Has anyone used DAP diffusors for their dog(s)? I have a puppy with separation anxiety, and I'm thinking of trying it. I know Feliway is great, so thought it might be worth a shot...
Thanks.

Oh, and as for neutering solving the problem... it MAY help, but not always. The stray that I mentioned above is neutered, and still sprays. Also, female cats, even when spayed, and spray as well. ...

I agree with Koriani. It is very important to have at least a urinalysis done to rule out a urinary tract infection (UTI). Also, good food is also very important.
I have a cat that does the same...

Sometimes you have to go with "tough love." A dog will not starve itself if there is food available. It's hard to find foods to intise a dog with kidney problems to eat. I have a dog with kidney...

Hi
I had posted a question a while back about my puppy going to the bathroom in her crate, too. Everything that I've done to this point only helps for a few days, then she's right back to her old...

Some vets carry the Flea Stoppers, but you can also order it online. The best online price I've found so far is at www.pestproducts.com/flea_stoppers.htm.

First, flea collars are not a good idea - they really don't help much, and they can be toxic to cats. I recommend using Advantage or Frontline for cats.

The vet clinic I work for also has a...

Cats are unique - I rescued a 2 year old stray tom cat several years ago. I had him neutered and vaccinated right away and started trying to socialize him once he got home. He would allow me to pet...

I don't mean to scare the owner, but I feel it is necessary to make her aware of the serious side-effect that Baytril can have. As I said, too, I can't remember the exact doses and length of time...

I worked in a vet clinic that did a lot of orthopedic surgeries, especially ACL surgeries.
In a dog that size, we would not have done both knees at the same time. After that type of surgery, they...

Since moving, I keep in touch with one of the vets that I worked for. I asked him if about our debate about Baytril causing blindness in cats. He wrote back:
"Yes, at well described doses at...

I had a cat that was really sick for a while, and they put him on Baytril for a bit. All 5 vets at the clinic where I worked then warned of the risks of blindness with that antibiotic, and gave me a...

Baytril can cause blindness in cats. If I remember right, the risk is higher with high, long-term doses of it, though. You may want to ask about this and keep a close eye on the kitty if they do...

Hi
I agree with Labman. It's usually more about hormones starting to go, and about status and rank.
Many vets are safely neutering at younger ages now - we neuter as early as 4 months. The...

Hi
What you are describing is very common in cats that have fleas. Be sure you are using a flea control from a vet - Frontline and Advantage are the best. Even a few bites can cause them to go...

For a cat that age, I'd recommend taking him to the vet. It is common for them to start having thyroid problems when they get older, so that would be a good thing to check. Keep an eye on his...

Hi
I've never heard of Dachshunds having some crazy breed-specific hair loss like what you're describing. My first thoughts are fleas (although the hair loss is usually on the lower back and...

I agree with Labman. It all sounds pretty normal and like there's really nothing to "fix." Dry dog food is much better for the teeth and diet, so don't give any canned - or any human food.
As far...

Parakeets make a very large mess around their cage - I had two for a while, so I can tell you from experience. They are great beginner birds, especially for kids, as they are quite friendly and...

If you don't want the cats in your yard, the humane sprays, etc are best. Like everyone's been saying, you don't want to be responsible for a pet being picked up and ultimately euthanized.
I...

I wish the Kong would keep her busy that long! With the Pit Bull comes a very long tongue, so it's very easy for her to get the PB out quickly! Not to mention, she just split her Kong in half...

I also spoke to Cesar (see my 12/20/04 posting under "8 month old puppy still pooping in crate") about this problem with Charlie. I learned a lot about what may have happened that day and am feeling...

Here's another update...
Lily is started peeing and pooping in her crate again, despite all the changes we've made. Time for additional help!
Do you know of Cesar Millan? He has a show, The Dog...

Thought I'd throw out an update on Lily...
We have given her a new blanket in her crate, have put up a baby gate so our other dogs will stay in the room with her, and leave the radio on all day for...

Hi
I'm a vet tech, so I hope I can help a bit.
First, make sure to keep the kitten on a premium food such as Iams or Eukanuba kitten formulas. Also make sure she has plenty of fresh water at all...

I adopted a 2 year old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix from the shelter 2 and a half years ago. I have no idea what kind of background she had, but from what I've seen, it's not good. Charlie was...

Thanks for the help.
She is about 30-35 pounds now, and in a 36" crate. She has enough room to stand, turn around, and lay down, so it doesn't give her much empty space. I have a larger crate, and...

Hi
I foster many cats and kittens, so I am very familiar with your problem. The best thing to do for the kittens is to separate them from the mother for about 2 weeks - until she dries up and quits...

Hi.
I adopted an 8 week old Pit Bull mix from a pet store in July. From day one, she has peed and pooped in her crate nearly EVERY night. She did have coccida, but was treated and is now cleared. ...

Hi
I'm a vet tech, so I may be able to help you out, or at least give some advice on what MAY be going on. This is by no means any kind of diagnosis or treatment plan, but just my personal advice. ...

Hi.
I am a vet tech, so I can help you out a bit with giving those vaccines. First, you want to be very careful about buying vet products online. They are often counterfeit items, made to look...
