family news

I spent several hours at the vet yesterday after the small dog's incision broke open.

No, not malpractice: We had the same problem with other dogs. It is due to the low protein diet of the dogs who we adopted from the farm etc where they got little protein in their diets.

Whenever I read about vegan etc. meaning fewer heart attacks, I just roll my eyes, because low protein diets mean "piss poor protoplasm", aka mild protein malnutrition aka mild kwashiorkor, where the muscles and connective tissue are weak... so you get poor healing and low resistance to infections.

Sigh.
