Hi LaDawn,

Have you taken a look down her throat just to see if there's anything
obvious? What did you feed before this? It could be just as you
suspect--something irritated her throat going down and it just needs to
heal. Hope she's doing better tomorrow.

Hi LaDawn, shortly after we brought our little guy home from the shelter, he developed
what we think was kennel cough. He was having retching attacks, and the first time he did
it, I thought he was choking. His energy and playfulness went way, way down. A day later,
he woke up with lots of mucous coming out of his nose.

We ended up taking him into the vet, as part of our contract with the shelter to see a vet
within 7 days of bringing him home. She said he was running a slight fever, and it sure
sounded like kennel cough.

I hope your dog feels better soon!

**** 'K, this is a nice website;

You can click on each bone and a window pops up and tells you what it is.

So-- The knuckle is a joint between what and what? The joint
between some bone and the femur, then the femur and some bone. What
bones are these that the femur is attached to at top and bottom that
produces two (count 'em two) similar joints?

**** The knuckles are part of the femur, which is above the knee and
connects with the hip. Altho', from the looks of some of the links I posted
before of the raw and cooked bones, sometimes the tibia is sold, too. That
would be the bone below the knee and above the hock, seemingly with only one
knuckle and a tapering other end. ****

<snip>
Are you saying the
knuckle bone is the hock? If the hock is one of the joints (the
lower one perhaps) what is the upper joint? Or is the hock the
upper point and the pastern is the lower joint?

I still don't get it.
This might be a good example of why knowing the name for everything
is more effort than it's worth.

**** Nope, the tibia is above the hock, and the femur is above the tibia -
when they meet, that forms the knee joint. The hock is below the tapered
part of the tibia - and is not a simple joint, like the knee - there are
several bones which join together to make this joint. What they are called,
I don't know, as this site doesn't show them.

Hmm, there's one for pigs, too;
