Tramadol
Tramadol can be used for pain relief in both dogs and cats. (Most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are dangerous for feline use, so this provides a nice choice for cats with chronic pain issues.)
Time Again for Your Pet's Annual Neck Check
It's time for the annual New Year's neck check. I started pushing for this tradition years ago, and I still believe it's as important as ever. Checking your pet's collar and tags annually will ensure that an important safety measure is in place should you and your pet ever need it.
Viral Papillomas of Dogs
Most everyone knows that dogs get warts, but did you know that some of these warts are infectious? Find out what they are and how to deal with them.
Nosebleed
If the nose is bleeding profusely and/or the bleeding lasts more than 5 minutes, seek veterinary attention.
In Praise of Poodles
"How about a poodle?" I say. If the person who's asking is a man, chances are he'll make a disapproving face and tell me he was thinking of something more along the lines of a Labrador. If the person's a woman, I can put money on the prospect that she'll tell me her husband will never, ever go for a poodle. I shrug, and think for the millionth time that what poodles need is a public-relations campaign. An image makeover, at the very least.

Seasonal Safety
Some people seem to have bad luck over the holidays, and I have traditionally been one of them. I've filled the house with smoke from a poorly laid fire in the fireplace just before guests arrived for dinner, and I've tripped over a sleeping dog on Christmas morning and ended up in the emergency room (the dog was fine; I went home with a cast). But that's nothing compared to the disasters that seem to dog the pets in our family over the years. I've spent good parts of many holidays in after-hours veterinary clinics, and a few times those trips were for problems that could have been prevented.
