The UCLA camp was started the summer of 2005 and has been growing ever since. It now serves approximately 100 campers led by 55 counselors. Help us continue to grow.
SAVING ANIMALS SAVED MY LIFE Catherine has been saving animals lives for more than 10 years. Even after her diagnosis of breast cancer she continues to save them. The animals gave her a reason to live — knowing that although in her career she had already saved nearly 4000 animals there were plenty more to save out there, every day. Please visit her website, www.dontbullymybreed.org, for more information about the work she’s done and continues to do. She would like to thank Wedrose Acres, a natural sanctuary and shelter for wildlife and pets, for allowing her to film in their stables. Please visit them at www.wedroseacres.org. My name is Kerry, and I’m a 16-year-old filmmaker. My family met Catherine when we adopted a puppy that she rescued. I feel privileged to have filmed her story. Thanks Catherine for all you do. Thanks to Tom, for help with the music, and Grant, for help with fixing the sound. And thanks to www.livestrong.com for helping to educate and convince people to better their lives.
Question by kevus: Can a dog still have lyme disease after the month of treatment?
I took my dog (about 12 years old) in for an ear infection, and since we had recently lost a dog to lymes, I had them do the 3D test for safety sake. It came back positive for lymes.
Her lymph nodes were swollen slightly, which they said could be an early sign of lymphoma, but more likely was a result of the dual infections of lymes and yeast infection of ears.
We are now at the end of 1 month of antibiotics for the lymes (doxycycline hyclate 150mg twice daily) and a month of antibiotic medicine for the ears (not sure exactly what).
Today when she got up she was super stiff and could barely move. Her lymph nodes are still swollen. After she walked around for a while she seemed to get less stiff and was running normally, but was still limping on her back left leg. Her breathing seems a little heavy, although not labored, and I’m sure its because of the swollen lymph nodes in her neck.
You can feel the lymph nodes in her neck, although they are not as large as they were at the beginning of her treatment. The lymph nodes at the back legs are pretty swollen but I’m not sure if they are as big or the same size.
My question is, could the treatment for lymes just not have worked? Do I need to have the vet try a different or stronger antibiotic? Is there something that works better than what I was given?
I really hate that this happened today, a 3 day labor day weekend. If it had happened yesterday I would have rushed her in, now I have to wait til Tuesday. My normal vet does not offer emergency services. If her symptoms get any worse I could take her in for emergency treatment at another vet but I’m waiting to see.
One other item of note, there is no loss of appetite. She is eating and drinking normally.
Thanks for your support and ideas and help!
She is also going to the bathroom normally. No vomiting or diahhrea.

Question by desperatedesirex3: I’m having my dog spayed and i’m really nervous I read this on a website and wondered if ANY of it is true..?
On the negative side, spaying female dogs
• if done before 1 year of age, significantly increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer); this is a
common cancer in larger breeds with a poor prognosis
• increases the risk of splenic hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 2.2 and cardiac hemangiosarcoma by
a factor of >5; this is a common cancer and major cause of death in some breeds
• triples the risk of hypothyroidism
• increases the risk of obesity by a factor of 1.6-2, a common health problem in dogs with many
associated health problems
• causes urinary “spay incontinence” in 4-20% of female dogs
• increases the risk of persistent or recurring urinary tract infections by a factor of 3-4
• increases the risk of recessed vulva, vaginal dermatitis, and vaginitis, especially for female dogs
spayed before puberty
• doubles the small risk (<1%) of urinary tract tumors
• increases the risk of orthopedic disorders
• increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations
Best answer:
Answer by Gregory Any medical procedure carries inherent risk. Talk to your veterinarian about your concerns. If you do not spay your dog you invite a flurry of other problems such as, menstral bleeding, unwanted (and even agressive) behavior, and the risk of unwanted litters, as well as inviting stray and potentially dangerous dogs to stalk your property in search of a mate.

Question by Eddie: My dog has breast cancer and a tumor, is it worth getting the surgery?
She’s 9 years old and it’ll cost $ 350-450 to get it taken care of. Even if she gets the surgery the cancer may or may not come back. She’s a dachshund and dachshunds generally live anywhere between 12-15 years. Do you think its worth getting the surgery? If so why?
Thanks, Eddie
Best answer:
Answer by Zoe IF you really love your dog, I would get the surgery.

Question by nicole e: can a vet determine cancer from drawing blood from a dogs belly?
our dog has had a cough and antibiotics haven’t worked. the vet noticed his belly was distended and did an ultrasound which revealed fliud. Turns out the fluid was blood. From this she diagnosed cancer with no lab tests. She suggested treating it or putting him down TODAY. He is 13 so his prognosis isn’t good.He’s acting normal and doesn’t seem to be in pain.

Daddy, Cesars longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the 19th of February. He was sixteen years old. He lived each day of those sixteen years happy and fulfilled as Cesars right-hand-man, helping to shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. He stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He successfully battled cancer and weathered chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards! His name is now added to that honorable roster of dogs gone by whose influence is still felt today, and which includes some of Cesars beloved childhood heroes: “Rin-Tin-Tin.” “Lassie.” “Daddy.” He has been immortalized by Dog Whisperer fans in all mediums, from painting, to photographs, to charcoal drawings and papier-mâché sculpture. And, of course, he lives on in his work, reflected in the balance and calm-submission of his protégé Junior, the countless animals to whom he was a positive role model, and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him as a calm, sweet, and … Video Rating: 4 / 5
Question by JKid: how do they drain it?
i have osteosarcoma with mets and sometimes when i breathe it makes a rattling sound like water and my nurse said they might drain it tomorrow. how do they do that? will it hurt?
Best answer:
Answer by onlyiuknow Osteoscaroma sounds like you have bone cancer. You have fluid around your lungs? The first step would be for the dr. to deadend where he is going to make an incision. After he gets it numb he will put a drainage tube in to drain some of the fluids..
My prayers are with you!!!!
