Only one of our dogs has been exposed to a Christmas tree, the 7 cats and other two dogs have never seen one. We just put one up today and are afraid to put ornaments on it until we see how everyone reacts. So far only Rin has been testing my resolve but she's always like that.

    So, I'm a really random person and like to just try stuff for fun as far as like crafts, cooking, and baking. I can't bake cookies, well I can only bake pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I'm also not great with cupcakes, the last homemade ones I attempted I used 2 sticks of butter instead of...

It's always something! When I woke up this morning I found a whole claw just sitting on top of a storage box.  It was a bit alarming since Ghost didn't appear hurt or bleeding, so I checked his front paws.  There on his left front foot was a painful looking area where his claw had once been, it...

My cat has been suffering scabs, itching and hair loss since before we took him in.  We finally found something that is helping! The vet wanted us to try Atopica after everything else failed.  He got so bad there for a while I was scared we were going to lose him soon.  He just stopped moving...

This is a random post but I wanted to share.  I got a violin last week after ten years of wanting to learn how to play lol.  i haven't been involved with music since the ninth grade and that was choir.  I am starting from scratch as far as the violin and reading music. I had my first lesson...

My vet today suggested trying raw food for Ghost who has a skin problem that is getting worse. She suggested going to a local pet store here that sells a few different brands and also suggested using something like lamb. I need to get him switched soon so I'm trying to research but want some...

My cat Ghost is eating the Nature's Variety Instinct limited ingredient turkey dry food, he was doing canned but has since lost complete interest in it. He had put on a lot of weight last year so I've been trying to feed him better and get him to be active, though being a senior he doesn't play...

Last night Rin caught Moki in the eye with her claw, it was very minor. Today I can hardly find the spot but I'm concerned about infection. Moki is squinting a little but doesn't seem in severe pain. I've got her a very appointment at 4 today but I'm wondering if this is necessary for a poke...

Just need to talk about this So we are under a winter storm warning and it's pretty cold and snowing. This Beagle is wondering the neighborhood and comes up to my husband and I limping with his fur half frozen. My neighbors were calling for it following it around trying to find the owner with...

I'm just wondering if any of you have tear duct plugs? I have a cpap machine for my sleep apnea but only used it for a night or so before giving up because my right lower tear duct whistles and leaks air into my eyelid at night. It was super annoying and more so irritating to my eye since air...

My parents cat Mama needs subq fluids for a week or so and I am the one giving them to her. The vet showed me how and Mama was very good for her but when the time came for me to do it today she was very angry. I warmed them up in water and tested it on my wrist and it felt like it did at the...

Let me start by saying that the kittens were 9 1/2 weeks when they left Hina. They were only getting to nurse when Hina was distracted for a moment but she always escaped them. She would lay up high where they couldn't get her but would let them nurse for a minute or two rarely at this point. I...

The kittens I've been helping raise are 9 weeks old and will be ready to go to new homes soon. I'm a little stressed as three of them were picked out by people and all of them backed down. So now I have all 6 with no prospective homes for them to go to. I took in the mom as a pregnant stray and...

I apologize if this isn't the right area to post this but it isn't really about cat health issues and more about our vet. I took Hina the stray we took in that had kittens to get tested for fiv and felv before introducing her to all our other kitties. Then my dads cat Mama had a swollen eye lid...

Long story short Ghost is almost done with his prednisone and is on a limited ingredient diet and his neck/face scabs are back like before. I was wondering if there is anything natural worth trying while we wait to see if he is or isn't allergic to something in his food?

Let me start off by saying this isn't about my cat, it is my best friends cat Gordon. My friend lives in KS and is asking for advice because the vet is stumped so far with Gordons loss of 4 pounds in two months. They had a full blood panel done along with thyroid and diabetes tests and...

The kittens will be six weeks old tomorrow and I had a question. When do I stop weighing them daily?

I've made a lot of threads on here and I apologize but  I have a quick question about weaning. I also have a few other things to ask lol. The kittens are now four weeks old today and are growing so fast! Now that they are out of their nesting box we moved them and their mother into a tent with...

The stray I took in over a month ago had a go at me tonight, I didn't even realize what was happening until I felt her claws in my arm. Every evening I change the bedding in her nesting box, to do this I remove the kittens and put them into another box with a blanket and she never gives me a...

I'm confused, one of my 2 1/2 week old kittens gained 31 grams yesterday and today she lost 8 grams, I always weigh at the same time. It's confusing because she is playful, alert, walking better than most of her litter mates and feeding fine. Her tummy is as round as all of her siblings and she...
