AFN National Chief Phil Fontaine makes a passionate address about the desperate situation of First Nations communities to the Canadian Club of Ottawa, May 15, 2007. Fontaine talks about the Conservative government reneging on the Kelowna Accord; 1100 outstanding land claims, and the attempts First Nations people have made to work with the Canadian government to resolve land claims and other issues. “How can we make this right for Canada? What can we do together to create the kind of country that we all deserve to live in?… Our people will simply no longer be put off… or dismissed as second-class citizens or an afterthought…. Canadians, we know, want these issues resolved fairly and justly.” “What did we do? What wrong did we do to Canadians? What harm did we inflict on people? What do they expect from us?… We’ve tried every approach, we’ve tried to do better, not just for First Nations people but for all Canadians.” (Part 3 of 4.)

Johnnie, a 10 year old female Bull Mastiff and American Staffordshire terrier mix has been a beloved member of our family since she was a nine week old puppy. Last July 2008, our vet shared with me that Johnnie had bone cancer and only had a few months to live. He even suggested that if she were to continue to suffer we should consider putting her down. That was NEVER an option for our family! She had stopped using her leg except to balance herself when she pottied (and even that looked miserable for her). She lost about 23 pounds and her leg looked completely atrophied. It was just skin on bone with no visible muscle mass at all. My family and I felt helpless and we were basically just trying to keep her happy until she died. On August 11th I left her with the care of the veterinary clinic and flew out to California to visit a physicist whom I learned was manufacturing a Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy device. Through my independent research to find alternative care for Johnnie I discovered that PEMF therapy had been used on equines for the past 20 years and that there was clinical research on PEMF therapy for treatment of cancer on humans so I was determined to see if this would help my loyal and beloved family companion. When I returned from my trip five days later I was eager to get started on treating Johnnie with the PEMF therapy machine. I began by placing one of the several attachments provided over her leg for three minutes while my wife struggled to …
Question by Blarp: Puppy has sterile abscess! Has your dog ever had one?
So on friday night about 10:30-11:00pm I noticed that my 7 month old australian shepherd had a lump under the skin. It was too late to call the vet to set up an appointment so I called first thing Saturday and went in later that day.
He biopsyed it (said it wasnt cancer or a tumor thank god!) and said he would culture it and call me back on Monday if he needed antibiotics. So he just called and said it is just a sterile abscess and should go away on its own in a few weeks, that there is no bacteria in it. If it doesnt just call him and he will check it again. (he said it was prolly from a bee sting, sliver or ingrown hair….)
Has your dog ever had one of these?? How long till it went away? Vet said if it doesnt go away on its own we might about getting it removed surgically but he thinks it should go away on its own and doesnt want to do that unless he has too.
On friday night it was soft and round like a marble, now it is flatter and more oval and hard…. (vet knows about change)
PLEASE DONT SAY TO CALL VET! I have already been in and he said to call back in 2-3 weeks if there is no change.
I am looking for personal experiences here.
mauve:
how long till it went away?
Ceasars mom:
what do you mean “Warm compresses”? the vet said to rub it every day and gently squeeze it… are you saying to do that with a warm wash clothe??
Best answer:
Answer by mauveme49 My std poodle got those between her toes. It was an ingrown hair, I would bathe it is warm salty water and it would go away on it’s own. She only had it twice then never again.
PLease read the poem anlong with the pictures and the song. I wrote it myself. Tory died last weekend of cancer and i really wanted to give her a nice memory. (the last pic is of her) Video Rating: 0 / 5
Question by Popotitozz R: I am very worried about my dog, her health is deteriorating fast?
My dog has had a limp for almost a year now. When we took her to the vet, they wrapped her leg for months but still persisted with the limp. Last time we took her, they x rayed her and they found a malformation in the bone, which could be cancer. After that happened I was distraught and didn’t take her to the vet again. She is 8 years old, a pitbull.
Now, she is overweight because she can’t get any exercise (her limp gets worse) and has also developed rough skin around her neck that has lots of pus. I checked it out today and it has started to smell really bad. I am planning on taking her to the vet tomorrow, I am worried. Any thoughts?

