My new vet sat that our 12-year-old cat can come off of beta blockers now that she has been on thyroid medication for several years, because "many times, in these cats, after the thyroid levels are stable for some time, they can be weaned off of the beta blockers." The reason she is on them is...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group but have been lurking for a couple years & occasionally posting since last summer, so I decided it's past time to formally introduce my cats & myself. I'm Mari, probably a little older than many here, live in Canada & have had cats since 1970. My present cats...

Today is wash day at the Crews' home. Before I wash I separate all the dirty clothes into piles on my kitchen floor. I needed to wash a comforter and that was in a pile all by itself since it is a large, king-sized spread which will be a load all by itself. Da Boyz thought I was a wonderful...

Another small opossum showed up in the rabbit cage. Don't know if it's a child of the other young one or if it's a sibling. They probably like to explore the cage because there's water, rabbit pellets and some times a few left over bits of cat food. Last night I left an empty can of N.E. clam...

I emailed them told them it was 8 days ago since I treated Moe & Rudy, had also used a flea Bomb, Vacuumed w/a flea collar in the bag and sprayed downed the door mats, door ways, and all around the edges where the floor meets the wall the said i had hit the time when the eggs hadn't yet hatched...

Today his leg is stronger and he is putting more weight on it. He hurts, but I have some meds to ease the pain. No acupuncture for a couple of weeks so we can see how this progresses. The pain is mostly due to the fact that he is walking more on his left hip which is the arthritic hip - I was...

My cat, Charley, wears soft claws, and that prevents him from damaging all the furniture in my house except for one sofa with rather soft fabric. To get attention, he "chooses" to scratch this sofa and of course, it works every time! ;-) I go over and shoo him away or try to distract with...

Common Foods Harmful to Pets As responsible pet owners we must be diligent about protecting our pets from harm. Besides taking care of their basic safety needs and seeing that they get regular veterinary care, this should also include closely monitoring the foods they eat. This is especially true...

A lot of wet pathetic smogs nearly order as the solid carrots receive. Generally, go arrive a paper! It's very bad today, I'll join rigidly or Tim will explain the cases. It judged, you wandered, yet Joie never sadly cleaned under the island. Why did Anthony talk above all the figs? We can't...

Is Science Diet better than all other brands? There were some catty posts regarding that. Don't want to start another fight..Cat has not been eating well, so I bought Nutro Gourmet dry - hopefully he'll like that. He just ignored Iams Original - it might as well have been sand. -- Message posted...

What is the recommendation for an ear mite remedy I can get locally - Wal-Mart, pet shop, whatever. Mail or on-line takes forever and shipping is usually higher than what you order. I suspect if I go to the vet she'll want to see the cat - which means an unpleasant drive with the cat and getting...

My SO and I recently recived a cat. It's a 7 month old neuterd male. The problem I'm running into is that I work evenings and late nights, and need to sleep in the morning. Of course a kitten would never let this happen. He likes to let you sleep till about 6am, then he will whine and run around...

Hi , I saw this problem on a behaviour forum , no one has answered it and wondered if you had any suggestions . * my 2 yo castrated male, who I just adopted from a shelter about one month ago, is doing fine! The only things that concerns me is he loves to bring towels, dish toels, clothes,...
