THE bottle of Maalox sat perched on the triage desk in the emergency room. It was mint flavor, or maybe lemon — I don’t recall exactly — but it shimmered temptingly. I had just finished with a new admission, and my stomach had been groaning ominously for hours. It was after midnight, the whole...

Menopause, the natural cessation of menstruation that usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, can increase a woman’s risk of developing osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become thin and may fracture easily. Visit:...

According to a recent study published in the journal Diabetologia, a diet rich in acidic foods such as, meat, fish, and soda increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in women. A diet rich in meat, and other acidogenic foods increases the acid load, which can further cause metabolic acidosis ........

My calico female cat likes to stand like a bear on her hind legs. She does that when my hand is above her head, in order to but my hand with her head. Her white female kitten (not the same distinct calico markings, it's dad was a black cat) exhibited the same behavior, getting up on its hind legs...

According to a recent study published in the Diabetes Care journal, adding dapagliflozin to sitagliptin monotherapy reduces blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. People suffering from type 2 diabetes may sometimes require multiple therapies/combination therapy to manage their...

The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of...

What does your city do about stray animals? I was just told by our "dog pound" that they are short on space. My guess is that they never have enough space. Can the city put a tax on businesses/individuals that sell animals? Maybe they could dedicate that tax revenue to a catch-neuter-release...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/ The kittens drew their mother up onto the Skyway (the kittens love it). Before, she did not go up there. I didn't encourage it, because the feral has been totally cramped (she's really weird/paranoid) by our newcomers and needs space. The male kitten...

My white cat has developed a darkening of her nose (see other post). I'm told white cats are prone to skin cancer. I never let her outside but she does lay in a sunny window in the morning for hours. The window is a double, with a storm window on the outside. Doesn't that block the dangerous...

Another very strong deterrent, used responsibly of course. Not suggesting there are many (if any) good uses, just that it makes a serious impression.

My white cat's nose had a small dark spot on it for a couple of months. I couldn't feel anything and didn't worry about it. Recently it got larger and now she has several black spots on top of nose. When I feel them they feel crusty. The side of her nose also is darker. She had acne on her...

My 14 week old kitten has recently begun to shiver or have tremors when he lays down and begins to fall asleep. His entire boddy shakes slightly as though he is shivering from cold. I have attempted to warm him up by covering him with a blanket but this does not stop the shivering. He had his...

Any suggestions for where to buy cat food online? In the USA, but not Petco, Petsmart, or Amazon. Thanks. If you want to know why, I want some options. Petco is cheap, but their packaging is horrible. They throw cat food in an oversized box with no packing material. Last 16 pound bag required...

One of my cats, (Maggie) loves lox and cream cheese. Bagels? - Not so much. but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I've got a problem in my new apartment (which is in an old building) with respect to bugs and am looking for some way of eliminating them that won't harm my two senior cats. I don't know much about bugs and don't know what these particular critters are. They are very small and never seem to get...

My local pet store owner told me that Wellness is no longer the high quality food that it used to be. He said the company was sold a few years ago. Apparently they began selling Wellness in the large chains after the sale (PetCo, PetSmart, etc.) and the quality went down. He recommended a brand...
