Pets - 26 August 2006

I adopted a rescue cat and signed papers saying he would be an indoor cat. However this cat is obsessed with going outside and slips out of the door at every chance. He has actually become quite clever at it. Do any of you have any ideas for behavior modification? I am very afraid of losing the cat if he gets outside and I am unable to catch him. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful answers.

I have an australian cattle dog, sweet, smart, loyal, and adoreable and I see no resemblance in the dogs. Australian shepherds aren't even distantly related to any australian breed so why the name? I look at an Australian shpherd with all that hair, the flopped ears, and the short bub of a tail and think a dog like that wouldn't easily survive in the outback. I get annoyed when people confuse the two breeds they look nothing alike. Australian sheps wouldn't be so annoying to me if the name would get changed. What's the deal?

We were told it was a parrot fish, however, I can not find anything on the net that shows a parrot fish with these markings. The body is light yellow and on the sides the markings look like a flower with stem.

he is upto date on all his shots and everything. Well this morning I look in his crate and I see that he threw up and it his throw up is what looks like either a piece of spagetti or a worm. There is a 50-50 chance he has eaten spagetti in the last 24 hours. Anyway it is about 4 inches long!!! It is skinny and a light brown color. I dont see a head or any features that makes it look like a worm, meaning that it is smooth. Does anyone know what this might be???

My 5 month old kittens eat 7 times a day. Each time I feed them a can (5.5oz) of 9Lives, Whiskas, and other brands, which they share. They let me know when they're hungry, by following me around and meowing nonstop.

About two months ago, I found a tapeworm in one of their stools so I bought a $30 tapeworm medication at Petsmart. It seemed to work because they immediately grew twice as big as before. And their "beer gut" dissapeared.

So what could be the problem? Worms again or is 7 times normal?

I had 2 kissing gouramis in a bowl and they both died within a week.I'm feeling really sad about it.Now I know bowls are dangerous, so I'm thinking of setting up a small tank. Which fish are hardy and best for a beginner? Also, what are the main equipments I need for a healthy tank and happy fish? ( I will have just 1-2 fish )

Our lovely dog is rather old and every once and awhile if something is a little bit different than normal (she doesn't like change) she gets really nervous. She trots around the house and turns around really quickly and refuses to lie down and stuff. What can we do to reassure her?

I hate to keep this so short I could write a book but, my vet needed to mussle my dog, yes that had to be done for treatment. What he did was cruel and I will follow up legally. My dog had diahrea and was vomiting. My Vet was very mean and rough while he had him mussled. He kept him mussled too long.So if any of you have any wonderful ideas how to hang an ausbive vet legally I am all for it. But do need my medical Question answered too.
If my dog had vomited while mussled? Could he have developed Aspiration pneumonia? I need this for my formal state complaint to the investigator?
