Pets - 29 October 2006

It was so sad because it was the skinniest little cat, but it was declawed, so it must have been somebody's pet at one point. I don't know if I should try and keep it until it gets better to put up a found sign or if I should just take it to the animal shelter. What are your sugesstions?

They will need shots, a bed, toys, a litter box, food dishes, collars, etc. Do they need to have separate food dishes? What is the best, low-scent litter management system? I want to have tracking devices put on them. How much does it cost?

I give my dog a bath every other day but when I get home from work he always smells like he hasn't had a bath in weeks. Does he have some kind of fur problem?

If a human gets strep throat can it be passed on to your dog?

her vet told me she was 3 kgs underweight she was always a fit and a little chubby puppy but since we moved a month ago she lost 3 kgs and her vet told me she needs to go them back up. so i was wondering what type of healhy food will help her gain weight (p.s she hates dry or dog food, and she eats everything from chicken, meat, and occasionally tuna to veggies and rice. ) and i stay away from all the dangerou stuff like onions garlic chocolate...etc the list is long

We just got a dog --a Pomeranian--the only problem is she stinks to high heaven! I don't know why, maybe because she lived with a lot of other dogs out in the orchards. What can we do to make her less stinky?

Last night I noticed that my cat's tail was bent in the middle and hanging limp. It seems very sensitive to the touch. I need to know if it will heal on its own, or if I need to take her to the vet.
Thanks.

I am confident my puppy has an ear infection - he doesn't want anyone to touch his ear and has wax coming out of his ear. I am going to call the vet tomorrow (Monday) to take him in because he just started showing symptoms yesterday (Saturday). Does anyone have any advise on how to keep him comfortable until I can get him into the doctor? (Could I try a warm compress or something like that? I don't want to try anything too drastic/putting anything in his ear before I speak with the vet as this is his first infection.)

I am interested in dog grooming as a profession. I did a 1-summer dog grooming internship and enjoyed it. I did some grooming and a lot of watching.

Next, I talked to dog groomers and heard many complaints. Most say that they are way to busy and have arthritis or some other problem from working with their hands all day.

I would like to here opinions about this job from actual groomers or those that know a lot about the industry. Will I be dissappointed like so many others? Would dog training or boarding be a better career choice?

We adopted a 13 week old puppy, half Fila Mastiff/Half St. Bernard. She is adorable and sweet most of the time. But she can become very agressive with us, biting and ripping at our clothes skin . . . what can we do? Is this her way of playing? Or ??? We tried getting her interest into her toys at times like these, or saying a FIRM NO! Nothing seems to work . . . any suggestions?

I was thinking of carving out a mini pumpkin and putting it in my bunny's cage to play with. Is it ok if she eats some of it? She's a dwarf bunny.

She dosen't have a mate so the eggs are unfertilized and she will not stop laying them. The first started laying at the end of May and I took the eggs out about 9 weeks after that. Then a week after all the eggs were gone she layed 8 more eggs.

I puzzle over this watching my dog circle around, and adjust, and readjust, until he finds just the right spot and pose.

Has anyone ever figured out what exactly makes a dog choose his target?

I do seriously find this puzzling. :)

I have always heard animals will go off when they know they are going to die. Anyone know why ?
