 Indigo was impressed that obesity was not one of the ten leading causes for surgery in dogs. Maybe all those dogs are following her example and taking their master for a walk twice a day so they do not need weight loss surgery or best weight loss supplements Surgical claims are typically some of the most expensive received at pet insurance companies, with the average claim routinely costing thousands of dollars. The most common surgical claim for dogs on the list, benign skin mass, cost policyholders an average of $999 per claim. The least common, auricular hematoma, cost an average of $296 per claim. Top 10 Reasons For Surgery in Dogs: · Benign Skin Mass · Skin Abscess, Inflammation, or Pressure Ulcer · Tooth Extraction · Torn ACL or Cartilage · Malignant Skin Mass · Cancer of the Spleen · Cancer of the Eyelid · Bladder Stones · Cancer of the Liver · Auricular Hematoma (swollen, fluid-filled ear) Add Comment  Sniffing around old buildings, building demolition sites and old building debris can pose a hazard for your dog. Your dog can bring asbestos from these investigation adventures back into your home on it's feet and in its hair, so best to curtail some of your dog's natural tendency to want to investigate interesting looking places.  Mesothelioma can develop in dogs the same as Mesothelioma cancer develops in humans because dogs like humans have mesothelial cells in their abdomen, lungs and heart which can become damaged by asbestos fibers, turning cancerous over time. Dogs develop this disease sooner after exposure to asbestos usually within a few years whereas it may take decades to develop in humans. Some sources claim it takes two years for a dog to develop this disease after exposure and others claim 8 years. Dogs contract this disease by inhaling or swallowing the asbestos fibres. As with humans, prevention is the best approach. This is one more reason why dogs are best not allowed to free roam. If your dog is bringing home dust on its coat, you need to know where your dog has been and that you are not putting your own family as well as your dog at risk. Remember that it is not normal for dogs to be short of breath or appear to have a cold; these are symptoms to have investigated by your vet.  | Follow me on Facebook, Kathy Shell
