Pets - 13 October 2006

My mom found a bird in her backyard yesterday and caught it and put it in a cage. My mom says it look like a parakeet, but my dad says that its too big to be a parakeet. She said that it's about the size of a cockateil, but that it's head is a dark green and the rest of it's body is a teal green color. Anybody have any ideas or know a website I can go to that has pictures of birds so that I could maybe match it up. I appreciate it.

I just got 2 4month old kittens. when i brought them home they seemed hungry all the time. so i fed them when ever they seemed like they were hungry. but the last two (today is 3) days they seem like they arent very hungry. and i will put food down and they will take only a couple bites and thats it. before they would eat it all. Then this morning i found kitty puke by the bathroom. They dont seem sick they seem hyper and active as always. But i am just worried about them. Does anyone know why they wouldnt be eating very much? are they just full from all the food i fed them before? Are they sick? I am really worried.

Okay so I have a cat, last night we were having our usual Thursday night drink at the local watering hole. I tied one too many on and got the idea that my cat and I needed tattoos. I thought it would be cute to get "Gimme Velveeta or gimme death" on her rump well it turns out she doesn't even like Velveeta, now she won't speak to me. What can I do??

He's 3-yrs old, neutered & 1 of 3 other house cats (in a large living space) - 1 other neutered male cat (brother & formerly best buds), and 2 females. He was the "greeter", never shy, "talked" too much, very outgoing ..for a cat. 3 weeks ago, he began fighting with one of the females. He ran into the kitchen (Personally, not the place I'd pick for him to seek isolation) & has stayed in there since - except to run out & use the litter box, which I moved right outside the kitchen door (so he would stop using my countertops!). Nope - I cannot & will not have company over until this is remedied.
I've tried luring him out to no avail. I've made the noises in the kitchen I know he can't stand (rustling of paper, aluminum foil..any loud noise) & he'll run out then run back in.
Anyone out there have any idea what's happened, why & what I can possibly do to "fix" this?

Organisations like People for ANIMALS and PETA dosen't allow you to become a member of it unless you take an oath that you would become a vegetarian. But unfortunately i cannot become a vegetarian as my family strongly apposes that. But i am a keen animal lover and would like to provide the best help i can. Please help me.

I had four of them about 2 hours ago and they all met with an untimely demise. As to the question posted earlier, I could only get 4 kittens in my microwave. Anyone else have a hell of a mess to clean up in the kitchen?

My akita just sits down and won't budge when I put a leash on him. I tried spraying water on his face, but that makes him more stubborn and he then lies down. Any tips??

My daughter has 2 map turtles and they have not eaten for 2 weeks, are they sick or are they hibernating? We just got them this summer so we are not sure what they do during the winter months. FYI we live in Canada

I'm trying to help get a pet red ear slider turtle a little healthier (it had been in cool water and was sluggish). I've raised RESs before, but never had one that wasn't healthy. We've slowly warmed the water (over a week) and he is responding well to that. He's eating lots more, and is much perkier.

When we prepared the tank a week and a half ago, I put in a Dr. Turtle Sulfa block (into 15 gal water in a 30 gal tank). It is already gone. With my turtles, I only would put a new one in when i cleaned the water, but since this guy might not be so healthy, should I put a new one in every time the old one disappears? How often ARE you supposed to replace these?

Lets say I want to know what car to buy. I write all the names of the cars I am interested in on separate pieces of 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper and lay them all over the family room. Then I say to the cat "Will you please tell me what car to buy?" and eventually the cat will lie right down on one of the papers. Thats the one I buy!!!

I am going to adopt a dog in a few months either from the local shelter or a rescue group. I have heard that it is better to adopt a younger dog or puppy so it can grow with my daughter. I will be going to the shelter, but am unsure of an adult or puppy. I will always supervise my child no matter what I choose. Has anyone had or know anyone who has adopted an adult dog and has a small child? Any problems with that? Any positive or negitive stories would be great.

She also suffers from liver dysfunction, and was put under total anesthesia 3 weeks ago in order to remove some superficial tumors from her ears. A couple of days ago she vomited and had diarrhea, and since then she walks around the house senseless and disorientated- she often stops at corners without knowning where to go, or walks in circles- and cannot rest. She recognises us but we cannot confort her. She has lost her appetite and does not drink water. The vet could not give a diagnosis and mentioned the possibility of a stroke. Does anyone out there has any idea of what this may mean? Despite her age she has been a very lively dog (people would not believe that she is past 16yrs old...)
