    Hello,,
    I know that allethrin is highly toxic to bee’s,cats and fish..but not so much to people and birds.

    I do not know about dogs though. I know that it is an ingrediant that is common in horse fly spray as well. I am interested if someone can respond regarding dogs…

    I think my Brook got hers after her bath. We went for a walk and she rolled around on the grass like she normally does after her bath. But I was wondering…what if her tail wasn’t fully dry and the cold from the ground together… could that cause her problem. Everything was fine shortly after that but then she went to sleep for a while and when she got up that’s when I noticed her licking at her tail. I tried to touch it but she yelped. I went
    on line and got some information. I just want
    to be sure.

    throwing up little white pieces?

    find anything missing lately?  sounds like your dog might have eating something he shouldn’t have, and now has an obstruction.  i’d get to an emergency vet – something like this can’t wait for morning.

    this is an awful plan. water is more necessary than food to live. restrict water and you could cause even further problems.

My dog seems to droolong more than usual from the left side of his mouth. He seems ok otherwise, but he is definitely leaving a trail of drool wherever he goes.

    i’d guess this is a dental issue.  can you check his mouth to see if he’s broken a tooth or maybe has something stuck?

This Is Probably Not Part Of The Issue, But She Has A Lot Of Scabs…

This is probably not part of the issue, but she has a lot of scabs on her head, neck, and side. She would go outside around every other day and we don’t know where she goes or what she does so we don’t know if she is just getting into something. Thank you in advance!

The Cat Had Been Showing Up Nearly Daily. About Mid-February I Had To…

The cat had been showing up nearly daily. About mid-February I had to travel out of state. I made arrangements for someone to put out food for it. They never actually saw the cat and upon my return, I haven’t seen it since. The time we were away was the week when it stayed in single digit temperatures throughout the night. I had fixed up a box with a bedding and a light for warmth but it appeared to have been unused. Any advice? I’m really upset with myself that I didn’t do more to protect it from the environment.

    Sorry to hear of your concerns for this stray.  Often cats will move away if there is a shift in patterns.  So, this kitty may be a few streets over, being fed by a different person.  Or it may not have been stray at all, it might belong to a neighbor that finally decided to get serious about being a responsible cat owner and has made this kitty an indoor-cat.

    There is also the possibility that it got eaten by a coyote or Great Horned Owl.  Coyotes take a lot of cats in the fall and during cold snaps in the winter.  Great Horned Owls are starting families in Feb and so take larger prey as they prepare to nest.  This would have happened even if you had been home during that time.

    I think you did the best you could.  Cats are independent thinkers and just don’t always fall in line with our expectations.

My Sister Moved In 3 Years Ago With Her Dog And Then Left For 1…

My sister moved in 3 years ago with her dog and then left for 1 1/2 years. I’m getting her dog back and I was wondering if my dogs will remember her.

    From my experience, dogs remember things much better than we’d figure. Jasmine would need to meet a person just once and would remember them years later. She remembered EVERYTHING.

    I think your dog will remember her. I would still introduce them with the same rules as introduction of a new dog, though. On neutral territory and all that. Because remembering someone doesn’t automatically mean being happy to have them barge into your home.

  2. caroline challita

    Hi Cheryl, as Jana said they do remember alot! My dads dogs do recognize every singal person and even other pets years later. Also as Jana said keep in mind that recognising isnt enough (just like us humans) sometimes recognizing could mean something negative in their heads. Like a dog knowing that a certain pet will hurt her. I’ve noticed the recognition from the dogs reactions.

I Have A Very Skittish And Small Cat That Has Been Eating Off And On…

I have a very skittish and small cat that has been eating off and on for the last 2 weeks. She will come out for feeding but only eat a little but will revisit later to munch a little more. I’d say she is eating 50% of what she normally does. Nothing has changed- food, environment, placement, etc. I read how to safely put the cat in the crate, but our problem is just catching her. She only comes out from her basement territory for feeding and late night love when things are calm. She does sleep with us. I have tried trial runs to catch her but she either runs as I approach and darts through her basement cat door where she disappears or if I do get my hands on her she screams, wiggles, scratches and out of fear of hurting her or me I let go, those claws are sharp! In the evening during love time I blocked the cat door and tried to catch her, she flipped out. I tried enticing her with food and cat treats, she is too smart for that, lol. My wife can handle her more than I can and she too has tried without success. We have never been able to pick her up and hold her. She appears and acts perfectly normal. My wife is worried about her and if this continues, she thinks a vet visit may be in order (yet another vet visit, we should buy stock, lol). If we ever get her to the vet, she is their problem then, lol. She is 3 years old and other then when she was a kitten, has never been to the vet because of the above reasons. She is indoor only. Any advice on how to catch this wild crazy cat without hurting her or us?

    She sounds super cute and a handful 🙂 Dont have anything to add, but have an injured kitten that im handling who sounds very similar to yours before she got injured. Didn’t know a drop trap even existed until now. i like it! Will try finding one for my next vet visit.

I don’t worry about apologies. Sometimes people just “flip” for reasons we don’t know. You should see what happens on my FB group sometimes. My approach is to stick to the point and not get tangled up in anything else.

    And strangely this ended up being a question instead of a comment/reply. I think it might be a glitch.
