With the weather taking a turn for the worse I’ve been able to do some work on the site this week and contribute a few updates:
- New Ask the Vet — In this week’s questions we examine two unique issues. The first
question deals with carpal hyperextension and the ramifications to a
working dog. In the second we look at a frustrating nail condition and
delve into the subject of bringing in a specialist to help with a case. Read More Here. - Photo Gallery — I fell in love with these spaniels after spending some time with them. Here are some of the images I captured this year. CLICK HERE
- Case of the Month – Back on track here with a new case. December’s case of the month involves a wirehair with a severe bite
issue. The dog needed a $2,500 surgery; see how we managed the case for
about $10. I also take the time to discuss the importance of
specialists in the field of veterinary medicine. To read more CLICK HERE
We’re trying to get back on schedule with the podcasts as well. I’m hoping to hit a stride with them after the first of the year as well as introducing our first video podcast…stay tuned.
In an effort for improved, current content I’m
trying to answer more questions each week. This week we tackle three
issues: a male with a breeding problem, bathing a duck dog and when its
time to see a vet.
After several emails I’ve received this week I also had to rehighlight the disclaimer at the top of the page.
To see the latest updates CLICK HERE.
In a continued effort to update the site at least weekly, and more so after hunting season. We have added a couple of new items in the last week.
- Two new Ask the Vet questions. This week we take a look at blastomycosis and dealing with the wear and tear of heavy cover. For the questions and answers CLICK HERE.
- Book Review:
Mark of the Grizzly by Scott McMillion. After my trip to Glacier I couldn’t get enough
information on these magnificent creatures. This book provided an
incredible amount of great information. To see the full review and information on purchasing the book CLICK HERE.
Even though we have been busy taking care of Maggie, between icing the leg and sitting in the waiting room I did manage some site updates:
- New Podcast - In addition to our regular content we feature an interview with Upland Journal Creator Brad Eden. For more information on the podcasts visit the Podcast Page.
- Ask The Vet - I updated with two new questions this week. We address ACLs and tendon injuries in the latest update to the Ask The Vet page.
We’ve added a couple of updates to the site this week:
- New Photo Gallery — I have a new rig for the camera while hunting. See some of the dog shots HERE
- New Ask The Vet — Dealing with pad cracks CLICK HERE
- Case of the Month — Its actually the case for October, and it is a rehash of an old blog on a hip dysplasia post. CLICK HERE
If you haven’t visited the main page in a while we’ve added a number of new updates this week:
- New article on dental care and scenting: CLICK HERE
- Updated Ask The Vet: CLICK HERE
- Updated Photo Gallery: CLICK HERE for a variety of Glacier Wildlife
We’ve posted a new Ask the Vet at the Ask the Vet Homepage. One of the most difficult decisions we make as pet owners is deciding “when it’s time”…Click Here for More.
We’ve updated the Ask the Vet question for the week, take a look at the new question:
Q.)
I have a 10-month old Pointer that came to me as a rescue. She is very,
very thin. We have had her checked for parasites with nothing found.
She is energetic but I am able to see her ribs and her bones seem
small. She is kenneled with my other Pointer who eats the same food the
new one is on and does well. What is a safe way to encourage the new
pup to gain weight without causing my older dog to gain weight too?
A.)
I would say that in practice it is rare to see dogs that are too thin
on a consistent basis. What I do see is that there are a few breeds
that tend to fall on the lower end of the ideal body condition scale…Click Here for More
The first podcast giveaway is coming to a close. If you haven’t registered for the free Frontline or Mud River Gear, visit the Audio Podcast Page to learn more. We will be accepting submissions through tomorrow midday.
We made it back from our hiking and photography trip to Glacier National Park, and I can’t wait to get the new pictures up on the site. It was a fantastic trip, and I’ll relay the details as I post the photo galleries.
Monday we posted a new Ask the Vet question if you haven’t had a chance take a look.
Tomorrow we will be making some updates to the site, and by midweek we will have the next episode of the Audio Podcasts up on the site.
Our prairie grouse seasons open this weekend and I’m DYING to get out; next Sunday night I hope to post my first hunting update of the season.
The site has now been up for two weeks and we’ve given a couple of tours, now it’s time to start with a more regular update schedule. In addition, hunting seasons got underway today in South Dakota, which means the blog will turn into…well…a blog, as soon as I find time to get out in the field.
We’ve added two new ask the vet questions to the Ask the Vet page.
In addition, our local NAVHDA chapter, turned “All-Pointing Dog” club held its first AKC Hunt test this weekend and I managed to follow a few braces. View the photo gallery for pictures.
