Not always true! : )

Our poor rescue pup isn’t helped that much by Benadryl either. He’s our latest rescue and I was dismayed by how uncomfortable he was last summer. We had to finally use several courses of predisone after everything else failed. I’m dreading the upcoming summer for him.
Word of advice—don’t use the baking powder solution to relieve itching on a grey/black dog. It worked, somewhat, but it turned his fur color to tan/brown where it was sprayed.
Thanks..never heard that one...What a commentary on our welfare system.ha.
Not always true! : )
To be fair.... kitties have catnip. An herb/grass that makes them feel good. Doggies need an equivalent. LOL!
In the late 70s I had a cat with a chronic, debilitating condition. He would sit in front of me on the floor while I blew smoke in his face. When he’d had enough, he would go bounding off, like he hadn’t a pain in the world. Then he would come back, sit in front of me, but with his back to me, and we would listen to music. Except for his ears, which would turn left and right depending on what was coming out of the speakers, there was no movement.
He also loved to be wrapped in towels hot out of the dryer.
I finally had to put him down. I never had a better cat.
I see no problem with this.
I haven’t smoked since 1984. It was horrible, and you couldn’t get me to smoke the stuff again. But it was great for my cat.
