We all remember this one. Leave it to Ford to blame an ad agency under their employ for this disgusting commercial. Now the ad agency is trying to state they also didn't sanction the commercial. Talk about passing the buck! http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0419ford-ad19-ON.html -- Panther...

My two cats (ages 13 and 12) are going in next week for a dental cleaning. The 13 year-old (Kitty) also needs a tooth extracted. The last time I got this done (different vet), it cost $700+ for the two of them (a couple extractions). The vet ran all kinds of blood tests and an IV. I felt $700...

Our very large gray and white cat Ari is missing. She didn't come home for dinner this evening and she's not one to miss a meal. We live near the corner of 40th and Van Buren so she's likely in the vicinity because she usually doesn't roam far. If you spot her could you call or text (202) 531-8080?...

I have two, and Pookie is about one year older than Bubba. Both females. I spoil them; they are house cats and do not roam outside. Recently, we took them to the vet to get their bottoms trimmed of long fur as they were having accidents in the litter pan. We got Pookie in the carrier alright,...

Hi All: This has been a terrible two days for Tania, my 13 year old feral female Main Coon, and for me as well. Christmas eve Tania started bleeding from her vagina. I took her immediately to VERG http://www.vetemergencyreferral.com] Xrays, ultrasound, and blood tests revealed her uterus was...

My brother and sister-in-law are visiting this weekend. I live in Texas and they live in Pennsylvania, so this was my sister-in-law's first opportunity to See Duffy. She "oohed" and "awwed" properly over both of my cats, but they especially wanted to see Duffy climb the cat tree because they had...

Hi all - I am so stressed and need people to keep my baby in their thoughts today. I recently moved into a new house last week and it backs onto a forest, with few neighbours. Anyway I haven't let my cat out because I wanted him to become familiar with the territory first on a leash. However at our...

Feast your eyes on this Sweetheart! She was surrendered about a month an a half ago because her owners suddenly became "allergic". I'm actually afraid to adopt her to anyone. I make it a point to spend a few minutes with her every day. She's about three years old and an absolute sweetheart. ...

My 15 year old cat, Kato, has always vomited frequently. Sometimes there is fur involved but often not. Her general health is very good. She had surgery at age 3 for a bladder stone and has been fine since but the weak stomach has been ongoing for many years. Sometimes it seems to be unrelated...

All of his test results came back great! He still has a bit of a fever, but is responding well to antibiotics, so they sent him home with some clavomox. He's much more talkative, purrs, and is still eating and drinking well. He's a bit anemic, but we've been battling fleas here since the fosters...

Dear Xx Xxxxxx Thank you for your email and for sharing your comments regarding our Research Policy. At the end of March 2003 an animal rights group in the U.S. made serious allegations about The Iams Company's work with an independent contract research facility. Here are the facts.

We got a kitten to catch the mice in the house. He's about 12 weeks old or so. The vet has recommended that he stay indoors, so he's not getting any practice hunting outside at all. He loves to chase the laser and play with little foam balls, and we have one of those little mice that hangs on an...

I took my cat to vet a week ago when I noticed a wound on leg. Cat had been hiding, so I suspected something was wrong. The vet opined it was from a cat fight, but it can't be as I always watched him when I let him out for limited periods. He gave him antibiotic. He continued hiding, and a...

It looks like Icarus may be going back to the vet for another possible urinary obstruction. I called the vet and left a message so hopefully I'll get a call back despite it being a Sunday. I've followed all of the vet's instructions and he gets canned food quite often every day and also gets...

I have been following some of the messages concerning Monica with a combination of sadness and anger. Monica has a long history on the newsgroup, and many of you should be well aware that a cat's best interest is always foremost on her mind. You can tell a lot about a person by that person's...

Hello I am new to posting on newsgroups; I am wondering if anyone can help me find a good online pet store that will ship frontline for cats to the UK. I have frankly had it with my vet and paying her the equivalent of $40 every 2 months just for her to walk in give me a smile and quick thumbs up...

So I was getting dressed this morning and saw my kitten, Cookie, gnawing on something. We just had a new bedframe delivered and have yet to take it out of the box. Well I discovered with horror that she had consumed a little bit of styrofoam that had broken off the box. She doesn't appear to be...
