Dear Dr. Meek, I have an outdoor barn cat. He is now one year old and has grown very long and thick hair (fur?) which has become quite matted. Will these 'mats' shed off or should I sedate and shave him before the hot days of summer? Thank you, Mellissa Dear Mellissa,Thank you for your timely question. With spring officially here, our long-haired feline friends

Hello Dr. McGraw and Dr. Meek,Do you think cats would be OK outside in the winter if they have a small heated outdoor cat house to be in when they chose. They would still be fed of course.This would be in Coeur d’Alene, but the winters are pretty similar… Thanks,MariahHello Mariah,Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. To answer your question, as long as your cats are not hairless cats,

Dear Dr. McGraw,I was wondering if you could answer a question about my hog -- how can I tell if she is pregnant? I have had her for 6 weeks and she is not even showing signs that she is.BeebeeDear Beebee,Thanks for your question. It would be difficult to tell if your sow is pregnant or not.

Dr. McGraw,Hi, we just got our lab puppy neutered at Bunchgrass and my mom forgot to ask why his nose is always dry. We give him lots of water, so much that his urine is light yellow.
