** DONNA'S COMMENTS **

One of the many heartbreaking issues of pet lovers is the issue of
declawing. It's surprising in the 21st Century, that many otherwise
intelligent and enlightened people do not comprehend what is meant by
"declawing" a cat, and therefore are incapable of making an informed
decision about this surgery.

DECLAWING TO BECOME A LEGAL ISSUE?

There has been a proposal and a petition for legislation on the State level,
making full disclosure mandatory prior to the performance of this mutilating
surgery, which is presently treated as casually as neutering by many
veterinarians. Read more about it.....

** HEALTH/HERBAL INFO **

RINGWORM: A PERSISTENT PROBLEM

"The classic case of ringworm looks like a rapidly growing circular patch of
broken hair with an inflamed margin and hair returning in the center," says
Dr. Karen Campbell, veterinary dermatologist. "This fungal infection is
easily transmitted to humans. In one study, 50% of persons in contact
with infected cats in their households developed infections. Children and
young animals are most susceptible."

Herbally, Pau d'Arco has been very successful for fungal problems. It comes
in capsules and liquid and even in a cream for topical application. Working
from the inside out is a good course of action with a topical application
considered as an additional option.

Pau d'Arco has been used for tumors, polyps, pain, fungus, warts, skin
eruptions, yeast problems, anemia, and more. In Argentina it is the
treatment of choice for leukemia. Read more about it....

** SUCCESS STORY **

INCONTINENCE

"We noticed our dog was suffering from incontinence. Our vet said her lack
of bladder control may be Cystitis. We decided to take matters in our own
hands and started using COLLOIDAL SILVER in her food each day. Within a week
we noticed her "leaking" had stopped and it's been under control since."

We've been using natural pet foods since 1978.
What they use in pet foods is disgusting! You really

"premium" pet foods. Pets need nutrition just as we
do to be healthy. Flint River Ranch passes our high
standards. Oven-baked and loaded with good

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL TIP **

DOGS: SEPARATION ANXIETY

Dr. Jo Ann Eurell knows what it's like to have a dog with separation
anxiety. "My son's Lab, Mandy, had serious separation anxiety which
escalated whenever we took her to strange surroundings. Mandy would work
herself up salivating and drooling when we tried to leave. And she was
capable of barking for a very long time.

ANIMAL ABUSE & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

It is estimated that 88% of pets living in households
with domestic abuse are either abused or killed.
Of all the women who enter shelters to escape abuse,
57% have had a pet killed by their abuser.

Those who commit serial or mass criminal violence often
use animals as "rehearsal" tools in their adolescence to
work themselves up to the eventual abuse or killing of people.
That means children who torture animals should be dealt with
quickly, and it should be taken seriously. The child may be acting
out because he/she is being abused or may be building up to
something worse.
