    How long till hair grows back?

    5 months for my little girl. She had her belly and surrounding flanks shaved so that the back third of her body it looked like she was coifed like a little lioness. After months of no new fur growth cited, the vet told me it may not ever grow back (!). But, I'm pleased to report that after over...

    opinions on warm jacket for a cat

    cat won't eat vet prescribed FortiFlora
