All our family members deserve to have a healthy life, and today I have a health tip for those of you with furry friends. Although it can be stressful when your animal-companion is not feeling well, it is a good idea to seek advice from a professional promptly. You may be tempted to try home remedies or follow non-qualified advice; be cautious of this because many common human products and medications can be toxic when used on animal-people. For instance, pain medications containing paracetamol (such as Tylenol and Panadol) are very toxic to cat-people and ibuprofen (found in medications such as Advil and Motrin) is highly toxic to both our dog- and feline-friends. Health complications resulting from these can be serious. In some cases, symptoms may not be apparent until serious damage has been done and then it’s too late. Therefore, it’s very important you speak to your veterinarian when you notice any change in your animal-companion’s health or behavior.
Life can be so much fun with laughter, and here comes the joke of the day. It’s called “Important Question.”
After spending all day watching football, a husband fell asleep in front of the TV and spent the night in the chair. In the morning, his wife woke him up.
“Get up, dear, It’s 20 to seven.”
He awoke with a start.
“In whose favor?”
?!
