Ask the vet

Want to know why Fluffy has stopped using her litterbox, or why Fido's losing his hair?

Here's your chance to ask the questions you forgot to ask during your pet's yearly checkup, things you always wanted to know, or just to get another opinion.

Dr. Valerie Miller of East York Veterinary Center is gathering questions for an "Ask the Vet" column, to be posted online at www.inyork.com/petnews.

Send questions to rose@ydr.com.

Note: Questions will be used as a basis for the column, and cannot be answered individually. The column should not be used as a substitute for regular veterinary checkups.
