Wink does have another appointment for her shots, so she will be seeing a vet soon. The thing that gets me is she has been to the vet, he gets right down in her face to look her over. For as bad as she smells, I would have thought he would notice. Not to mention I have asked about the smell...

Right before christmas I gave myself a present and bought a silver black persian. His name is Ziggy, and he is quite the cuddler. My question is, with all that long hair, is it necessary to have them shaved yearly. I really had no intentions of doing it, but had a person tell me it was...

Hi, I don't get a chance to come to this site very often. I need to make more time for it. The information is wonderful. On to my problem. About two years ago my calico cat, Wink, came down with the virus Panlukopenia ( please excuse the spelling). After several days in the vet's office...

hi, I am one of Debby's friends. She asked me to post a message to update everyone on how they are doing. Debby is up and moving. Very slowly, but considering everything she has been through she is doing great. The original plan was for Debby and Amber to get home sometime today (sunday)...

My blood pressure is great. There has never been any comments made about it from any of the doctor's I have seen. From the ultrasound the baby is a little small, but due to the fact that I have a malformed uterus that is expected. It is still being predicted that I will have a baby that...

I like Elvis. My daughter was looking over my shoulder while I was reading the other posts and she thought Turtle would be good. As for her suggestions, feel lucky. Most of our cats are named after food. Recently she has taken a turn tword candy names (taffy,twizzler,hershey and kisses)

I forgot to add the whole water issue. I have had alot of problems with my left leg swelling to the point that I can't get my shoe on. Just one leg. The medical clinic told me it was water retention. Who on earth holds water weight in just one leg. I have not had any other swelling. I am...

I am looking for words of wisdom or just advice. I am going into the seventh month of pregnancy and I have had it with men and the medical profession. At my doctor's appointment yesterday, I had the nurse from hell in the lab. It was all bad enough to be going through the glucose test, then...

I am not completly informed of the whole situation, so if my thoughts stray, someone jump in and help get me set straight. I am all for finding cures for the horrible diseases and traumas that life has delt us to deal with. If the stem cells were to come from an already existent source, I am...

I personally think that having animals around children is ok. When you have pets that are well adjusted to a variety of people they tend to take a special liking to the little ones. Speaking from experience, when the animal is given the chance to get to know the baby, the bond can be strong...

I apologize for any harsh words I have, I don't want to offend anyone. You have all been so wonderful. But on the flip side of that I feel there are things to be said. I would like to ask some of these people who are abusing the pleasure and joy of having animals how they would like to be...

It has to be smokey joe that is hiding my kids scrunchies. It is becoming quite a problem. Not that the scrunchies are ruined or anything, but winkers is developing an attitude that is awful. She makes this awful screaming noise that is much worse than before, and her tail swithces all over...

daisy is at the vet getting "fixed." It was a nightmare getting her there even in the pet taxi. I have tried to figure out what would have caused her to kill four babies. They were all so healthy and beautiful. Her living conditions were very clean and as far as noise she was kept in our...

So far the three babies are doing really well. I should have known better than to let herv have a second litter. Her first was several months ago and she left them in our hay trailer. The only difference is the first ones were abandoned at just a little over a week. That's where I got my...

I wasn't sure if this should go under the behavior section, or if it would be considered a funny little habit. Anyway, one of my kittens has taken to sticking all of my daughters hair scrunchies in the litter pan and then covering them up. This isn't setting very well with my daughter. On top...
