We’ve already interfered. Domesticated dogs and cats mate more often and have larger litters than their wild ancestors, but cannot survive well on their own.
No, that’s caused by overfeeding and lack of exercise. Spayed or neutered pets require fewer calories. Cut down on their meals, and make time for walks or play.
But how do those pets get pregnant? A male pet can easily father 750 offspring in his lifetime. (And if he gets into a neighbor’s yard and mates with the “wrong” female, her owner could sue.)
Not so! His instinct to “defend his turf” won’t be affected. And he’ll be less likely to wander off.
But will they? Many pets hide when giving birth. And even if you find good homes for the litter, you may deny homes to animals already born
Having a litter won’t improve an animal’s health or permanently change her personality – although she may be tired and irritable while nursing.
They’re cheaper in the long run than caring for the litters! Financial assistance may be available. License fees are often less for spayed or neutered pets.

Currently there is no vaccine for West Nile virus, but several companies are working toward developing a vaccine.
There is no specific treatment for West Nile Virus infection. In severe cases, intensive supportive therapies are used, such as intravenous fluids and medicine to control fever or pain. Antibiotics may be given for any secondary bacterial infection.
People over 50 years of age have the highest risk of severe disease. It is not known if people with weakened immune systems are at an increase risk for West Nile Virus.
Preventing mosquito bites is the best way to avoid getting the West Nile Virus. Remember the four Ds: Drain, Dusk-to-Dawn, Dress and Deet. Drain standing water in your yard and neighborhood. Standing water can be found in swimming pools that are not kept clean, ponds, pet watering dishes, birdbaths, potted plants, old tires, empty containers, toys and clogged rain gutters. …
West Nile Virus is a virus which was previously associated and commonly found in Africa, West Asia and the Middle East.

Bring in pet dishes or cover them. Cover ornamental ponds and birdbaths. Bring your pets inside for the night. Do not go outside during spray times. If you have health problems, such as asthma, take special precautions as directed by your doctor, if necessary.
