Light Corn Syrup for Giving Kittens Amoxicillin

By Robyn

bottle of corn syrupA great way to give kittens pills is to measure the right amount of medicine for their weight, and then mix it with a dab of light corn syrup and smear it on their lips or front leg, by their paw. They will be compelled to lick it off.

Breed Information: Miniature Schnauzer

By EllenB

closeup of one with cropped earsThis version of the Schnauzer retains all of the characteristics of the standard-sized Schnauzer-a square shaped body, wiry coat, v-shaped ears, bushy eyebrows, a prominent beard and a large black nose. This affectionate, obedient breed is playful and alert and makes an ideal small companion dog.

Today's Questions
Getting Rid of Fleas on Cats
I gave my cat a bath in Dawn dish soap to kill the fleas, but he will not let me comb him to get the fleas out of his fur. I just want to know if they will come back to life or not if I don't get them out of his fur.
Gravy and Sauce Recipes for Cats
My 5 month old kitten keeps bugging me for wet food at meal times, but turns her nose up to most of the food I try to feed her. She does seem to like food with gravy, broth and sauces, though. She usually licks up the sauce, and leaves the meat. Does anyone know some good gravy, broth and/or sauce recipes out there?
Two Month Old Puppy Died Suddenly
My puppy of about 9 or 10 weeks suddenly died this morning. He went outside to go to the bathroom, came back in, and he was lying down as though he was asleep. He had white foam in his mouth. He was out there for like 3 minutes. My kids killed a slug last night. I noticed it wasn't there anymore; could that be it?
Dog Pees in Crate if It Has Bedding in It
I have an 11 year old dog that only pees in her kennel if there is bedding in it. It can be a towel, doggy bed, etc., but if it is just the plastic crate bottom nothing. She does not pee in the house and sleeps with us at night and we have no issues. What the heck is going on and how to I fix it?
