Pets - 2 November 2006

Hi I bought a very large exercise ball -Like those balls that hamsters go inside except much bigger- (box has a picture of a ferret and a guinea pig on it.) I have a dwarf rabbit. can a bunny be trained to use the exercise ball? I put her in there once but she just sat there not knowing what to do.

Should I keep putting her in to see if she gets the hang of it or should I try to return it to the pet shop (do they accept exercise balls back)?

Has anyone here got a bunny to use an exercise ball?

My dream was about me and my family were on our way to Mexico. My dad was driving and like we were on a bridge looking out the window when i seen like clear clean water full of huge fishes i mean the fishes were huge and they were so colorful they're were some with glitter on them and some were black and some were dead. I don't know why i dreamt of that but i hear that when you dream of fishes someone close to you or you may be pregnant, but when i did some research i seen that is says that you gained some power or strenth... i am confused so what does it really mean????

My puppy just recently got his rabies shot now their is a cyst like lump in the area where the shot was given. Is this normal? I worry about it being something else but it popped up so quickly after having the shot. It doesn't seem to hurt him at all and he is acting like his usual self. If this is normal how long does it last and when should I have it checked out by the vet?

I would prefer something that looks similar to an ocelot, is much larger than the typical housecat, makes a good pet, and can be trained to be walked like a dog. I have looked into the possibility of an ocicat, but they are a bit smaller than I am interested in. I am leaning toward a bengal right now- any suggestions?

He seems to love chewing on the molding in the house. And being as big as he is, he strips in right down from the ceiling. He has chew toys to play with and he is let out a couple times a day when my son is working. Would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks

My cat was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection yesterday. The doc gave him an antibiotic shot, and some pills to take for the next 7 days (Clavamox 125mg). He has not improved at all yet today, and I am now noticing blood in his urine (none was visible until now). Is this a sign that it could be something more serious, or could the antibiotic be causing that? Thank you!!

I currently cook my dogs food becuase the vet says she probably is allergic to artificial flavors. Does anyone know where I can get that type of food in a can from a store?

I have a cat who recently started growling and he puts his leg up in the air and grooms himself repeatedly on his ... privates. He has never done this before and I'm wondering if this is a sign of an illness like a kidney infection or if he possibly fought with my other cat and got injured there. It's really weird because he just keeps grooming himself there and making weird growling noises. Please if you have any advice I would appreciate it from vets/vet techs or people who have been in the same situation. Our local vet is booked up for 2 months! so I really don't know what to do.

OK well i just bought a Central American Red-Tail Boa from the local
pet store. its not to bigid say maybe a foot and a half or maybe
more. i got it for $45 if that even matters but right now i only
have it in a 8 gallon tank. it seems plenty big enough i mean he
dosent seemed cramped and can move fairly easy. I used just bark off
the tree and a little branch for it to climb on. i have a piece of
bark set so it can hide from the light. and a water dish. i got
regular sand from the pet store for the bottom of the tank and the
light is a 30 watt daylight heat lamp from ESU Reptiles it says its
meant for reptiles. and thats all thats heating the cage right now.
also the cage is in the window seal so sunlight can hit it. the
light i got is one that sits on the screen and lights it like that.
thats pretty much how i have my snake set up for now. If anyone has
any suggestions on how to make the cage better or anything i
shouldnt be doing plz tell me.
