WebMD for Dogs
DoggedHealth helps pet lovers diagnose canine health problems.
If you’re like me, there are certain websites that you don’t know how you ever lived without. One of the first that comes to mind is the popular medical diagnostic site, WebMD. Finally, a similar resource has been created for canines. Earlier this year, DoggedHealth debuted the Diagnostic Dog as an information resource to empower pet lovers to make educated healthcare decisions for their four-legged family members. Users can click on a map of the canine body to access articles about related health problems. All content is written by a veterinarian or a dog trainer, depending on the topic. I’m looking forward to being able to refine searches by symptom (a WebMD feature), which DoggedHealth is in the process of developing. Diagnostic Dog certainly won’t replace my veterinarian, but it’s a great resource for increasing my knowledge before I step into the office. Of course like WebMD, Diagnostic Dog has the potential to make worried pet parents a bit paranoid, but it’s comforting to know that a wealth of information is only a few clicks away. What are your favorite canine-related websites? |

Looking for help with my sick dog and this page came up totally useless. Thanks for wasting our time.
My dog has been vomiting quite excessively for the entire day. She has also been drinking A TON of water, can't seem to get enough of it. But when she vomits, she obviously continues to throw it back up. She wont eat and I just recently noticed her having very bad diarrhea. She shakes like crazy. I can imagine that she is dehydrated, but I don't know how to make her feel better. This has happened before within the past couple months. What could be wrong? Anyone with ideas?
anti freeze from a ar can make your dog really ill. call your vet
Now there is a WebMD for dogs.
It's from WebMD and called Healthy Pets.

Enjoy!
While it is nice, I suppose, to have everything gathered in one spot, just like the WebMD for people in which it seems every other sentence is "check with your doctor", this website constantly harps on "check with your vet." Example: under category "lumps and bumps" there isn't any real information, simply a topical description that "it can be anything" from bumping the furniture to cancer" followed by the advice to check with your vet. I found the website to be unsatisfactory for my use but then I'm a fairly sophisticated researcher on animal health issues and have more, ah, "forthcoming" favorite research sites. Thank you for posting the information about the website, though.
I've been on this site many times, it's terrific and so helpful
