Canine brain tumors

CANINE BRAIN TUMORS What are brain tumors? Primary brain tumors are relatively uncommon in dogs. Gliomas and meningiomas are most common. They occur most frequently in older dogs (over 5 years) with no breed or sex predilection. The most common secondary tumors in dogs include local extension of nasal tumors, metastases from mammary, prostatic or lung carcinoma and hemangiosarc

17 baby related illnesses

17 Baby Related Illnesses While many parents are familiar with the 30 Critical Illnesses, many are not aware that their child must be protected with the 17 Child Related Illnesses as well. In the unfortunate event of your child’s changing health needs, you want to know that you can concentrate on being the centre of your child’s world, without worrying about how you will manage financially
