Pets - 11 October 2006

Our family cat Pookie got hit by a car after a handyman startled it and it ran into traffic. I went out to help and found it on the side of the road, laying there. Its eye had popped the socket and was hanging by some cords below the eye. The people who hit it must have got second thoughts and came back - the wife was hysterical with fright on seeing it, and offered to take it to a vet. The husband said not to bother as there was nothing that they could do as it was dead. Just after he said that the cat made its
last "death" movements....which the wife saw causing her to start wailing. I buried the cat shortly after since Pookie had obviously "gone to heaven".

I'm wondering if there was anything that I could have done to save it. Apart from the popped eye, I didn't see any other obvious trauma (mind you the eye looked HUGE outside the socket)? Maybe it's skull suffered some extreme force ?????

My kitten is now 7 1/2 months. I have followed everyone's suggestions about how to luer her out from hiding and it's worked. She plays with my other kitten, plays with me with toys, and has started roaming the house. The problem is she won't let me get near her. If she sees my hand coming or me coming too close she runs away, not under the bed anymore but just away. She sees me holding and petting the other kitten but it doesn't make much difference to her. She seems happy just being this way.

I know they were going to put her to sleep and wonder if maybe they put her in an isolated area that was scary and she relates that to humans. I was able to hold her at the shelter and thought she was fine then everything changed at home.

She cannot be inticed with treats or anything. She is strickly a dry food eater.

Has anyone had any experiences with this? Has anyone ever had a cat they can't touch?

She's been with me for 6 weeks

My 3 year old Lab mixed tested positive to heart worm. Her vet recorment to starting her on heart worm prevention program while I decide for treatment options.
The other Vet in few years back tell me not to put my dog on prevention medic unless it's tested for negtive, cause any present heart worm will reacted violently, and panatrating heart musle and kill the dog.

So, I have two deffrent opinions from vet. One, treatment, then reguler prevention program.
Another, Start the prevention program now to stop any more mosqito bite, until treatment started.

Both agree that the treatment is not garuntee, and it will take several years for the heart worm to over grow and kill the dog.
I need to decide to rather treat her with risk of loosing her, or let her live happily untill she die.
Do I have accurate information?
Help me!

Because usually it goes through the umbilical cord into a humans belly button. How does it get through to the kitten or puppy? Hmm bit of an odd one!

Ok I have 2 cats. My moms cat Zoe little miss thing. No matter what I am doing if she can get to my hair she attacks it. If i'm asleep she attacks. She has those little balls with the bells in it, the little catnip mice, and I have one of those fun wands that I play with her all the time. But she just cant leave my hair alone. And its not like its long, its only sholder lenght.

I've checked to see if her hair attacking has something to do with them being out of food and water. Nope they have plenty of water. Or even if the little box needs cleaned.
Oh ya and shes roughly 5 months old. She was a rescue from our local humane society. Any ideas?

My question is; Are newfoundland dogs known to be a constantly barking or howling breed? I rarely hear them and that is when something is wrong and I live with them. Now I must go to criminal court in my community for having barking dogs. Just want to know some facts on dogs. Are Newfy's known to be barking dogs?.
