My friend and I recently recovered a baby mockingbird. He had a deformed Beak (gnarled and lower jaw moved to one side slightly) and can't fly. Although not a complete hatchling, this bird cannot yet fly. We have NO idea what to do, and all the humane societies/animal centers are...

Having learned a (very expensive) lesson this weekend, I thought to pass on a warning to cat owners. Yesterday, a friend came over and brought me a bouquet of lilies (they haven't opened yet but I think they are the Stargazer type) and I put them in a vase on the kitchen counter. Friend,...

Has anyone had very good success with ridding your home of fleas? They've entered either by the dog or the two cats and while I haven't seen an overwhelming number of them I do know they are in the house and aren't exactly limited to one area. A vet's office recommended some sort of "bomb" but...

One of my dogs developed a “hot spot” on her back over the weekend and it’s amazing how fast it spread. When I first noticed it on Sunday, it was small ... maybe about an inch or so in area and by Monday when I took her to the vet, it had spread to the size of a saucer. It was raw and looked very...

I had seen a t.v show on the cat food industry, and its much like I expected as so many other products. When the packaging reads 'well-balanced; or 'top cat food', veterinary brands, they all are the same. Don't get fooled by spending tons of money on them, you really have to read the...

Last summer, Socks, my eighteen year old cat passed away. I had moved away to attend college and get married, so she was left with my grandmother and lived there happily with a few other senior-aged cats and dogs. I never got to say goodbye, she died before I could manage to save up money and make...

I'm on a steroid assisted hiatus from dealing with my kitty. I'm looking to switch vets right now to find one who understands about caring for a pet but not being wealthy. The cat is strictly indoors. She went into heat because I didn't get her to the vet in time to spay... due to personal...

The old woman had a minor stroke last week - at home - to the vet - and at the vet - it lasted. She is 16.5 years old. The vet said it might have been the first one and it might not have. I just notice a big difference in her walking and standing. She stands around like she doesn't know what to...

I bought this just a month ago, and its fabulous for picking up cat fur. My vacum doesn't pick it up, but this does, I also use it on my steps, as it has a contoured rubber cover that gets into the corners and edges, its great on my bedspread and drapes. Also picks up kitty litter that flys...

Please don't sneeze on your pet It's enough that you have to worry about you and your kids catching swine flu this season. But now you also have to be concerned for … your cat. That's right. Your furry friend can catch it, from you. At least that's the case for a 13-year-old feline in Iowa...

My 16.5 year old dog is suffering from arthritis and cataracs and loss of hearing. DUH!!! The vet solution for the arthritis is rymadil at $22.00 every 2 weeks. I asked about low dose aspirin and he said NO. He said the aspirin would hurt her liver. Since Robert and I cannot afford the rymadil,...
