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.
Your dog can be infected if he has spent time in a kennel, at the groomer, a dog park, a training class or anywhere thereâs multiple dogs. A kennel cough is characterized by a deep, dry honking or hacking cough that might cause gagging afterwards. It gets worse when heâs playing or running.
