Should I be worried about West Nile Virus? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A close friend has a relative who is hospitalized with West Nile Virus. He has encephalitis and is non-responsive. Apparently, it is quite rare for people to manifest serious problems with this disease, but I have heard that there have been over half a dozen human cases in the Boston area in the past few months. Is this true? I understand that this is primarily an animal disease and wonder if my two dogs are at risk. Should I take any special precautions with them? L.F. With respect to people, t
Need help for kitty with kidney disease (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am writing in the hope of a quick response to a situation regarding my 16-year-old cat. He was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease a few years ago and for the last year or so I have been giving him 75 ml of lactated ringers solution daily by the subcutaneous method. As of two days ago, it seems that the volume of fluid has not been absorbing well. As a matter of fact, it is pooling in his feet and under his belly.

Read excerpt
Our cat is a former feral stray that we took in when he was young and by best estimates he is now almost 12.

He now stays mostly on our back porch when he goes outside so what vaccines
Dog’s appetite comes and goes after procedure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I write to you after a frustrating 5-6 weeks of our little 12-year-old dog eating off and on after a dental procedure requiring several extractions, mostly of his front teeth. Our old vet had suggested a dentistry for a few years, and we finally got around to having it done. Our dog went home with antibiotics and a drug called carprofen. He did well for a while but then stopped eating for the most part. He seemed to devour some foods and turn his nose up at others. Recheck revealed nothing wrong
Dog’s X-rays raise some concerns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My 12-year-old dog was choking on something, so I took him into a local emergency veterinary hospital. Everything seemed to check out OK, but they suggested that we take some x-rays. They found that my dog has both an enlarged spleen and liver, but they did not see any masses and the gall bladder seemed normal. What could be going on? They suggested that I consider follow-up testing such as an ultrasound to ascertain if there is anything of significance. Does that sound logical? He is an older d
