Last month a tatterdemalion puppy showed up. Poor thing had been starved and abused. I fed him and he was so grateful although he cowered anticipating to be hit.. When Katastrophy, my cat, checked the dog out she crawled to within a few inches of the sitting dog. The dog got excited and peed...

Hello, everyone. For reasons too involved to list, I have very limited posting ability to Usenet. I can read as much as I want, however, so please forgive my lack of quick response to answers to this query. All last year in this rural farming area, we never saw a single tick. Not one. Suddenly,...

Good morning. Chelle here. What do you use to clean/disinfect your hands after scooping litter of a cat with hookworms (or any worms)? I want to avoid contaminating my others. Mr. I-have-hookworms is currently in isolation for two more weeks. TIA
