Pets - 23 August 2006

We have 2 rat terrier mixes & a fullblood pit puppy. We have always feed the mixes whenever (we just leave the food out), but with the puppy we cannot do that because he poops in his cage/house. My husband wants to put all the dogs on a once or twice a day program because he says the mixes are eating too much & he is tired of cleaning up poop almost every day when he gets home from work. I don't blame him, but I am worried if they will be getting enough to eat. They cannot tell me when they are hungry. During the week, my husband wants to only feed them when we get home from work. He said they can go potty when we get up, but no eating. I feel bad & am concerned. Wanting any advice/help - thanks!!

I just got a wirehaired mini dachshund on Monday (two days ago) and we have her sleeping in her kennel at night, but there's a problem - every morning when I get up and take her out, she has pooped. I was told that they don't go where they sleep, and I have been exercising her about an hour before bedtime and I stop feeding her about two hours before. This is what we did with our German Shepherd and we didn't have any problems there. Please tell me that there's something I can do because I don't have time to give her a bath every morning AND get ready and off to work.

I looove the look of golden retrievers when they're puppies. I'd love to have one, but I don't like big dogs.
A couple of years ago this little girl at work (I teach elementary school) told me that her family has a miniature golden retriever. And, I asked her are you sure it's not a puppy that's going to get bigger later? Then she used her hands to show me the size of the puppy, and said it was 4 years old already.

Now, ever since then I've asked people, breeders included, if they know where I can get a miniature golden retriever and everybody says that they don't exist.

I've been asked to take in some purebred puppies and pay for all their care until I find them good homes. I've done rescue before but I had a good job then. If I don't help, they'll go to a high kill shelter. What if I take care of them and can't find good homes? Any honest, sincere answers will be appreciated.

I know that with a guinue pig you can't take them outside for 24 hrs after a bath and they have to be dry before you put them back in the cage....is it the same with rats? Thx!! :D

I was bike riding in NYC along the water (boardwalk), and I could have sworn I saw 2 fishermen pull a sting ray out of the water. It was chirping, and clicking. Do they make these noises? Are they in NYC?! If not, what the $*(#$*# was it?

I just got my daughter two beta fish, one male and one female. The clerk said that would be fine. They seemed to do okay at first, but I noticed today that the male won't leave the female alone. He keeps picking at her!! Is he trying to eat her or is this normal?

I have 2 rare white Lahpso apsos. Mom just had a puppy. The puppy from birth throws her head around and walks with her head ****** to the side. At first I thought it may be a pinched nerve. But, she plays with her toys and slings them around in a violent manner. She couldn't do that if it was a pinched nerve. She falls down a lot too. However, she's only 7 wks. old. She seems normal in every other way. Should I be worried?

He always tries to go potty beside the toilet. Why would he do this? Do you think if I put his litter box there...would he use it? When I catch him in time I put him in it and he does use it without trying to get out.

I'd say I'm maybe a little better than average looking. I have zero talkiing to chicks skills, yet I constantly get sex from hot girls. Can someone please clue me in.

PS. I don't even work or have a car that was made in this decade.

I think dogs are better because you can play with them and take them for walks.

My partner has two cats that constantly catch mice. they usualy don't kill them, just injure them and leave them to die. We feel very bad about it and even taken one to the vet but it was too late for him.

Is there any way to make them stop this behavior?
Will playing with them more with fake mice and string replace their need for the hunt, or will it just train them to be better killers?

I'm looking for a solution that means the cats are ok and the mice are ok (besides keeping the cats locked in - which restricts the cats) .

Please don't post with "let cats be cats" or "it's only natural".

Just last night I was able to feel my cats ribs, and her tail seems thinner. Also she doesn't eat that much, always sleeping, only active at night now which is odd. Her eyes are surrounded with whitish gooy looking circles like what us humans have but thick and gross looking, mostly covering half her eye when she opens them. I need advice as soon as possible before I find possible bad news from the vet. Just curious, we have bought different brand of cat food, but also I noticed she was looking skinnier after we brought in a kitten we found outside. What could be possible causes? Thanks in advance!

Where I live, there is a ranch open to the public where you can buy corn, pumpkins and other food goods. across from the store, they have goats and sheep. In the goats cage... there is pee yeallow water for them to drink, there is no food in thier bowl, and there are prickley weeds taller then 5 feet growing everywhere in thier cage. There is also poo everywhere. Corn husks without the corn are spread all over thier cage. The sleeping area is a shack smaller then an out house, smells WORSE then an outhouse and looks ten times worse then an outhouse filled with holes. Also, there is one RANDOM sled laying in the middle of thier home. Is there a number I can call to have people look at the animals and talk to the owner or something like that? thanks. :]

My poor dog always bleeds when we clip his toenails. We've tried everything. Our vet suggested more frequent clipping but we clip every 2 weeks in the hope the quick will recede but it never does. His nails are long, the quick is long, and it affects his gait. It is a very painful thing for him to go through and very emotional for him, my husband and I. We all dread when it has to be done. Someone told me that you could use a laser to trim a dog's nails painlessly and the laser would cauterize the nail so it would not bleed. I'm trying to find a veterinarian who does this procedure. I live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Is this procedure true or did someone just make this up? If this is a " for real " thing it would be the solution I've been looking for.
