It's never any fun when a holiday comes along and you don;t feel much like celebrating. I have to admit that was me this year. I lost my sister a few weeks ago after a very short fight with cancer and the thought of "happy holidays" was not really in my game plan. Luckily a couple days ago, I...

There is a strong possibility it could be from fleas. When the flea dirt gets wet, it looks like( or is, not really sure) blood. That's all I can think of.

This one strikes a little close to home. When I was 29, I had a stroke. Though it took them several years to actually figure out why, one of the contributing factors was that I have had migraines( with the aura) since I was twelve. Many people with migraines( like myself) have narrower vessels...

I have this picture on my desktop at home. It's my husband with our two dogs at Christmas. And this one on my computer at work. It's me and some of my gymnastics team kids( and moms) at the Race for the Cure last year I am in the back row on the far left on the end( right behind the girl...

If you have a sling or know how to wrap your shoulder with an ace bandage, that may help. If you do indeed have tear in your rotator cuff, then ice is what should be using, not heat. You need to get the inflammation down( it won't be comfortable though ). The less stress you can put on it( no...

Many years ago, I had a tortie named tuttle. She was different than any other cat I have had( and I have had many!). She was very sweet, loving and cuddly when SHE wanted to be, but her attitude came through loud and clear when it suited her. She was a great cat, but get out of the way if she...

I run the gymnastics program for a YMCA. I'll never get paid well, but I love my job!

Has your vet recommended denosyl for the liver. It really improved Hoggie's liver values when his liver was failing. Unfortunately cancer was the underlying cause for him, but fatty liver disease can be cured. The liver is a remarkable organ in terms of it's healing properties and the denosyl...

We just had my daughter's kitten spayed last week( she is 5 months old) so I will answer your questions from my recent and past experience We did not have an antibiotic with any of our cats who were spayed including our most recent. I can't say that it is never necessary but we have never...

It is really up to you but I have found that typically, a spayed female and a neutered male get along best. But I am sure there are many who will tell you two females are fine as well. I have two spayed female dogs and people told me they would not get along well but they are best buddies. As...

Capstar works wonders to get all the fleas off and then either revolution or advantage, whichever you prefer during the flea months. It is probably true that you will have to "bomb" your house. If I understood your post that your cat goes to a house with a monkey? I would be especially careful...

Hoggie used to do it all the time. Bells never really has, but my daughters new kitten Oso does it too. It drives her nuts because she always spills her water when she does it!

I'm so sorry for your loss. And he was still such a baby. My thoughts are with you. I lost one of my babies( although he was 7, he was still my baby) a few weeks ago so I understand how hard it is.

I love the picture of patch with his long hair. He looks so much like my Hoggie did.

I am not sure if this is the right area but feel free to move it if not. I have a 7 year old spayed female, Bells. Since having to put her brother Hoggie down a few weeks ago, she is very lonely since they had always been together. She is handling it okay, but sometime in the future I would love...

She may well just be reacting to the loss of her brother and the changes in her environment. All you can do is continue to give her lots of love and attention. Have you considered adopting a new brother for her. I have a similar situation here. I had to have my hoggie pts a few weeks ago( he was...

Here are mine: Here's Hoggie(RB) And Bells My daughter's new kitty Oso is a black and white too so I will try to get a picture soon.

I have two dogs. Shiba is a year and 1/2 old. She is a Shiba Inu and Border Collie mix( don't ya love my husband's original name he picked out). Kobe is my other baby. She is a 4 year old American Eskimo. They love my kitty and can't wait to play with her everyday. SHiba Kobe The babies

Mine is $37 for a visit, including nail clipping and general exam. Shots and all that of course are extra but reasonalble. No charge for a re-check. They have been good about hospitalization charges too. They don;t always charge for all the days.

Emmylou Hoggie had Flutd and I found anytime I changed his food( dry) he would get a blockage, even it if it was still a urinary health food, so that could be the culprit. Also, if you don;t already have one, get a water foutain. It does encourage them to drink more and that helps alot.
