Pets - 19 October 2006

My kitten has been sneezing and i think coughing. I am going to take him to the vet, but the appointment isn't until next week. I saw vitamins for cats at petsmart..Will they help and is he going to be o.k? I'm not sure how he got a cold because he's and inside cat. How do cats get colds?

I dont know if there was something I couldve done to get him to eat or why exactly he died if it wasnt starvation. I have only had him a few months and the other fish and shrimp in my tank seem fine so I wouldnt think it is anything in the water. Any insight is appreciated.

I bought my Himalayan from a breeder, I specifically waited for a female to be born. I have papers that say she is a female and just found out, now that she is older, she is starting to developed and is a male! My vet never caught on, cause I told the vet she was a female. Now I find out she is a male and I have had horrible experiences with males in the past, even when having them neutered, they always peed in the house. My question is, what can I do about this, it's seems unfair I paid so much money for a cat that isn't what I asked for and can the breeder get away with it? I have had Gracie since she was 6 weeks of age, August 4th is the day I brought her home. What are my rights! I DO NOT want a male!

Do animals actually sleep all the way through the winter or do they just kind of go dormant for a while? I mean - they collect all that food in preparation - if they are going to be asleep it will all just go to waste!!

I have three cats. My 12 year old orange male tabby adopted the kitten right away. He washes her and plays with her but my 11 year old male-grey tabby does'nt like her at all! I have to keep them seperated, I've tried everything. I hold the kitten near him, he smells her and suddenly, he bites her!! I've tried a water bottle but nothing works!! It's been three months now. All he wants to do is bite her!! Any suggestions and will he come around when she's bigger because for now I don't want to leave them alone because he hurts her!!

I'm leaving my 2 year old Beagle in a crate for the first time today. I'm nervous. I've only had him for a couple days. He likes spending time in his crate but this is the first time he'll be on lock-down. I'll be leaving him for 4-6 hours. I got him from a shelter so I dont even know if he has a history of crate training. He's a very quite, calm, good little doggie. I put him in the crate and hid. He whined a little bit at first but quieted down. I left the TV on and left one of my t-shirts in his crate.

Will he be alright?! :S

Almost a week ago, my mother bought three goldfish, Jack, Janet and Chrissy. She purchased a bowl and two plant seeds, and placed the three fish in it. The next morning, Janet was dead. So, we removed her, cleaned the water, and that night, my mother bought another Janet. The next morning, that Janet was dead. We conditioned the water each time we changed it, they are fed pellets, and the other two, Jack and Chrissy are fine. I noticed that Jack was chasing the first Janet around and sucking at her tail. Do fish compete with each other? Do Jack and Janet have a conspiracy going on? Any suggestions?

I haven't been home for the past two nights, but she has been with my aunt at my house. When I went to bed last night, she was sitting up, and her front legs were trembling. I pulled her to me and laid her on my chest to comfort her, but she was still trembling, and it sounded like she was wimpering. I laid her back on the bed. Sometime early this morning she jumped off my bed and went to lay down under the bed. This isn't highly unusual, but it's not an often occurence either. She usually only jumps off the bed when my boyfriend is over, or if she wants to go outside. She also usually gets up with me in the morning, and goes outside while I get ready for work. This morning, I got her out from under the bed, and tried to take her to her food and water, but she seemed uninterested. She just turned around and ran back to my bedroom and under the bed. This isn't like her, she is a very energetic and friendly dog. I am very worried, please help.

I really love dogs, but my family's beliefs do not allow having dogs.
I can't have one now as I live under the roof of my parents, but when I finally have my own spot, my family will still forbid me. Should I go against them and get a pet dog?

How quicky do they grow. I have three and they are sharing a 10 gallon aquarium, but they are only slightly bigger then a quarter. I bought them 3 months ago and was wondering how quick they grow and the ideal size aquarium for all three for when they get bigger? I was told they adapt to their environment, and if I kept them in something small they would stay small, if kept in some thing large they would get larger, but found out that's a lie, so I want to make sure I'm prepared for when they get older.

I would like to get one of those dogs that nobody wants and they're getting ready to kill. Then I'd have somebody to share this horror show with.

Hello. This is a true story so please don't think I'm making it up, lol. My friend has this massive orange cat named Winnifred. He's like, the size of a small dog. He's huge. And, he is so mean it just isn't funny! Now, Winni has like, really long hair and so it's always getting matted. MY friend tried to cut the mats off him but he scratched her up really bad. So, she took him to the vet/groomers. When she came to pick him up an hour later his back end was half shaved and his front end wasn't even touched. The groomer said that they had tried to shave him, but he was such a wild animal that even with three people holding him down they couldn't get the job done! They instructed my friend to never, ever bring her cat to them agian! My friend doesn't know what to do. She also says that she dosn't want to take Winni to the vet and him him put out for the job cause she dosn't want to risk anything. (No sure what the risks are, but that is always her excuse, lol.) Suggestions?

Can a mother cat give coccidia to her kittens? She had kittens about 2 days ago and I think she might have coccidia. I am going to get medication for her. She is a foster.
