Because I work with animals from a holistic care standpoint, I am not
a member of any general animal health care lists. However, I will provide
information about such lists as I learn of them. Please also see the Chat
Lists on the Holistic Care page.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/caninearthritis/ Canine Arthritis
support group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/doghealth2/ "Doghealth2 contains
an exchange of information pertaining to dog health (both in pure breed and
mixed breed canines of all ages), primarily regarding the use of drugs that
can or have caused illness and/or death in dogs. The focus is presently on the
drug Rimadyl (carprofen). However, all issues regarding dogs' health can be
addressed at this site. Do you have a dog a dog with arthritis, orthopedic
problems? Your Veterinarian may not be aware of the potential serious adverse
side effects of Rimadyl. Many Veterinary clinics prescribe it for
postoperative pain, etc. There may be safer alternatives."
Following are chatlists which deal with
various types of behavioral issues. I am not a member of any of these lists,
but offer them for your information and review.
Behavioral Issues.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canineaggression/ This list deals with
aggression issues only, not general training.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shy-k9s/ "The shy-k9s mailing list is for
the discussion of shy, fearful and/or fear-aggressive dogs and positive
solutions to their problems. Topics that come up frequently are genetic
factors, fear periods, the pros and cons of various training and management
methods (in general as well as in the context of specific cases), identifying
and interpreting certain behaviors, understanding thresholds and their
significance to rehabilitation, building confidence and resilience, the
fallacy that "comforting" shy dogs reinforces fear and the fallout of
punishment as a teaching tool. We also discuss books, videos, seminars, food
plans, and herbal and pharmacological treatments that may be helpful in
modifying unwanted behavior. You are welcome to join this list if you are an
owner, trainer, behaviorist, or rescue or shelter worker dealing with these
traits in dogs, and are strongly encouraged to contribute your experiences,
whether with your own dog or in a professional capacity."
