Pets - 24 July 2006

my cat is laying around more than usual and he's also laying in different spots too but he has a scratch on his cheek and it has been healed and it opening up but the vet said that's also a sign if he has FIP he's 5 or 6 years old so i'm worried if he has that

...but I cant stop thinking that I chose to do the wrong thing. I have a one year old, got a kitten 3 weeks ago. I loved this kitten, it was so calm & funny to watch etc.. anyways the bad news is that we have a rocker recliner & some time during the course of the day friday this kitten must of crawled up inside and when one of us went to rock our baby to sleep the kitten ended up paying the ultimate price. So on goes the story that I kept thinking that the kitten must have ran out the back door when I opened it to let the dogs out because I hadnt seen it in a few hours until aroung 930 pm when I lifted the chair & found it. unfortunately it was not dead but suffering severely with a crushed skull, (im sorry to anyone reading this, I hate to even say it) so of course I cant find ANY vet at that time & after 45 minutes of trying to call someone and seeing this thing suffer I had to let my husband "take care of it" And I cant get it out of my head, I havent slept good, I feel so bad!!

You would be required to pass a test on:
- Health care/feeding
- Training techniques
- When to visit the vet

If you didn't pass the first time, a short course of some kind (maybe distance ed to make it available for all) would be required.

And maybe be required to foster a dog for 1 month minimum to show you are capable of caring for it.

It would eliminate all the people who get dogs just for some spontaneous thing to do, but aren't really committed. It would better prepare people. And the proceeds from paying for the license could be given to the humane societies.

I like the idea!!

My gerbil was on top of a fan when he fell. the fan was about four feet high. he was bleeding but we didn't find a cut. My sister and i cleaned off the blood and set him in a place where it's warm. Is there anything we can do for him? Please don't say we might have to put him down, It would break my little sister's heart.

I'd like a dog I could run 3-5 miles with, and also would not mind being indoors during weekdays. I'd exercise it in the mornings and evenings.

My brother-in-law had to put his horse down due to colic. I've never heard of this. The horse got it over night and it had to be put down right away. Any insight?

...and have puppy contracts.

I have been interviewing a man interested in my puppies. He has passed all of my requirements so far, though we still have to see if he bonds well with the puppy he wants. (If not, he said he'd happily wait for another litter.) He is a natural with my dogs and has been living with my breed (Boston Terriers) for most of his life. His references are staggering, & all of them checked out and had wonderful things to say about him.

Now, the question... Would any of you hesitate because he is in his 80s? What *extra* measures, if any, would you take to be sure that the puppy came back to you or an approved family member if this kind gentleman passes away or enters a care facility during the life of the puppy? (I do have the standard clause in my contract. Will that be enough, legally?)

I know that there is this risk with any client, no matter the age, but I was curious if any of you would handle it differently.

So stress coating is supposed to coat fish with slime to help them heal, and salt is supposed to get rid of it to make them more responsive to meds.

1. do either ever filter out?
2. do they cancle eachother out?
3. is there anything else i should know about either?
