On November 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine issued an alert warning pet parents and veterinarians to keep a close eye on animals receiving the insulin product, Vetsulin, to treat animal diabetes. The product, which is manufactured by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal, may contain varying amounts of crystalline zinc insulin, and could cause a delay in insulin action and an overall longer duration of insulin activity, according to the FDA.
“Pet parents whose diabetic dogs or cats are currently being treated with Vetsulin insulin should contact their veterinarians to discuss appropriate measures,” says Dr. Louise Murray, Director of Medicine at the ASPCA. “Examples of alternative insulin choices include Humulin N and Levemir insulins for dogs, and Lantus (glargine) insulin for cats. These insulins require different syringes than those used to administer Vetsulin, and it is essential that pet parents work closely with their veterinarians when making any changes.”
Veterinarians should monitor their patients who are receiving Vetsulin, and consider transitioning them to the insulin products outlined above.

For those who may not know, BET, or Black Entertainment Television, has given Michael Vick his own show. I'm not sure if it's a "reality" show or a "life of" show, but this guy is gonna make even more money off of being a criminal. Some will say that he's an amazing athlete and that's why he's famous, but before the dog fighting, the only people who knew his name were sports enthusiasts. Now that he's broken the law and been all over the news for animal cruelty, everyone knows who he is and he's using that to make a profit. The money he was fined and the time he served was a pittance compared to what he has and what he will continue to make off of this. I think anyone who loves animals and think this is wrong should ban BET and email them telling them why. Celebrities need to be put in their place and we need to let them know they are not above the law.
Soon I will be losing one of my best friends, he is the first and oldest of my babies. His name is Max. Old age is getting the best of him no matter what we do to help. He will soon be leaving me to go to doggy heaven. I will miss him dearly, but will keep him forever in my heart. He is a good friend and listener. I am selling items on ebay to help with his final resting place. Please check out my auctions and help if you can. I do not want to bury him because when I go, what will happen to his grave site. I do not like cremation, but he can then be buried with me . What do you think is the best option? Any opinion I will greatly appreciate.
I have a chihuahua, 1 year old, yesterday evening I left money in my living room table and guess what she ate them. My question, is it dangerous, might she get sick because of that? thanks!!!!!
The animal rescue site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to neglected & abused animals. Please go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free. It doesn't cost a thing. Sponsors and advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food in exchange for advertising. I bookmarked the site and click it every day. www.theanimalrescuesite.com. It's a great idea and this neighborhood would help feed these poor animals.
http://www.pleasehelpannamaie.com/news/. This is a ligit site. I called the vet in St. Augustine. This little dog needs help now. If you can, please help her. She will be needing back surgery as soon as possible. I don't normally post something like this and it's not meant in anyway but to help this poor little girl. Thanks. Barb
Do any of you have Leongergers? We have a 3 year old female who we adore. She has passed her Pet Therapy certification, loves to to carting and agility and is just a wonderful companion. We are deciding whether to breed her once or have her spayed, however there are not many Leonbergers in the area (we live near Virginia Beach, Va) We would love to hook up with other Leonberger owners.
My dad is in very very poor health, he has a little dog and cat, these guys keep my Dad going and give him something more than any of us children could or even my Mom;) The bond of love is so powerful~ The beauty of mans best friends:)
