Why dogs live less than people?
Here is an answer. A vet was called to the sick dog. The family were looking for miracle. After medical exam vet realized that the dog is dying and nothing can be done. A little boy was hugging dog calmly and tenderly. After short time the dog was gone. A boy accepted it quietly. In contrast, his mom was crying asking why dogs life is so short. The boy told us that he knows the answer: "People come to this word to learn love, compassion, understanding and happiness. Dogs are born knowing all of that, so they don't have to spend much time learning about it. That's why."
We can learn a lot from dogs:
- When someone from your family come home go to the door to greet them.
- Never pass a chance to go for a walk.
- Take a nap (fiesta) at the middle of the day.
- Stretch your muscles before getting off the bed.
- Don't bite when growl is enough.
- When there is very hot outside drink a lot of water and stay in the shadow.
-If something that you are looking for is hid look for it diligently, circling back and forth till you find it.
- Stay positive.

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways in the human body. It is essential for the normal function of the blood, eyes, neural system, and DNA synthesis, among other functions. For instance, vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis and function of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in red blood cells. Hemoglobin's main component, iron, binds oxygen in the lungs and releases it in the tissues. Vitamin B12 is vital for iron absorption; a deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to pernicious anemia (also known as vitamin B12/folate deficiency anemia). This condition often results from the body's inability to absorb B12 in the stomach. In such cases, doctors may prescribe injectable vitamin B12.

Injectable vitamin B12 is available in three forms: cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, and hydroxocobalamin. The difference between them lies in their biochemistry and usage. When cyanocobalamin is processed by the body, it converts into methylcobalamin, the naturally occurring active form of B12. Cyanocobalamin is equivalent to methylcobalamin as a dietary supplement, but methylcobalamin is preferred for individuals with peripheral neuropathy, whether related to diabetes or not. Hydroxocobalamin is often prescribed by ophthalmologists and is used for other medical purposes. However, hydroxocobalamin is currently on the FDA drug shortage list.
Both injectable methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin can be compounded and are available at the Palm Beach Compounding Pharmacy by prescription.

MEET OUR PATIENTS. This is the "Anderson Cooper". That's probably the most opinuated dog we ever seen. Just like his doppelgänger he has an opinion just about everything and he is always ready to express it. He definitely does not like color of my scrub, appearance of the pharmacy and a few more things. What's important for us is that he doesn't mind to take medications, that we make for him.

This is Sir Lancelot, the very special cat. Why is he so special? I'll tell you, I promise, but first, let me explain to you one of the biggest challenges in veterinary pharmacy—making medications palatable for animals. Humans can be easily convinced that an awfully-tasting medicine is necessary with the words of the doctor or pharmacist (a shiny package or fancy name also helps). However, animals will not eat something that tastes bad. As a result, we use various taste-masking flavors, special veterinary bases, and some other techniques to make drugs taste acceptable for animals.

Cats have highly developed senses of smell and taste, making it challenging to fool them. We know that cats are visceral (nature gives them those claws for a reason) and mostly love the taste of liver, fish, chicken, and such. The veterinary pharmacology textbook also says that "cats are disgusted by alcohol," and that's true most of the time. Apparently, Sir Lancelot did not read the textbook. He loves alcohol to the extent that his mom and dad cannot leave a drink unattended—this cat will find it and drink it! It was very tempting for me to give him his medicine as an alcohol-based suspension, but luckily, he loves tuna just as much.

Look again at Sir Lancelot—the alcoholic cat :-)
