Fifty postage stamps! if that were true then why are lost dogs not returned to their homes by the post office? Fifty stamps would be enough for normal first class postage.

If your pets mucous membranes are anything other then pink, something is wrong and you should call your veterinarian.

Pale pink or white mucous membranes could spell shock or anemia, blue generally means your pet is having trouble breathing and not getting oxygen, yellow mucous membranes generally means your pet is jaundice and having liver problems, and bright red mucous membranes could mean heat stroke for your pet or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Considering the places those noses often find themselves ..... those stamps probably say "Return to sender" pronto!
