    questions on spay

    Our vet is offering laser scalpel instead of the traditional knife for the spay. It supposedly reduces the swelling and leads to faster healing, quicker recovery. Does anyone have experience with this?? Cimorene goes in on Tuesday for her spay. She is 2 1/2 yrs. She's had cycle issues since...

    In season...again.

    Just looking for some sympathy...looks like we might need to just get Cimorene spayed. I had all of her bloodwork/thyroid done with Dr. Dodds back in March and all checked out ok. Her first two seasons were just 2 months apart (starting at 7 months of age) Then there was a 4 month break. Now...

    Cimorene sick

    Please send some prayers and healing thoughts this way... As I've mentioned recently, Cimorene is in season again, 9 1/2 weeks after her first one.

    Help! In Season Again??

    Cimorene is dripping blood again. She was just in season from Thanksgiving until the week before Christmas. Could she possibly be in heat again or is something wrong?? Thanks for any info. Everything I looked up online says 2-3 times per year.

    Oh Dear...mats

    Cimorene is very matted on her groin area. She was recently in heat for 4 weeks. She bled quite a bit and wore boxer briefs the entire time. I have to say, I guess I missed the matting starting when I bathed her after it was all over. I was brushing her out today and YIKES. I'm a bit...

    How to go in the snow??

    Just had to share...Cimorene is out in the snow, which is now higher than her tummy and looking rather bewildered. Her "pooping grounds" as we call it, are not going to work. There are other areas less deep, such as in the wooded area of our yard. Well, changed her mind, maybe she doesn't...

    Our O.C. and Halloween photos

    Here's a link to the photos we took. With the children along, we had a slightly different venue on Saturday...going trick-or-treating. It was a lot of fun doing it at the beach. Afterwards, I asked the kids if they had fun trick-or-treating and they both quickly replied, YES, but they liked...
