What kind of dog and age of dog would you recommend for a family with two kids(4 and 2) and another dog that is 13 but every friendly. Our other dog passed away a year ago from cancer and I am finally ready to help another dog find a home.

I'll try to make this short! Our two cats are not getting along after taking 1 cat to the groomer. We've tried pretty much everything the internet says...Feliway diffusers, separating them, exposing them to each other's smells, etc. Right now the aggressive cat is on amitryptline after consulting with 2 vets. It's been about 6 days on the medication. When do you think the medication will be at a therapeutic level where we can start trying to allow them to have minimal contact again?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Elizabeth! This is a cool idea! btw, we should hang out sometime. Would you and Kyle like to check out the Worthington farmer's market and La Chateline sometime?
ReplyDeleteMy cat doesn't like any wet food, but he seems to drink a lot of water. How hard should I try to get him to eat wet food? Do you have any suggestions for my finicky cat?

So, my cat has really bad breath. Like, it's rank. And he's always had it. One of my other cat friends told me it's not normal for cats to have gross breath and it might be an infection, so of course I panicked and googled everything about what that could possibly be, but of everything I found, the only symptom he has is the breath. He still eats all the time and seems happy and fine otherwise. I mean, he throws up a lot, but that's just been hairball stuff lately... are these things related?
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool idea for a blogging series. I don't have any questions as I have my own personal vets to ask but I look forward to asking questions of the other experts!
