It is suspected that cats may be more likely to develop permethrin toxicity because they have different liver metabolic pathways to other species â in particular, they have a deficiency in the enzyme hepatic glucuronosyl transferase. Source(s): http://www.fabcats.org/owners/poisons/pe...
Re: Swallowed chunk of rawhide. In all honesty you need to contact your vet. Rawhides do cause blockages, especially in smaller dogs, because the pieces are too large to pass through the intestine. Contact your vet, and ask for some x rays. Cheapest, and most effiecient way to see if there is a blockage, how large the piece is, and if it is moving through.
Not only can mosquitoes carry diseases that afflict humans, they also transmit several diseases and parasites that dogs and horses are very susceptible to. These include dog heartworm, West Nile virus (WNV) and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE).In addition, mosquito bites can cause severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito's saliva-this is what causes the red bump and itching.hese include dog heartworm, West Nile virus (WNV) and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE).
