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

LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
There are many types of leukemia (blood cancers) and the lymphocytic leukemias are the most common. There are two types of lymphocytic leukemia with two completely different outcomes and treatments. If you want to understand the diagnosis of lymphocytic leukemia, read this article in The Pet Web Library.

ETODOLAC
Etodolac, released in 1998 to the veterinary market, is an important non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for dogs. Like other NSAIDs, it has potential side effects that need to be monitored. Learn about them, as well as this drug’s background, how it is used, interactions with other drugs and concerns and cautions in this newest page of The Pharmacy Center.

TETANUS IN PETS
We have all heard of about getting tetanus shots and being careful about rusty nails, but most people do not really know much about tetanus (also called "lock-jaw"). In fact, pets are fairly resistant to infection (which is why tetanus shots are not included in the standard vaccine series). So what should a dog owner know about tetanus? Visit this page in The Pet Web Library to find out.
