Pets - 4 November 2006

I'm an American living in Singapore on business and adopted a kitten since I've moved here and I'm not that confident in the vets here (everyone in this country hates cats, one of the highest rates of cats abuse - poor things) but the vet used a solution to clean the cats ears and gave me some hydrogen peroxide with hibitane to use to clean her ears at home. Does anyone know if this is safe - according to some searches I did on the net - some sites say it's good and some say it's not. Any experience with this??

I have a boarder collie, He is a great dog, very loving and very friendly. So the problem is, He is too loving and friendly, and when he gets that lovin feelin, he will not listen. This is not just when is comes to romance either, if he sees a person he will not listen he takes off to get affection from them but not all of us are dog lovers and some of us are afraid of dogs, even on a lead this will happen, my normally obediant friend no longer hears me, if a guest comes to the house, same thing and now I have to put him in another room or out in the yard to stop him from jumping up, which he knows is not allowed, I don't get it, when its us at home he is very well behaved and follows commands and is the 'perfect dog' but throw someone new in or another dog and he may as well belong to someone else, he will not listen.

i am trying to figure out why one of my cats always hisses at our other cat when one is gone for 24 hours. this past summer our youngest cat got spayed, and was gone for 24 hours, and our cat hissed/seezthed at her. why is this? i know cats are Territorially, but this seems far....

I have a female kitten that is about 8 or nine weeks old. Ever since we got her she has had terrible gas, the sillent but deadly kind. She has only been dewormed once and is an inside cat, eats solid food. Other than this, she seems very normal, energetic and playful. Any ideas?

I adopted her from our county shelter, where they gave me a copy of her health record- indicating that 1 month ago when they recieved her, she was wormed, ears cleaned, nails trimmed, frontline, FeLv/FIV, RCCP-Felo-vax-IV and just recieved her rabies vacc.
So I dont believe she has worms,etc. and I only feed her dry science diet indoor kitten & water. No wet or people food.
Why does she have BAD gas? lol it is not constantly, but quite
a few times per day. left over anesthetic? help!

My cat, Gwen, has an ongoing issue that is pushing me to the limits. She keeps urinating on the same place on my sofa! I have tried all the products I can find at the pet store to remove all traces of her “issue”. I am now in the middle of cleaning my sofa for the umpteenth time! I have even tried putting foil on my sofa as a deterrent and after a couple of days, she whizzed on the foil! Gwen is about 2 years old, healthy and I adopted her 8 months ago. She has been doing since I got her! I do have another cat but they are best of friends, the best kitty sisters ever!

I don’t want to get rid of her, but this is getting be a real problem. Please, please help me!

My pug just had surgery yesterday to open it's nasal passages so it could breathe better. However, when I picked her up yesterday her nostrils were really big and are still big today. Is this normal? Are they always going to be big? I loved her pug-nose, but now it's just a nose with big nostrils, if that makes sense. Ever heard of this?

He is 2 yrs old and I rescued him from a neglectful owner about 2 weeks ago. His fur was falling out because of fleas and his mouth had sores, he was malnourished and very badly treated. Now that I have him he is doing very well, he is very sweet. He is white with black ears and a black tail. Medium length fur. I want to give him a strong name he can be proud of and to give him a start on his new life, any suggestions?

Hello
I have a 4yr old neutered bichon male that continually urine marks inside. We rescued him when he was 1 from people that didn't housetrain. I have read through all the tips, problem is, he is one of 4 dogs, so we hit the following problems 1: catching him in the act as he does this at night usually when I'm asleep 2: taking feces outside and showing him this - what if another dog did the poop? - do you see my problems here?? - I have a gaggle of little dogs in my house but I am almost certain who the "poop perp" is !! - should I put the others at the sitters for a few days maybe? to deal with the pee machine 1 on 1? anyone else have this problem ? - also just wanted to explain, the dogs are in and out of the house all day, plenty of opportunities to "go", they always have a last run outside prior to bed. I even altered their dinnertime to earlier so maybe they digested and "went" sooner, thus eliminating the night problems. Any ideas ??
Thanks - K

My 13 week old maltese had a bowel movement a bit ago and it was pretty soft, not to the extent of liquid though, and it seemed to have some sort of yellow something in it. I haven't fed him anything out of the ordinary. He's slept a lot today too, more than usual I think. Any clue about what may be wrong?
