Africanized honey bees, informally referred to as killer bees, are a kind of honey bee not too different from the docile ones most of us are familiar with.

Eagles are strong enough to carry a 12-pound salmon, so a four-pound dog is nothing." You can protect small dogs and cats from eagles with a protective jacket called a Coyote Vest, covered in Kevlar and spikes, intended to protect small pets from coyotes.

Many pet owners raise an eyebrow when I suggest waiting and watching to see if a subtle, non-specific symptom, such as a fever, goes away on its own instead of running a battery of tests or prescribing antibiotics. If we have a stable, comfortable patient, sometimes - not every time - waiting to see if either the condition goes away or elaborates into something we can more easily figure out is a reasonable option.

If your pet will need some short-term sedatives for the upcoming fireworks, don't wait until the last minute to call your vet. There are also non-medical options that can be a big help. Remember not to use any of your personal prescription medications for your pets. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/doc/?id=4952947&pid=19239
