  Does anyone in the valley have any experience with pet insurance? Is it a good idea? Helpful? Can you use it anywhere? Expensive? I’m looking to get it for my new German Shepherd with knowing their lengthy list of health problems. Any knowledge would be helpful! TIA

  Jack G. asked:

  Does anyone know of a good vet in the Huntington area? The dog is limping and I'm figuring I'll give him a chance before I put him down.

  Jon T. asked:

  Can anyone advise? I have a GSH pointer crossed with flat coat retriever. He is a very fit 10 year old but has recently suffered with acute pain at the base of his spine where it meets his tail. Suspecting arthritis I treated him with Youmove which certainly helped after a week or so. A month on and the pain has returned restricting his gait whilst walking/running. With the pain he is downbeat and normal exercise has been reduced which probably doesn't help his mood. He is eating normally so I am considering pain relief but he suffers from grand mal seizures infrequently.

  Help needed please. I have read conflicting information all over so thought I would ask the experts :-) what food bowl would you recommend? A slow eater bowl or a raised bowl that you adjust the height off?? Any help will much greatly appreciated

  Most of the good info is in pdf, and I don't know how to link. However, WDJ and other reputable sources quote Purdue and other notable studies on bloat. http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/.../features/15682-1.html

  Lori B. asked:

  How do I find a vet behavioralist? Or know they qualify?

  

  Kelly V. replied:

  If you haven't done so already, Lori, you may want a vet to check his thyroid. Dr. Jean Dodds has an extremely comprehensive thyroid test. You can request that your vet mail her the blood, and she will get results back to you quickly. Here is an interesting article. http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/.../features/15723-1.html

  Kimberly M. asked:

  I am looking for some baby or dog gates for cheap. My dog has a torn ACL and we need to restrict his activity without having to crate him. I am also wondering if anyone else has gone the non-surgical route on this. He is a healthy 65 lb dog otherwise who caught one too many frisbees in his day!!
