Not me, forgetting to wash my hands after spraying down various edges of furniture with bitter apple to discourage the puppy from chewing on it and then making myself a sandwich... 🤢😆 The puppy in question:

I know this is early, but that's kind of how the internet has things set. If it were my call, I wouldn't write such an article or publish this until after the US Thanksgiving. It is a super fun ebook featuring Henry. Goodnight and be safe! tailwagwisdom.com/dog-holiday-... #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Why I refuse to use AI internet searches, and you should too Photo by Victor Cayke on Pexels.com The other day, I had a new client come in with her senior dog for an annual exam. During the course of the examination, we went over the patient's medications and supplements. Because the patient was…

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

It was Goodall's trailblazing research on the personalities and social interactions of the chimpanzees she so closely studied that changed the way we view our connection to the animal kingdom.

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall💚

Just found out my childhood hero, Jane Goodall, has died. This is truly the end of an era.

Some reflections on my own experiences with rabies on World Rabies Day. TR: mention of pet death bitesizedpetguides.com/uncategorize...

Definitely fog and fatigue

New urolith identified in dogs, associated with diet, supplements. #doghealth bitesizedpetguides.com/uncategorize...

OMG, dog #1 did an amazing job!

The gap between Covid vaccine policy rhetoric and reality is stark. These new restrictions will reduce vaccination rates despite claims of continued availability. www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

OMG. For heaven's sake, WATCH OL' YELLER.

I was doing a search this morning and discovered that you can order a copy of Understanding Your Pet's Labwork from Walmart! I didn't know that... does that mean I've made it to the big time? 😆 www.walmart.com/ip/Understan...

Given the temperatures, I thought it was time to re-up this post. #doghealth #doghealthtips #heatstroke bitesizedpetguides.com/health-topic...

Another gut wrenching but inspirational contribution from @gregggonsalves.bsky.social. Read it and weep and battle on

Love this 🧵 Music and Mantras specific to dogs and cats. Check it out!

Whoa. Answers Pet Food receives this letter from the FDA. no recalls yet, but it sounds like there should be. #pethealth #petfood www.fda.gov/inspections-...

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

We only rate dogs. This is Chewbacca having a spa day. He's trying to relax. Please give him some privacy. 13/10

Same, buddy! 😆

This is Boone. He's a little suspicious that this might secretly be a bath. Too soon to tell but he'll report back. 12/10

If you’ve never seen an animal die from rabies, and/or never had to test an animal for rabies, consider yourself lucky.

I once had a client who had no idea why letting an unvaccinated tomcat sleep on her child's bed at night was a horrible idea. I told her to watch Ol' Yeller. Vaccines are victims of their success.

Nothing like realizing 30 minutes before you want to go to bed that you have no clean clothes to wear to work in the morning.

Please do your part to help ensure that COVID vaccines remain available for the entire population. I even advocated for updating them every 3-6 months. They want to limit it to those >65 or with high risk conditions. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Please comment on the availability of the covid vaccine this fall. I am begging you. Not only do the disabled and the elderly need these shots but also anyone who's a healthcare worker. We need the FDA and CDC to insist on this shot so we can be paid for by insurance. Thank you for caring.

xerces.org/pollinator-c... If you DO have yard space or outdoor space for container plants (US), the Xerces Society has a really lovely page where you can find out what species of native plants work well for pollinators in your area! Different species can specialize in different plants, plant lots!

My very first boss told me he never saw any cases of feline leukemia until I started working at his practice. That's because I tested for it.

Veterinarians need to be on the lookout too.

How is it that I'm only just now hearing #NationalGermanShepherdDay is a thing?

Today might be rough, so take this bird cooking tiny pastas.

UPDATE: His owner came in today to bring him home. ❤️ Reminder to microchip your pets, and keep the contact info up to date with the microchip company!

This is Dobby. Her grandkids got her an iPad to play Solitaire on. Can't even get this dang thing to turn on though. 12/10

This is Reggie and Pearl. Reggie holds the @guinnessworldrecords.com title for tallest dog living at 3 feet 3 inches. Pearl holds the title for shortest dog living at 3.59 inches. They just met for the first time for a playdate. 14/10 for both

This is Mazi. She brought one toy to bed for herself and one for each of her parents. This way, they all have a buddy to help them sleep safe and sound. 13/10

Somebody is clearly aware of the power of being adorable!

I'm not a fan of cheesecake but this could make me rethink my position...

So brave!

This is Dino. He saw you with that hot dog bun. Tried to get away but tripped over his own ears. 12/10 he has a family
