Hello. I am in desperate need of advice to get rid of all these fleas. Here's the story... I live in the South and have been told by vets and vet techs that it is impossible to get rid of the fleas here because they are sand fleas and are flat. I have a dog who, of course, goes out side. We try...

Phil I just got an phone call from the slaves of Mr.Kitty; whom you should remember as the one that ate the angel trumpet. He is doing fine no seizures or symptoms since the last one here in the shelter. He is so energetic that they asked me if they could come in the morning and see if a new god...

I have a question that I'm hoping someone knows the answer to! I apologize in advance for the long-winded explanation. I have two cats - one is a 5 year old domestic medium hair, and the other is a 9 month old Ragdoll. They get along great, and the younger arrival has definitely improved the...

There's a dental cleaner that I'm interested in getting and I'm wondering if it works. This particular one is called Liquid Oral Care and is made by Petkin. It says it cleans teeth and freshens breath, fights plaque and gum disease, it also contains baking soda. It's odorless and tasteless and you...

Hello, My cat - male, 10 yrs old - started acting very odd yesterday. He is clearly quite ill. His movements are very slow and unsure, his reaction time to noise and other stimuli is slow and sluggish, he is not eating, and taking very little water. His movement is slow and strained. It looks...

I have had tough winter since my dog, Holly, got killed a little over a month ago. One source of solace is the friendship I have with other people's dogs, who frequently come around because they know they will be welcome. Tweaker likes dogs about as much as I do, which is something I haven't seen...

for teaching a cat to use a scratching post instead of the furniture. Thanks! Michelle

I have two cats, Kiki is my older female, Kitty is my younger larger male. Among lots of other things to climb on, Kiki has a (single occupant) loft way up high. Maybe once a day she climbs up their for a nap. When Kiki is about two thirds of the way up there, she usually pauses to look out the...

Tiger goes ape over the Friskies Dental Diet which he gets as a treat at bed time. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580')

My trick is simple: I dip the pill and my fingers in cooking oil before medicating the cat. This achieves two things: 1. the oily pill goes down the throat fast and does not get stuck on the tongue 2. the cat's muzzle gets oily from my fingers and he starts licking his chops right away, and that...

Hi, About four months ago, I trapped some wild kittens. I kept one and gave 2 to to a family member. My wild kitten is truly a wild cat. I have another cat too, and it seems to have helped the wild cat feel more comfortable having another cat in the home. I live in an apartment, and both cats...

Very good news! Hope it was just a passing bug. They have to do this every once in awhile to scare the crap out of us. Rhonda Margarita Salt wrote: She said that the blood levels

mr pussy wizard (sounds like the tootsie roll tootsie pop commercial..mr owl?) how would you talk a cat into not throwing up they scarf down the food and go throw it up

My dog recently got these scaly spots on his back. At first they start off just brown but then they get kind of blackish and bleed a little. I have taken him to the vet and they gave me some shampoo but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have any experience with this?
