You and Your Pet
Dear Doctor: What can I do to
share the holiday cheer with our
pets? I know that turkey bones
should not be fed to them but is
there anything I can do to share the
fun while keeping them safe?
Atswer: As the holiday season
grows near, there are several points
to keep in mind with regard to
your pets and the festivites.
Thanksgiving has been designed,
or so it seems, to give people the
opportunity to experience indiges
tion.
It may be a pleasure for us but
don't be so anxious to share that
blissful agony with your family
pets.
A tidbit or two of white breast
of turkey is an acceptable reward,
however, too much fatty meat
could cause a great amount of
discomfort.
Carefully dispose of leftovers
and pay close attention to what
you do with the bones.
Turkey has a very appealing
smell to most animals and giving
your pets the chance to pillage the
garbage can be a fatal mistake.
Turkey bones are very brittle
and may shatter into dangerously
sharp pieces. If you want your pets
to be their happiest, keep them on
their regular diet and feeding
schedule.
One other point, although your
pets may be kings of the hill in
your home, they may not be such
welcomed guests in someone else's
house. Take the time to call ahead
if you want to bring them along or
make arrangements to board them
in a kennel while you're away. Be
ing a responsible pet owner means
taking other people's feelings into
consideration, too.
Dear Doctor:Sometime ago, 1
read about health care insurance
for pets. Is it available now?
Where can 1 get some? Sometimes
1 feel like I'm spending more at the
veterinarian's than at the pediatri
cians.
Answer: Animal health care in
surance is currently being test
marketed in California. It is not
animal life insurance and not ex
actly like the health insurance we
have for ourselves.
It will probably cover only the
treatment of serious injuries due to
accidents and severe illnesses. It
will not cover routine examina
tions and injections.
Also, there win be a deductible
charge similar to many human
health insurance plans. Another
plan is to have the owner to be
responsible for paying the first
20^o of the cost for treating an in
jured pet and the insurance com
pany will pay the remaining 80 Vo.
Dear Doctor: My son wants a
boxer. Does he have to have the
ears and tail trimmed?
Answer: No, he does not have to
have the ears and tails trimmed
but, if he would like to show the
dog or would like for his pet to
look like a boxer, tail docking and
ear trimming will be necessary.
Please remember that these are ac
cepted forms of cosmetic surgery
and are always performed while
the dog is under surgical anethesia.
Because of modern surgical techni
ques, these procedures do not
cause the animals pain and they re
quire only a short recovery period.
It is important to remember,
though, that your .pet would
benefit from and enjoy some
special tender loving care during
the recover time after he returns
home from the animal hospital.

care? If so send it to "YOU AND
YOUR PET", 112 Johnston
Street, Smlthfield, N.C. 27577.)
A Word From Cong . Bill Ho/nor
Congressman Bill Hefner recent
ly signed a letter to U.S. Trade
Representative William Brock pro
testing a proposed agreement with
the government of Peru concern
ing textile imports.
The Peruvian government,
which heavily subsidizes its textile
imports, could face high counter
vailing duties as the result of peti
tions filed by the American Yarn
Spinners Association and the
American Textile Manufacturers
Insitute.
Under the countervailing law,

U.S. industry may petition for a
duty to offset a subsidy that a
foreign government pays on goods
shipped to the U.S.
The Reagan Administration is
considering an agreement with
Peru whereby Peru could avoid
countervailing duties should the
current suit and any future suits be
approved.
"An agreement of this kind is
nothing more than a blank check
for Peru," Congressman Hefner
said. "This agreement only ac
comodates the Peruvians and pro
hibits us from imposing higher
duties on what they're sending
over here."
"Our textile and apparel trade
deficit is soaring," the Con
gressman said. "Our exports are
declining, apparel imports are up 8
percent, and our deficit was up to
$6.7 billion by the end of 1982.
That's 27?7o higher than in 1981.
1 can't see why the administration
wants io accomodate these people
while textile production here is

industry exceeds 11 percent."
The letter, sent by the Congres
sional Textile Caucus, states that
the U.S. sent a negotiating team to
invite Peru to join other nations in
a code to eliminate export Sub
sidies. At that time, according to
the letter, Peru had no interest in
the U.S. proposals.
"Peru has suddenly sought
agreement on this issue only
because of the petitions filed by the
U.S. textile industry," Hefner
said. "They are not dealing with us
in good faith."
"The wording of the agreement
is ambiguous and is meant to allow
Peru to buy time, while our deficits
and interest rates climb," Hefner
said.
"The only fair thing to do is to
let the suits filed by the textile in
dustry run their course, and make
no bargains with Peru. That is the
price that they should pay for
dumping their subsidized products
on American market."
