Pets - 18 October 2006

My kitty (almost 5 months) was neutered yesterday. When I brought him home he was extremely hyper and destructive. After about 6 hours he calmed down and slept. Today he hasn't done anything but sleep. Usually he gets up every few hours to play for awhile, but today he hasn't played much at all, and has been sleeping for the last 8+ hours. Also, when I try to wake him up, he just goes right back to sleep, he can't seem to stay awake. Do I have anything to worry about? It just seems odd that he went from so energetic to so sleepy in such a short amount of time. Thanks!

Will you help me find my lost cat & her kittens in Sydney Australia?
My pregnant (recently rescued) cat escaped on her way into the vet on the 9 October and has been missing since. On the 11 october she gave birth in a backyard in balmain, the family were not at all co-operative, hang up on me when I call etc and I don't know if she's still there or not. One of her friends even threatened to kill my cats if I kept looking for my cat. I really need help...please let me know if you can help. I am so upset that I can't just go get her & bring her home. Please help me if you can. Please send me a message if you can help or let me know how i can contact you. I miss her...please help!

whats being said between them? its like the magpies rule the roost sometimes and the dogs show respect or something - they look but they dont flush (and wont be persuaded either). But why sometimes and not others? the dogs mood doesnt appear to be a factor in it at all. There is communication going on but it baffles me what its all about! (and I consider myself pretty fluent in "dog" and animal languages!) Any behaviourists out there that can shine light on this for me? cheers

He had a terrible childhood. His owner basically fed him food that he didnt eat and he is very skinny unlike most of his breed. But, in the past two weeks that he's with me he has grown to be very fond of me and i treat him well and feed him the right food (soft dog food which he emties it whenever its given). But then, he doesnt want to sleep in his bed that i brought him. I put a fench so he can stay put but tries every conniving way to get over the fench and unto my work place. At night, if i dont take him to bed with me, he will moan and cry all night. Should i discipline him or is he just a loving dog. He is a bichon frise.

I notice that my dog has a lump on her breast and I found out that it was a mammary tumor. The problem is that I dont have the $600+ dollars to pay for her surgery, is there a place where they offer low cost for surgery in the (Los Angeles area)? I really can't afford it and I dont want to my dog to suffer, any suggestions?

He's the smaller brown dog, and he's about 4-5 months old in the pictures.

My doggy has cataract and I have tried various types of eye lotion. Nothing seem to help. So if operation can help I may have to send him for one. So anyone have similar experiences with good results, please advise.

Also, I need to find a way to train him to use a litter box when I let him out of his cage for exercise, and to clean out his cage. Are they very difficult to litter box train? Any suggestions?

Well I have a cat( I currently live in a big house) but I am going to be moving into my own one bedroom apartment soon. I really want to bring my cat with me, but is it okay to have a cat in a little place like that? does anyone out there own a cat in a little apartment? how does the cat do? have you come along any negatives? did he spray in the move? (this apartment allows animals)

I notice that this can be a debatable topic and I was just curious to know the thoughts and views of others around the world, instead of just here in my small town. Many think it can be wrong, what do you think and have you ever had to take an animal to a shelter?

She is 15 years old and I haven't changed her food but in the past couple of weeks when she goes in her litter box there is a really bad odor. She also seems to be drinking a bit more than she used to. Has anyone else come across this problem? I'm starting to get a bit concerned.

When my dog gets excited eg. when we play around to just me coming home from work she gets really excited and play bites my wrists. I started shoving my wrists further down her throat and in a deep growling voice say 'no' and stop what i'm doing even walk away from her. But it doesn't stop her. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and I would like to know what you did/done to stop it?

I had to give my 6 month old kitten a bath last night because my son thought it would be neat to rub lip gloss all over his fur. Now he just trembles whenever I try to hold him, like he is terrified of me...what do I do??

I live in the high country where it snows occasionally and have to move in January. I've been feeding the local finches and many assorted birds for almost 3 years through every season. I'm worried about how they will do. I know some have come to depend on me. Should I wean them from the seed I offer them....or??? I'm very worried about this.

My son's Black Lab//Chow mix comes up to me and will "ask" for a doggie bisquit. We call them 'cookies.' But he will come to me and make a sound asking for some that sounds like hes saying "I wan" and other times he comes back and says "more"

And of course the whole time he's wagging his tail from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail.
