Despite having almost no ears (someone cropped his ears too short before we adopted him), Hugo’s ears get really dirty. And although he had no interest in letting me take a photo of his icky ears, I can assure you that they are pretty gross.

As some of you know, our dog Hugo was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor back in April. Since his initial diagnosis and surgery, the MCT returned. He has been on chemo since September with three more treatments to go and is doing well. We had a scare a few weeks ago when his liver [...]

We had a little scare last week. The vet has asked us to keep an eye on the area around Hugo’s suture for any returning tumors. Within a couple of days of the surgery, a mass had started to form just below the suture line, so I immediately freaked out and thought [...]

Hugo had his mass removed today. We dropped him off at the vet at 8:30AM this morning. His surgery was scheduled at 2PM, but the vet had an opening so it was actually completed this morning. I just picked him up and he’s pretty dopey, but doing well. He has a huge incision on his [...]

Last Thursday we found out that Hugo has a Mast Cell Tumor. I took him to the vet for an eye infection and asked the vet to check a fatty lump while I was there. Ends up that the “fatty lump” is a cancerous tumor. The vet advised that Hugo is in otherwise good health [...]

On February 26, the Humane Society of the United States held their annual Spay Day event promoting the responsibility of pet owners’ to have their pets spayed or neutered. Over 31,000 cats and dogs were spayed/neutered and over $200,000 was raised – in one day! For the full story, check out the HSUS website.

Question:
Hello I have a question that I don’t know the answer to. I have a puppy. My friends keep telling me it has worms. Where did it get them and how do I get rid of them? The dog rubs his rear on the carpet a lot and leaves marks, which I don’t like much. [...]
