SEIZURING 4-MONTH OLD PUPPY
"We brought him to a neuro-specialist, who informed us it is very
rare for a puppy to have epileptic seizures. Only dogs between ages
of 1 and 6 usually have them, he told us. His response is to have
an MRI, spinal tap, and more bloodwork done, followed possibly by
surgery. Has anyone had any similar experience. I have heard rumors
that the Eukanuba may be involved. Can anyone help????" MPL0014

VOLUNTEERING AT VET OFFICES
"I found that having my own insurance through my full time job helped
convince smaller vets to take me as a volunteer. Also, larger vet
hospitals or VCA (chain) type vets are more likely to accept volunteers.
It all hinges on being able to convince them you will not be a liability.
Be willing to sign a waiver, and prove your own insurance. That way if
something happens while you are volunteering for them, they won't be
hung out to dry." ROTTZILLA
