Hello, I recently noticed a growth on the outside surface of my bullie's vagina. It is about the same color of her skin and is not irritated at all. The only thing I've seen her do is drag her butt around the carpet. She eats, sleeps, poops, just fine and have not noticed any abnormal behavior...

For about a month now Belle has been shedding like crazy. Before this she rarely dropped any hair so this has been a big change. I'm assuming it's from the season change?? She has been itching a good bit more and today I noticed two tiny spots on her coat where the hair is thin. The skin is not...

Update from Chubbs’ foster momma: Chubbs has been with me for almost a week and each day, as he becomes more comfortable, more of his personality comes through. He loves his crate so much that he often doesn’t want to come out. He feels very secure there. He will stand by the door or bark at...

Does anyone know how much does he charge for skin scrape & heartworm test? He isn't Brett's vet but he lives an hour away from me and it's just a hassle. And I know first time visit to Butchko is cash only. Thank you

Hi- I let Cricket out last night at about 9:30. She was in the back yard for maybe 10 minutes. When she came back in, she had about eight mosquito bite sized lumps all over her back and on her legs (none on her belly, paws, or chest. I even checked in her mouth- no welts in her mouth). The...
