NEWSLETTER SPOTLIGHT: DISEASES!

work busily continues! The entire Diseases and Conditions
section has been reorganized for easier access to the
information that you need. Diseases are cross-referenced
by common and medical names in the new A-Z index for dogs
and cats.

VETMED FORUM: LENGTH OF DOG'S FERTILE PERIOD
"Over how long a period can a bitch conceive?
i.e., if she has access to a dog the whole time
she is in heat, could she conceive three puppies
on one day and two puppies a few days later?"

PRE-VET FORUM: FAINT-HEARTED DOCTOR?
"I have worked at a vet hospital for a few months, and
I almost fainted one time when I was observing a minor
surgery on a dogs infected anal glands... pretty nasty.
I have always been the type who isn't squeamish at all,
but for some reason, this particular thing really got to
me. Luckily the doctor was very understanding, but I was
still a little embarrassed. I am wondering if this is
something that will pass, or if am I doomed to live a
life as a faint-hearted doctor!!" CHRISTIECAP1

FROM THE FORUM - CAT NUTRITION CONFUSION
"There is a lot of contradictory information on this subject.
One source says never give your cat dairy products because
their lactose-intolerant, than another source has recipes
that include dairy products. One source said never give your
cat pork, when another had a ham recipe. One source even said
never feed beef. Nearly all of them just say "never do ......"
without any explanation." LOVERIOT
