  1. Dog Tails and Myths

    <span style="font-size: small;">I still hear the same dog myths today that I remember hearing as a child. Call them myths, ol' wives' tails, folklore or superstitions, but they are not true and in fact may be just bad advice.&nbsp; They have been passed down from the Great and Powerful OZ and, even still, reside in the gospel of digital Dr. Google.&nbsp; There is no doubt that you will shudder and balk at the blasphemy against hundreds of years of &ldquo;proof&rdquo; that these fallacies are fact.&nbsp; It will rock the very core of your dog knowledge that you have rooted and passed on to all others who seek your mentoring and advice because you are&hellip;..&nbsp; &ldquo;Dog Person&rdquo;!&nbsp; If these &ldquo;facts&rdquo; as you know them are false, what else in this world can be true?&nbsp; Next thing you are going to tell me is that Lassie wasn&rsquo;t a real show about saving the life of little Timmy every week and, worse yet, Lassie was a boy dog!</span>

  7. Beef cows can get milk fever too!

    One of my favorite calls in practice was to treat an uncomplicated case of milk fever. Some vets might not share that view. The reason was that for most dairies, like the ones I worked with, these milk fevers would first be detected when the farmer...

  13. Burb's Eye View: Feverishly, urgently chasing a Google fail

    On day four of the eyeball-punching ache that invaded my frontal cortex, I thought things were under control. But sickness is a slippery, devilish thing. I usually live life undetected by the bugs and viruses and bacteria with the scary-sounding Latin...

  19. The sniffling and coughing season

    Flu season is upon us again, but authorities say it won't exhibit as mild a form this year as in seasons past. On Friday, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially declared flu an epidemic in Maryland and 46 other states, meaning the number of new cases significantly exceeds what would be expected during a normal year. Health officials are stockpiling vaccine and making it available at hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and doctors' offices, but members of the public have to do their part as well by doing everything possible to get vaccinated before they get sick.

  23. How I spent my sick days

    Recently, after a couple of days of feeling a bit run down, I groused to my wife that I didn't feel bad enough to miss work, just bad enough to make work a lot harder than usual. "It might be nice to feel bad enough to have to stay home," I said sardonically.
