Pets - 16 June 2006

ok first the cat was a stray given to me by my aunt. one of her neighbors put it out on the street when they moved. i couldnt resist it because he is sooo cute. i wouldnt say that he is an adult cat yet i think he is about 8 months old or so. he is off white with tan edges i figured that i'll get him his shots, get him fixed and the whole nine yards. ok the concern im having is that i find myself cleaning out the litter box like every day. which is caused by his excessive bowel movements. i stopped giving him wet food but realized that he was doing this even before i gave it to him. i don't give him milk and i don't give him table food. what could be cauisng him to do this? usually the amount he does is about the size of the palm of an average sized ladies hand with it being light brown in color and very liquidy. i thought cat feces was supposed to be solid. sorry for being so graphic but this is the way it is. also helooks as though he is not gaining any weight becuae of this. help!

my 4 year old dog has been having diareah. the vet has tested for everything and can't find the cause. we have tried a lot of different medications, but the problem still exists. i noticed that he gets sever diareah only after drinking more water (it shoots out of him). we he doesnt drink as much water and eats, its fairly firm, but then after drinking a lot of water and eating, he can barely hold it. could this be a sign of kidney problems? is this common? he is a king charles spaniel.

I have a small, male Boston Terrier who was neutred before being whelped, he even squats to pee.

Recently however he has been peeing up against every tree he can find and seems somewhat distant when I call him or try to play with him.

When I let him run around outside he seems more interested in sniffing then playing, he used to want to play all the time. His personalty just seems to be changing a little. He is just over 2 years old.

Was on steps of pool with dogs when i swam over to the side and when i came up he had run over and grabed my head in his mouth and wouldnt stop biting me. He had to be pulled off me and when i was puuled out he was still trying to attack me. Now that my staples are all out and im healing i want to go swimming again soon. Once that happens can i ever be the alpha or will he know that he is much stronger and bigger then me from now on and never mind me. Never minds me even working with a dog trainer before or after this. Both dogs are buddies and when one starsts to be agressive with me the other one joins in and its like they temporarily forget who i am. Scary .Rottie and french mastiff. Im very small . Should i be scared.

That's right. In WWI the pit bull was a hero. I'm not writing this to preach that everyone should love pit bulls. A person's opinion is just that...an opinion, and they're entitled to theirs. But whether you like them or whether you don't, your forced to faced with all of the "pit bull attention" going on today. It is most interesting to read up on history of the breed and compare it to all that we hear today. Pit bull bite statistics are comparable to car accident statistics. In the 1920's there were far fewer car accidents than there are today, reason being because there were far fewer cars. The same applies to pit bulls. Years ago there were far fewer pit bulls than there are today. Today there are more pit bulls than any other breed, so it only makes sense to understand that there will be more problems from the pit bull. Simply put, dog bites/attacks are more prevelant today because the dog population is huge and continues to grow - MANDATORY SPAY/NEUTER of ALL pets is the remedy.

STOP.
Unless you have had personal experience with pit bulls, you have NO RIGHT to judge them.
I don't care what you say or who you are, if all you go by is what you hear on the media then you need to get off your lazy *** and do some research before you start bashing on them.
They aren't as cute or frilly as your little yorkie but they are NOT ALL DANGEROUS.
If you would've researched the story that you heard on the news last night about a pit mauling some child, you would have found out that the pit originally was bred/raised to fight, chained up in a backyard 24/7, and taught that it was RIGHT to maul things smaller than itself. The media doesn't say that, does it?
Just because they *look* dangerous doesn't mean that they are- and just because one pit bull has bitten doesn't mean they all will. I don't see you all saying labradors are dangerous, yet they've mauled/bitten before..
You people need to STOP judging. If you don't have sources for your answers then DONT ANSWER.

I just gave my black lab mix, who is 9 months old a bath with oatmeal dog shampoo. I cleaned her real good cause its been a long time since her last bath. When she was dry, I petted her and realized she was shedding pretty good. I got her brush out to comb her and Ive been combing for 45 minutes now and she hasnt stopped shedding. I have like a huge amount of black dog hair in a pile and its not letting up! Im getting worried! ive bathed her with this same shampoo before and this didnt happen!

My broken spotted blue and white mouse bred to my lilac/tan male only had two babies in her litter...whats up with that? She is about a year old but the male was less mature. Could it be that my male was young (even though he was adult size) or that she just might be prone to small litters?

It's actually kinda cool because now those twins will grow up really strong and I can keep them all. And if she is prone to small litters then that is goon because I would like to keep future litters if I can.
