Dog sedative
We are expats living on a remote Island in Indonesia and do not have a local Vet to consult. Our dog (6yo mixed breed female neutered) will no longer let us cut her nails and we would like to have our company Doctor give us a sedative to put her to sleep so we can do this. She weighs 25 kg and is very healthy. Could you tell us what could be used and how large a dose other than vallium as it only makes her hyper so our Doctor could give her a shot. |

Cat moving house and not adjusting well
My cat and I moved into a new home. He now has three canine friends who he has spent time with before. One of the dogs was eating the felines stool, so I purchased the Purrforma self cleaning litter box. He would only urinate in it and chose to defecate on my side of the bed after 6 days. He attempted to defecate another time, I got him and placed him in the litter box, however that only worked once, and choose the bed again. Since then I purchased a new non automated litter box and returned him to his feline pine cat litter - that was two days ago and he has not eliminated anything sine. I have been leaving the bedroom door closed so he is not tempted. I'm just waiting for him to use it. any thoughts?
Should I lock him in a confined area until he uses it?
I need some advise or he might end up getting kicked out, and he is a special need cat as he has three fused lumbar (congenital defect.)
He is also doing an excessive amount of licking to the point where he has two balding patches. He just had an allergy shot 4 weeks ago. Should I inquire about behavioral modification type drugs?
