The latest treatment options are just not working with my old cat, Luciano. I'm having a hard time with this even though I knew that his kidney failure would eventually bring me to this place. He has just really decline in the last couple of weeks and although still eating, losing weight. I'm going to switch to another brand of Rx kidney cat food- but I just don't feel good about him.

Brining him in for another check with the vet on Tuesday. I hate it that finances do have an impact on what I can and cannot do for him. I have to consider the well being of 2 other pets, one of which is having some problems, too.

Is there a furkid lawyer here on the planet, or someone who knows about setting up trust funds for furbabies?

Heart attack? Crap.

Not to sound too blunt, but you said the dogs were overweight. Perhaps your friend should consider cutting back on the snacks and reduce their food intake.

People don't realize that obesity in a dog is just as dangerous as it is in humans. Jack Russells typically live 13-15 years and you said your friend's dog was only about 4 years old.

I actually considered writing a post today about the dangers of overweight pets, but I worried about people being offended by it. We love them, but we shouldn't love them with food. Also, dogs must be walked for health. Having a large yard is no different from us just walking around during the day. Dogs need regular, focused exercise, just like we do. Our dogs rely on us to keep them healthy because they cannot make that choice for themselves.

I am very sorry for your friend, his/her heart must be breaking. :( I am sure it is hard for that dog's sibling too.

Thanks for the update. I am a Jack Russell person, so I was curious.

Puppy Mill - 46 counts of animal cruelty against woman
 
I hate puppy mills. So, it always pleases me to see another go out of business. This particular woman was arrested in 2004, but charges were dropped when her husband was convicted. I suppose they saw her as being a victim herself of a husband who kept dogs in horrible conditions. :seeingstars:

118 dogs total were taken from the woman's land. All small breeds, of course. Smaller dogs take up less real estate. More producing dogs = more cash, don't cha know. Assholes. Like I said, I hate puppy mills.

If you MUST have a puppy (instead of an adult dog rescue), visit the breeder. Lots of pretty sites on the internet are actually puppy mills. Know your breeder.

Kentucky Woman Charged in Puppy Mill Case; Neglected Dogs Receiving Care

The ASPCA is committed to puppy mill victims like this one, rescued in Holly Springs, MS, in 2010.

Earlier this month, News Alert reported that the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team was on the ground in Rowan County, Kentucky, caring for more than 100 dogs rescued from a puppy mill. Soon after, the owner of those dogs, Patricia Blevins, was arrested. She now faces a whopping 46 counts of animal cruelty.

Blevins, 58, was arrested on October 19 and spent a night in jail before being released on bail. She is charged with 46 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty and one count of kennel mismanagement related to keeping more than 100 dogs in overcrowded conditions outside her mobile home in Morehead.

"The ASPCA commends the Rowan County Attorney's Office for taking swift action in pursuing this case," says Kyle Held, ASPCA Midwest Director of Field Investigations and Response. "We're pleased that they're treating the issue of puppy mills with the seriousness it deserves."

This isn’t Blevins’ first time in court for animal cruelty; she was reportedly charged with the crime in 2004, but the charges against her were dropped when her husband was convicted.

Says Held: “We hope that justice is served so the dogs can move on toward a better life soon."

Because the dogs are part of an ongoing criminal investigation, they are not yet available for adoption, but they are already worlds away from the unsanitary and claustrophobic conditions they lived in before their rescue. Today, they are being cared for by ASPCA responders and volunteers from Red Rover and other organizations, receiving veterinary care, treats, toys and loads of human kindness.

Last week, to help make room for the puppy mill victims, the ASPCA transported 27 dogs from the Rowan County Humane Society to Capital Area Humane Society in Columbus, Ohio, and St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, New Jersey.

Stay tuned to ASPCA.org for more on this developing case. To find out how you can fight puppy mills, please visit www.nopetstorepuppies.com.

Hi, Rockin'. I am so sorry this happened to your Pug. I'm sorry I don't have any advice beyond just asking your Vet what they reccomend if it happens again. Did they send you home with any medication or give you any information?

Hang in there. I would be stressed out too.

All you can do is hope, pray (if you pray), take care of her and take care of you. Take her on daily walks for activity. Hopefully, as each day passes and she does ok you will be able to relax and worry less.

Hi Dapper,yeah she was pretty active when she got home,then she pooped out and is now sleeping.After I had supper I scooped up three full table spoons of ground beef pedigree dog food for her ,some she ate on her own some she ate cause I put it in her mouth and said ..swallow,then I got 15cc's of water down her buy gently squirting some in her mouth then she licked the rest up.Not eating isnt an option at the moment,tomorrow im going to se if any liquid vitimins will help.

Bassett Hounds!
 
OMG! I just finished four days of bunny chasing with the Bassett Hound club. Happy, tired, no ribbons, but happy! My little girl was so pre-occupied with other things, but the most importantly she had so much fun. Don't worry, we only follow the scent of the rabbits because Bassett's are scent hounds not sight hounds. Would want to ruffle anyone's feathers.

Can't wait till the next field trails!

I was sorry to read this in the other thread, Rockin. I know it must be very painful. I am very sorry for your loss.

A side thought, what about taking your friend's other jack russell? Both have lost a buddy. Maybe it would be a good for them both.
