PROGRAMS in ANIMAL BEHAVIOR & RELATED STUDIES
Those of us whom love animals study everything animals do. Until about 10 years ago, the choices of study were limited. And, even then, chances were, it was difficult to evaluate the legitimacy of the institution, as it is today.
There are several roads one can take to advance in the knowledge of animal behavior. Perhaps checking out the types of available jobs may help in deciding what direction of study would be right for you. Read the Full Story

Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments, affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the Christmas fire, and make the little picture shining in our bright young eyes, complete.

Antifreeze Poisoning In Dogs And Cats I encountered my first case of antifreeze poisoning when I was fresh out of college. This was a dog that just didn’t seem right to its owners. When I examined the dog the only thing I could find that was wrong with it was some sensitivity to touch in its high abdomen and a lack of appetite. Unfortunately, the lab work showed that irreversible damage to the kidneys had already occurred. In my second case of antifreeze poisons I was much luckier.

I administered intravenous fluids and bicarbonate to this pup and kept him drunk for 72 hours. He recovered completely. Read the Full Story

According to DVMNews.com the canine influenza outbreak has now been confirmed in 22 states. New preliminary data suggests an infection rate of 16%.

COMMUNICATION and COMMANDS Understanding How Dogs Communicate
When we talk to our dog do we know how much they actually understand? Even their own name must be taught to them. Yet expect them to comprehend the nature and significance of our intricate language. I cannot tell you how many times people have said to me that their dog thinks it’s human. I always give the same answer "No it doesn't it thinks you're a dog" though not strictly true as dogs are conspecific, ie they can only form a true pack with their own kind. It does serve to emphasise that dogs are not humans in little furry coats. Their method of communication is primarily body language, olfactory and some verbal communication.
