Pet insurance: A niche business
The first pet insurance policy in the U.S.A. was issued in 1982 to the famous TV dog "Lassie" but the Swedes have been insuring their pets since 1924. In The Bahamas, there has never been a specific pet insurance policy on the market, but there are two local insurance companies who will extend their homeowners policies to cover some aspects of pet ownership. In the U.K., a standalone pet insurance...

Quite naturally, because of the prominence of those involved, those notions have engaged the attention of the media, but not sufficiently. The issue that stands out at the mo...

Reform and the surrey horses
Dear Editor,
The situation here in The Bahamas still remains critical. Nothing is being done about the horses or their situation. They are being continually run daily with no water, at illegal times of the day and with no regard for anything we are trying to accomplish and with no regard to the 'inspections' which are useless because the findings are ignored and not enforced, ever.
We had a let...

Intervertebral disc disease
For years I have suffered from back problems. Most veterinarians and animal professionals (groomers, farmers, vet technicians) at some time or the other will suffer from a back condition that is usually due from lifting up dogs and holding large animals. My back condition resulted from lifting heavy dogs and lifting weights. However, just like their own owners and some of their veterinarians, dogs...

How to recognize a sick bird and what to do
Most diseases in caged birds are directly or indirectly related to malnutrition and stress. Malnutrition most often stems from what the bird eats, rather than how much he eats. Most birds are offered enough food, but they do not receive enough of the proper food and in the proper proportions. Stress results from any condition that compromises a bird's state of well-being. Examples include poor hus...
