**5 Ways to Entice Your Sick Kitty to Eat**

Sometimes when cats are recuperating from surgery or on the mend with antibiotics, they may lose their appetite. Give some of these a try!

(1) Try warming the food. (2) Add some water (3) Try different textures (4) Try feeding out of your hand (5) Try a topper to get them going such as baby food, tuna juice, or chicken

Do you have any tips to share?

As always, if your cat is sick, be sure to see your veterinarian as soon as possible. Especially if a cat is not eating or drinking ā€“ cats are so small they can go downhill quickly if not eating or drinking. Call us at (715) 365-7387

Happy Hump Day! Speaking ofā€¦

Debarking Pet Myths: What is Dog Hu***ng All About?

ā€œSometimes my dog starts hu***ng her toy or even my houseguest! Itā€™s soooooo embarrassing!ā€ --- Sound familiar? Did you know that hu***ng in dogs, although seemingly sexual in nature ā€“ oftentimes is NOT at all?

*5 Basic Reasons for Mounting Behavior*
Release stress or anxiety, reproduction, play, dominance, medical or physical condition.

The most likely reason dogs hump this is simply a way to burn off energy, the dog is over-stimulated or needs to relieve stress. It doesnā€™t matter if the dog is male or female. It is all normal.

*How to stop Hu***ng?*
Yelling and getting excited will likely backfire so simply try to redirect your dog to a treat, or something else is your best bet to stop the behavior. Reduce access to items that causes the mounting behavior, or alter your plan when guests arrive to cut down on the opportunity.

Contact us if you feel your dog may have a larger problem. Call us at (715) 365-7387

Do you know what Xylitol is? Did you know it can be FATAL to your dog? Hereā€™s some info for you: Xylitol is sugar substitute that you may find in your food: gum, mints, toothpaste, peanut butter, sweets, and much more. It may cause liver failure or hypoglycemia in your dog!

The first sign of Xylitol ingestion is usually vomiting. Other symptoms can be: lethargy, collapse, seizures, and ataxia. Hypoglycemic shock can happen anywhere from 30 minutes after ingestion up until 12 hours after ingestion.

Many items labeled as low calorie, low fat, zero sugar may contain Zylitol. Be very careful and check the labels to be certain nothing with Xylitol is left where your beloved companion can get to it.

A catā€™s purr is perhaps one of the most soothing sounds. But did you know there is science behind a purr?

Cats purr at a consistent frequency of about 25 to 30 vibrations per second, which is within the range of vibrations that have been shown to encourage healing and reduce pain in humans!
