Chihuahua Pictures | Dirty Chihuahua Puppy

We, the cats and dogs of this household, threw the chihuahua puppy in the hamper with the dirty clothes hoping M wouldn't notice.

Chihuahua pictures:

Unfortunately M, noticed before doing the laundry. She got mad at us and she stuck him in a bag.

Frankly, I don't see the difference.

And now the PSA

Have you purchased pet insurance yet? 

It is a good idea to purchase pet insurance when your pet is still young and there are no preexisting conditions. As the tiny two-month-old chihuahua puppy demonstrates, it's also a good idea to buy pet insurance when your pet is young because, younger pets are more likely to endanger their lives. Puppy and kitten proofing your home is always the most important thing to do, but since accidents are inevitable and both emotionally and financially burdensome, at least eliminate the only factor you can control.

Rimadyl

What is Rimadyl

Rimadyl is the name Pfizer uses for Carprofen. It's like saying Advil instead of Ibuprofen, for humans. If you have a dog that you're told needs to be on Rimadyl, especially for a log time, skip the brand name and opt for a generic, cheaper brand. It's the same thing. Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug mainly used to treat dog arthritis symptoms and flare ups along with hip dysplasia in a senior dog as a long term solution. Short term use is mainly prescribed post-op to relieve temporary inflammation.

In the United States, Rimadyl (Carprofen) is available in 25, 75, and 100mg tablets, liver flavored or non. It's easier for the dog owner to use Pfizer's Rimadyl only because of the taste. Most patients will eat it as if it's a dog treat because of the taste. You need to ask your dog vet about dosage which varies according to the dog's weight.

The most effective way to administer Carprofen, in the long term, is in two doses, a morning one and an evening one.

Dangers Associated With Rimadyl

For long-term use, Rimadyl has been associated with liver and kidney problems, and even gastritis and ulcers, that's why if your dog is going to be prescribed this drug, he/she needs frequent evaluations and blood work done at your vet's office. Other side effects, include loss of appetite, vomiting, and wobbling. If your dog is just getting started on Rimadyl (Carprofen) you must keep a watchful eye and contact your vet if you notice: vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, increase in water consumption, seizures, increase in urination, drowsiness, skin changes, and behavior  changes (energy level, aggression)

Other names for  Rinadyl/ cheaper solutions

 

If you own a small dog, and you are a responsible owner, you may want to opt for buying larger pills that you cut down to the proper size. No vet will recommend that, so you have to be careful. As for glucosamine for dogs, fish oil for dogs, and chondroitin, you should know that they are not alternatives. These are supplements. They do help boosts your dog's system, but they are not drugs therefore they only compliment the use of Carprofen, they don't replace it. You can always opt to purchase a senior dog food that has those supplements in its formula.
If you are going to be using the drug long-term, there are other names, including the generic Carprofen, you should look up. They do the same job and cost a lot less. Other names include: Novox, Vetprofen, and Care-O-Pet that are available in caplets or chewable. The savings are significant. Another way to save money is not to buy it from your vet. There are companies (such as 1800petmeds.com) that offer great deals over the Internet. Do your research.

When shopping around, I recommend you look up Carprofen, a term few dog owners know.

Cats and Dogs Video

Who would have thought we could socialize seven cats and four dogs so soon? None of us believed it until it came true. The latest cat rescue project is working out beautifully at last. The semi-feral momma cat and her three kittens have gotten the run of the house and the outdoor cat enclosure. Sure, there are some brawls, tons of hissing, but overall we all get along not like cats and dogs, but like a big family. Each one of us is a rescue and we're all grateful to have a forever home. Rescue dogs and cats under one roof provide endless hours of entertainment, so I made yet another video to share. This video's guest star is no other but the infamous chiweenie, Frankie!

After a barrage of cat and dog pictures, it's time for the movie!







Kittehs and puppies, aw!
