For those who don't believe that cats have nine lives may think again after this story. Layla, a cat who survived a 22 storey fall, according to an article written by Jim Wilkes from The Star dot com, the Etobicoke Human Society had to seize the cat after the owner refused to fix the cat's broken legs.

The call was anonymously placed to the Human Society which caused the cat to be seized in the first place.

The owner did not take the cat earlier 'cause she could not afford the surgery and although I can sympathize, however, the responsibility of an animal comes with an annual cost that owners do not realize or fail to accept. The average cost including medical emergencies, annually min can run anywhere between $3 - $5/year.

Pets are cute when they're sitting at the pet store, however, financial responsibility is a must. If you cannot afford to take care of a pet, it's best to allow someone who can. All animals need love but we also need to take care of ourselves financially first before giving what we can to an animal.

Layla received $3,500 worth of surgery after she had been suffering with months in pain due to the broken legs.

Allowing the bones to heal without proper treatment causes the bones to heal improperly causing further complications down the road, costing even more in the future to rectify.

Money, these days are tight and there are a few options for current pet owners. Shop around for alternatives. Some vets may even have a payment plan. Pet insurance is worth looking into or a savings plan specifically for your pet(s) care may be the plan of action.

Thank you for your Petwellbing News Bulletins. Your last issue with the topic on treating Ear Infections was of great benefit. My Goldie has always been suseptable to yeast infections in her ears. I have tried various over the counter treatments with not a whole lot of lasting results. As noted in the article that Petwellbeing published this August, which was beneficial with better than good results. I mixed half vinigar and half water, and then warmed it, for washing her ears. It took two washes, one a day. Bam, like magic her ears were rid of the stinky yeast oder and continue to smell good with no more yeast infection. I also trimmed the fur around her ears giving way to better air flow. Kitana my Golden Retriver, appears happy that the irritation has cleared up, she no longer shake her head and ears. Thanks Petwellbeing partners and friends to pets and owners. Eddie-G

Treatment: Over the past 4 years, I have been battling this with Louie. Winter time is much better for him but all throughout Spring, Summer and into Fall, Louie is miserable. Multiple visits to the Vet for medications and blood testing have not been successful. The blood testing came back all allergy-related. Louie’s skin will get large black patchy dry spots all over him and his skin around his eyes become dark and swollen almost to the point of closing. He is so irritated that just rubbing my hand on his back causes his back leg to start kicking like a dog would do when you are tickling him. He is doing it because the highly sensitive irritated state he is in. He is constantly rubbing the side of his face on everything even the corner of the stucco wall. I have tried so many of the over-the-counter allergies medications and antihistamines. I rub him down with Calm Coat Oil, Bag Balm, and even lanolin I got at the horse store to try to relieve his irritation.

PetWellBeing Product Used: Stimmune

Your Story: I have been giving Louie Stimmune since the middle of June (almost 2 months now). His skin has calmed down and is not spotted up. His eyes still have dark circles around them but they are not swollen and runny. He is not scratching his face on everything as much as he used to. He is still sensitive when you rub him but looking at Louie now compared to the beginning of this allergy season, he is 80% better. I will keep using Stimmune on Louie because I know I will continue to see improvement in his condition. With the heat, humidity and high allergy count, he looks so much better than past years. His daddy and mommy do a lot of scratching throughout this time of the year. After seeing the improvement in Louie, I have now started those two on Stimmune also.

Thanks,

Hi Miles, I see that you are looking for testimonials for pets under five years of age. I feel compelled to tell you about my cat Forrest anyway. Forrest passed away last fall at the age of(at minimum) 21. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the age of 19. I have been a veterinary technician for 21 years and was well aware of the high incidence of side effects, primarily nausea and vomiting, caused by methimazole and was unwilling to risk Forrest's health and comfort. I began researching alternatives and decided to give ResThyro a try. It completely eliminated his symtoms. He even gained weight at his ripe old age. I will be forever grateful for the product. It works! Currently a veterinarian I work with has been giving Resthyro to her elderly cat for almost a year. She is pleased with the results as well. Thank You!

I have two cats. I have a lot of problem with the foods; if they do not like they do not eat. I have to give natural food because one of them had skin cancer. I want to known if you have small package to tests if my cats liked. All your products that I buy are amazing and the best thing is they are natural. One of my cats is alive because I give her the ES Clear for cancer. All the veterinary tell I have to put sleep in any time. I can recommend your wet side to any of my friends.

Thank you
