WHAT’S NEW ON OUR WEB SITE (since last month)

    IMMUNE MEDIATED PLATELET DESTRUCTION
    The immune system guards us against invaders but sometimes it gets confused and attacks one’s own cells. Platelets are blood cells involved in blood clotting and can be victims of this phenomenon. Read on for more details on the newest page in The Pet Web Library.

    SNAIL BAIT POISONING
    Many gardens have snail problems in the Springtime and many gardens have pets. Snail Bait poisoning is the most common intoxication in California for dogs, largely because snail bait is commonly pelleted and flavored. Our hospital strongly discourages the use of metaldehyde based snail control products as they have tremendous potential to do damage. For more information read one of the newest pages in The Pet Web Library.

    DEMODECTIC MANGE IN THE CAT
    Demodectic mange is very common in dogs but fairly rare in the cat. We’ve added a new page linked to our main (canine) Demodectic Mange page just about it’s feline form, where you can learn more about it.

    ANIMAL TRAINERS IN LOS ANGELES (A NEW LIST)
    Dog training companies and behavior management experts come by our hospital on a regular basis and want to leave business cards or other advertising materials with us. We rarely accept these offers as we feel that our clients assume we are endorsing these groups when in fact we do not have experience with most of them. Still, we need to start somewhere when our clients need a behavior expert or even a simple puppy socialization trainer. We have collected this list of trainers and behaviorists.
