How do you figure a dog can come from a swampy area with the rear end completely wet and the front end dry?
She also is sore this evening, which might or might not be related as crazy active. No specific leg seems favored.
How long after application of K9 Advantix before safe to touch the area for humans or other dogs?
Yeah, there isn’t, I looked. We applied in AM because this is the first time and we wanted to make sure that we could catch our vet if some reaction to it. I hate using chemicals and always worry about reactions. Ideally I’d pick earlier in the week, but there were other reasons why we couldn’t do that. So at least this gives us today and tomorrow.
Ah, thank you so much! Great they are so responsive too!
We don’t have any cats. Also, our main concern are ticks, not fleas.
Yesterday, I switched my kitten, Si, to Prescription Diet canned food. He seems to like the food but he exhibits an odd behavior. When he is done eating, he tries to cover it up as he would if he were in the litter box. Any ideas?
CAN I PUT ANTIOBIOTIC OINTMENT ON MY CAT
My 3 yr old Pom has terrible breath, and has since I became his mommy 18 mos. ago. Will brushing his teeth, improve his breath, and remove the tarter on his teeth??? If so, what toothpaste do you recommend? Toothbrush or finger brush?
My cat was a rescue who was found with a broken pelvis. He has completed 7 weeks of cage rest and now I noticed a small area on his throat with no fur and he seems to scratch at it a lot. Can I treat this or should he be seen by a vet?
I have a 10 year old walker coon hound and he is acting very strange. He wanted in and out of the house all day, very dry nose and seems to be constipated even though he had an accident earlier in the house. What should I do to help him?
It’s Woof Wednesday in Wellness From Kipper’s Kitchen! (I had to wrestle Cody pup for a bite! 😉 ) Today’s post is a healthy treat for your furbaby! http://wellnessfromkipperskitchen.wordpress.com/2014/03/19/cinnamon-bun-pup-bites
Cookie just jumped off a snow bank and “fell”? to the sidewalk; I could hear the clunk but couldn’t really see what she hit in how fast it happened … assuming head … ? She seems fine, do I freak out?
Can rawhide chews contribute to incontinence?
Yes, it is a Cookie riddle. That’s exactly what she managed to do today, though. The farm dog she was exploring with was wet in a normal fashion. She managed to get just the rear end wet and she managed to get herself sore.
So I’m wondering whether those two are connected or happened independently.
The only way I can picture getting wet in that way would be falling with rear end only into the water while the front end still on rocks or something. Not that many rocks there, though …
Either way, she had a little too much fun.
She seemed to had been feeling fine by morning. Today she had another day there, but hung around (it’s the farm dog who leads her astray LOL)
She does get to have a lot of fun, every now and then too much fun. She also can’t stop if her life depended on it. She just has to keep going, can’t help herself. Will have to watch for that when living up at Jasmine’s ranch. Gonna have to do some “time out breaks” for her survival, I think.
