Peace, Peruvian, and Calla lilies contain oxalate crystals that cause minor signs of illness, such as tissue irritation in the mouth, tongue, pharynx, and esophagus, which, in turn, causes minor drooling. The potentially fatal lilies are true lilies, including Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter, and Japanese Show lilies. These are all highly toxic to cats. Even small ingestions (such as eating the pollen or just two to three petals or leaves) can result in kidney failure.Mike Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03639707212630794165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711904059415627799.post-47340425867129447222010-04-16T15:48:00.000-07:002010-04-16T15:49:20.574-07:00Irvine vet tech arrested in case of dog abuse!Irvine vet tech arrested in case of dog abuse! watch amazing video of recovery. he deserves your time. <a href="http://bit.ly/dDoYe0 ">http://bit.ly/dDoYe0 </a>Mike Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03639707212630794165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711904059415627799.post-16647666355980846782010-04-04T11:54:00.000-07:002010-04-04T11:55:43.075-07:00Canine & Feline DiabetesMost diabetic dogs are type-1 (not making insulin) diabetics. 80-95% of diabetic cats experience type-2 diabetes (not responding to insulin).

If your dogs are on trails or exposed to snake areas at times, i recommend the crotalus vaccine. ask your vet for more info. Even if your dog is vaccinated, a rattlesnake bite still needs medical attention.
