Does it actually work??? My cat has fleas and has flakey skin and his hair is falling out in patches. I was told to try giving him a bath in dawn dish soap to kill the fleas instead of flea soap. Also should I put a small amount of conditioner on his fur after to help soften his fur??

well thanks for the advice. I've been scrubbing the heck out of them.. lol No wonder it got worse. I am also worried about scarring or that the hair wont grow back. the spots are still rust colored.. I can send pics if anyone wants to email.. I dont know how else to put them up here.. they are nasty looking just to warn you.

I think my cat has rabies. We found her today after she had been gone for 5 days. She was skinny, he head felt like there was skin missing under her fur and she was hissing and scratching and biting at everyone and everything. She scratched my mom but not badly. I tried to calm her by giving her treats but she hissed and tried to claw me. She has been hiding in the corners for a few hours. Im afraid because I have two baby (7 month) old cats and a 13 year old cat. The pysco one is 11. Tomorrow my school will be out for staff development. I think thats good so I can keep her away from the kittens, but if she bites me and she DOES have rabies there will be no one to take me to the doctors or whatever. No saliva...but her back legs seem weird and hunched. She is going mental. I am keeping the kittens away from her. (they think they are invincible so I don't want them to get bit.) The crazy cat has fleas (eww) too. Is it just that? Her flea collar is worn out. Im not sure. Help?

He has'nt eaten anything in a week and a half, he barely drinks any water and he stays in the coolest part of a 100 gallon aqaurium (mid 60's F). All lights have been replaced and the only other thing we have changed is adding a plastic plant to the corner that he likes to hide in which we realize might affect his mood but he was like this before we added the plant. Before we take him to a vet, can anyone let us know of any obvious things that we have overlooked. Any help would be much appreciated.

currently i am at an event barn in a great facility, and a trainer i love... but there are a few down sides...

there is 3 outdoor rings, and 3 grass places to ride and graze, but only one indoor, which is very small. there is about 80 horses at the facility but they're all from different barns and we all do differnt things [eventing, dressage, hunter, western pleasure] so once it gets to be cold and snowy we all have to ride together in the indoor and its a pain because the dressage people are always doing fancy things which take up alot of space, and the pleasure horses are on the rail not moving, and then its us and the hunters weaving and dodgeing the other horses, and my horse doesnt like other horses riding near him.
BUT this barn is GREAT i LOVE the trainer so much, we've basically re-trained my horse and we're doing so great together, and she's very careful about feeding and the horses health, i KNOW my horse is in good hands even when im not there, butttt this barn is 20...

They look fine... They don't really swim together much but arent hiding in corners or scared of the other fishies (which are just a few guppies... And a pleco...)
Let me know ;) Cheers!!

i'm in the northwest. should i buy from scamps, a cat adoption shelter (they will only let adopt if the cat will be 100% indoors, which ours will be 50/50), or the local humane society, which potentially uthenizes unwanted ones. which place is least likely to have cats with problems/ medical issues?

I understand why you all are against people breeding, especially people who are uneducated about the process, and their breed. However, I notice most people who respond to such things are quite rude, and impolite. While yes, the overpopulation is a big issue, there's many dogs in pounds. But they're not just mutts, there's pure breeds in there too. Hell, I've adopted a 4 year old husky from the pound, who had his papers and everything. So professional breeders who breed, be it for money, or themselves, or any reason are just as much to blame as backyard breeders. The only difference is is professional breeders are filling our pounds with Pure breeds, instead of mixed breeds.

Instead of calling someone the scum of the earth, or insulting them, try politely suggesting that they check the pound for something they'd want, before breeding, or buying from a breeder. instead of insulting them, or being rude.
