  • Heidi’s mange is completely healed

    All it took was daily application of Johnson’s Baby Oil. Heidi went around with her spiky hair for about 2 weeks and the mange is all gone now!  Mange-free Dame Heidi. No more spiky hair! I used this for Raven’s mange too, and she healed as well. But Raven had a dose of Revolution Spot-On…

  • Timmy’s Plan B is ON TRACK!

    Yes, this time, it IS! The reason Timmy is sitting down is that he has already finished all his food. He is served first and he knows the rules – he goes all by himself into the cage! By the time I serve the rest, Timmy is already done! He knows he cannot come out…

  • Who are the editors of the AnimalCare blog?

    The human writer and the two chief editors. Nothing escapes the attention of the Chief Editor. She is always on board, keeping a tab (!) on things. Who says I’m sleeping? Because the two editors carry such a heavy responsibility, we brought down another chair so that both can do their work comfortably these days.

  • Should we anthropomorphise animals?

    I’ve always been guilty of anthropomorphising animals. As humans, we can’t help but attribute our human character traits to our pets and the animals we relate closely to. I do it more to tell stories on the blog, actually! Saying that Mr Zurik is a KGB agent and that Willy goes on secret missions with…

  • Eat like the Greeks to stay sharp in old age

    The Greeks adopt the Meditarranean diet which comprises mostly fruit and vegetables, nuts, fish and olive oil. So do the Okinawans, who are often reputed to be the longest-living people in the world. In short, they are pescetarians (vegetarians who eat fish).
