We had quite a few debates with my editors arguing that "signs" is technically more accurate. Which it is. But who, other than veterinary professionals and editors uses that term? Which term do you use?

I don't think they need a description to go with them, the titles are self-explanatory.
Two of these are somewhat different subject - knee injuries. Which again reminds me I ought to write more about this, particularly since I do have a bunch of new information to share. Also reminds me that I need to make a new version of Talk to Me about ACL Injuries. While the information in the article is still good, there is a lot more information that needs to be added. Yay. For obvious reasons, knee injuries is one of the subjects that is always on my radar.
Any dog health issues topics you guys would like me to write about?
