Puppies!
We have 5 stocky elkhound puppies that are now 5 weeks old. One female is in the bunch. They are such a joy! I'll have to figure out how to do a video link on here again. They are so short legged. It's funny watching them run around.

My cat seems to have an allergy - itchy skin
My cat is overall healthy, but he is itching too much. It could be dry skin but he has episodes of this, so I am thinking it's an allergy. Does anyone have any suggestions to help? If it does not clear up I will take him to the vet, but he really does not like going to the vet.

when the shelves are bear for our fur babies as well, what would be a good route for me to feed them as well off grid? I am assuming starting a rabbitry.

Essential oils and cats?
I love the idea of using essential oils. They are natural, and smell wonderful. I want to use them to make my own cleaning and body care products as well as to freshen the air. My big problem is we have 3 cats. And 3 rabbits. I have heard that essential oils can be dangerous to cats and so I'm too afraid to start using…

Cat food recipes
@JennyT Upstate South Carolina I have several different cat food recipes. I like homemade food because i know what is in it and its as close to chemical free as you can get. I prefer chicken and meat recipes but do a few fish. My selection is also based on what I can get at a good price. Butcher shops and delis might sell…

Bobcat fever

The next day I took him to the vet and the next day he was dead. I do not know much about this except it kills and it kills quick. I love my…

Natural Deworming?
So I found out that at least one of my kittens has worms. I'm fairly certain it's tapeworms. I will go the medication route if I have to, but I want to try something natural first. I've read a few different remedies online(parsley tea and ground pumpkin seed are ones I keep coming across), but I wondered if any of you has…

Advice on a klepto-kitty?
This is Bodthvarr Bjarki the Berserker--a fine big ginger boy, already 15 pounds and only 9 months old! Asleep, he is the sweetest kitty possible. Awake, he is constantly busy living up to his name--and like any Viking, his specialty is stealing stuff and stashing it in secret hiding places. At first it was his siblings'…

Calming a Neurotic Cat
Does anyone have any suggestions to keep a cat from licking incessantly. We have tried hops, valerian and oatstraw and nothing seems to calm her. We spend hours a day holding her and reassuring her but the minute she gets down from our laps she starts in again. I even give her catnip treats. Not only does the licking get…

Catnip and dogs
Did you know that Catnip has the reverse affect on dogs as opposed to how it works on cats? Catnip makes cats hyper and crazy. It actually works as a sedative on dogs. The reason I know this is our puppy has severe separation anxiety, especially at night. She was playing with one of our cats' catnip mice the other night…
