Anti Mate Spray
Hi Does anyone know if it is still possible to buy this spray? We used to buy it in the 70's, and although I am not sure just how effective it is, I thought it might help to spray on the gates etc. to keep amorous canine males away.

Xrays
My dog has to have an xray on her back leg soon, ligament damage apparently, so I was wondering what they are going to do with her. Will she need an anesthetic for it?

How do you stop a cat catching birds?
I know it's natural, but I hate it, and I'm too squeamish to remove them or even touch them - my partner has to do it. I put a bell snap-collar on her but she picks at it 24/7 - really really hates it. Is there any other way?
