Pets - 23 October 2006

I would like to hear from people that have used it with success.. My dog is an esape artist, I got this in an attempt to stop him from climbing the fense. I use it on him, and I can tell that he feels it but it does not stop him from climbing the fense and running into the neibhors yard. should I keep trying? I have only used it on him a few times. yes, he is fixed btw.

I posted a message last month to ask for any advice on finding my missing pedigree cat. To my delight she was handed into the local vets exactly a month to the day she went missing. I was so glad to be reunited with her and would like to thank those who were kind enough to post helpful advice. The man who found her for me had a reward from my insurance company for £250. There are some decent people out there after all. Thank you x

Our 6 month old kitten has had a recurrent problem with pooping on our dining room carpet. He started out using the litter box but then began to use the plants, then the dining room floor. I have researched, talked to vets, etc etc and don't know what to do. We did finally put newspapers down with red pepper on them and that stopped him until I picked them up after a couple of months. Now he is doing it again. I don't think he's doing this to be mean. He just seems to like this area and of course now it is marked by that scent. I can't replace my carpets and I don't want to give him away but I have to stop this. Any ideas?

I have a new cat (he's between 1-2 years old) and he has a curly tail. I've never seen a cat with a curly tail before. The vet told me it could be a birth defect or maybe the tail got broken and this is the way it healed. Has anyone every heard of a breed of cats that have curly tails?

He seems to be allergic to everything - is breaking out and chewing on himself until his rearend and tail are almost bald. The Drs. have tested him for mange and it is neg. They said to give him special food in case it's a beef allergy. After 4 weeks he is worse instead of better. I'm running out of money for vets and ideas of things to try,but wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience? I bathe him in a special menthol-charcol shampoo and give him Benadryl and he is still itching.

I have one of those deep rock style things for my cat to drink out of...However, she much prefers to drink out of glasses of water that I leave around the house! She also will try to MOVE her water dish or tip it over...why does she do this? I keep it clean and refill with fresh water often....

First, I should stress that I am 100% committed to solving this problem, and that I'm a responsible pet owner and so on. But my cat is suffering from the most horrendously foul smelling poop you can possibly imagine. What's more, he has recently started defecating outside of his litter box on the bathroom floor, several times a day! At first I thought it was an accident "positioning" his body correctly in the litter box, but yeserday I came home to find that he'd gone in the bathtub, which is just grotesque. (He's a big boy, around 20 pds, so these aren't exactly rabbit pellets we're talking about.) His litter box is always clean, with fresh litter, and I've tried several different brands and types. He eats like a pig, but his stool is always soft, never firm. I've tried several different hard foods. At the moment he's on Science Diet Sensitive Stomach formula. The good news is that he hasn't had any accidents outside the bathroom. Help?

I want to get a medium size dog and I will be a very responsible dog owner but I travel approx 6 times a year and may not be able to take the dog with me on each trip. I know a lot of people who have dogs tell me that they can't go places because of the dogs. Dogs don't like to be boarded? Are there any other alt? We don't really want to leave them at the friends.

he goes to the bathroom outside whenever we are home, but whenever we are gone, he has always went to the bathroom on the carpet in our dining room. (gross i know). but just the other day we ripped out all the carpet and we now have wood floors! what can we do to get him to go to the bathroom, say, in the kitchen in front of the back door where he normally goes outside or something? we DON'T hit him. and we can't put him in a crate no matter how big it is, because he always goes to the bathroom in there, and then sleeps in it and drags his bed, blankets, and toys into it. so we have to wash EVERYTHING including him.
help please!!!!!!
he's a chihuahua, by the way.....

Anyone have any success stories?
