Hi guys It has been a very long time since I've posted but you have all helped me through very difficult times in my life. Unfortunately, I am again at one of those times. My 12 yo Siamese, Simon, is not doing well. He is insulin dependent x 3 years and is now hyperthyroid. He is literally skin and ...

I couldn't agree more!! I appreciate the advice and support from everyone so much!! It doesn't matter how insignificant the question, you all are always ready to help at the drop of a hat. It is such a comfort knowing that when I don't like the answer I get from my vet or want an opinion on cat litt...

HUGE change in Callie!! I took everyone's advice about reminding both dogs who's boss. I researched online and applied some of Cesar Millan's techniques. I separated my dogs and started with Callie. I put her on a leash and made her be completely calm and submissive before I gave her any attention. ...

Both dogs were just at the vet for a check-up and shots at the end of August. I will look into the obstacle course idea. I bet they would really like that. Where do I find the dog backpacks? My hours have increased drastically over the last month but I think they will go back to normal very soon. It...

I also feel that Callie's behavior isn't one of protection. Why would this start out of the blue after all this time? Why does Calllie only show aggression when barking at other animals? They play with toys and still act like best buds. Roxy is very good about being passive towards Callie when she s...

I've only seen one attack but have heard several of them from inside. Callie will be barking and then all of a sudden just try to bite Roxy. Roxy runs away whining, usually into the house. Callie doesn't pursue her except maybe 2 steps, So far, no serious injuries. They are fine every other second;i...

I have a 5 yr old, spayed Mountain Cur and a 2 year old spayed Mountain Feist. Callie, the Cur, weighs 90 lbs and Roxy, the Feist, weighs about 12 lbs.They have always been best buds and are inseperable. They play together, eat together and even sleep together. when Roxy was a tiny puppy, she would ...

Thank you so much for your advice! I have a 150+ year old farm house and the furnace is an oil furnace. My basement is very big but does have concrete floors and walls. The furnace has a small amount of loose gravel around the base. I have 4 boxes placed in different locations in the basement. I wil...

Here's an update on Max... He's become extremely happy being an indoor kitty. He doesn't even try to go out anymore. Traci, I took your advice and put him in the litterbox first thing every morning and everytime I thought about it. A few weeks ago, he actually got closed in my living room-with my ne...

His inscision site looks great and is not swollen. The deworming was over a few weeks. The vet had me use prefender first and then I told her Max still had loose stool so she gave me the meds for coccidia. I read online that profender wasn't giving great results and I mentioned that to her and she g...
