I suppose this is pretty odd. My 5 month old lab got into the chicken pen two days ago. He killed 3 chickens and hurt two others. Of those, one had a puncture wound on its neck and was exhibiting signs of shock. After wound cleaning I applied Neosporin, caged her seperate from other hens in quiet warm place and hoped for the best. So far she is doing well and eating drinking etc. She is getting antibiotics through her water. The other chicken, well I guess this is weird. She had a gaping 2 inch long wound in the back of her neck fully exposing her neck muscles. Despite the significant damage, she was remarkable alert and responsive. I made the choice that I could not j ...

Now what do i do?

I want to adopt a cat. My boyfriend is reluctant because the previous cat who lived at the house use to not make the litter box at times, especially as she got older. He is afraid that the new cat will still smell the spots from the old cat and will then start doing the same thing. Even though the carpets have been replaced since the old cat died.

need advice on symptoms
Posted on 2008/05/12 by User6 yr old male - strictly indoor. Six days ago he threw up two pinky sized fur balls. The next 2 days were dry heaves. The last two days are hacking-gurgling-wheezing sounds that start strong and taper off to a wet gurgle sound. He eats little to none - we're giving him baby food. He has not drank any water. When I wet his mouth with water drops, he reacts with the "hacking" after he licks the water. He went to the vet 2 days ago. Nothing shows on the xrays. No fever. He's urniated 3-4 times since his vet visit Saturday, and has had only one finger sized stool in the past 5 days. Any idea what this sounds like? A barium series and/or explority surgury ...

cats for immunospressed children
Posted on 2008/04/11 by UserI have heard that cats can be dangerous for those with suppressed immune systems. I have a child who takes steroids on a daily basis. Since this would classify my child as having a suppressed immune system, I was wondering if owning a cat is not worth the risk. We have a small dog and never had a problem, but we would like to have a cat as well. For every article that states that owning a cat can be potentially dangerous, I have read articles that state that having an indoor cat only requires proper precautions, such as the child never cleaning the litter box. What do you think, is owning a cat too risky??? Thanks! Eddie

urine & incontinence
Posted on 2008/03/02 by UserWe have a Golden Retriever. Everytime someone comes to visit, if we don't put him in his cage he will urinate all over the carpet. What is the reason for this? He is 3 years old and did it the day I brought him home. He was 1 yr. old then.
