I have been supporting a local rescue shelter for two years and the animals do seem to be well cared for, but recently i have heard an alleged story of criminal activity going on there. Is there a national telephone number or...

    Thank god for the Bennington Veternary Clinic

    A couple of years back our main vet retired and sold to some doctors who i feel are less than caring about their patients and are strickly in business to make money. This forced us to look farther away from home for a doctor who cares. If there was an emergency(like one of my critter kids gets...

    what are safe over-the-counter remedies for cats with diaherrea?

    We have recently switched to a new vet, so we are trying a new treatment for Agnes. We shelled out some more money for tests and at least this time we found out that her problem is a diseased large intestine. For now her treatment is a high fiber diet consisting of food from the vet, Hill's...

    what are safe over-the-counter remedies for cats with diaherrea?

    Well folks, the last two weeks Agnes has had regular bowel movements. I really believe what gave her "a nervous intestional system" are her brothers. Now that the 4 of them go outside on a regular basis, she and her sister have the house to themselves. They can eat, sleep, play, and use the...

    what are safe over-the-counter remedies for cats with diaherrea?

    Agnes has finished her perscription diet and is still the same. Just a few days ago i put her back on Iams lamb and rice which is what the rest of the kids eat.

    what are safe over-the-counter remedies for cats with diaherrea?

    I wish i could say everything is purrfect for Agnes, but she still has loose poops. The good news is the stools(sp?) are slightly more solid than when her troubles first started. The vet is willing to give her another steroid shot,which has worked in the past, but i am reluctant to do this...

    what are safe over-the-counter remedies for cats with diaherrea?

    Well, after 4 months of different diets, antibiotics, and expensive trips to the vet, Agnes still has loose poops. She did improve recently when the vet gave her an injection of steroids, but that lowered her immune system and gave her a cold. She did have 2 weeks of normal bowel movements...

    My cats eartips are drooping! Please help

    Aside from the tips "folding over", do they look kind of wrinklely? I took one of mine to a vet, and he had the same problem with both ears and the vet told me it was "Cauliflower Ear" like the fighters get. This happened to Norman when he slid off the back of the sofa and got wedge between the...

    Ugh, pricey flea protection!

    Hi folks, It seems as if all the good ideas are already out here. The best bet is to change vets. You can always use your vet that you have now for emergencies, if they are the closest service available, and just go to another for shots and meds. We have to do this because i can't afford flea...

    I just want to thank you people with all my heart. I really didn't expect such quick replies. I have to continue with the Flagyl for Agnes for 6 more days.
