Pets - 9 August 2006

Our rescued kitten was found to have an oozing place on her head that didn't seem to heal with topical treatments. We took her to a vet. She was found to have a warble in her head, right behind her right ear, and it was huge. The vet had to sedate her and make an incision to get it out, and then gave her an oral antibiotic to follow up. Since then, her behaviour's been strange, and seems to get worse every day. She sleeps a lot more, and no longer meows.. She often jumps up on this one chair and seems to be following something up in space with her eyes that only she can see. Her eyes have changed in appearance, as well. They seem sunken in, and rolled upward. For the past week, she has acted as though she doesn't understand much of anything. Tonight, we found her on the kitchen floor repeatedly throwing herself against the cabinets and flipping over very hard onto her back. She seemed almost possessed, like she couldn't help it or stop it. Could she have brain damage from the warble?

I have had two yellow labs for five years now. They sleep outside. New neighbors just moved in about two months ago. They complained to the city about the dogs keeping her up all night. Which they dont. If they do see people or another animal, they will bark but it wont be all night long. So the city gave me five days to get muzzles or they would take the dogs. Now she video tapes the dogs and takes pictures of them. She has done nothing but cause problems. We have never had any complaints until she moved in. She has called me and my husband names and shines bright lights on us when we are outside. We put a spot light. and now she put balloons right by it along with windmills. I dont know what do anymore with this person!!!!

I volunteer at an animal shelter, and some ladies dropped off a kitten they found stranded in a tree (in the rain, no less). There was no room at the shelter, so I said I'd take him. He's really thin and kind of scraggly, and he was starving when they brought him in. Theoretically, we're only "foster parents" until a cage opens up, and I've never had a cat in such bad shape. I don't know whether to give him a few days to eat and get his strength back, or if I should even introduce him to my other cat in case he's got a virus or something.

Any insight here?

We just bought a adorable little beagle, she is a very good dog but when it comes to potty trianing she will pee outside no problem but she will not poo outside! Does anyone have suggestions as to what i could do to get her to poo out side as well? We'll stay outside for like 20 minutes, she'll pee if she has to put she will not poo, any suggestions would be great!

my older cat who is 12 yrs old just lost her sister at christmas. she was so lonely i thought she would like a sister so i got a kitten. she was so wonderful with the kittens my other cat had she would lay in the box with them all day and they would try to nurse on her but of course she had no milk. i thought this was a great idea. no such luck all they do is fight growl hiss bat each other constantly. plus the kitten is such a brat always getting to everything she isn't suppose to. she has tons of toys scratching posts everything you could imagine but she wants to play with my pictures hanging on the wall or my christmas lights on my bed or the wires to my computer or stereo or tv. i am at my wits end with her i cant ever open my window any more because she wants to hang on the screen and i am afraid she will fall out the window. i live on the 4th floor. she is scheduled to get fixed in 3 weeks and if this doesnt calm her down i don't know what i am going to do help

My cat died suddenly on Thursday night and I don't know what could have happened. I came home from a bar, having alcohol poisoning from a strawberry drink (I am allergic to berries). My husband laid me on one side of the couch while he sat on the other side. Several times he pet our cat Rapunzel, and then he went upstairs to sleep, leaving me passed out on the couch. I awoke in the middle of the night and went upstairs as well. When we woke the next morning we found Rapunzel on my side of the couch, dead. She was on her back, and solid--no blood, nothing. I am scared that I might have suffocated the cat--but she has slept with me for years and is very skittish--wouldn't she have moved or tried to struggle? I am bewildered and racked with guilt!
