A better place to ask your pet related questions is in PetWave.com’s discussion forum, http://www.petw.../Community.aspx.

http://www.Petwave.com is a great resource for finding all your dog breed, dog health, and dog care questions. They also have great information on cat breeds, and cat health.

It’s funny, but it seems this page has become a “webmd for pets” with all the questions and comments.

What a great way of promoting of your own site, Nickolas Anthony Solaro! Anyway, congratulations. I wish I was able to think of a good website to collect loads of advertising revenue.

my cat has not been eating for two week to a month. We got her from the humane society and she had stilborns then 2 days later she got spaid. We bought her two days after that and she came home ate fine. I slowely swtched her food to another brand and she ate it for a few days and then stopped eating period. I tried tuna fish, bowl of milk, and a seringe of milk which she had no choice but to swallow. But other than that she won’t eat. She is so skinny I feel like I am picking up skin and bones. I have no money to take her in unless I can make payments and so far that is no good on the places I called. What should I do?

Hi,
Our Rottie Lulu is pregnant and we’re concerned because she is scratching so much it’s creating bald spots. Is this from the Hormones and is there something we can do to help?
Thanks

if it’s soft and moveable, attached to the skin and not underlying tissue it could be a lipoma, basically a fatty lump, an aspiration biopsy and slide could dx this; these are harmless and comon to many breeds (both of my Labs had many); if the lumps are harder, fixed to underlying tissue go to your vet asap, if lumps are painful to your pet go to vet asap as wellas well

I’ve really enjoyed WebVet.com. I am very attentive to my parrot Sam, and the website gives me great tips and rules to help keep him healthy. WebVet is also doing a contest for the most talented bird which I will be entering Sam in!!

I noticed Organizedwisdom.com (@ front of article) is not limited to human health, because they created a number of animal health wisdom cards. Not sure about the others

yeah, beyond saying “he’s coughing …or vomiting” you can’t really self diagnose a pet. Many times they go untreated because the owners can’t even tell there’s something wrong.

What’s interesting is how the health industry economy is changing, to comply with the Web 2.0 we’ve all have gotten used to. For human health, it started a while back but sites like this help bring our unheard friends up to date.

the big Q is are we going to see as many social networks for pets now??
i can already see a bunch of dogs giving each other hugs, a group of street cats going on a diet together…

I looked at your site and it broke my heart. I commend you for your dedication and implore other readers to visit. I do however see the need for a site like webvet to exist alongside your own. The community needs dedicated sites like yours as well as a broader-scoped site that conveys respected, veterinary approved material about ALL pets.

From the time I’ve spent on the site in the last hour, I do not see only vague articles written by one single vet, but the start of a reliable source of certified material (by a coalition of credited veterinarians). Not once did I see an ad on their site or any other biased solicitations, simply information that you would find at your local vet’s office pertaining to your specific pet. Most importantly, I do not believe that the ONLY site ever endorsed by the AAHA thus far would have any relation to ’snake oil salespeople’.

I think we all need to understand that this is the best site to come yet in terms of overall pet well-being and owner awareness…and it’s only in it’s first day. I for one will come back and I am excited that the animal community has webvet.

I have a free Website for special needs dog owners that links to reliable, reputable vet information, not just one vague article written from one vet’s point of view. The Web is chock full of good information, you just need to know how to weed out the snake oil salespeople and find good information, which is what Gimpydogs does. Not only do we provide links to holistic and alternative treatments, but we also provide links to support groups and have our own support group, we also list rescue groups that adopt out special needs dogs, and highlight special needs cases that need funds for surgeries or treatments. All free and no ads.

As a self-proclaimed crazy dog owner, I think this is a great idea. I also use the medical forums on MedHelp (www.medhelp.org/pets) to get answers from other dog owners or their vets. I like the idea of having this more editorial content from WebVet, but also being able to get an answer to MY specific question from MedHelp.

I just saw their breed pages – very cool. And the lifestyle stuff will keep people coming back – they’ve got room to grow, but I’d say a good start.

…but they thought it newsworthy enough to pick up. And they could have not run the whole release if they didn’t feel it worthy.
