- [My bike trip through the Bordeaux wine country](https://docdavesvoice.com/my-bike-trip-through-the-bordeaux-wine-country/) - The adventure begins: The morning my Backroads bike tour of the Bordeaux wine region was to start I asked my hotel clerk to call me a taxi to take me to the train station. He looked incredulous explaining it was only a five-minute walk away. I was not going to drag my heavy suitcase, backpack,

It’s located in Cuernavaca. So, we took another bus trip, a little over two hours from our apartment, by Uber, to the bus terminal in the south of Mexico City, then by another very comfortable bus about an hour and a half, to
- [Sharon asks; “Why are raisins bad for dogs?”](https://docdavesvoice.com/sharon-asks-why-are-raisins-bad-for-dogs/) - Sharon, I am so pleased you asked this question. You gave me the opportunity to brag about the department I was honored to lead from 1995 to 2006. Faculty in the department Veterinary Biosciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign formed the original Animal Poison Control Center, long before I arrived. We were fortunate in
- [My dog goes ballistic from loud noises. What can I do?](https://docdavesvoice.com/my-dog-goes-ballistic-from-loud-noises-what-can-i-do/) - Not all dogs panic when they hear loud noises and there does not seem to be any particular breed predilection for this behavior. Two separate and distinct areas of the brain are responsible for sensing then responding to loud noises. Cells that sense loud noises respond by increasing their electrical activity sending strong signals to
- [Why do dogs and cats drink antifreeze and how does it kill them?](https://docdavesvoice.com/why-do-dogs-and-cats-drink-antifreeze-and-how-does-it-kill-them/) - This is one of the most common forms of poisoning seen in dogs and cats. It usually happens when the antifreeze drips from your vehicle’s radiator forming a puddle on the garage floor or driveway. The active ingredient in antifreeze is ethylene glycol a syrupy liquid that seems almost addictive to some pets. You must

Why is he doing this and is it a problem?](https://docdavesvoice.com/my-horse-grabs-his-stall-door-with-his-front-teeth-arches-his-neck-then-pulls-back-and-seems-to-suck-in-air-why-is-he-doing-this-and-is-it-a-problem/) - This behavior is known as “cribbing”. There is evidence that cribbing releases chemicals in the brain known as endorphins. Some horses learn to arch their neck and swallow air without needing to grasp an object with their teeth, but this is rare. Some horses will also get into a habit of chewing wood. Cribbing can
- [My mother’s Maine Coon cat has cardiomyopathy, what is that?](https://docdavesvoice.com/my-mothers-maine-coon-cat-has-cardiomyopathy-what-is-that/) - “Cardio” obviously pertains to the heart, “myo” pertains to muscle and “pathy” signifies pathology or abnormality. Therefore, cardiomyopathy is pathology or abnormality of the heart muscle. We describe two kinds of cardiomyopathy; hypertrophic and dilated. Both types occur because of genetic mutations in one or more of the various proteins that comprise the heart muscle.
- [Is it true that dogs can suffer from a ruptured intervertebral disc?](https://docdavesvoice.com/is-it-true-that-dogs-can-suffer-from-a-ruptured-intervertebral-disc/) - The intervertebral discs are structures located between the bodies of the vertebrae and act as shock absorbers. They are composed of a rim of tough, fibrous connective tissue covering surrounding a gel-like center. A Hansen Type I rupture occurs when the fibrous capsule breaks, allowing the inner nucleus to push out through the opening and

The disease is characterized by an abnormal gait in the front and/or the hind legs. The animal seems to “wobble” when walking or exercising. Some animals seem to have a stiff neck, may

Do dogs get skin cancer?](https://docdavesvoice.com/my-dog-has-some-lumps-on-her-skin-do-dogs-get-skin-cancer/) - Tumors of the skin are probably the most common tumors seen in dogs and can be of many different types. Those that originate in the epithelium, the outermost layer of the skin, include papillomas (warts), cornifying epitheliomas found within the layers of skin, various forms of follicle cell tumors, tumors of the sebaceous glands, tumors
- [How do I know if the dog food I’m feeding is what my dog needs?](https://docdavesvoice.com/how-do-i-know-if-the-dog-food-im-feeding-is-what-my-dog-needs/) - The Food and Drug Administration requires that all animal foods, the same as food for human consumption, be safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances and be labeled truthfully. For any pet food product to have the words “complete” and/or “balanced” printed anyplace on the package the claim must have been
- [What can cause a nose bleed in a dog or cat?](https://docdavesvoice.com/what-can-cause-a-nose-bleed-in-a-dog-or-cat/) - Epistaxis (bleeding from the nose) is more common in dogs than in cats, in my experience, probably because most cats are indoor pets these days. It can occur from one or both nostrils and can vary from slight bleeding that usually stops without treatment to profuse, possibly life threatening bleeding, that resists treatment. As with
- [Is it true that animals can be poisoned by eating chocolate?](https://docdavesvoice.com/is-it-true-that-animals-can-be-poisoned-by-eating-chocolate/) - Yes, well sort of, it depends, is that clear? Actually chocolate poisoning is not unusual in dogs, maybe because many dogs will eat almost anything. Cats are more discerning. I found one reported case of chocolate poisoning in a horse. That is weird because the toxic dose of chocolate is dependent on body weight. The
- [Is it true that flame retardant chemicals can be especially toxic to cats?](https://docdavesvoice.com/is-it-true-that-flame-retardant-chemicals-can-be-especially-toxic-to-cats/) - There is some evidence that Polybrominate Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) may be involved in hyperthyroidism in cats. Feline hyperthyroidism may be the most common endocrine disorder in cats. It is associated with benign tumor(s) of the thyroid gland and usually appears in middle-aged to older cats, without preference to breed or gender. The signs of hyperthyroidism

