Pets - 2 November 2006

Ok this question is kind of nasty so pls dont read on if you have a weak stomach... My dog always goes out in the morning and has a poo, this is fine, he then goes out for a 2nd one which is almost always loose, why is this? His 1st is never loose. He is a 5 month old Border Collie and is on a complete working dog food which he has been on for 4 weeks, this happened before we put him on this food, while he was still on puppy food. There is no sign of blood, he is fully vaccinated and wormed up to date, he is fine in himself but I clean up after him and it isn't pleasant!

We have recently brought our pet rabbit (who has lived in a clean hutch and had no communication with other rabbits/animals) inside in the hope to make him a house rabbit. We are trying to toilet train him and his box is kept in the bathroom. Both myself and my boyfriend have been sick (vomiting/diaroheea/stomach cramps) and we were wondering whether we may have picked up something from our rabbit.

Does anyone know if there are any diseases that can be passed from rabbit to human? or where I can find more information about it?

My boyfriend and I really want to adopt a kitten, but he lives in a 450 square foot studio apartment. Is is mean or inhumane to keep a cat in such small quarters. Any advice would be a help! Thanks!

She is slightly overweight, maybe 3 or 4 pounds. I give her premium dry dog food and have tried several different brands. She's somewhat active for her age, but this gas problem which comes mainly at night is about to get her banded from the bed. She gets very little people foods.

Please give me one logical reason, not media hyped, for why you think "Pit Bulls" should be banned.

Especially when many humane societies recommend "pit bull" type dogs as family pets because of their stable temperament, high pain tolerance, and desire to please people.

And I don't want none of that "I know someone that was attacked" BS. I want logic. Not Hype. Or a solitary personal situation. I talking as the breed as a whole, not an individual dog.

Our little Pomie is 6 years old. She seems okay generally, although she prefers to hide in our closet rather than be with us most of the time.

Every once in awhile she cries out in pain for no aparent reason. Loud yelps, like she is having a very sharp pain. Sometimes one yelp, sometimes several in a row. This happens about 1-2 times/week. It's heartbreaking because we don't know why she is in pain or how to help her.

We have had her to the vet, but he can find nothing wrong. He's touched her all over and she shows no particular sensitivity to touch. The vet checked her for fleas or ticks, and can't find anything. Her bathroom habits seem to be normal. We can't find any reason for her to cry out like that.

Like I said, it is heartbreaking. We don't know how to help her, and neither does the vet since he can't find a problem.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Can you give us some suggestions as to what might be wrong, or how to help her?

Thanks so much

Lets say your pet has fleas. You buy him or her a flea collar, and they go away on the animal. However, the fleas somehow decide they want to continue living in your home (somewhere not so close to where the animal resides). How do I get rid of them!?

We' ve recently torn down our old fence and replaced it with a new redwood fence. Several days ago, our male dog began "coughing", which sounded like he was trying to cough up a furball. Doing research tonight on the internet, it appears that this could be kennel cough caused by excess dust. My husband and I read that along with antibiotics, they often give cough medicine. Does anyone know the type? Is it in liquid or pill form?
