Thanks for that Tonya. After reading yr email I decided to remove the dry food bowl in "his" room. (He didn't eat it much apparently before he came so he won't miss it and it would not be good if he decided he preferred it). I was a little worried that he wasn't very active last 24 hours but

Chinese cat and dog fur

2005-10-30 Thread Lomaxturtle
Yes unfortunately very true. It is much cheaper to import cat and dog fur from china than fake fur. Last year I voiced my disgust at a couple of shops here in the uk for passing furry ball scarfs off as fake - they were not labelled and smelled like animal and you could see the animal skin it

ABC News, I think it was 20/20, also had a segment on the Chinese dog and cat fur trade and a video! There was a German Shepherd, tail happily wagging, being led off to his terrible fate and then it was filmed. Let's face it, all fur is cruel! Whether an wild animal is caught in a trap, has i

No, she doesn't get it. I can't give her any supplements that alter the ph of her urine right now. She had a struvite stone before, and then, maybe from making it too acidic, she got an ammonia urate stone, which is pretty rare, and we are trying to manage her ph now that the stone was remov

Isn't it odd how people talk about someone behaving "like an animal" when they behave in a particulary nasty way. No animal is capable of the horrors perpetrated by humans. I would like to see a huge campaign mounted to encourage a boycott of Chinese goods until they shape up. Since half the stuff

Question on diarrhea

So Lucy still has diarrhea, going on a week now. It started a few days before her surgery, I think from my switching her diets too quickly-- she had been on S/D only for about 6 weeks, and I stupidly switched her to S/O over only two days when it was clear her bladder stone was not struvite a

The Phillippines is also a source of cat fur. The ABC video showed a fur operation there. In a cage that had been full of cats, the last two terrified-looking cats were clinging to one another as workers took them out one by one and strangled them in front of the other cats. These cats knew wha

As you know, my Gypsy has chronic diarrhea.  Her nutrient absorption was so poor, that she almost starved to death.  We put her on everything the vets had to throw at her, Pred, Flagil, Baytril, Penicillin, etc.  Finally I got her off of dry and on to raw meat.  I started with duck breast and s
