Hello Families of Animals,

With great concern I am writing in regards to the folks that have contacted me regarding feline leukemia and AIDS. My blog was simply for the sharing of information and how pets are responding to the LTCI drug. I am not a veterinarian nor am I formally trained in animal care...I just wanted a post to share information. The internet can be a great tool or a dangerous one depending on how it is used. With anything, even dietary changes you should consult your vet first.… Continue

Hello,

I have been contacted by a lot of folks who unfortunately had the diagnosis of feline leukemia or feline AIDs for their beloved cat. If anyone is interested in joining a support group to share not only medical information (what worked, what didn't), we could support each other in our efforts.

couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to.
And I had just seen Reggie's adve… Continue

First of all, I am a bit confused by some of these other blogs...are those folks unaware that this is a site dedicated to pets and the people they own? Sheesh!
Can I comment on pet toys? My cats and dogs happen to be the worlds most spoiled creatures. They have every new toy that comes out and there are baskets full of their play things in every corner. But, to be frank, I think they are over stimulated because my dogs have a (singular) toy they won't part with and the cats get bored after a few… Continue

Hello All,

As I mentioned on previous posts I rescue dogs and kittens in my neighborhood (spay, neuter, medical care). Recently we came across a sick cat that was so violently sick that we had to euthanize her. She had one kitten that initially seem to respond to our care (feeding etc...). He stopped eating but was still drinking well. His urine turned darker yellow signaling possible dehydration issues. We took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection with a feve… Continue
