Health topics
- Acupuncture for chronic pain in dogs Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free therapy that can help manage chronic pain in dogs. It is commonly used as part of a multimodal treatment plan for conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, and back pain. Many dogs experience improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and a better quality of life with regular acupuncture treatments.
- Bearded dragon husbandry Proper husbandry is the foundation of a healthy pet bearded dragon. Many of the medical problems veterinarians see — including weak legs, soft jaws, yellow fungus disease, and poor growth — are caused by incorrect diet, lighting, temperature, or enclosure setup.
- Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) in cats Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a highly contagious viral infection that affects cats. While rare in fully vaccinated pet cats, FPV remains a serious concern in shelters and multi-cat environments, where many cats are unvaccinated or recently rescued.
