We came home last night to find our dog had developed some sort of doggy pink eye. Uuugghh if I could get through just one year without extra trips to the vet. Trying to get to hold her head still so we can wipe the goop out of her eye is like trying to put a leotard on a toddler. :eyeroll:
We felt so bad yesterday when we finally got back from up north to find Stoli locked in our closet. We were in such a hurry to get up there that we couldn't remember if we saw her before we left. I'm just glad she's doing fine now. She was a bit disorientated but surprisingly doesn't avoid the closet. She actually follows us in there every time we open the door. Needless to say THAT will never happen again. :neutral:
I'm just glad it was for only 2 days and not the whole time we were up there this past week.
Here are two more replies. I just want to caution, I don't know these people personally, nor the sites they are recommending, but at least you might get some names of places to start checking out.
"I just saw your post on the pregnant cat, my friend wants to foster a pregnant cat for her children to experience it, currently the rescue group she was looking at doesn't have any pregnant cats if I found out the name of the rescue could they send her to them so she would be in a foster home? I will have the name of the group later tonight."
I will watch for their follow-up info and post it if they post again. I'd have a lot of questions for the latter situation! If the rescue checks out and they have approved the situation, and the home has a plan for the kittens, that might be OK.
Hey Ares - Did you guys go to the Pet Expo this past weekend? We were going to go on Sunday but my husband hurt his back bowling, so we couldn't make it.
didn't do us much good.... we ended up finding every disgusting doggie edible in the park... but no golden coins. Feel it is pretty safe to surmise that the golden coin does not contain chocolate :smile: So much for using collies as hunting dogs
Laser surgery is another option available for declawing your cat. Surgical lasers have been used for several years at veterinary colleges, but just recently has this technology become an affordable option for veterinary hospitals to offer to clients. A laser declaw surgery requires anesthesia and amputation of the bone and nails (as described above). However, a surgical laser can offer several advantages to a scalpel. As it cuts, the laser automatically seals small blood vessels and nerve endings around the cut, which means less bleeding and less pain. Patients can thus experience a quicker return to their normal activities.
Regular nail trimming can often diminish the destruction caused by your cat's scratching. This is a relatively simple task that you can do, but it must be performed properly and routinely. Ask your veterinarian to show you how to trim your cat's nails.
Nail coverings attach to the claws with a nontoxic adhesive and provide a blunt nail tip so scratching does not cause damage. About once a month, the coverings must be removed, the nails trimmed, and new coverings applied. You can do this yourself, or you can take your cat to your veterinarian to have it done.
awwwwwwwww
and awwwww - that photo is priceless.

Cute little black kitty:
"I will scratch you, big fat badass kitty, with my sharp pointy claws. See my sharp pointy claws, la, la, la, la, la...".
Big fat badass kitty:
"Heh"
only its the other way around.... the smaller cat, takes out the giant dog.
I love it...
sometimes I think I should video-tape their battles, and then sell copies at Sam Goody...
right between "Worlds deadliest street-fights" and "Homeless people beating up rich folks"

One suggestion was:
Feline Rescue
Another post was this:
"I just saw your post on the pregnant cat, my friend wants to foster a pregnant cat for her children to experience it, currently the rescue group she was looking at doesn't have any pregnant cats if I found out the name of the rescue could they send her to them so she would be in a foster home?
