Cat Carrier Trauma

Monday, May 2, 2016
posted by Jim Murphy

CATMADCARRIERDo you have a cat, who gets tramatized when she sees her cat carrier? You’ve done everything from leaving it out and opening it in the house, you would put cat treats inside and a soft blanket but no use, she will not even consider it! You  usually bring her cat bed, and even put it on the back seat and have her lie in it without the pet carrier. This is not only dangerous because it’s tempting for you to keep  looking back to see that she is OK. It’s dangerous for a cat who is not at all secure in the event of even a minor collision!

Here is a method that might work for you.

Cats associate the carrier with a change of routine and so you must be very careful and try to outsmart them. Don’t bring the cat carrier out right before the trip. Bring the carrier out a day or two before you are leaving on your trip. Place a blanket, a snack and even some catnip inside which might entice them to investigate it. Cats hate being shoved in their carrier with the door slammed shut. If you see your cat go in on her own, close the door for a minute or two then open it again. This sometimes makes your trip a little easier.

Remember, your pets count!

Dogs Can Have Eye Problems

DOGEYESYou are tossing you dog some of his dog toys and notice that your dog is having some difficulty seeing the toy. Dogs are prone to eye diseases just as humans. Glaucoma is an eye disease that affects many humans but it doesn’t only affect us. It can also affect our dogs. It’s caused by a build up of fluid in the eye and is one of the most common causes of blindness in dogs. Did you know that Glaucoma strikes about 1 out of every 200 dogs? Some breeds are more at risk than others. They are Cocker Spaniels, Terriers, Basset Hounds and Beagles. The problem with this disease is that the symptoms are hard to spot. As with humans, an early diagnosis is critical to preventing blindness. Some signs that you may want to look for are cloudiness, redness or a glassiness in a dog’s eye. Some other symptoms may include tearing, a sensitivity to light or a dilated pupil. If you notice any of these problems with your dog, have him checked out by your veterinarian. The sooner the better. There is pet medication that can help if the disease is diagnosed early on.
