** A NOTE FROM DONNA **

According to recent studies, only 1-3 percent of U.S pet
owners insure their pets, compared to nearly 20 percent
in England and almost 50 percent in Sweden. Why?

Dog.com is investigating pet health insurance plans and
your input is important to their research. Take a few
minutes to tell them your outlook on pet health insurance.

Have a great week!

ABSCESS & SORE HOCKS in RABBITS

"I use Lavender essential oil to heal abscesses and sore hocks. It also
kills skin mites, but I wouldn't use it in the ear. An herbal oil emulsion
with lavender extract would be better for that. You should be able to get
flax seed whole from any health food store or coop." Gail

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL TIP **

DROOLING IN CATS

Probably the most commonly identified reasons for drooling are gum or teeth
disorders. Problems that lead to nausea, such as renal failure or
gastrointestinal disease also cause excessive salivation. Some cats salivate
excessively when they are nervous or stressed. This is a common reaction to
oral medications and application of flea control products, too.

Foaming at the mouth or excessive salivation is common when cats have
ingested something noxious, such as when they have been sprayed with a spray
containing alcohol (many flea sprays are alcohol based).

FINDING A HOME FOR YOUR PET
