Pets - 3 November 2006

I walk my dog on the beach and almost everyday he takes a couple bites of damp sand. The first time he did it I thought maybe someone had dumped food out on the sand, but this behavior has continued for a few weeks now. It does not seem to have any adverse effects on him, but it doesn't seem healthy either.

Any ideas?

He can be sitting in your lap asleep or resting comfortably and often wants attention afterwards.

I've never felt lucky - in fact quite the opposite!

I always say no and slow down but it's not working, he's 8 months old and still maybe teething but he has toys for chewing. Also when i want to move to another place in the house he snaps his teeth at me. help please.

i have a set of both but one of the pinchers just died, if i buy another male one so that the female will have company will it be okay if i combine them with the lovebirds, i'm thinking they might be lonely. or perhaps the pincher was already sick? i'm thinking this because ever since i brought them home a week ago, the pinchers were always apart.

Im really worried, i have almost no money, so buying a cage and extra stuff isnt possible, and nobody around here (ontario, california) seems like a good owner, people across the street are litterally insane, and except from our one neibor, who is too old for me to even expect him to care for a pet like this. hes a male rat, almost or over 2 years old, hes been fighting with his cagemate more than normal lately, both males. i picked up the older one, and noticed black marks and small lumps on his neck, i assume that they are scabs because the fur is kinda cleared araound it, like he was bit, i picked up his friend, and he doesnt have a scratch, and i always see them rolling around, and i try to break it up but they are too short for me to do anything without gloves (dont and cant be bit). when it happens, the younger one, by about half a year is being um, at the bottom of the tumble, i see the old one doing what looks like grooming on the young one alot, but never the other way araound

I want to find a way to report animal abuse that I witnessed in a local animal shelter and I would like it to be brought to the publics attention but our local newspaper will not help and please do not tell me to report it to the ASPCA OR PETA because I know aboout them but that will not help. So if anyone knows anyway to help with this please let me know.

My feeling is that the answer is no. But why is this? If a woman has her ovaries removed she will not suddenly become asexual. Does a cat no longer have any interest in the opposite sex when it has been neutered?

My fantail goldfish got stuck to the filter intake last night. I got him off, put him in a seperate tank without a filter for the time being. He is still alive, but very weak. He floats for a few mins, and then will swim a few inches, and float again. I tried to get him to eat, but he wont. He made it through the night, and seemed a bit better today. But I dont know what else to do. Im not ready to give up on him yet. HELP!

I have a dog that has been sweet up until the past couple of days. When we pet him, he growls and tries to bite. Anyone have a similar situation or suggestion? I'd hate to put him down, but I don't want anyone to get hurt. Thanks.

okay heres the story
there was a ittle girl in my school bus who brought a small bat with her in a jar with only a few holes to breathe in (apparently)
all the kids where trying to shake the jar to make it wake up, and where tying to hit it with their books

anyway..when we got dropped of to school, i ran up to the girl and asked her if she was going to let it free after, she said no! and when asked what she would feed it, she just shrugged her shoulders!
anyway...while i had a free period,( and she was at a swimming competition...by luck) i snuck into her class(i didnt know which one it was...so i checked every place) and i "stole" the bat -

...but i dont know whats wrong with it :/ it wont really move - dont know if i should just leave it somewhere cus if its sick and doesnt fly one of the stray cats will eat it

if i leave chelique(her name) with other bats, will they look after her, or are they not really that sort of animals??

Hey, I just got a maltipoo puppie, he’s about 9-10 weeks old. He’s so freakin adorable, but he has the tendency to be VERY hyper and he bites EVERYTHING in site… even people! I try telling him “no bite” and all of that stuff, but it doesn’t work, he comes back like I’m playing with him even more. At first I thought it was just teething, then I thought that it was because a maltipoo is a maltese/poodle mix and from the poodles ive met before, they’re mean and snap a lot, and I figured it was the poodle coming out of him, but now im not really sure. Can anybody give me any logical answers or help me try to stop it? Im afraid when he grows up he’s going to get into the habit of biting people as fore myself and I don’t want that! Heelppp me please.

Especially chicken bones, which is very brittle?

Will it wound their stomachs, etc.?
Is it safe?
