Pets - 27 September 2006

I live in cold and windy New Hampshire, my bunnie's companion died last spring and i want to make extra sure she can keep warm this winter. I have a solid floor, 4 solid walls with an entrance on the side , so she can stay on one side away from the wind. I stuff the entire room with hay. On windy nights i cover the whole hutch (leaving the bottom open) with a tarp. Is there any other way to keep her warm enough? (Bringing her inside is not an option, 2 people allergic.)

I made the mistake once on adding these to fish with my gold fish and betta fish and when I woke up the next morning my betta fish was still alive but only had a body left? I felt so bad for days.

for long periods of time, when I'm very busy I can't help it, but I know he is very bored and I feel guilty, I have to leave the house, if I give him to my mom, I think he'll really miss me, how difficult is it for pups to get used to a new owner, (I'll miss him dearly, but schedule won't allow me to keep him) I'll cry, but no choice

I've recently set up a street cat rescue website with live streaming video of the kitties needing homes, but it's been sabotaged more than once, and I'm wondering if people can see the StreetCatCam right now cause the event log says no one is there. Its for a good cause, street cat rescue. Please let me know, the link to the streetcatcam is on the home page at http://www.kittiesinthehood.com
Thanks so much

I 've had him for six years and he's always been healthy.He stays outside all year round(he hibernates from October to April)He has a large (6x10 ft.)enclosure with all kinds of plants for him to nibble on and a house,water pan,etc.He's fed all kinds of greens,flowers,weeds. Also carrots,green beans,apples,and occasionally bananas and berries.He also likes an earthworm now and then.But lately he acts as if he can't open his mouth all the way;he wants to eat,but he acts as though it's painful to open his mouth. I took him to the vet,and he was given Baytril,but he still won't ,or can't eat,so I' ve been pureeing his food and force-feeding him with a syringe(no easy feat,let me tell you).I noticed that his tongue looks red.Could it be a vitamin deficiency,or stomatitis?My vet is good,but she is not a reptile specialist,and I don't have the 300 bucks to take him to the Reptile vet right now.Can anyone help?

My dog will push her way through my small children to escape or sneek away when I'm not looking. She always comes back if I can't find her, but she's been getting into trouble everyonce in awhile. I do tie her up, but she has to come inside too.

Also, what kind of Meow Mix should I feed her if I want her to to sign arias? Or perhaps the score from Amadeus?

If not, I'm returning this bag right away. I might even sue them for false advertising.

The other night, I noticed something was not right with my dog. Whenever she moved a certain way, she would yelp. And when she went to jump on anything, she would cry. I took her to the vet yesterday, and he said he thinks its something in her back and gave us some anti inflamitories. But today she has been getting much worse. sometimes she just lays down and cries. Am I overreacting?Should I wait to see if the medicine will kick in? Or is this possibly something worse than what we thought it was and I need to take her back to the vet?

My cat was treated a month ago and her symptoms have improved but not very quickly. She has only gained half a pound and her coat isn't great. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

Every time I come over to my sisters house her puppy gets the hiccups. He is a pitbull/dalmation mix. The only reason I could think of is that I have a cat, and maybe he smells the cat, and has a reaction. Is there a reason for this?

I'm really worried. Could anything go wrong? Will she be put into a light sleep, or full anesthesia?

I posted a question yesterday about this but I only got one answer so I'm going to repost it in a shorter story.. My one year old chihuahua and my 6mo old male chihuahua were found "tied up" yesterday. I have talked to my veterinarian about their age and I know they are too young, but this was NOT on purpose.. What I want to know is what the chances are she's pregnant (she is in heat) and any advice I can get.. I have researched breeding for future reference, but now I may be forced to learn a lot quicker than I had planned.. any advice please.
