Our Cat Is About 8 Years Old, And We Got Her From The Humane Society…

Our cat is about 8 years old, and we got her from the humane society 2 years ago. Her problem is that she poops outside of the litter box frequently. Sometimes she poops in the box, sometimes not, sometimes on the couch, the table, the laundry, the floor, wherever. Never the same place twice. She’s not sick and doesn’t have worms, and she pees in the litter fine. We’ve tried different litter, moving it to different places, and nothing works. We are so confused by this cat! Help if you can please, thank you!

    Dr. Magnifico often suggests using dirt in the litterbox.  I would also have at least one other box on hand…most cats really don’t enjoy pooping where they pee.

    Does the litter box have a cover on it?  My vet told me one time that cats can become intolerable of their litter boxes if they are enclosed (have covers on them) no matter how much you scoop or change the litter.  That did the trick and did not happen anymore.

    You need to remove the tick.  If you aren’t comfortable doing so, take your dog to the vet NOW to have it removed.

    I’d rush him to the vet if I were you.  This sounds like an emergency, particularly the bit where he isn’t breathing right.

My Dog Ate A Used Tampon And The Person Who Used The Tampon Has Herpes…

My dog ate a used tampon and the person who used the tampon has herpes, is it possible for my dog to get herpes??

    No – the human version of the herpes virus is not transmissible to dogs.  I would be more worried about obstruction, depending on the size of your dog.

I’m Planning On Buying A Cat This Coming Semester. I’ll Be Living In A Fraternity…

I’m planning on buying a cat this coming semester. I’ll be living in a fraternity house with 20 or so other people. I was told that, when I inevitably move (likely in a year) the cat will mourn what it percieves to be the deaths of its former housemates, since it will not be seeing them around its living space any more.

    “Buy a cat. I presume you mean adopt a cat? ”
    Yes, you are correct.

    “It is too noisy, too chaotic,”
    I have considered this factor, actually. The house I’m living in is actually not loud or chaotic at all 99% of the time.

    “and there are too many people coming and going.”
    As long as they watch to make sure that the cat is not going to dart through the door when they exit, it should be fine, yes?

    “Most college kids lack resources for all of the possible needed pet care items, and especially lack resources should emergencies happen.”
    This is, obviously, something I have considered. I wouldn’t even think of adopting a cat unless I had secured a decently paying job and had sufficient savings to cover most emergencies.

    “I just strongly believe that this is not a stable, healthy, safe environment for a cat. I have seen too many misguided attempts at pets in college. Please wait until you are out of school.”
    I will certainly consider your advice and concerns seriously before I make this decision. Thank you for your time!

My Chihuahua Who Is Very Active Has His Left Rear Leg Dangling When He Walks…

My Chihuahua who is very active has his left rear leg dangling when he walks. He sometimes tries to stand on it but cannot. When he is outside peeing he tries to stand on it when he hikes and falls right over He is a inside dog. He does jump up on the couch but I have not seen him do anything out of the ordinary. He does not cry with pain but I am very concerned.

    Take him to the vet.  Whatever this is (and my unexperienced layperson’s opinion says it COULD be a luxating patella), it’s not something you can fix at home.  It may require surgery.
