Pets - 24 October 2006

I have a pomeranian that just refuses to shut up. He barks at people, cars, birds, leaves, basically anything in general.
He is extremely hyper and loves to play fetch and go for walks.
He thinks he's really hardcore, until a bigger dog gets too close.

Our goats are "singing" all day long. Sometimes the whether sounds like he's screaming until his voice breaks.
bAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-A-a-a-a!!
They're not needing ANYTHING, water full, hay full and fresh, lots of room to run, etc. Now, I know that the "singing" is pretty normal. Yet it still sounds excessive
He's not gonna blow a goat gasket or anything is he?

some of you answered on my last question that Buddy hibernates in the winter, my question is since he is inside in a warm house will he still hibernate since it is that time of the year or does he need to feel the cold to let him know that it is time? I hope you know what I mean.

I have a cat that is about 10 and he constantly wants to eat. He will not let our other cat eat and will usually try to climb the counters to eat human food as well. The lady who used to take care of him spoiled him rotten. Is there any way to correct this behavior?

I posted a question on here last night about my dog's symptoms and she was diagnosed with tetanus by her vet today. I know that it is extremely rare for dogs or cats to get tetanus but how rare is it? I also need to know if it is important to find the source of the tetanus infection (wound or other)?

My daughter said that was not true--but a neighbor has raised them for 10 years and gives them fine gravel.

If you were in water that was swarming with piranha and it was at a time when they are aggresive. Could they kill you?

My cat (he's doing it right now guhhh!) fighting me for my macaroni and cheese... for some reason he likes hot food better. My question is this: How strange is it that my cat LOVES people food? Oh! He loves it... He usually has mannors, unless - like tonight - there is milk or cheese involved. He seems to like spicy food... all kinds of stuff. He hasn't ever gotten sick or anything like that (as he only gets "tastes"). But, is it abnormal? I give him a full bowl of food everyday and he eats it up everyday..slowly. He drinks A LOT of water (2-3) sm. bowls a day. Is he gonna be a fattie when he grows up? (he's 5 mo. now) Is it unhealthy, or is it like dogs? Also - real quick - I heard milk is bad for dogs, its not bad for cats is it?

im scared, i think he might die, he is a dwarf russian hamster, and he squeaks alot to get what he wants, never fights, he has one cage mate, another male named stalin, stalin, his friend, doesnt give into gorby's demands, so his squeaking has no effect on him, its cute, if they arent fighting. the problem now is, gorby started out yesterday making this clicking noise, i thought it was him clicking his teeth, like a rat, well, now i see his back moving up and down, like hes sneezing, and it is him making mini but rapid sneezes, he steped into a small puddle earlier, but only to get his paws wet, not his body, it seems like he had diahreah, only its not liquidy, but its not firm, its kinda soft, but not like squishy. i dont know what to do, i cant afford another vet trip, im still recovering from my last one. he also has been abused, kinda of a rescue, check my other questions for more info.its gorby, the squeaky one that im having problems with.

is fixed and lives indoors and has all of his shots so far. Is it "normal" that he still has desires to "boink" my blankets? Wouldn't this "desire" have left him since he was fixed? How common is it for this to still happen? Also why does my male kitten pick up his back leg to pea like a dog does? He started this a few months ago after he was fixed. My vet has no idea as to why this is??? Do you?? Serious answers only please. Thank you.

I have a 1 y/o dachshund. Like all the dacshunds my family had while growing up, he has a temper. He hasn't been to the vet or been sick in the past year, except for his vaccinations and check-up.

Now that he's older he has learned to hate everyone other than his family. He barked the entire time at the office and tried to bite the Dr's and asst's.

The trainer that I was referred to did not impress me. They said he's the best but he treated me as if I were dumb. He showed me tricks that he trained his German Shepherd to do, which he said "would be learned in all programs". *programs are $125, $500 and $1000*

Should I do this myself or trust the un-professional professionals?

My dog (14 year-old, Springer Spaniel) was put on Baytril tablets (enrofloxacin) for a colitis episode. Starting yesterday, I noticed some bladder leakage/ incontinence (not like piddling, or having accidents, but a slow leakage). It seems to be getting worse, but the Baytril course is almost complete, so I'm hoping the incontinence will end then. We're taking her to the vet on Friday, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with Baytril.
