Lohna, I would never use a chemical - even on healthy kitties. I use a flea comb - it takes a few days but it works. Just comb out the kitty and everytime you get a flea in the comb, dip it in hot soapy water. I did this in the bathroom with the door shut but gave the kitty lots of affection

Terri, My experience with this was when my orange girl Rosalie ate a semi- toxic plant. She got over it, thank heavens, but my vet x-rayed her to make sure she hadn't swallowed something. When she hadn't stopped vomiting for over 24 hours, he asked if he could do exploratory surgery in case

I would definitely try a little syringe feeding. A/D food for ill animals easily mixes with water. It may perk up his appetite. Cats who go too long without eating will get Hepatic Lipidosis. Bonnie www.elephants.com - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, August

I would go with the animal welfare groups over the breeders, although I know some of the latter, e.g. PETA, have done questionable things etc. But many breeders' organizations like the American Kennel club do give (for a fee?) papers to puppies raised in puppy mill like places, so the breeders

Jennifer, Has it been ruled out that Sebastian's rear leg weakness may be due to anemia? My kitty Fu gets a 10 mg.'s of pred a day and 200 ml of fluids. His vet said that would lead to suppression of his red cell blood count - Fu needs those meds more; sometime's his back legs look wobbly.
