June 3, 201412 yr We discuss how bad second hand smoke is for humans, but we don't talk about how bad it is for our pets. Here's a list of the most common diseases found in pets who passive smoke. Breathing problems in dogs and asthmatic-like symptoms in cats Salivation Diarrhea Vomiting Cardiac abnormalities Respiratory difficulties and respiratory paralysis Feline lymphoma in cats Lung cancer in dogs Nasal cancer in dogs Death: from 1-5 cigarettes and from 1/3-1 cigar can be fatal if ingested.
June 3, 201412 yr I'm pretty sure I gave the best cat in the world cancer. I had to put him down at 13 years old because an oral cancer was eating away at his face. I have read 2nd hand smoke can cause this cancer. I will never forgive myself there will never be another cat like him. We smoked indoors for the first 5 years of his life and I am sure that 5 years was enough :( We have lived in our house for almost 15 years now and have never smoked inside so I will never have to feel this guilt for another animal.

I'm so sorry ((((Bonnie))))))) :( My cat had to be put to sleep a year or so ago. He had cancer and I am ashamed to admit, he wheezed quite a lot too. It never even occurred to me and most of us I am sure that we were putting our pets at risk. It's another good reason to keep our quits that's for sure.
