Dog owners should be aware of the fact that puppies are usually born with some immunity which soon wanes, that is why vaccinations are necessary. Some diseases are hereditary and cannot be detected until a dog becomes at least 18 months of age.

A dog swallowed a zinc-containing die from a poker dice set and got very sick. Acute zinc toxicosis has been associated with hemolytic anemia, pancreatitis, pancreatic fibrosis, severe diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy and kidney failure. Zinc can be found in many household items including calamine lotion, zinc oxide ointments, shampoos, paints, galvanized products used in fencing, metal pet kennels, and coating for nails as well as the nuts and bolts used on pet transport kennels. One-cent coins from the United States minted after 1982 are made predominantly of zinc with a copper coating. In Canada, pennies minted between 1997 and 1999 are composed of 98.4% zinc. Once ingested, zinc is dissolved in a pH-dependent manner by gastric acid to form soluble zinc salts which can be absorbed into the circulation and can cause direct irritation and ulceration.
A 2-year-old female Pomeranian dog was found dead in a pool of bloody feces the morning after it had been at a dog show. The previous day the dog was bright, alert, responsive, eating, and drinking. It had been fed a commercial diet. The dog was in good health; it had no history of vomiting or diarrhea. The dog had not been treated recently and was up-to-date on vaccinations. The owners were concerned about the possibility of poisoning so they submitted the body for necropsy to the Animal Health Laboratory (AHL) in Guelph, Ontario. Necropsy revealed acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Externally, the dog was in good condition except that the hair of the hind legs was matted in red fecal material. The fatal disease was caused by Clostridium perfringens bacteria.
A new type of parvovirus called Canine bocavirus 3 (CnBoV3) has been discovered recently in the liver of a dog with severe disease causing severe hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, necrotizing vasculitis, granulomatous lymphadenitis and renal failure. A dog suffering from vomiting and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis was euthanized after a rapid disease course lasting seven days.
Robenacoxib proved effective in reducing lameness in dogs with failure of the cranial cruciate ligament and osteoarthritis of the stifle joint. The drug also reduced levels of C-reactive protein in the synovial fluid taken from the affected stifle joint. Robenacoxib appears to reduce articular inflammation as assessed by C-reactive protein which supports the concept that Robenacoxib is a tissue-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
Know a friend who just lost his six year old pit bull. The dog broke it’s forearms and while thrashing around in his kennel at the vet, lost a number of teeth. In the process of fixing his teeth, his jaw broke so they put him down. Could this dog have had ‘brittle bone disease’?
