My cat and dog

• My cat and dog Haleigh Posted : 1/3/2007 7:23:07 AM Well, my Chi/terrier mix Eros got in a really bad squabble about a week ago with my moms kitten Bug. She's about 5 months old, and she came from an alley behind her house in chicago. Eros is about the size of a rat terrier, the kitten of a rat. He bit down on her neck really hard, and broke it and killed her. I didn't know this until today. What I DID know, is that he got scratched up quite a bit. He started having little bumps around the site of the scratch, so we brought him into the vet. He diagnosed him with Cat-Scratch disease. I was shocked. I had no idea that it could happen to dogs. Has anyone got any ideas about this? I'm really worried and can't think straight.
