We may look into the tablet, we never knew there was one for fleas. We were thinking about doing a flea "bomb" but it'd be hard to get everyone out for a few hours, three dogs, two cats, two chins etc.....is that what you mean by retreating the home or is there another way?

We have never had a flea problem before, An occasional tick. But the last month, we have been having fleas like crazy! Everyday! with our three dogs. They are up to date on all shots, We have given them flea baths multiple times a week, and have sprayed them with flea and tick spray and even...

My boys drank tap water for six years with not one problem. I switched to a PUR water pitcher after reading more just to be safe. But like others have said, some tap is fine and never causes any problems. I just switched to be safe. The tap water by you may be fine as well if you haven't had any...

All those pictures are so adorable! I honestly don't think i've ever seen either Tigger or Eeyore sleeping alone, They are always right ontop of eachother. Always looks like one is using the other as a pillow lol. I love how close they are.

A good thing to tell her, is it's basically like her wearing a winter coat in 76 degree's, very uncomfortable and hot, while her being cold, she can do things about, unfortantly chins can't with the heat unless we get them to a cooler spot.

Does anyone make fleece liners that go over the bass pans? So it'd fit like a pillow? I'd rather use fleece, since the bedding goes everywhere and costs more, but it's been easier since my guys are potty trained, I could just keep up where they went and put new bedding in. The other problem is...

You are being selfish. If you knew the closest vet was that far away, why get a pet in an emergency like this, where you are causing them to be in constant pain and suffering slowly? And not having a ride. That is being selfish as well as keeping the poor thing in constant pain. If you were in...

Thanks, The vet put the first application in and had to put him in a burrito wrap, so thats what I did as well. It took a little for him to calm down, as soon as he did, I was able to get it in his eye. She suggested using my finger to gently get it in, instead of the tube, incase it scratches...

Thankfully everything turned out great. Just have to give him some ointment twice a day, most likely was just some dust that got in his eye, wasn't red or inflammed, and his teeth were perfect.

Well I made an appointment anyway.....I guess I'm just a bit nervous this being the first problem with them in the years i've had them. I did find it weird, I got an appointment today with the vet I saw last time which was just a routine visit to see how they were, this was the first time there...

Ok I will......I'm hoping it's nothing obviously. I wanted to try and wait to see the vet as money is tight this week. I just got a job, so i'd be able to to if it happened a couple weeks from now, But thats not how it works. I usually give him a dust bath twice a week, there were a few times I...

I thought last night Tigger's eye looked a little wet around his left eye, Not much, but just a little, Maybe figured he just caught something in it quick, as there wasn't anything there. This morning, His left eye is completely shut and he didn't/couldn't open it when I went over to his cage...

I'm not speaking on this vet, but based on my vet, Our Vet is closed on Sunday as well but they do have people go in not sure if it's just once or not, as animals do stay over, So maybe thats what that vet does as well. Again, I cant speak for them, but thats just my guess, but every vet might...

It just takes alot of practice......this was horrible for me the first couple times because I was nervous about hurting him or not doing it correctly. It will help alot if someone else can hold him. I do it all myself though and when they get upset and get kicking I stop for a minute and get...

My best advice would be to take a long time and read through each section on here. You'll find much better info on here then in stores/books it seems. It's great you found this place. I'm sure others will chime in as well, I'd say definatly make sure your able to give them a comfortable...

Same with me. I found a book I bought before I got them, and some of the info is correct but "treats" are all wrong, They have pics with the chins eating apple's. Definatly glad I found this site too, couldn't believe some of the stuff they couldn't/shouldn't have that they were having for awhile.

True, As long as the info is correct. i've noticed alot of sites have alot of wrong info, even like some books. Somethings I looked at before getting my boys, was completely wrong, but years ago, since I did the research and looked everything up, I did what the books/some sites said. Luckily I...

I'm so sorry, losing a pet is so hard! This is my fear when one of my guys passes, as they are housed together as well. I'm not an expert on if it actually helps, but I always planned to get a chin buddy to put in their cage when one passes away, Alot of people by them for single chins, and I...

I actually at first didn't realize you had to do this, When I first got my two guys, I brought them to a small animal vet, who never mentioned it. When a vet that specialized in small animals moved into the vet we go to for our other pets, I went to her, luckily she had chins and told me about...

Not sure, but you might want to start your own thread so people can see the question better.
