Dr. Ann McCampbell just sent out this alert:
“I just heard tonight that the new Parks Division Director, Richard
Thompson, has ordered Roundup to be used in all Santa Fe parks. Even
tho the City Ordinance specifies that only the IPM Coordinator can
approve of pesticide use, since Mr. Thompson is Dick Fagerlund’s boss
(Dick is City IPM Coordinator), he’s decided to take matters into his
own hands.“City Councilor Patti Bushee has been alerted. She has been a strong
advocate for no pesticides in the past and hopefully she can get this
turned around, but in any case we need to pummel the city with phone
calls of outrage.“Please call the mayor Javier Gonzales at 955-6590 and ask him to stop
this nonsense.“If you live within the City limits, please also call your City
Councilors. Hopefully you have their numbers, if not, you can get them
from the City Manager’s office
at 955-6848.

Lost Pet Alert – West Alameda
Sometime between 4-930 our Chihuaua got out of the house, on west Alameda couple streets past the co-op. We just adopted her yesterday and it seems as if she may have dug through the bottom of our gate. She is light brown, skidish, brown nose, really lanky, extra long neck, red collar with diamonds on it, her front paws have red polish. Her name is baby but she may not respond to it well.
If anyone has seen her, please contact me asap! (505-459-4373 / 505-901-7925) This dog was going to be a great addition to the family and the children will be heartbroken if we can’t find her.

Hemangiosarcoma in Dogs
Hemangiosarcoma in Dogs

Hemangiosarcoma is a malignant cancer of the cells that form blood vessels. Because these tumors start in blood vessels, they are frequently filled with blood. Consequently, when a blood-filled tumor ruptures, it can cause problems with internal or external bleeding. Hemangiosarcoma is considered to be a very aggressive tumor and can spread rapidly to other organs.Hemangiosarcoma is more common in dogs than in cats. It usually occurs in middle-aged to older dogs 9 to 11 years of age, and German shepherds appear to be predisposed to developing this cancer.The most common primary location of this cancer in dogs is the spleen. Other primary locations include the heart, liver, skin, and bone; however, it can start in any location where blood vessels are present. These tumors usually spread to the lungs, liver, spleen and heart.
Signs of this disease are usually the result of the tumor rupturing, which causes bleeding. This may occur without any warning, and the symptoms will depend upon where the tumor is located.
- When the tumor is located in the spleen or liver, the signs are usually due to rupture of the tumor and subsequent bleeding into the abdomen. This causes anemia, weakness and if the bleeding is severe, collapse. The gums may appear to be pale or white. In relatively few animals the diagnosis is made before the tumor ruptures.
- When this type of tumor occurs in the heart, it can cause symptoms, such as weakness, collapse, difficulty breathing, exercise intolerance and fluid build-up in the abdomen. This is usually due to the development of fluid around the heart, called pericardial effusion. A thin sack, called the pericardium, normally surrounds the heart. In pericardial effusion the sack fills up with fluid and prevents the heart from beating effectively. With hemangiosarcoma, the pericardium fills up with blood due to rupture of the tumor.
- When the tumor occurs in the skin, a mass or lump can usually be felt in or under the skin. The mass may become ulcerated and bleed. When the tumor occurs in a bone, it can cause pain and discomfort. In some locations, such as a rib, the tumor can be felt as a firm swelling in the bone. What to Watch For
- Anemia, weakness and collapse
- Pale or white gums
- Difficulty breathing
- Exercise intolerance
- Fluid build-up of the abdomen
- Mass or lump under the skin
- Swelling in the bone
- Pain in the bones
Lost Pet Alert – Pacheco Street
Newly adopted dog LOST (Santa Fe)
Tri Color Female Chihuahua, named “June Bug” was lost, on Tuesday, on Pacheco street between San Mateo and Alta Vista in Santa Fe. The dog was “coming home” after having been adopted from the SFAS and was inadequately secured. She broke free and ran away. She is 12 lbs, 1+ years old, vetted and micro chipped. We are unable, at the time of this initial posting, to determine if she has been found – if she is being looked for – or a photo of her. But it’s cold out there and this little has been out for 48 hours, so keep your eyes peeled. Unknown if she will run away on approach.
