    Small swelling under chin, painful now

    I noticed a month ago, my 5 yr old cat had a dark spot on the underside of her jaw that was dark, maybe half an inch long and thin.  I thought maybe she had been scratched or bitten by our other cat, or perhaps had rubbed it raw marking things.  She did not mind having it touched. Today, my...

    Friend's dog with bloody stool

    A friend took his beagle dog to the emergency vet last night at 1:30 am. It was pooping only blood. Has been lethargic the past two days, not eating. Vet ran some tests to check for known pests, bacteria, but nothing showed up. Xrays were normal too. Anyone have any ideas?

    Litterbox woes while owners are away

    Whenever my in-laws leave their indoor only mail cat alone for a few days, he begins pooping and sometimes peeing outside of the litterbox.  He does not ever do this unless they leave him alone longer than a day.

    Black kitten in Nebraska needs new home

    Browsing Craigslist, I saw this kitten today and recalled reading it is hard to find homes for black cats.  I thought someone here might have room for this sweet looking kitten and thought I would share.  I do not know the owners. http://omaha.craigslist.org/pet/3123463242.html
