Litter box liners are created for the convenience of the cat parent but they often tear from the catâs claws. Itâs also easy for urine to form pools in the folds of the plastic and that creates an odor problem.
Intussusception should be a consideration if your pet has a history of vomiting or diarrhea that has a palpable mass in the abdomen. The mass can be felt as a thickened sausage-shaped intestinal loop. Occasionally the small bowel can be felt entering the mass.
In some breeds dogs that are (S/S) are completely white while dogs that are (n/S) have what is referred to as mantle. As with horses and other animals, dog breeds with white spotting patterns can be affected by additional mutations in MITF and or other genes that effect coat color deletion and distribution. For example, the irish spotting pattern seen in many breeds of dogs (such as Collies) is not caused by this mutation.
