Many pets are prone to ear infections — especially those with long, floppy ears. Because of this, many dog owners are familiar with the symptoms of dog ear infections. Common symptoms of dog ear infections include: Excessive itching and scratching at the ear Head shaking, particularly when it looks awkward or unnatural Swelling and redness around the ear canal Scratching at the affected ear Unusual discharge and odor Scabs or crusted over the skin in the ears The ear canal of dogs is much more vertical than the human ear canal. This L-shape makes it more susceptible to holding fluid and disruption from bacteria, yeast, or ear mites — all of which are causes of infection. There are three types of dog ear infections: Otitis externa, the most common one that typically affects the outer portion of the ear Otitis media, affecting the middle part of the ear canal and usually a secondary development in up to 50% of chronic otitis externa cases Otitis interna, referring to inner ear infections that can result in n

What Causes Urinary Tract Issues in Dogs? Almost all dog urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria, which are normally present on the skin or in a dog’s poop. Typically, problems start when the bacteria move up through the genitals and spread into the bladder, kidneys, and prostate.  Bacteria irritate the urinary tract causing inflammation (swelling). Some types of bacteria can also cause stones to develop in the bladder.   Any dog can have a UTI, but Sharon Marx, DVM, medical director of VCA Animal Healing Center in Yardley, Penn., says some dogs are more likely to get them. Older female dogs and those who hold their urine for a long time are more susceptible. Your dog may also be at higher risk if he has:  Diabetes Bladder stones A weakened immune system, due to medications or medical conditions like Cushing’s disease or hypothyroidism Warning Signs of Urinary Tract Infections Dog UTI symptoms are easily noticeable if you know what to look for. Signs of a UTI in dogs include:  Frequent

Cindy Myers Ambassador to Animals, Humans and Spirit   I’ve always been a good listener. However, twenty years ago, I would have found it hilarious if you told me that I’d be working as an intuitive energy healer while living on an alpaca farm! But, here I am with a herd of 24 alpacas, 3 dogs and 3 cats working as a Medical Intuitive! I believe that the sum of our life experiences can lead us to our true calling in life. There are many paths to finding our way to our authentic selves.   It took many years, multiple and diverse career paths, and tough life challenges to finding my true calling. The life lessons were invaluable that led me to this meaningful life. I learned about frequencies and Radars while working as an Engineer for the Navy and now I am a Radar! I learned all about stress and how harmful it is to our body, mind and spirit while being my mom’s caregiver through her final years. And there was an amazing gift I created out of the house fire I experienced due to an arsonist. Losing my belongings

Cannabis (Marijuana) Intoxication in Cats and Dogs By Rania Gollakner, BS, DVM; Lynn Buzhardt, DVM    Care & Wellness, Emergency Situations, Pet Services Marijuana (or cannabis) refers to the dried parts of the Cannabis plant. Cannabis has been used since 500 BC as an herbal medicine, and for products such as rope, textiles, and paper. Today, cannabis is primarily used for medicinal or recreational purposes. Cannabis can be smoked like a cigarette, inhaled via vaporizers, or ingested via food and drink. Cannabis contains more than 100 different chemicals (or compounds) called cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the cannabinoid that has the most psychoactive effects. It is also the compound responsible for some of cannabis’ medicinal uses, such as treating nausea and improving appetite in cancer patients. Other compounds, such as cannabidiol (CBD), have shown promise for medicinal use and do not have psychoactive effects. "The increased accessibility to the drug has led to an increase in acc
