A little ten month old Golden Retriever named Abby had put her owner Shana Brooks and a Vet named Dr. Taylor Douglas though a little guessing game on why the dog was sick.
Well a couple of weeks earlier Shana had gone salmon fishing and at that time little Abby had gotten a taste of her own on a fish. That’s when Dr. Douglas thought that the dog had gotten salmon poisoning which would kill most dogs that go untreated.
Thankfully little Abby made it though and is doing good.
A Veterinarian for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife named Colin Gillin said: reports of salmon poisoning are infrequent. Its origin is in a bacterial organism called neorickettsia, which is carried by a specific parasite called a fluke that thrives in the waterways of the western Pacific Northwest. But here's the bad news: Salmon poisoning is specific to one region, and that region happens to be west of the Cascade Range in Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia.

Why Would Anyone Do This To A Dog
A poor little dog they call Mary was found by an employee of a local animal shelter called Sun Valley Animal Shelter scratching at her door. You have to wonder how this dog knew what door to go to. The poor dog had a broken jaw and will need surgery where one eye was missing.
So who would just dump a poor little dog like that and not even care enough to get her some help. Who ever owned this dog is one heartless person if you ask me. I only hope that they are found and prosecuted to the fullest for what they did to this dog.
Thanks to the loving care that Mary will be getting from Dr. Amy Schomburg and her staff she will be able to recover from her injuries and get a loving home.

New Alternative Medicine Directory For Animal's
Animal Chiropractor Launches New Animal Alternative Medicine Directory
Pet lovers who have been searching fruitlessly for information on holistic practitioners and natural products for animals need search no longer.
The creator of naturallycomplementary.com has launched a new animal alternative medicine directory which provides details of practitioners, schools, training courses, events, associations, and products.
Gina McCulloch D.C. founder of naturallycomplementary.com
The site links to everything from Acupressure For Animals to Vibrational Medicine For Animals.
The directory is designed to be comprehensive, easy to navigate, and importantly, contains independent and unbiased reviews of products and services.
The site was created by Gina McCulloch D.C., animal lover and alternative medicine practitioner for animals.
McCulloch has a first class degree in Chiropractic from Oxford Brookes University in the UK and has studied animal-specific natural and alternative medicine all over the world, including courses in massage, reiki, and other specialties. She is also a certified Equine Body Worker.
When she moved from the UK to Australia, Gina also flew over her horse, cat and dog. She used a combination of chiropractic, reiki and flower essences to ensure all her pets arrived in top health.
"People often ask me what types of alternative medicines are available for animals and whether they would work for their pet. They want to know which animal practitioners are the best and which are best avoided; which products work and where they can buy them. Many pet owners and professionals are keen to learn more and take courses but are not sure where they can train," McCulloch explained.
"I realized there was nowhere people could easily find answers to all these questions. I developed naturallycomplementary.com so pet owners and professionals would be able to access all the information they could ever need in one convenient site and the independent consumer reviews would enable them to make better informed decisions."
The site serves as a gathering place and forum where like-minded pet lovers and professionals can exchange information and access resources.
Business owners can also benefit from using the site. The naturallycomplementary.com directory is a cost effective and targeted way for business owners, practitioners and schools to reach a large and loyal audience actively seeking out their types of products and services.
Those interested in learning more may visit the naturallycomplementary.com directory or view a video tour of the site.

I Think That I’m A Dog
Photo by the Fremont Animal Clinic
That must have been what this poor dog was thinking. By the looks you would have never know there was a dog in there.
The St. Anthony, ID Police received a call saying that someone had seen an unknown species in a backyard. At first I didn’t know what it was either.
The poor dog was taken to the Fremont Animal Clinic where they cut off some nine pounds of hair to show what the real dog looks like at eleven pounds. I’ll bet that little guy was a happy camper after that hair cut.
