My dog has allergies

My dog has allergies and they are driving everyone crazy. My vet has given him all kinds of medicine, he gets better when he's on them. Once the meds are gone he gets worse again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Two lost Dogs

July 1st two dogs were found on Dixie Hwy close to West/East Pages Lane. One dog was hit by a car and both dogs were taken to Gailor Animal Hospital on Old Third Street Rd, by the picture I received the dog that was hit by the car seems not to be hurt bad. One dog is a Cocker Spaniel and the other is a Golden Retriever, both dogs appear well groomed and taken care of, someone is missing them terribly I'm sure, if you know who they belong to contact Ray at Stephenson's Florist at 8136

Urgent Border Collie in Need of Surgery

Skippy a Border Collie mix came to our rescue with a severe injury to his left front leg. He was rescued from a farm in rural KY, when we first received the call about Skippy one of our rescuers went out to inquire about him. The people reported that Skippy was not their dog but wandered onto their farm about a year ago with this injury. They provided him with a cardboard box to sleep in and gave him scraps every night when they arrived home from their catering business. They said that we cou

Concern For Outdoor Pets

We received this information from Metro Animal Services and wanted to share with Kentuckianapets members: Constant Cold Temperatures Cause Concern for Animals Left Outdoors “Despite their “fur” coats, domesticated animals like cats and dogs depend on people to protect them from the elements,” said Jackie Gulbe, assistant director for community relations. “Many pet owners will claim that their pets like to be outside, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe for them.” MAS is offering the following sugg… Continue

Slimming Down

Does your pet need to lose weight? To check your dog, move your hands along his sides. If you can feel his ribs, he's about right. When you look down on him you should be able to see a "waistline". A home test for kitty is to run your hands down her sides when she's standing. If her abdomen protrudes beyond the ribs, she's probably overweight. Next make a visit to your veterinarian. He'll examine your pet to make sure that the extra weight is not being caused by another health condition, such as… Continue

Dogs Helping the Sick

I have been thinking about the way that pets are used to help those having surgery. When my son had a procedure last year, they used a dog to help calm him down so they could start the IV. I think it is great how animals are used in this way. To see a child who is scared to death because he is having Heart surgery crack a smile is worth its weight in gold. Use more animals in this way!

Thank You to Metro Animal Services Staff

There has been a lot of media coverage about the recent flooding at MAS. Some of it very positive and some negative. Having spent the last two days at the makeshift shelt at the fairgrounds and performing cleanup at the shelter itself, I just wanted to pause a moment and comment on the negative. First, MAS in general sometimes gets a bad wrap because they do have to euthanize animals on occasion. This is never because that is the staff's choice. Everyone at Metro is there because they care. I ca… Continue
