Gino,
Ever wonder why little Fifi…Fofo…Fumfum, or whatever you call your pooch, comes into the house and barfs all over your prized Persian rug? Possible causes: car sickness, an infection, food allergies or poisoning, heatstroke, or plant poisoning. It’s interesting what some animals can eat and not be affected. Camels eat thorny cacti, seabirds eat ocean plastic (source: National Geographic.org), rats eat car electrical wires, and, of course, rhinos eat Volkswagens. “In general, dogs are affected more than cats, in part because they eat pretty much anything, while cats are somewhat protected because they’re pickier eaters”, according to researchers at the…
