Pets - 25 August 2006

currently i am looking into moving from Northern Virginia to Northern California. I have a horse and a pony that i am planning on taking with me.
last time i sent a horse halfway across country, she arrived looking like a skeleton and never really recovered from the trip.
i am not going to let that happen to these horses. i looked into flying them out there.
have any of you ever put a horse on a plane? is it more or less expensive that trucking them?
thanks for reading this!

We have just adopted a 12-15 year old Pomeranian who was a stray.

She must have food that she likes but won't eat the proper food that the vets gave her at The Humane Society. So far she has only got excited about spinach pizza and veggie cutlets.

Help! We are vegetarian and don't have meat to try her on. We suspect she was fed people food in a previous life.

I just wondered why, because it seems that most people who do it are lacking something in their brain and think it's big or something.

I went to five different pet stores (yes, I know a breeder is best but I can't sit around her home and watch as easily so for now..pet stores) and every lovebird I saw just sat. They sat in pairs, some were alone..but all they did was sit. No playing, no hanging. Does anyone actually own one that can tell me from exper?

A friend of mine lost her pup to parvo not too long ago and she wants to get a kitten around 6 or 7 weeks, but she doesn't know if he can get parvo, and I'm not sure myself.

Yesterday as I was walking home from work, a big St. Bernard ran to me and started to bark. Then I stopped a talk to the dog to calm him down. He stared at me and started to bark. His owner says that the dog isn't usually like this. My dad always says that dogs don't like me because they sense that I am not a dog person? Could it be possible. My dad says when he walks in his neighborhood, dogs never bark at him. What gives?

I live in a very old apartment building and my walls and ceiling seem to leak a black sooty dust. I dust about 2x a day and brush my dog just as often yet she is constantly grey. (Can't afford to move because I am on a fixed income, moving is not an option)

We have a crow that we rescued when he fell out of his nest, he is now 10 years old and although he gets a bit tatty in the summer he seems perfectly well. Just wondered how long they normally live? We have him free in our 60ft workshop, so he's quite happy.

My dog recently spent a week at the vet's office recovering from surgery due to being attacked by a big dog. The vet said for us to keep her in the house except to "do her business." She has no trouble urinating when I have her on the leash, but she won't poop. I got her back yesterday afternoon. The vet asst. said that she had a bowel movement yesterday morning but she didn't go at all yesterday afternoon when she was with me. I can't just let her loose in my yard b/c I'm scared she'll wonder off or something. Any suggestions as to what I can do to help her out? I'm afraid that if she keeps holding it all in, she'll get constipated. I did lay out newspaper for her in case she had to go while I'm at work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Siamese Cat lives in Neighborhood, HE is a stray. HE, is a very visible Male unneutered Cat. He appeared to be thin about two months ago, (It is very hot here). He has been coming to eat the food We leave on the front porch. I was gone for almost two weeks, but Family still put food, and fresh water out everyday. When I came home His stomach was distended, (swollen). I caught Him with a net, and brought Him inside. My Cat book said possible Roundworms. So I treated Him for that, but no worms. He eats, drinks, eliminates, and has a temperature of 102.7. Normal is 101.5 to 102.5. He is under My bed. Any suggestions about the swelling? He seems fine. The problem with the vet is that I can not get Him to go inside Our pet carrier. I had to fight like everything to do what I have done. Please any helpful answers. And HE IS NOT A SHE, AND IS NOT PREGNANT, That is the one thing I am very certain about. He is getting old, and has lost some teeth. I call Him Blue.
