Pets - 19 August 2006

I noticed my kitten had brown crusty stuff in her chin hair. I can't tell what it is, but it almost looks like dried food. I tried to wipe it off, but it's attached to her fur. My older cat had something similar one time. Is this a scab, or crusted food? She's a very sloppy eater. She's not a teeny baby either. Anyone ever notice such a thing on their cat? I am hoping it's just food, because that can't be an easy place to clean.

How does breeding works? Do cats just.. breed with the first can in heat they see?


Also, what is the gestation time of a cat?

I lost him three days ago, hes a indoor cat and delcawed, but pretty big. Would their be any chance of him surviving? Also where should I look for him? I put up lost signs of him on mailboxes and stuff , and only got 1 call, but they saw him the night after he got lost I looked where the person said they saw him, and no sign, do you think he would still be around that area?

We have a 4 yr old male 90 lb purebred Golden Retriever. I will walk him out to the mailbox and he'll just plop down and refuse to get up! It's not exhaustion, it's stubborness. He'll completely ignore me and just look around and watch the cars go by. I'll say, "Want a treat?" "Wanna go to the park? For a walk?" and he continues to act like I'm not even there. Sometimes he'll sit there for 20 minutes. I try to drag him but he'll just lay flatter and play "dead". Any suggestions?

Help us choose a cute name for our new boy cocker spaniel puppy.
Nothing weird or odd, please.
Something like Humphrey, Brewster, Murphy.
Thanks for your ideas!

I have a weimaraner from a rescue centre who is absolutely gorgeous, he had been castrated previously, we have recently heard that dogs who have had this done tend to scent inside the house as well as outside. We try to stop him when we see him do this, but obviously when we go to bed or go out, no one is there to stop him from doing this. How can we stop him doing this and how do I get the smell of dog urine odour out of the carpet. I have tried Listerine and pet products but nothing seems to work. Any ideas that have worked please, otherwise it looks as if I will need a new carpet. But then the same will happen all over again.

they don't come home one night? What if some evil person picked it up and started to do awful things to it??? (That's actually how a lot of serial killers get their start.)

My co-worker's cat just got sprayed by a skunk the other day....while not funny at the time, it is now. You wouldn't believe what they had to go through to clean the poor baby up, plus their house!! And they didn't let their cat wander off on its own, their cat actually had a harness, collar and leash and they would leave her tied to the front porch (a long leash) so she could "enjoy" the outdoors. Well, I don't think they'll be doing that again anytime soon!!!

Some people feel it is being nice to the cat to let it have its "freedom". But the fact is, indoor cats are cleaner, live longer and not neighborhood nuisances.

Anyway, I would like to hear from anyone who thinks its okay to let their cat outside, their rationale, and if they worry about him/her getting into any trouble.

I don't care if it's a male or female puppy but I'd rather the pup be a brushcoated pup though...if anybody might know of someone selling Shar Pei's I'd really appreciate the help!O and not for too much either because some of the prices i have seen are amazingly HIGH! haha so anywhere near Mesa would be awsome! THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I stopped her from breast feeding today because the pups (almost 7 weeks old) are draining all the calcium from her body. How long before her breast milk dries up?

Normally I have no problems with dogs. Since watching the Dog Whisper series on the National Geographic Channel, I am curious to know if there is a meathod to stop any small non-agressive dogs from barking at me. Like my neighbor's dog for example. The reason why I asked is because I want it to know me better as a good human friend.

We have 3 indoor babies, and none of them are "naked". All have collars, all have tags, and one (the youngest) has a bell because he likes to sneak up on the other two cats and pounce on them. This way, I figured I would at least give the other two a warning and fighting chance if the third came by to "visit". LOL.

By the way, before anyone mentions this, they are all wear those safety breakaway collars, so they can get out of it if they get stuck on something in my house (say the window blinds or something).

Yesterday, I had to rush my 5 year old yorkie to the emergency vet because she couldn't walk (very wobbly and falling over). Her body was very low on calcium. She only weighs about 4 lbs. (her natural weight) and had 4 pups almost 7 weeks ago. The pups are growing rapidly and depleting all the calcium from moms body. I had been trying to find ways to start them on puppy food but they are more interested in breast milk. After yesterdays incident, I don't have a choice. I have had to separate mom from pups (pups are in a crate). They are eating the puppy food, but barely. Is it wrong to separate them this way? Will they be okay? Could they be suffering from separation anxiety?
