** DONNA'S COMMENTS **

I hope you're having a very Merry Christmas. Our pets are enjoying the
extra attention of the season.

Christmas is a wonderful time of memories and fun activities. If the spirit
of Christmas could remain all year long, we would surely have less anger and
hatred in our world. And with that we would understand how to live and love
all that is around us.

In the words of Albert Schweitzer:
"Man can no longer live for himself alone. We must realize that all life is
valuable and that we are united to all life. From this knowledge comes our
spiritual relationship with the universe."

Praying that you will have a Joyful Holiday Season!
Donna

FEEDING RATS, MICE, HAMSTERS, & GERBILS

Owners of small rodents must obtain feed from the array of colorful boxes of
food and supplements at the pet store. Included among these feed may be seed
mixtures, seeds mixed with vitamin and mineral pellets (often ignored by the
pet), hay cubes, pelleted complete diets, salt blocks, pieces of chewable
wood, and a variety of treat foods that lure the unsuspecting buyer because
those treats resemble the snack foods preferred by pet owners.

** SUCCESS STORY **

SKIN ALLERGIES

"I bought some of the SKN-AV because my dog was having horrible problems
with his skin and the vet wasn't having any success. I used 4 capsules two
times a day for the first week and then used 2 capsules two times a day
thereafter and couldnt believe the results that were evident in just a few
weeks. Her coat is again looking beautiful with the hair grown back in."
Carolyn

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL ISSUE **

BUT...HE DOESN'T LIKE IT
The Uncooperative Cat

What can be done with an uncooperative cat when you need to give medication,
trim nails, or brush out dead hair? Here are a few suggestions:

If you have the opportunity of starting with your cat as a kitten, practice
by opening his mouth and massaging his teeth and gums. Ears and paws should
also be gently massaged.

Introduce new grooming activities one at a time; take baby steps to attain
your goal. If the cat's coat is badly matted, consider giving yourself and
the cat a "fresh start" by having the cat shaved by a groomer and then
maintaining the coat yourself as it grows back.

Use treats, praise, and petting to let your pet know that you approve of his
tolerant behavior. Never scold--keep the experience positive. Try to stay
business-like throughout any procedure, so that you are not inadvertantly
reinforcing the cat's fear with too much sympathy.

Ask your veterinarian to describe to you or to show you techniques for
giving your cat a pill, a liquid medication, and ear or eye drops. Be
patient, gentle and firm when giving medications.

While working with the cat to condition it to accept various types of
handling, be sensitive to the cat's reactions and DON'T try to hold onto a
cat that is becoming irritated (tense body, flattened ears, twitching tail)..
Let an annoyed cat have his way and try again later. A frightened or angry
cat can hurt you and a bad experience for the cat can reduce your chance of
success next time. The key is to keep this training to short, positive
sessions.
