Pick Up Leftover Outside Pet Food

By likekinds

possum in a trapI have a neighbor who was country born and country bred. His cat is never allowed in the house. He feeds the cat outside, near his back door. I don't think he realizes that the food the cat leaves behind attracts flies, mice, rats, and other pests, including possums.

Bathing a Cat with Fleas

By Kim Gratton T.

Bathing a Cat with Fleas - sopping kittenI found it easiest to put 1/4 cup of original blue Dawn and fill the kitchen sink. Do the forehead, under the chin, and cheeks first. Try your best not to get it in the eyes, nose, mouth or ears.

Tips For Getting Water To Sick Puppies
If you can't get your puppy to drink water, try ice cubes. I found that I can get my puppy to even lick Pedialite in ice cube form. Hope this helps!
Heating Pad for Animals
If you're needing to keep a small animal warm, but you find a heating pad for humans to be too hot, simply fill a glass bottle with warm water.
Dilute Shampoo When Bathing Your Pet
When bathing your dog or cat, dilute the shampoo with water so it is a 1:1 ratio. Then pour the mixture in a clean spray bottle.

Caring for a Puppy with Parvo
I have a puppy about 3 months old. He came down with parvo 4 days ago and he still doesn't want to eat, but he drinks a little bit of water. I have been giving him IV, antibiotics, and Pedialyte. I also bought him some charcoal capsules. I would just like to know how long will it take for it to go away.
