If she is happy in the basement, then that is where she should be. If she pushes the gate open and drags herself down the stairs to get there and purrs when she is there, then that is obviously where she wants to be. That is a good sign that she gets around that well. There are various things that y...

Rhonda, I had a similar experience with a cat. He seemed completely healthy until he suddenly had constipation and diarrhea and was diagnosed with cancerous tumors in his abdomen after x-rays, ultrasound, and aspirate. Apparently there are no symptoms until the tumors create enough pressure on the i...

Twenty years ago I had a puppy who found a way out of the backyard, was hit by a car, was in pain, and could not move. The x-ray showed that her back was broken. Two vets said that she could never stand or walk again and that euthenasia was the only option. I wish I had known then what I know now. T...

I found the following definition on the internet, using a google search. “AAFCO Definition: Chicken By-Product Meal ” Definition: Chicken by-product meal consists of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusi...

Carol, I saw in another post that you were having difficulties using paint to change the photo sizes. What part are you having trouble with? Once you have gotten to paint, select "file", then "open", then select your image. To change the size, click on "image", then cli...

Some dogs are as small as cats, so perhaps you could use the smallest dog size. Or, perhaps you could ue a sock intended for a newborn human infant. Or, maybe you could use the thumb section from an old pair of human gloves. Or, perhaps you could sew or knit something yourself. The hardest part woul...

I enlarged your picture, but the resolution isn't very high, so it doesn't come out very clear.

I have now experienced the same problem that you did, where you edit something, save it, but you see the old version when you go back to the original page. I believe this is due to viewing a cached page. To solve the problem, after you have saved the changes, close your browser window, open a new br...

Netterz, It sounds like you are doing a great job. I would certainly try some sort of paw boot before resorting to amputation. What did the police do about the "nutcase" who shot your dog? Did he realize he was shooting at your pet dog or did he think he was shooting a wild coyote? Did you...

There are various tools, such as Micrsoft Paint that you can use to edit images. On most home systems, you can find Microsoft Paint by clicking on "Start" in the lower left corner of your screen, then click on "All Programs", then click on "Accessories", then click on &...

Exactly what kind of surgery? Is the suspected cancer on the ear or in the ear? Was it biopsied? I had a 16-year old cat that had an ear problem and was otherwise healthy. I was told that the ear problem was likely due to a cancerous tumor inside the ear. The vet did a biopsy and the results were in...

I am not sure what you mean. It looks changed to me. When I looked at it before, there was only one paragraph and now there is more.

To enable you to find it without the link, I have provided a link on the main page of the wiki, as you requested. If you look in the middle section of the main wiki page, there is a section called, "Articles". Under that heading, there are links to all of the articles now, organized by cat...