You can just clean these off with clean cotton swabs. If your dog’s eyes are red (inflamed) and/or have significant accumulations of yellowish
- [I was taught that “people food” is bad for dogs and cats, is this true?](https://docdavesvoice.com/i-was-taught-that-people-food-is-bad-for-dogs-and-cats-is-this-true/) - To answer this question let’s go back to a time when dogs and cats were first domesticated and there was no billion-dollar a year pet food industry. Those early canines and felines must have been useful to the societies that adopted them. Dogs ate garbage and provided an alarm system against invaders. Humans found them
- [This column is the first in a series of six with information about plants toxic to dogs, cats and horses.](https://docdavesvoice.com/this-column-is-the-first-in-a-series-of-six-with-information-about-plants-toxic-to-dogs-cats-and-horses/) - I found my kitten chewing on a houseplant, is this dangerous? Maybe, the most important aspect of potential poisoning, from any source, is dose. How much was the animal exposed to per pound of body weight? Kittens and puppies will chew on almost anything. Mainly because of their size, young animals are more susceptible to
- [Plants with saponins toxic to dogs, cats and horses](https://docdavesvoice.com/plants-with-saponins-toxic-to-dogs-cats-and-horses/) - In my last column, I discussed plants that contained calcium oxalates. This time I will cover plants with various saponins as the toxic component. Again, most animals will avoid these plants, but some hard heads can’t resist. Animals that ingest the fruits of these plants, usually berries, will demonstrate signs of gastric upset, vomiting, abdominal
- [Plants containing toxic alkaloids](https://docdavesvoice.com/plants-containing-toxic-alkaloids/) - The story continues. Just a reminder, the toxicity of any substance is dependent upon the dose, the greater exposure the greater the toxicity. If you suspect your pet has ingested any of these plants get him or her to your veterinarian as soon as possible. Plants belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae, the Kaffir Lily (Clivia
- [Unintended Consequences](https://docdavesvoice.com/travels-with-charlize-48-unintended-consequences/) - Lately I am beginning to think that Charlize is upset with me. I think she’s worried that something I wrote, information I believed would be helpful, is being used for nefarious purposes. Because the reach of the Internet is global the potential harm is spreading, and she’s worried about dogs and cats everywhere. Antifreeze poisoning
- [Plants Poisonous to Dogs, Cats and Horses, fourth in the series](https://docdavesvoice.com/plants-poisonous-to-dogs-cats-and-horses-fourth-in-the-series/) - Plants that contain glycosides can be very harmful to pets. If your pet ingests any of the plants mentioned in these columns and is showing signs of illness, get him/her to your veterinarian post haste. The most well known and classic of the cardiac glycoside plants is foxglove, Digitalis purpurea. We have known about the
- [More Poisonous Plants; fifth in the series](https://docdavesvoice.com/more-poisonous-plants-fifth-in-the-series/) - The deadly Sago Palm (Coontie Palm, Cardboard Palm, Cycads and Zamias) is extremely poisonous to animals and humans if ingested. Dogs and Cats are particularly at risk since they seem to find the plant very palatable. Clinical signs usually develop within twelve hours of ingesting the plant and may include signs of gastroenteritis, generalized weakness,
- [Laziness](https://docdavesvoice.com/travels-with-charlize-27-laziness/) - John Steinbeck, writing in “The Log from the Sea of Cortez” says; “Only in laziness can we achieve a state of contemplation which is a balancing of values, weighing of oneself against the world and the world against itself. A busy man cannot find time for such balancing.” Steinbeck suggests that lazy men (presumably mankind
- [Plants poisonous to dogs, cats and horses, last in the series](https://docdavesvoice.com/plants-poisonous-to-dogs-cats-and-horses-last-in-the-series/) - To recap, in the previous five columns we have listed many plants that contain toxins that could be injurious to your dog, cat or horse. Because of their size and propensity to chew almost anything kittens and puppies are at higher risk. Now I want to cover plants not previously classified. The Umbrella Leaf also
- [Dogs and Porcupines](https://docdavesvoice.com/dogs-and-porcupines/) - Screaming at a toddler not to touch something hot can be effective, sometimes, but not nearly as effective, long term, as allowing that curious mind to experience pain. The same is true of dogs, although they seem to have slightly more built-in survivorship skills than toddlers do, with one exception I can think of, dogs

Sweetness was a thirteen-year-old collie dying from chronic interstitial nephritis. Each time the Watkins family brought her in, I thought her long struggle was over. Mr. Watkins carried her in, struggling despite the fact she had been shedding pounds off her originally much too plump frame for the past several months.
