Pets - 25 September 2006

i have two adult cats, one female one male. my male cat is nine and has been an outdoor/indoor cat all his life. my female cat is 1 year old and was an outdoor/indoor cat until we decided to breed her (she is siamese)and i just want to make sure she is indoors to ake care of the kittens. i feel that if you take proper care of your cat, get it vacinated, check ups, dewormed and proper flea medicine, then there is no reason not to let them outside. i live on a farm that is a good ten acres and they never go far so why does that make me a bad cat owner? its not like i make them stay outside all the time, they come inside whenever they want to, we have a cat door for them even. everyone raises there animals differently and yes some cat owners are bad ones but that dosen't mean al outdoor cats are going to die or get sick. its not even cruel if you take care of them properly. ms catloverme123 i think is going a little to far in her comments and i just wanted to see what you think?

I have 2 small (1 inch) platies and 2 small (1 inch) guppies in a small 2.5 minibow. I know it's alot for that size, but I change water just a little more often. In that tank, for those fish, how much salt should I put. Also, my female guppy might give birth soon, because it has dark black spots near stomach, so if she gives birth in my 2.5 with the other fish, is it sure that every single fry will be killed/eaten?? What are the chances of some surviving? Could I fit like a breeding net or box or w/e in that small of a tank?

She had both prenatal and postnatal care. He didn't have many answers,which led me to ask on here. Finding a new vet is next on my list. She is in a childs playpen that I bought for this purpose. A crate just seemed to little and cramp. I move the pen next to my bed at night and I take her out several times aday for bathroom purposes and some time just to love on her.

And for the lady who told me to have her fixed...it's seems you question my love for her. I got the male as a gift when I was told I had terminal cancer and he did just as my friends had hoped. I didn't mean for her to get pregnant but because I was in new york at a dr. who might could have helped me, I wasn't able to get him spade before she got pregant. He has since been fixed and I have 3 puppies to leave behind to my 3 grandchildren. As they bond with their pup I know they will think of Mimi and how much she loved them...

My cat keeps rolling on her back and then licks her paws and then rubs them on her mouth. For the past few days shes been making weird meows. It sounds like when a person groans when they feel like vomiting, but mixed with meows. Like an annoyed purr meow. shes been eating and drinking normaly but her meows worry me. im not sure if shes been spayed and i dont have money for a vet. does anyone know what might be wrong with her?

My dog has just recently mated with a male, Not sure how many times he got her but Caught them once on the 4th of sept. It was a slipped mating, they never got stuck. It has been 3 wks and she is supper loving always right there by my side and always on my laps, Always seems to be sleeping, Threw up 2wks ago once, Her vulva and nipples are still enlarged and her nipples have turned to a lighter color pinkish. She hasn't seemed to gained weight yet, but it might still be to soon for that right? I did take her to the vets, vet tried to palpate but didn't fell anything, he said it might have been a few days to soon to palpate but just to bring her back in 45days for xray, What do you all think? What other early signs are there besides gaining weight?

I hate to admit it, but my dog is too destructive for her own good. I have to crate her up while I'm not around. The problem is, no matter what I do, she always dumps over her water and food. I have tried different bowls, giving her smaller amounts, giving her more, but no matter what I do, she always dumps them over and makes a huge mess. Then, when I get home and let her out of her crate, she goes to the food and water and drinks/eats for an hour. She needs food and water, but how can I keep her from dumping it out.

If I am in bed reading a book or newspaer, he starts licking the edge of the pages. He once found the phone book and start going to town. I asked the vet and she thought I was nuts. Is it a behavioral problem or would he be lacking some type of nutrient in his diet?

Do you know where i could get a relativley cheap price beagle puppy or dog? It could be a puppy to a 4 or 5 year old. See, my parents don't want to BUY one, so I am saving up my money to get one. It doesnt have to be pure bred, just has to LOOK like a beagle! If you have one, please answer or email me a picture! Or if you know where I could get one! Thanks!

Yes, she is spoiled and if I didn't know it before she had the babies I do now. She follows me everywhere I go in the house. She wants to sleep in the bed with me like she did up until the birth. I don't know what to do, it's like she doesn't want to give the puppies any attention cause she won't be getting any...or at least something like that... so I guess I have 2 questions:

Am I crazy for thinking this way and what can I do to help her and the puppies out...

She is solid white and the dad is a dark blonde yet she had 3 puppies the little male looks just like his dad...but the 2 females are white with black spots...I don't understand where they came from...the black spots...PLEASE HELP ME...these dogs mean the world with to me...
