Pets - 20 August 2006

We have alarge male calico that is a strictly indoor cat. He's three years old and has been living with us for a year. In the last week, he has kept us awake with his incessant yowling every night. He's neutered and has never caused us problems before, we have checked the obvious things like food/water/litter box and everything is fine. I have also checked him for injury and there doesn't appear to be any at all...we're at our wits end, and it's really starting to cause a problem...what can we do?

Look, i'm sorry for all the questions on cats, but should I get my kitten neutered? Will it make any changes in his personality? Will he be less affectionate?

I recently was given a tank that came with a cichlid. I already have a Jack Dempsey, and since they are the same size, I put them in together. So far, so good. The fish that came with the tank is about the same shape as the Jack Dempsey, body, fins, etc. The new one is a pinkish tan with vertical black stripes, and a black dot at the base of the tail. All the fins are lined with a pretty orange-pink. The eyes are lighter and kind of protruding, compared with the Jack dempsey, which has flat, dark eyes. The new one's mouth seems more pointed than that of the Jack, also. Can anyone tell me what I have?

that my plants is full of small tiny ants! I know this because I've been videotaping them lately and I'm always accidentally touching the plants and theres no such ants about. But today, I went to videotape again and this time around there were FULL of ants and I KNOW its because of the ants. I'm worried. What does it mean? That one of the babies is dying? Plus, they've been really chatty lately like as if they're on erm panic mode lol.. Can some bird expert explain?

About 5 days ago, I took out all the water in my 96 liter since it badley needed it although I know it would have been better to leave like 20% of the water in so I don't take out all of the bacteria a tank needs. Anyway, it was beautifuly clean and i put lots of new plants in. After about 2 hours I put my fish back in (which are all compatible with each other) and from that day on till now, about 10 of them died! Could this have been from the water change? But then after about 4 days after I cleaned it, i bought some new fish of the same species that died, they were doing great and today i woke up to 3 of them dead! this couldn't have been from the water change since this was like 4 days after...right?

She is bound to be pregnant. Then I raise the fry. After a couple of generations I should have tanks full. How many fry do I expect to survive and how long for them to grow up?

My dog's cataracts have gotten really bad this year and I can't afford $1100+ for the surgery. This isn't fair for her but I can't do it on my own. Does any one know any organizations who help with this kind of situation? Thank you for your help.

My girlfriend was playing with my pet goldfish.She was putting it in her mouth and then taking out. Once she put it in her mouth and accidentally swallowed it alive, whole without hurting it. My girlfriend can not feel my pet goldfish, it is in her stomach. 10-15 minutes passed after it. Can we save our pets life or it is too late?

When out walking today with my 6 months old pup and sister, we heard this dog go berserk at us (as we were accustomed to everytime we go walking in that area). It was dark, and it was in this fenced property so we just kept walking towards the house since we normally go that way on our walks. Then all of a sudden this humongous dog started walking out of the property. The gate wasn't shut properly. It was growling as it came towards us slowly. It would have been about 5-10 metres away from us. My puppy is really friendly and she just kep walking to the dog, so i quickly picked her up, and we all turned around and walked away without looking at the dog.
Is that what I should have done? Or do dogs attack from the back as well?

My cat gave birth to kittens 3 weeks ago. After handling them, you are left with a really strong smell on your hands, its not like a normal "pet" smell, but very strong. We make sure we wash our hands before and after holding them, but why do they smell like this?

I have a black traditional "doll-faced" persian who has black spots inside his mouth (not on the tongue but along the roof on his mouth and gumline of the bottom teeth).

I've had him since he was 6 months old and he's 3 years old now, but the black spots have always been there. They don't seem to cause him any pain or problems and he seems perfectly happy. He's fine when he eats hard or crunchy food as well.

His teeth are white and clean, and don't rock around or look as if they're about to fall out or anything. Is this a sign of gum disease or is it just a birthmark?

By the way he has bad breath and I brush his teeth regularly. It'd be great if you guys could help me out. Thanks.
