CAMPAIGNS - ANIMAL COMPANIONS

More commonly known as 'pets', the animals that live with us have many concerns as well.

This section will feature tips in keeping your friends healthy, including info on veggie food. As well, respectable places you can adopt companions as well, and a listing of those that aren't so respectable.

Here is something i found that should be useful:

• From the ASPCA:
  
  SUMMER HEALTH ALERT:
  COMMON GARDEN PLANT POISONOUS TO CATS
  
  All cat owners should be aware that several types of lilies commonly found in gardens--and in households as potted plants and floral arrangements--can be deadly to their pets. Members of the Liliaceae family, including, but not limited to, tiger lily, Easter lily, rubrum lily and some species of day lily, can cause kidney failure in cats.
  
  Within just a few hours of ingestion, a cat may vomit, become lethargic or develop a lack of appetite. Symptoms continue and worsen as kidney damage progresses. Without prompt and proper treatment by a veterinarian, kidney failure can develop within 36 to 72 hours.
  
  According to Jill A. Richardson, DVM, of the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center, "All parts of the lily plant are considered toxic to cats, and consuming even small amounts can cause severe poisoning. Owners should remove these plants from their cat's access." For further information, visit: http://www.napcc.aspca.org/.
