Pets - 30 September 2006

about three weeks ago my so called friend and neighbor ran over and killedmy beloved dog of 13 years. he says it was an accident, but hasnt offered anything to help with the vet bills or burial costs. needless to say i want to rip the jerks throat out, but he isnt worth going to prison over. my question is do i have any legal recourse to take him to court to sue for damages or do i have to get even the old fashioned way? i hope karma deals with him in a most despicable way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think my cat got worms from my neighbor's new dog. Is there anything I can do without seeing a vet? They're not open on Sundays and I am so disgusted... you need some kind of prescription for worming medicine, right?

Hello, I adopted a puppy today and i am not sure about the breeds of mix the dog is. She is nine weeks old and solid black with the exewtion of a smidge of white on her chest and one of her back paws and she has only nub for a tail. The guy who i adoppted the dog said that she was a Cavailer King Charles and a Border Collie mix, but I am not to sure. Is there a way that i can tell what my puppy is? A website or something?

our dogs are so used to the pee pad that now when they go outside they do nothing and then run back into the house and use the pee pad, how do I deal with this, do you scold for using the pee pad?? I don't know what to do in this situation.

Hello,

I know the first reaction to my question is that we should take our rabbit to the vet immediately. Not that we are inhumane, but our rabbit is 13 years old, blind, possibly had a stroke, lost her sister a year ago and we feel that trips to the vet have become too stressful for her. We feel that there is nothing more we can do for her besides comfort her. Our often suggests blood work, which would again, be too stressful for her.

Bugsie, 13, has been blind for roughly 3-4 years now. Her eyes are covered in a white, hazy color. One eye developed a red spot about a month ago. Pretty much overnight she developed a white coating over her entire eye. The white spot protrudes outward and appears oozy. She cleans her face and it seems as if she breaks bits off that crust into her fur. We do not suspect that she is in any pain as she is still eating as normal and spends a great deal of time grooming herself.

I ask this in hopes that you could give us an idea of what she is going through. It scares me that eventually the entire white coating will disintegrate and be wiped off. It may be the best thing for her as it is extremely difficult for her to close her eye. I would consider providing a photo, but it really isn’t a sight anyone would want to see. I suppose I am just looking for somewhat of an answer as to what is going on. Obviously, we are not looking for a cure.

Thanks,
Kate

I'm tarantula sitting for a friend this semester. It's a common kind of pet store tarantula (wooly or rose haired, I think) and I believe it's a female.

Recently, after having her in my room for a couple of weeks, she started webbing off one of her tubes to live in. I could just barely see inside and I noticed there was thick white stuff all over the floor.

Today, when I looked again, she was sitting in the middle of the tank atop this blob of white stuff. It kind of looked like half of a melted marshmallow. Her abdomen was shrunken by almost half of what it used to be (origingally about the size of a small walnut).

Is this an egg sac that she made? She hasn't been in contact with any males in the month that I've had her...but I don't know how long a tarantula goes between mating and laying her eggs.

Does anyone know what's going on?

I have a 4 month old Lesser Sulpher Crested Cockatoo who can fly even though her wings have been clipped. I want to take her with me sometimes when I go out but can't risk her flying. Does anyone have any insight regarding harnesses (flight suits). Which type are best and any other info you might want to add.
Thanks, Suzanne
