Arnica is a homeopathic remedy. You can get it from a health food store, and it costs about $8. I order some remedies from ehealthland.com, or abchomeopathy.com. Drugstore.com may have it. I sympathize - just put vitamin E on my doggie's nose. She doesn't have enough energy to lick it off.

Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer to it. It is because not enough people care about them. The rescue I volunteer with is getting a cat back because the new owner doesn't think he is friendly enough. Would any of us not keep a cat for that reason? I don't think so.MaryChristine [EMAIL
