Indulged Cats

Mostly cats and gardening. Juvenile chronic kidney disease tortitude, crazy wannabe cuddly tabby, and goofball longhair cats live here. Golden Retrievers are the best dogs.

In March my 103 year old Aunt got an amazing call. The POW/MIA Agency had recovered and identified her cousin, Elmer Blonien, who after the Bataan Death March perished in a Japanese POW camp in 1942. Pvt. Blonien was finally laid to rest today in his small hometown, Rudolf, WI. My Aunt, was there.

I'm home from the vet. Mom removed the bandage from my leg and tried to wash some of the alcohol off my belly and legs. Jeez, they must have spilled 1/2 a bottle of alcohol on me! And I got a tube of licky treat (salmon). Now I'll try to clean myself in the warm backyard.

Does bathing/swimming mean wash off topical antiparasitics for dogs/cats? Do dogs that swim a lot need more frequent treatment? tl:dr: No. Depending on the product, keeping them out of water for a few hours to a few days may be needed, but after that, they're fine. 1/n

Any info on risks to pets in vet clinics after a pet who is infected with multi-drug resistant bacteria visits the vet? The raw food die-hards put more than just their pet's health at risk. Too bad vets can't refuse these clients and minimize risks to their staff and the pets of other clients.
