hi i was looking for articles on flea control spot on's and i found what i think is a really good article and thought i would share it and i was wondering if it was fairly accurate or not for the acrobat file http://www.apnm.org/publications/resources/fleachemfin.pdf or for the html...

Hi, Frisky, my 11 year old female indoor cat, has developed a series of small sores on her nose. They are scabbed, and have progressed from the area between her nose proper and her forehead, and are now going toward her lips. I called the vet, and after I described the problem in detail, she...

My female cat likes to have her head scratched. She usually opens her mouth while I scratch, and tonight she made some snorting noises. Is there something wrong? Susan

Phil I automatically sort messages here and delete all but yours. My concern is, eventually, you will move on. Question is, could you give me any names of other valuable contributors to this group. Thanks indeed.

My 9 year old, Amber, lost one of her upper fangs today. I found it on the floor and it looks like it broke off. She eats mostly canned food - only nibbles on dry if she wants me to give her more wet. She seems to be eating normally. I guess this means a trip to the vet next week. She doesn't...

Newbie here...thanks in advance if any of you can answer my questions about distemper. Stopped at the local humane society today and fell in love with an adorable 16 week kitten. He's alert and lively and a little purr-machine. HOWEVER, the shelter worker said he and his two brothers were born...

I know this sounds so silly almost ridiculous! but my cat - when she sees me in the morning (she's at her friendliest and most affectionate - because its feeding time!) and I'm cuddling her and petting her - she makes a sound which sounds so much like she's saying a word - "wa - wa" and when I say...

My first foray into this newsgroup was not a nice one. Except for a very select few who responded with caring and kindness (and to those, thank you very much), the rest of those who responded were not very nice to me. I didn't post to ask for your approval or your lectures....I was upset...

hi everyone. i'm planning on getting a cat and i've never had one before. i just wanted to get some opinions on declawing. i've heard both sides from my friends, but wanted to get some more ideas. also, just wanted to let everyone know that i am excited to get involved in this group and am happy to...

In a recent posting a group member asked about travelling with their cat on airlines. Many of the repliers seemed very much against having a cast travel in the cargo section. I am curious to know why becaue we are planning move from Australia to Great Britain in about two years to live for about...

I have heard that cats like to eat boiled carrots and it is good for them to it them. Now i have just read an article where it is said that they should not. Could anyone,pls, help me to confirm if they should or should not eat carrots?

Some of you have followed the story of Holly and Duffy. Holly is my black cat, the one we used to call "the black tornado" because she was so aggressive toward any other cat. Duffy is my blind cat (gray with white markings), adopted several months ago and integrated into an environment with one...

Hi, My cat is an in- and outdoor cat. Because he got worms several times when I lived in California, I started deworming him once a month with Drontal...and I used Advance against the flees. A couple of weeks ago I moved to Seattle, WA. Do I have to deworm him less frequently? Maybe every other...

Sully seems to be back to his usual self now. Saturday night (when my parents were over for a meal with my bf & I) he went in his litter tray and did a 'motion' ... and boy could we tell as he stank the room out! At least the catalax seems to have worked, and he's playing and purring away like he...

What is "Albon Suspension"? What was it prescribed to treat?

Hello... I took our kitten to the vet on Wednesday to spayed. When I picked her up on Thursday, the vet told me something interesting. When she was opened her up, there was nothing there. This is a kitten that we had adopted from a pet shelter. The shelter had told us that she was approximately...

Thanks to all who responded. Secondo had her first chemo today. Her URI seems to have abated and her incision was almost totally healed. She seems to feel a little under the weather, but I've been given an anti-nausea pill for her. Hopefully, the cancer was cured by the surgery. It had not...

I have the Littermaid but saw the new Performa box at Petsmart. Anyone have experience with this and how it compares with Littermaid? Adam
