Spayed Cats Question
I've had my two cats spayed yesterday. How long will it be before the wound is healed enough for me to stop watching them like a hawk in case they bother the stitches?

Burgess Supadog
Does anybody have any views on this dog food? It seems remarkably cheap (have looked on PetsUk). I picked up a sample in an independent animal supplies shop and my dog loves it. I do think it may be a bit rich for her though so it is mixed in with Purina atm.

My vet tells me that the testes are fully removed but I see many cats in my area which I'm assuming are neutered (ie non agressive) but still look…

I've checked for thorns on her paws and ticks on her body but nothing. I took her for a walk and…
