Hi FMLers! Just thought I'd de-lurk to post on the above subjects. on nipping: I have had good luck w/ Ming-Jou (sable sprite 1 and a half yrs who I have had since she was a kit) training her not to nip by uttering a soft, whining "OW" and going completely limp. She always lets go after sensing I have gone limp. Another thing that usually works is if I nip her back. She gets this confused look on her face and stops. on pneumonia: Ming-Jou has just been diagnosed w/pneumonia. She is on Cefa drops (16cc w/food twice a day). She thinks it is a treat and will lick it right off my fingers. Scheduled check up in two weeks but in the meantime is not allowed outside for her daily romp - Can we say NOT IMPRESSED!!! <g> She hates being cooped up in the house...sigh on broken toenails: Ming Jou has had them broken before (after playing outside). The vet just clipps it off, puts two-way padded tape on it and it eventually grows back. on tail sniffin' hoomans: been there/done that/do it all the time/love that grape soda aroma!! :) Any idea what day(s) Bob C will be in Calgary?
