Saw`a mouse last night in the bathroom (have very old house and live opp a forest) locked the cat in there last night. However, she has three legs, is a crap cat and didn't catch anything. How do I keep the cats pride and get rid of the pesky grey fiend?

Hello,
My little girl Holly (23lbs) need hip surgery. she had a knee replacement 2 years ago and her knee is super strong, but now her femur joints are slipping and both need to be replace. My question is my vet wants to operated on both at the same time. He has assured me thats procedure is done when both femur joints are slipping. She is in pain and is on rinadyl 25mg she gets half a pill every 12 hours. My question is my vet correct with performing the operation on both at the same time? Or is there anything else I can do to help her instead of the operation
Thanks
Sue

I have a dog that barks ocassionally and my neighbor has made several complaints to animal control. I have spoken with my other neighbors and no one else seems to notice or be bothered. What can animal control do, besides fine me? Can they take the dog?

Even though it says they are the same, it is not. It is browner, and doesn't work nearly as well. Wilbur, my cat, pointed it out to me.

Last week we bought a bird from a woman, she says he's an eclectus parrot, and that he could do the telephone, doorbell and video rewind. We haven't heard him speak yet and eclectus parrots are supposed to be the most talkative.. we've looked online, he's all green with a reddish orange beak, all the pictures of eclectus parrots have blue or red underneath the wings, and say that males should have that under thier wings, we know he's male, can anyone help with the breed?

It happens everyday...I mean, it happens a LOT. People bring in a sick pet, often with no vaccinations, often with something eminently preventable like heartworm disease, Often with a huge horrible tumor that they claim "Just showed up yesterday.".

I've worked at the cheapest vet in town and now I work at a more expensive one..and everytime this happens people act like I'm a bad person because I can't work for free. As often as this happens I'd be broke. I DO work for free at the local shelter and S.P.C. A, but I don't work for free for any pet with an owner.

I can help with payment plans and I take pet insurance. But people complain about vet bills, even at the cheap vet! It's the Pet owners responsibility to take care of the pet. Why blame the Vet because you adopted an animal and now it's sick? I mean, The Vet didn't give it cancer...cripes.

Losing faith in Humanity...

okey, so it's gray with black stripes all over it! I think I read somewhere that it has a close relative who's a bobcat. And what else... she eats a lot and she's very fat. She likes to meow a lot too.

I heard from a lot of people that cat's view their caretakers as their parents, which is why they come up to us when they need something (water changed,etc.). For all the cat lover's/owner's out there, what do you think of this??

I got a ten gallon tank with a filter and top today and I don't know what kind of fish to get. I will get a heater if I need one.

What other supplies will I need with the fish you are suggesting (besides gravel, plants, food, water conditioner and fish net)

A few years back my parents got a kitten that seemed to be healthy.

Well one day there was this spot on it's back that seemed raw and it was oozing pus or something.

Every day it seemed to get bigger and bigger until all of the cat's back had no fur on it, just this raw, oozy spot.

I live out of state and had no idea that they even had a cat, but I went home to visit and saw this poor thing like that and threatened to call animal control if they did not bring the cat to the vet.

The next day when I went over, the cat was gone. I asked what happened to it and they said they dropped it off at the humane society, but I honestly believe the either dropped the cat off somewhere else to die or shot it. I'll never know. :( He was a gorgeous cat and I would have taken him if I'd only known sooner.

Anyway, I was just sitting here thinking about the poor thing and wondering if anyone had any idea of what could have been wrong with it?

I work at a local veterinary Hospital that takes referrals. We got one that was a beautiful but very sick siamese female, ten years old. I didn't get to meet the owners before they dropped the kitty off, and usually if an animal is as ill as this kitty I prefer to speak with the owner.

Anyway, they left 3 contact numbers and said if anything happpened to the cat they would just die. Based on this we took some blood work. It's end stage kidney failure. The kitty looks like a skeleton and is dehydrated. It's vomiting blood from the renal toxins. It's going to die, but I started it on the basics until I could talk with the owners.

Well, All the contact numbers are out of service. They abandoned the cat at My hospital 3 days ago. By law around here, Abandonment is 10 days!

Maybe someone can explain what they were thinking? All they had to do was be honest and mature...I guess I'm asking too much but I don't get it...

Sad situation for the kitty.

I ordered an iguana cage online and I should receive it on Monday (they did come with one but I think it’s to small for them), I am feeding them lettuce and bananas but what do I do from there? I own dogs, birds, fish and snakes but I have never owned a lizard!


...
And also, they are not small…I would say just by looking at them that they are each over a foot long not including the tail.

Thanks!
