Did you know that… “Heart disease in dogs” is mostly a chronic condition that requires long-term care? But how can we help them live longer with us? First, let's understand the disease, how to closely monitor symptoms, and how to adjust our care habits appropriately. Heart disease in dogs is a condition where the heart is not functioning efficiently (mostly due to leaky heart valves or age-related heart muscle degeneration). When the heart weakens, it can't pump blood to the body and lungs as effectively as before, resulting in symptoms such as easy fatigue, coughing, and shortness of breath in the sun. Common heart diseases in dogs, especially older dogs or certain breeds, can be broadly categorized as follows: Valvular degeneration (common in small breeds), Myocardial degeneration…
What is cryptorchidism? Cryptorchidism is a common abnormality in male dogs and cats, but it's not normal. It requires surgical removal; it shouldn't be kept. How do you know if your dog's testicle is missing? In the case of Chocolate Chip, our handsome French Bulldog, his owner noticed he only had one testicle and brought him to Taling Chan Animal Hospital. Dr. Ae (Dr. Wichayaporn Athikanon) used an ultrasound to locate the missing testicle, which was found hidden in the groin. This condition, where the testicle isn't in the scrotum, is called cryptorchidism...

Despite having undergone hip replacement surgery previously, Tora, a Shiba Inu, has continued to experience leg pain for the past year. Before treatment at Taling Chan Animal Hospital, Tora, a 2-year-old Shiba Inu, was unable to put weight on his hind leg, even after a previous hip replacement surgery elsewhere and consistent physical therapy. The owner consulted with Dr. Tang, who concluded that surgery was needed to remove the old hip replacement. What happened to the hip replacement Tora had? During the surgery, Dr. Tang discovered the cause of Tora's chronic pain: a loose material – the metal stem in the femur had dislocated from its original position…
Why do dogs that used to potty in the right place suddenly start urinating everywhere? This is a problem many owners face. Inappropriate urination is more than just a matter of "bad habit"; it's a clear warning sign that something "wrong" is happening to your dog. This could be physical pain they can't express or accumulated stress. But don't panic, because everything can be fixed. First, let's explore the real causes of this inappropriate behavior so we can address the problem correctly. Health Causes: If your dog, who has always been a potty trainer, suddenly changes their behavior… don't scold or punish them.

First, let’s get to know what copper testicles are. Copper testicles are abnormalities in the testicles that do not descend into the scrotum. They can occur on one or both sides, causing them to remain in the groin or abdomen. They can occur in both male dogs and cats. Dog breeds that are at risk of copper testicles include Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, and Schnauzers. Cat breeds that are at risk of copper testicles include Persians and Ragdolls. The cause of copper testicles is a genetic disorder that is passed on as a recessive gene to the offspring. We can clearly observe this abnormality when the dog reaches the age of…
During the New Year festival, everyone plans to travel for vacation or count down to various places. However, for parents who have pets, they may not be able to do so because of concerns about whether their pets can be left alone or not.

And wouldn't it be better if we had a good way to prepare ourselves before going on a long trip so that our pets can live a normal life without worry?
