    OMG I'm fostering a parrot

    Diet and mental stimulation are the two most important things you can do for your parrot. I strongly reccommend an organic, pelleted diet supplemented with plenty of fruits and vegetables and also some heatlhy whole grain breads and pastas. Limit fats, salts, spices and sugars. Here is a...

    Poor Horsies *update in thread*

    Kudos for helping out a person in need. Maybe someday he will pay it forward. In the meantime, maybe you or the owner could scour the want ads such as Craigslist for free or low cost hay. I just got several bales of hay for free from a photographer who used it as a prop in a photo shoot...

    Very sick kitten :-(

    Your very first sentence totally alarmed me: My kitten (about 18 weeks old) has had diarrhea for three or four weeks now. Kittens that young are fragile. The next time you notice such an alarming symptom: take your pet to the vet sooner rather than later. It's chances of recovery are much...

    Another freakin dog fight thread....gross/graphic pics pg 3&4

    The only method that has never failed me for separating two fighting dogs is kind of gross: Insert a finger up their rear end. Don't jab it, just put it in there. Be prepared because the dog will whirl around, fast--that's when you grab it. It works best with one person for each dog...

    How do you store all of you feed?

    I use Gamma Vittles Vault containers for almost all of my feeds. They are the only containers that I have found that can keep out both ants and weevils. I've used almost every container mentioned in this thread without success, but the Vittles Vaults have worked perfectly, so far.... I use...

    Help me save my dog!!!!!!

    When my cat was in end stage renal failure I used slippery elm bark to soothe the sores in his throat and to coat his stomach. It helps with all kinds of eating disorders, allergies and intestinal upsets. It's sold in health food stores as a powder that you mix with water. I'm not sure of...

    Cat with toilet paper fetish.

    Place the mousetraps upside down--it takes a careful hand--or you risk snapping kitty's paw, tail or nose with it. Another aversion therapy item that works well for counters, couches and other flat surfaces is a plastic chair mat for office chairs on carpet. Turn it upside down so that all of...
