    HELP ME :) I need PT/ ear infection videos and pictures.

    I need videos and pictures of rats with PT and ear infections for a little project I'm doing. I'm trying to teach my colleagues how to identify and differentiate the two when they arrive at the shelter so they can get immediate care and we can know what we're dealing with right away without me...

    Pet Food Recalls Database

    The American Veterinary Medical Association has a database of pet food recalls. I assume it's only for foods sold in the US (so any sold only in Canada or elsewhere would not be listed) but many foods are sold worldwide so it's very useful even if not complete. There are 3 filters - Cat, Dog and...

    Wart like lump on the side of mouth

    I went to feed and medicate the rats tonight and I noticed Ralph had something on the side of his mouth. At first I thought he was being a weirdo again and walking around with food in his mouth or that he had food stuck to his fur but when I picked him up to check it out, I discovered it was a...

    Ralph - hydrocephalus?

    Ralph is one of my two rescued lab rats. They were 'extras' at a local vet tech program and were going to be euthanized but one of the students worked hard to get them surrendered to the SPCA. I adopted two, I wish I could have taken more but I just didn't have the space or money at the time...

    Montreal to Green Mountains VT

    The SPCA recently took in many, many guinea pigs and we are trying to get some of them to rescues in the states that have offered to help. We really need someone reliable with a driver's license and a passport that is able to drive them to Vermont, preferably in the next few weeks. We can...

    Free image hosting with unlimited storage?

    I recently discovered Gmail had a storage limit (for some reason I thought they didn't) and I'm trying to figure out a way to store all of the pics of animals that come through the shelter without uploading them onto my hard drive. I thought maybe if we opened up a PB account that would work...

    Looking for a template for ramp covers for CNs

    Does anyone have a template for fleece covered for CN ramps? I have a boy that I've always joked is 'special' but I'm actually starting to suspect he legitimately does have some neuro/cognitive deficits. Anyway, he's generally ok but he falls a lot, in ways you wouldn't imagine were possible...

    Another nut job spreading misinformation >(

    I came across this video this morning and I couldn't believe it. There's just so much wrong with the clips... [BBvideo 450,375:24ow359s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bUbauza6-8&feature=youtu.be[/BBvideo:24ow359s] I did some research and it seems he STILL has a show on the Hallmark Channel...

    Bunny ears for rats? PICS ADDED FOR NANCY

    My vet is having a contest to find 'the cutest bunny pic' for his graphic designer to use in his new clinic's logo. I sent in a bunch of bunny pics already but then I thought it'd be funny to send pics of some of my rats dressed as bunnies. I have two huge albino boys I think would be a riot...

She wants to spread the word that she started a new group, Rats Are Awesome, with the intention of picking up where the RS FB group leaves off when it goes offline in a week. Anyone that's interested...

    Alex - (soon to be) neutered male avail for adoption MTL/TO

    I was contacted about this sweet boy by a friend of mine. He was used as a breeder in a former life so he is not used to being handled but he's a very nice boy nonetheless. She had her hands full with her own animals but would like him to find a great home. She's even willing to have him...
