Cocker puppy shot dead in Corbett, OR

If you love them, don’t them unattended. This cocker spaniel puppy was shot point blank on the owners porch.

You deliberately shot her between the eyes… It’s not like this was an accident. You had to have wanted to do that and I don’t understand that.

Cocker spaniels require regular grooming

If you don’t have time or even money, to take care of a dog, don’t bother taking it.Marlicua Soares

Bath & Trim

I gave Hoshi a bath and trim early this morning. I tried to make it quick but it still took almost three hours. I did the basics: head, neck, and paws.

Lead testing in Flint, Michigan

This video appears to be a veterinary student drawing blood from the external jugular vein. Her technique is poor. She does check her landmarks to verify needle placement. The alcohol was applied but somewhat randomly. I’m not sure if the needle stick site is the same as the alcohol. She didn’t scrub the site with alcohol either. She had difficulty finding the vein too. She had to “dig” for it: It’s something frowned upon in nursing and painful to the patient.

Personally, I don’t think drawing blood from the external jugular is safe because they could puncture the carotid artery or lung especially when they’re digging around.
