One of the best things that we’ve done, is to adopt our cat Atlantis from a neighbor who was very ill at the time. He’s fifteen and is giving us so much love and affection that it has really made our lives better. He is sweet and now has a good home with a family who loves and cares for him.

Cats that are over ten are considered elderly but there are some real benefits in choosing to adopt an older cat.

• You are doing the animal a wonderful act of kindness. Older cats are much less likely to get adopted and the shelters cannot keep them indefinitely.
• Older cats are generally calmer and don’t have some the behavior problems that younger cats may have.
• Personality – Older cats are more mellow and make great companions. They will sit on your lap and purr you to sleep!
• Older cats are less likely to hunt and get themselves into trouble. Although I would always suggest that you keep your cat indoors.
• A senior cat is  also less likely to get underfoot as kittens frequently do.
• An older cat will be completely house trained.

So consider doing a world of service to an older cat by offering her a wonderful new home. You won’t regret it. They may be older but they still have lots of love to give.

Large and giant breed dogs are most at risk for developing bone cancer, probably because their bones grow so rapidly.  It’s most common in middle aged to older dogs. The tumor usually forms on a limb causing a lot of pain and lameness.  Front legs are affected about twice as often as back legs.  Bone cancer spreads quickly, often to the lungs.  The sooner that you take your dog to the veterinarian, the better the chances that the treatment will be effective.  Veterinarians diagnose the cancer with X Rays and sometimes a bone biopsy.  Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may be used to try to keep the cancer from spreading and to ease the dog’s pain. If your dog does develop any symptoms, don’t try to diagnose his problem by yourself and never give him any pet medication. Take him to your vet right away!

Cats shows have more rings than a circus!  The judges award best in show in every ring. If that sounds confusing, remember, each ring is a separate show all within the bigger event.  You’ll see all kinds of cats, long hairs and short hairs. Pedigreed cats are judged by a very specific set of breed standards. Some shows have a household pet class where the judging is more selective. Toward the end, the judges narrow down their favorites to the ten best cats. Finally, just one, the best cat in show gets lots of cheers are applause. Cat shows are never dull whether you’re window shopping for a new pet or just there for the spectacle. After that show, your cat deserves lost of treats and pampering. Remember, your pets count!

Some cats are naturally slim, like my younger cat Millie. They are perfectly healthy at this weight. Many times I thought that she was a little too thin but now I realize that this is just the right weight for her. As she’s aging, she’s gained a bit more weight.  Other cats who appear thin may not be eating enough or may have a health issue. To check your cat for undernourishment, place your thumb on the cats spine and run your fingers lightly along both side of her rib cage. You should be able to feel a thin layer of fat between your finger and her ribs. The ribs should not be visible. Unlike a dog, slightly protruding shoulder blades are normal for a cat. When viewed from above, like a dog, your cat should have an hourglass shape. If your underweight cat seems to have a normal feeding routine and she seems to be eating, take her in for an exam. Your veterinarian can also help you analyze your cat’s diet.

Divorce is one of the most stressful times in anyone’s life but it can also be very stressful for your dog.  A dog is a social animal bonded to a family routine and a way of life.  Our dogs rely on us for their physical, mental and emotional welfare.  Unfortunately, our dogs are never given consideration when it comes to our family matters.  Most people don’t say “Lets not scream, the dog is in the other room.” But you know what? They should say this. Our behavior can cause our pets a lot of stress that could affect their overall health.  Our moods and tantrums have a very negative affect on our dogs. They don’t deserve it!  When I am stressed especially during the unprecedented  political climate , it affects my cats and I do feel guilty because I know that they are stressed out as much as me.

If a dog is suddenly becoming destructive,  or is howling and barking a lot, Animal Behaviorists will ask if there was a divorce or death in the family. Remember our animals can sense when something is wrong.   Have consideration for your pet. Keep him healthy and happy and off of pet medication.

If your cat has worms, there are some signs to look for. Some of these signs could be indicative of other common cat diseases. In any case if your cat is exhibiting any of these symptoms, get him/her to a vet as soon as possible.

When you groom your dog, you do more than just make them look pretty. It’s also a good opportunity to check for any health issues that should be addressed by a veterinarian. For example, you should keep a protective eye on her paws. When you groom your dog, carefully check the pads on her feet. Sometimes they could become injured or inflamed, especially if your dog is walking on rough ground or stepped into some kind of irritating chemical. Keep an eye out for painful, broken nails that could become infected. Brittle nails should also prompt you to call a professional because they indicate a fungal infection or a nutritional deficiency. If you notice anything unusual, have it checked by a veterinarian.

Our cat Atlantis got sick in January, he stopped eating, vomited, had frequent diarrhea and lost some weight. We took him to the vet quite often until things finally were under control. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and kidney disease. His symptoms did not improve after the first few visits. When he began to improve we were able to stop the frequent visits and schedule regular six month check ups.  After your cat is diagnosed with kidney disease, your visits to your vet will increase. If the cat’s illness is under control, you should schedule regular six month checkups. Blood tests will be run to determine whether or not the disease has advanced. His medication may be adjusted and of course his vital signs and weight will be checked. It’s important to stay on top of feline kidney disease.

Since the time of diagnosis, Atlantis has greatly improved. He gained over a pound, he has a robust appetite, he is alert and behaving like a “normal” cat. We are so pleased. Atlantis is on a medication to control his thyroid but is not on any prescription medication for his kidneys. So why the big change? I believe it’s a combination of things. The Methimazole  is controlling his thyroid but I believe that the Astro’s Oil products that I’m giving him are doing wonders to keep his condition under control. The major improvements are due to these products. I’ve been talking about Astro’s oil quite a bit. I started using on my cat Molly when she was diagnosed with kidney disease. The product gave Molly five extra years of a good quality life.

Astro’s oil products are all natural and were developed by a doctor in Canada. I will provide the link for you . You may also place an order using the link.  You will find the  interesting story of how Astro’s Oil was developed on the website.

When a dog’s prostate becomes enlarged, it becomes a target for cysts and infections. You can tell whether or not your dog has a problem with his prostate. He will strain to urinate or he could have blood in his urine.  If his case is severe, he could become very ill or even collapse. Prostate disease is most common in non neutered dogs.  Even so,  all male dogs should be examined annually for prostate disease especially if the dog is a little older. Your vet will determine whether the prostate is the appropriate size and in the right position and whether it’s irregular or smooth. If your vet finds any abnormalities, medication, surgery or neutering may be recommended to correct the problem.

The thought of walking into a crowded vets office with loud barking dogs and people waiting could be very unnerving during this pandemic. Personally, I was due to take my cat Atlantis to the vet this month. I decided to postpone his appointment and quite frankly, I don’t know why. He’s due to go next month and our situation will surely be the same. In unusual situations like this, fear takes over as it has with me.

Here’s the good news. I found out that our vet has a pretty good system in place. An appointment is set up, you stay in your car and the vet assistant comes out, talks with you and  then take the pet inside for his visit.  You stay in your car and after your pets visit, the vet takes your pet back out to you and goes over the results of any tests and discusses  treatment options and prescribes medications.

This is clearly a much safer approach. Please if you are nervous about taking your pet to the vet, check their procedures during the pandemic and if you’re not comfortable, possibly seek another vet.
