Here’s my story...
We lost our beloved pug to cancer three months ago. I just applied to adopt through a pug rescue group. I had what was essentially a phone interview, filled out an application, got two glowing references from two non-family members, a great reference from my vet, and then a...
We lost our beloved pug Daisy to cancer on Tuesday, April 24th. She was three months shy of her 17th birthday, and I had had her since she was less than 10 weeks old.
Rowan was wheezing Friday morning. Because of her months-long battle with pneumonia last year, I immediately made an appointment with the vet for Saturday.
Rowan hadn't gained any weight over the past month and was dehydrated enough that the vet couldn't get blood. The vet started her on...
I took Rowan in for his annual checkup. His blood test showed a high white blood cell count, so I brought him back for antibiotic injections. After he got the shot, I was taking him home and had to stop somewhere. So I took him outside. He was gasping and breathing hard, and his eyes were...
My little Cherryhead Rowan just turned two. Recently, he's become much more boisterous in that he is knocking over his little trees and pushing his cave and pier around in his enclosure. Is this a sign of his maturing or is he just being a brat?
I was getting Rowan out of his habitat and found him like this. Could he be snorting coke or maybe he just climbed over his calcium block?
Sorry for posting three times. It gave me error messages.
My Rowan seems to have an aversion to anything green except okra, nopales, and the rare weed. His vet says he needs more greens. While I will continue to offer him leafy items, will the nopales help to make up for his not eating greens?

I was reading about okra and that it was a good source of both calcium and vitamin A. Unfortunately, it's also high in oxalates which bind with calcium. My question is this: is the calcium content high enough that there's still calcium left after the binding? Or is the oxalate effect so bad...
I just took my tortoise to Chastain Veterinary in McKinney. They were great. Dr Chastain really examined Rowan and was very knowledgeable about torts. Super happy with my visit.
I have a Cherryhead hatchling whose growth has slowed down significantly since the onset of cold weather. The little thing doesn't seem to eat as much, and I was wondering if it might be because I can't take him outside regularly. Rowan hasn't lost weight and is quite active on those days when...
