I need to find a good vet for my cat in Bellevue, WA (in or near 98008). Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Or better yet, is there anyone in Bellevue with a recommendation? Cory

What would be the dosage of colloidal silver for a 8-10lbs cat? How many times a day? I have a bottle of 22 ppm. She has breast cancer and an infectuous abscess. Thank you Patricia

Today I see a sign on the community mailboxes that says my neighbor across the street was babysitting his friend's Himmie, and it has gone missing. They let the cat OUTSIDE and "now he hasn't come back for two nights in a row". The sign asks for any info. It has *poured* rain here (Portland, OR)...

For those of you who made such an emotional investment in replying to my recent post regarding the semi - feral tom that visited my home last week, here is an update and explanation for that post. Those of you who have followed my recent posts about my own animals would have a difficult...

Xena eats up my lemon grass. Since our yard has been 'done' I had it mulched while I am deciding what to plant and where. Meanwhile, the weeds are gone, and lemon grass (or what is left of it) is the only grass. I have put some barley and wheatgrass seeds in pots for her; they should be long enough...

I have seen the special foods at my vet. I haven't seen Royal Canin anywhere but Petsmart either. Joe wrote in message ... Other than petsmart, does anyone know of an online vendor who sells this food?

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars...

Yesterday was my first day volunteering at an animal sanctuary. They have tigers, cougars, a black bear, etc... Overall a great experience, but it left me coming home with LOTS of new smells on me that my cat has never smelled before. He was apparently overwhelmed by the scents and avoided me when...

Hello, Please have a look at my new website : http://www.pameredpetpictures.com Isabelle Plasschaert

I took my 10-year old boy, Yoda, to the vet yesterday for the second time in a week. He subsequently went into respiratory failure and died. Although he had been ill for about two weeks, it took both the vet and myself by surprise. This is my tribute to my friend: A decade ago, a very pregnant...

It was five years ago today that my tuxedo cat IKE left the house and never returned. The house is surrounded by dense woods and undergrowth so there was no way to search for him. I "replaced" Ike with Tiger about a week later. Neither Tiger or Amber go out. They have never been out so don't...

For the past month there had been a new cat hanging around the outside of our house. He would spend long days sleeping in our garden and was even around at nighttime. I enquired with a neighbour friend and they told me that a lady who was renting a basement apartment in the house across...

A good friend has a predicament. She has two cats and her condominum complex says one cat. She will be fined $200 a month. She wants to move but wants to find out if she has any legal recourse. Other tenants have big dogs but I guess the bylaws state one cat and she has two. Any...

Hi I have a small tabby female who keeps biting / scratching at the base of her tail so that only very short fur grows there.She is a nervous cat but sat steadfastly on the feet of my husband when he died recently,up until the very time he was buried. The skin looks OK where the fur is short but...

Hi, If anyone could share thoughts on this cat health problem, I'd be grateful..... Our (middle aged) moggie has suddenly lost the ability to meow :( We thought that this was due to his unfortunate habit of eating bees/wasps (causing swelling around mouth and presumably inside the voicebox, but...

My husband and I are about ready to look for new kitties after Victor's death a few months ago. We know the basics, like not to look for "lookalike" kitties...I was very disappointed with our other cat, Ashley because she looked just like a greatly loved cat I had before but wasn't the same in...

Jackie is home after having all her teeth removed. Her mouth doesn't stink anymore and she is eating the normal mush but I do crush it well for her if it needs it. She always would eat almost any canned food and is currently getting Wellness and Science Diet plus some Trader Joe. She is lying on...

"Phil" wrote in message ... How long can a cat go without eating and still make it back? It's possible that my cat hasn't eaten much if anything for the last month, and in that time he lost two or more pounds. I've been out of the...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can have a new couch and of course keep my kitty who has a leaky bladder. Little guy was in an accident a few years back and has lost complete control of his bladder. He goes in his litter box but also goes wherever. He will piddle wherever he may be...
