Pilling cats in this household is so much fun! NOT! Formerly feral cats, I have two that take a lot of time to corral, reassure and then pill. I keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide close at hand for my bloody arms and fingers.
We just went through and de-wormed the bunch. There were […]
“Incorrigible Kitty” those were the words used on the phone when the gal was telling me about her 7 week old kitten that bites. Apparently this kitten bites so hard that they were thinking of euthanizing him! I suspect the problem lies with the owners, not with the kitten. The woman has requested […]
About a week ago on the trail with Leah we both saw an owl. I was startled at the sighting, not that owls are rare in Oregon, but the time of day that the owl flew ahead of me on the trail. It was 2:00 in the afternoon. To my knowledge, owls only […]
I have been taking our German shepherd puppy Leah into the woods in the morning and also at dusk. This walk has helped her considerably to mellow down some of her more enthusiastic characteristis.
The other morning, we came over the hill and started into the curved path to the woods. Suddenly, I see this […]
We had a bit of a scare recently when Taylor started crashing. I don’t know what it is, but when my bottle babies start to fade, everything I know just flies out of my head! If someone contacts me about a problem with a kitten, I can give advice without hesitation. But when it happens […]
Taylor has now come down with diarrhea and leaky butt syndrome. I called the vet and we are now on a treatment of Panacur for two days. I hope this works, these poor kittens, their bums are so sore and they cry when they use the litter pan. I switched out […]
McKinley has come down with a puzzling bout of diarrhea. There is nothing jumping out in the fecals, he is bright, alert, playing, drinking, eating. No fever, just this diarrhea. I have tried several different things to help him stop this- flagyll (in case it is coccidia) because coccidia doesn’t always show in the […]
After making myself hoarse by using my special kitty call, Cleo has shown up! He is limping, but examination revealed a thorn between his pad that was removed. I was so glad to see him! We had a great snuggle time and he ate well then vanished off into the bushes. Darn […]
After twelve year’s of living out-of-doors, I fear that something has happened to our sweet Manx-cross Cleo. It has been over a week since I have seen him. The land where he chose to live (under a deserted barn) has been sold, trees cut down, building demolished. I keep looking for him, but […]
