Pets - 24 October 2006

I am trying to decide between getting a Rabbit or a Chinchilla. I live in a two bedroom apartment and will devote the same time and energy to both.

Why rabbits or chinchillas---
Dogs - No; live in apartment and don't have patience for walking in the cold or heat.
Cats - No; love them but my boyfriend is allergic to them
Guinea Pigs - No; I am allergic to them.
Ferrets - No; worried about smell and I don't think I will be able to clean the cage daily.
Any opinions?

My dog has no fever, it seems just a virus, tummy bug. Has had diarrhea 4 days now. The vet suggested putting her on bland diet, which I've done, and she's had 2 feedings so far, but she's not back to normal yet. I cooked for her rice, poached chicken breast, hard-boiled egg. Likes it and is eating well. I saw on another forum to give her canned pumpkin? or nonfat vanilla yoghurt? There is an anti-diarrheal paste to buy from the vet but I wanted to try to fix her up at home. Do you have experience with this? Thanks.

Because of the cat peeing in our hear vent, everytime we turn on the heat, we get the smell of cat piss. We need a way to get the smell out.

We have wood floors with rugs and she only walks on the rugs, if she has to cross over bare wood to get to another room she cries forever then runs as fast as she can across the wood??

Where can I get a puggle puppy that is within a reasonable driving distance from Washington D.C? I already have researched the breed, so I don't need any info from all the designer dog haters out there.

Thanks!

My dog is a full breed pomeranian and was breed with another full breed pomeranian. She is now pregnant. She was producing milk and seemed to have contractions sunday night. She was very uncomfortable and was not acting like herself. Well, the contractions stopped by monday morning. Today she is not producing milk. She is panting and scratching at her blanket. But other than that she is back to herself today. Her temperature is 100.4. Is their something wrong or do dogs have false labor? She has had pups before and did not have any complications.

Friday the 13th of this month, my beautiful bunny met a boy. They did their thing and I was prepared for the fact that she may get pregnant.

Yesterday, being the 10th day after mating, I sat down with her and tried the palpitating method to determine if she is pregnant or not. I am not sure if I did it correctly but I could not feel any "marbles" or "grapes".

I went on to do a visual exam of her (which I do periodically to make sure everything is well with her) and checked her teeth, paws and finally her vagina.

I was shocked to find that her vagina seems to have turned into a penis!!! I do know what the difference looks like and her being a female has been confirmed to me by 2 different vets.

So, the big question is... could this simply be some swelling? Could this be caused by the fact that she is pregnant, even though I could not feel any "marbles" while palpatating?

She seems in great health otherwise and very much herself personality-wise.. Please HELP?!
