Ginny-Puppy's Dog Journal: thiamine pupils staggering ataxia wobbling neck ventroflexion

About Me:

My real name is Virginia. That's because my dog-mom's master (mistress, really) thought that all my sisters and brothers should have names of states, whatever those are. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, because she always called my Ginny, or Ginny-Puppy. I am a German shepherd and I turned 3 years old on June 1, 2009. People say that I am beautiful, but how should I know?

My goal in life is to find a really good job. My partner (who is my female master) has been teaching me lots of things. I think my male master wants me to go to some beauty pageants, but my partner wants me to develop my mind. I like that. It's probably because my partner is a veterinarian and has done lots of work with dog behavior and training. Anyway, I like it when she teaches me stuff and we work together.

I started this journal because I want to be able to keep in touch with my friends, to tell them what's going on in my life when I can't be with them. I also want to be able to pass on to others all that I'm learning every day. I feel like I was put on this earth to help other people, so that's what I am going to do. Of course, my main job is to help my partner, but she wants to help other people, too.

Important Cat Food Recall

I know I'm not a cat, but my person has many cat friends, so I am passing this on.....
Certain lots of Premium Edge Cat Food have been recalled, due to a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine deficiency is treatable and reversible in cats, but can cause some alarming neurological signs, such as staggering and a strange flexing (downward) of the head and neck. Here is the recall notice from Diamond Pet Foods--http://www.premiumedgepetfood.com/promotions/66/
