Worms in Dogs: Prevent, Diagnose, and Treat Different Types of Worms
Rescued Great Dane's Unique Way Of Eating Tugs At The Heartstrings
When you adopt a rescue, you can sometimes see shades of their old lives. And if they come from an abuse or neglect situation, it can hit you like a ton of bricks. Zeus, a Great Dane online, has finally found his forever home. But that doesn't mean his past life doesn't sometimes show through. His owner recently shared the most heartbreaking video of the pup, and it has people online so upset.
Zeus now lives the good life. But it wasn't always this way.
On his TikTok page, Zeus' owners share his current happy life. There are trips in the car, days spent lying on the couch, and many, many treats. But it's when Zeus' owners see him eating his dinner that they recall how far he's really come.

"Before Zeus was rescued, he was kept in a crate where he was fed so he almost always lays down to eat," the onscreen caption reads. It should be noted, Great Danes are HUGE dogs. So the thought that poor Zeus had to be squished into a crate to merely eat his food breaks our hearts.
People were beside themselves in the comments section. "Oh poor baby… this breaks my heart!" exclaimed one person. "Awww poor baby, he's adorable and such great people rescued him," another person added. "Poor baby. I love that his tail is still wagging in spite of human mistreatment," a third commenter added. "Run free sweet boy. Very sad to hear anyone would do that to any animal," chimed in one commenter.
Many people suggested that Zeus' owner get him a raised bowl to help him transition to standing. But there is a lot of conflicting advice over whether this is really a good idea. In fact, a 2004 Purdue University study found that dogs that eat from an elevated bowl, along with factors like chest size and high fat diets or citric acid, have been found to have an increased risk for bloat.
At best bloat is painful, in the worst cases it could be potentially deadly. That goes double for Great Danes, who were found to have this problem in particular. The condition happens when a dog's stomach flips over or twists so the stomach entryway closes off. Bloating results in gas, intestinal blockages, or stress. It can also cause gagging, decreased blood flow, or prevent your dog from going to the bathroom, leading to shock or even death.
Again, that is in the more extreme cases. But if you really want to know if an elevated feeder is right for your dog, talk to your vet. They'll be able to lead you in the right direction and find the feeder that will keep your dog safe.

2nd Suspect Charged In Shooting At Hanover House Party
According to Hanover Sheriff's Office spokesperson Sergeant Steve Wills, Hanover investigators on April 14 arrested Jayvian Marrece Threatt, 18, of Petersburg with the assistance of Virginia State Police. Authorities did not immediately announce the arrest so that the investigation would not be jeopardized, Wills said.
Wills told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that Threatt shot at James Rashawn Smith, 18, of Ashland during the house party on the 6000 block of McClellan Road. Rashawn fired back, Wills said, and struck and killed the unidentified juvenile.
Threatt has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to court records. He is next scheduled to appear in court on June 21.
Smith has been charged with second-degree murder, shooting into an occupied dwelling, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, brandishing and carrying a concealed weapon in connection with the juvenile's death, court records show. His next court date could not immediately be determined.
Hanover sheriff's deputies initially responded to the scene at around 10:46 p.M. On April 6 for a parking complaint related to a large party. Upon their arrival, deputies were advised of a shooting and found a minor who had been struck by gunfire, authorities said.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
"There are not a lot of innocent people in this," Wills said Thursday evening. "Everyone made mistakes, and now, unfortunately, two people are in jail and one is dead."
