. If I make him take several small drinks over a few minutes, he's fine. But if he takes one looong drink, it's guaranteed I'll be mopping it up in a minute or two. Puking food is less normal. If Alan is puking food regularly, I'd be more concerned. Is he active immediately before or after his meals? If so, maybe try to make sure he follows "swimmer's rules" regarding eating and activity. After exercise, let his tum settle for at least 30 minutes before a meal, and an hour or two after, before allowing him to run around again. Hope this helps.

Oh Rita is just the most adorable little girlie! Those pics with poppa are just priceless! Even my hubby "aaaawwwwwww-ed" over them SO glad she's feeling better!

Starting gradually is key. That, and using poultry-flavored toothpaste. For my pups, I started by just putting a bit of toothpaste on the brush and letting them lick it off. Over the course of a few days, I gradually start just brushing the easily reached teeth. Once they seem comfortable with that, over the next few days, I become increasingly thorough, until I'm getting all teeth scrubbed. By this time it's routine, and they all line up to get their teeth brushed. They seem to like the sensation, and will sort of "air-chew" while I brush. As for the exact how, I have them stand up, and I straddle their backs, leaning over their heads. This allows me to easily hook the corner of their mouth with a finger and pull the lips back with one hand, while brushing with the other so I can reach all those tiny teeth waaaay in the back (you know, the ones that always seem to decay first ).

That is amazing! Keep up the good work, brave boy-o!

Like others have said, the fever alone was likely a symptom, not the problem. The first overt indication of my Sissy's liver and spleen cancer was unexplained fever. I kept her cooled with a fan and intermittant cold packs, but there's nothing I could've done to save her. I know. I tried. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Wow! And yuck! So was the "white stuff" like pus, or something else? (sorry, just perverse curiosity...) I hope this means you're nearing an end to Rita's foot woes. :

Try soaking it with warm water and epsom salts. That might help ease the pain a little bit. Poor baby. I'm sorry you'll miss the picnic. I think you need to post a video of your rooing trick, it sounds adorable!

I've no experience with seed warts, but I can say it does not look like any corn I've ever seen. And I agree with everyone else-- that pic of her in daddy's lap is waaaay too cute!

Definitely a second opinion from a savvy vet. That's what I'd do too (and have done).

A veterinary radiologist. Not sure of your location, but usually they can be found at major Universities with a veterinary college. Most regular vets are happy to forward their xrays to universities. Forgot to ask, but were the xrays digital, or traditional films? Digital xrays tend to be a LOT clearer and higher quality (quicker/easier to take too ). If they used films, a specialist may want to retake them digitally.

Have a radiologist look at the xrays. Specialists often see and understand what regular vets miss.

I just can't believe it. Just can't. I'm so horribly sorry DeVon.

Oh my god. Devon, I am so so so sorry.

Still keeping you and poor Skittle in my thoughts every day.

Thank goodness for such great news!

Oh DeVon, I've been thinking of you nonstop. Please drive carefully.
