Pets - 7 August 2006

This is a link to a picture of my dog. She was a rescue dog, is 5 years old, about 35 lbs. Long brown hair that needs cutting every month, long very fluffy tail. Loves to run/high energy. Probably many many breeds intermixed, but input would be great. Be specific.

PS: there is 2 pictures on this link, my dog is the "headshot" with light brown, long straight hair. I know it's not the best picture.

I had my cat's teeth cleaned about a month ago. She seemed fine until 2 weeks later she kept swallowing a lot. I gave her hair ball medicine and it seemed to go away. Now she's doing it again. She keeps swallowing and some of the time her throat sounds hoarse. Her nose is running too.

I took her to the vet today and they did an x-ray to make sure she doesn't have anything caught in her throat. The x-ray looked fine she said but she said there tonsils can become infected. But that they are so far back they can't see them by just looking in there mouth. She gave me antibiotics for my kitty but said if it doesn't get better to bring her back and they'll look down her throat with some sort of scope type thing.

So have any of you had this problem after having your cats teeth cleaned. She's 8 years old and has never been like this before. All I can think is her throat got really irritated and possible infected from something to do with that.

this male cat has more energy at 4am than the 8 year old does all day. I think he is wearing her out physically.

I've had my Oscar and Dempsey for a few days, they've started to get some fuzzy white stuff on thier eyes, and on the tips of thier fins.

I asked a lady at the store and she said it was fungus. She directed me to the Jungle brand Fungus Clear tablets.

Does anyone else know about this stuff (the fuzzy white stuff, or the tablets) who could share? The fish are moving around well and eating today, I've just never dealt with this before and want to make sure I have all the facts I can.

Thanks.

I have large parrots and add fresh fruit to their diet whenever I can, but sometimes the fruit flies overwhelm me.

What turns a normally gold goldfish white?

I have 2 goldfish. Both were gold. During the winter, they were displaced and went without much light for about 2 months. One goldfish turned completely white, and has remained that way ever sense, and the other has kept its gold color.

Could the lack of light have been the cause of one of my goldfish to become permanently albino while the other was not even affected?

Here is a picture of them both during Dorkus' (the bigger one's) transition. He is 100% white now.

My fish tanks glass cracked from the centre, the crack is around 1 feet long from edge to edge. The water leakage started therefore I have evacuated my fishes to safer place. Now is it possible to repair the cracked bottom glass or I have to replace the whole glass with a brand new, which I suppose would be a costly affair, as the size of the bottom glass is around 7 ft x 1 ft. .
Please suggest if there is some fool proof method to repair the cracked glass. Kindly note, I haven't separated the bottom glass from the fish tank, its absolutely fixed. I prefer to receiving answers from people who have successfully accomplished this task or professional in this feild. Thanking you all in advance.

If you know anything about ants, you know that the breeder ants grow wings and fly away to start new ant piles.

I have one by my house, and i dug into it, but i cant figure out which are the worker and which are the breeder ants. They dont have wings at the moment.

Does anyone know a good site that shows the difference?

Thanks.

I want to add to the pet discussion that I think it is wrong for people like Paris Hilton to use an animal as an accessory. With all of her young followers now they will be tossing a dog to the curb if it isn't the latest in fashion or style that Paris Hilton decides. Cosmo had an article on this and I find it revolting, most dog lovers do as well. Animals aren't accessories! Just cause some Hollywood nitwit has one doesn't mean everyone should have that!

The only reason Paris Hilton does things like this is cause she can. She's using an animal to her liking and basically when she's bored with it she gives it up like it was nothing. . To give up one just to get another what does that teach young girls about being responsible dog owners? Just cause one dog isn't in style anymore they toss it to the shelters? That is cold and it is wrong. How shallow has society become?
