Veterinary Blog in Gilbert
A story in The New York Post yesterday reported the heartwarming tale of a beagle in Georgia who was traced back to his former home in Queens, NY. Rocky squeezed under the backyard gate and vanished into the night back in 2003, leaving a six year-old girl teary-eyed and wondering of his fate until recently. Fast-forward…
Read MoreThe truth about CATS, published today in USA WEEKEND Magazine, describes what author Steve Dale calls a “dirty little secret:” the fact that there are nearly 10 million more pet cats than pet dogs in the US, but they often get the short shrift—in the form of poor public perception, less frequent veterinary care, and fewer research dollars…
Read MoreI recently realized that I must’ve fallen from Dolittler’s subscription list during a recent upgrade and wasn’t getting Dr. Patty’s daily post by e-mail anymore. I clicked over to do some catching up and started following some links on her blogroll, and—as often happens on the internet—ended up in places I’d never intended reading things…
Read MoreAfter three weeks of trips around the block, I finally got to take the “walk” I’d been waiting for last weekend. Mom and dad took me down to the San Rafael Valley in southeastern Arizona, home of oak-studded grassy canyons and the Mearn’s quail, a really cool little bird that pointing dogs love. While I…
Read MoreWe went to see Dr. Lirtzman today, and I got the news I was looking for! Two or three brief walks a day in the neighborhood for the next few weeks, with increasing “road time” after that. Although I still have some soreness in my shoulders, there is very little swelling and I no longer…

Read MoreSo, it’s been 9 days since the shoulder surgery, and (aside from a dorky haircut and some surgical staples) you’d never know I’ve been under the knife. I am still taking anti-inflammatory drugs and injections to help my cartilage heal, but Mom and Dad stopped sedating me a day or two ago, and I’m driving…
Read MoreWell, it’s been two days since Dr. Lirtzman removed a dime-sized cartilage flap from each of my shoulders, and already Dad’s having trouble keeping me quiet. Consequently, I’m spending a lot of time resting in my kennel, save for short leash walks into the yard to go to the bathroom. I’m not sure who this…
Read MoreHey, it’s me, Archie. Don’t tell my mom I hijacked her laptop, OK? Dad (a.k.a. Dr. Griswold) has been having so much fun with this blog thing, I thought I’d give it a try. It took everything in me to behave and not keep the whole family awake by wrestling with Rana at bedtime, but…