Answer by Bassetnut I have plenty of thoughts regarding your “care” of this dog, but they are not fit for a public forum.

Question by Lee, Kyu Hyun: What’s wrong with my dog’s rear leg? lymphosarcoma?
I have a female Beagle (spayed), and she’s only 1 and a half years old.
-Today while petting her I recognized a lump, or a bump, on her back right leg around the “lymph node” or the “popliteal” area.
-The bump is about the size of a pea (maybe a penny), it’s spherical but not a circle, it’s like a 3D oval within her skin. I can touch it and wrap my hands around it because it stretches from her skin, but I cannot remove it, obviously because it is in her skin.
-Also, her personality is the SAME. Sleeps alot, eats alot, plays alot. There’s nothing unusual about the way she walks or runs around.
I’m worried this may be a sign of a tumor, or perhaps cancer.
Is it lymphosarcoma?
Is it anything else?
Should I be worried?
We’re actually undergoing some financial problems as well, so if out beloved beagle does happen to have lymphosarcoma, what are the costs of the check-up and surgery (if-needed)?
Please respond with much detail as possible, your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer by emtcarebear55 If you’re just now noticing it, chances are that it’s new, it could be a bug bite or something along those lines. Often times we humans get little bumps which can’t necessarily be explained, give it a few days and see if it goes away, if not then make an appointment with the vet and go from there, he/she will be able to better instruct you with whether or not it could be cancerous and often times if youv’e been to the vet before and have a history with them they are flexable on working out a payment schedule with you.
Good luck and try not to worry too much
Question by RabBit x Dog: my dog has small lump on her belly?
my 3yrs old papillon has a small lump (size of a grape) right bellow her rib cage, in the middle. It doesn’t seem to cause her pain unless I push it with some pressure. I think this just appeared for 1 day the most. The lump is quite round and it’s under her belly skin, not on the surface.
Can anyone tell me what that is? hopefully not a cancer tumor…
not hernia I believe… And the lump does not move or disappear when i push it
PS: the lump actually located on her mid-abdomen, not upper nor lower

Answer by » vixter « you should take your dog to the vet soon because that sounds like an important issue.
In our mothers day there were good mothers, neglectful mothers, and occasionally great mothers. Today we have only Bad Mothers. If you work, youre neglectful; if you stay home, youre smothering. If you discipline, youre buying them a spot on the shrinks couch; if you let them run wild, they will be into drugs by seventh grade. If you buy organic, youre spending their college fund; if you dont, youre risking all sorts of allergies and illnesses. Is it any wonder so many women refer to themselves at one time or another as a bad mother? Ayelet Waldman says its time for women to get over it and get on with it, in a book that is sure to spark the same level of controversy as her now legendary Modern Love piece, in which she confessed to loving her husband more than her children. Covering topics as diverse as the hysteria of competitive parenting (Whose toddler can recite the planets in order from the sun?), the relentless pursuits of the Bad Mother police, balancing the work-family dynamic, and the bane of every mothers existence (homework, that is), Bad Mother illuminates the anxieties that riddle motherhood today, while providing women with the encouragement they need to give themselves a break.

Question by Jose Luis Cervantes: Is my shar-pei dog old or hurt?
I have a Shar-Pei dog, she’s been with us for over 8 years i believe. In the past she’s had some skin problems but thats not a big deal. A year ago she had surgery on her leg because she was discovered with cancer, she had like tumors on both the back of her legs. So she got surgery and in a couple of weeks she was running and like normal. But now, we brought her home and we saw that she just can’t run like she used to, she could climb on top of the bed, but now she needs help from one of us to carry her, she walks like if she had her leg broken, but nothing has happened to her, Is this because of her age? or is this something i should take her to the vet for?
Best answer:
Answer by CutiePie I don’t think it’s her age. I think the cancer is back. Sorry. If the cancer has not spread then they should amputate the leg to prevent this. Perhaps this is what they should have done in the first place.
