Pets - 24 October 2006

when you catch a fish, and prise the barbed hook out of its top lip, then throw it back in again......... just what is the point? and why cause potential pain to the fish ( I say potential coz no-body really knows if they feel pain do they?? so that means potentially they could) Justify this activity if you can, and the best (funniest) reason for standing/sitting at the crack of dawn, freezing cold watching a float bobbing about, gets the 10 points.......I await amusement..............

Well, first off I was given some Hartz 3in1 flea drops for my 2 year old cat Brooklyn. Ever since then she acts like it burns her head, and is acting really weird. I done some research, especially here on Yahoo answers and found out that Hartz is DEADLY. Just great - now I need to give my cat a bath. I've been trying to get ahold of a vet and nobody in my area is open and nobody can help me, so I have to wait for 3 hours before they open.

My question: How do you give a cat a bath without getting your arms tore up? She's still eating food and meowing, but I am not taking any chances. I love this cat too much and I will NEVER use Hartz again. PLEASE HELP!

My dog is not walking normally without predazone and I'm a bit worried after reading how toxic this drug can be. Does anyone know of any alternatives? She's a 14yo Doberman.

Dog(s) will be outside in large garden a lot of the time. I need to convince wife that two will mean less scratching at door / digging up plants etc

We have used the following and so far it has not worked; Bob Martin's Home Flea Spray, Silent Flea Spray for the cats and Spot On. I've had nearly 50 bites and we have an 8 week old baby boy.

We have just added a 3 month old Beagle puppy to the household.
How does one train it to use outside to relieve itself.
We have looked around to buy a book on the subject but no luck up to now!!!!!

Sorry if this has been asked for many times. My puppy is hospitalised at the moment, the vet said he's likely to pull through. The question is, will my puppy catch parvo again if he survives? the vet didnt give me a clear answer (doh). From what i've gathered from websites, parvo can be caught again and some websites say my pup will be immune to it for life. My family has a lot of children I cannot prevent them from touching my pup during my absence (you cannot be sure your house is thoroughly disinfected) And the last question is :- will plain yogurt help restoring the damage intestinal tract? Apparently my wallet is totally drained, I cant afford any more probiotic shots ;( I need an extra job! And yes, I will get my pup vaccinated once it recovered. thanks.

My small kitten's whiskers seem to have fallen of. It looks as if the kids cut it off with siccors - could there be any other reason apart from the kids?

I run an animal shelter for rescued dogs and cats. This place is infested with ticks and I just don't know how to eradicate the problem without using commercial chemical which can be harmful to all 200 dogs here.

Why do pet snakes (and some undomesticated ones) tolerate being held, without biting? I know boa constrictors and ball pythons aren't poisonous to humans (at least I think I do . . . If this is wrong, please correct me - I'm interested in knowing), but I'm not refering to a deadly bite here, just "Hey, put me down!" I'd also be interested in knowing if venomous snakes have an "option" to inject venom or not when they bite? No real reason, just interested. Thanks.

I adopted a not quite two month old kitten. It had worms, a problem with it's eye, and a respiratory infection. At first she was getting better with the eye medicne and antibiotic but now she isn't hardly eating or drinking. She started sneezing and there are blood clots along with fresh blood coming out of her nose. Mostly when she sneezes. But at times the blood just drips out of it and she acts as if she is in pain and doesn't want touched. She was a very loveable cat who liked to play. Is this something serious and should I have her put down?
