Pets - 4 November 2006

i just adopeted a young dog about 8 months old, and i noticed that it has a coughing problem. Sorta sounds like if it has something stuck in its throat. or like it needs to spit out a hairball, although it does not have very long hair.
can anyone help.
thanks for your time.

We was thinking about getting a siberian dwarf hamster, and we wanted to know how big they get, because we do not want one that gets really big. We know that they will not get very big, but we do not want a very big one.

I have a six month old and i want another dog. I want another so soon because im so used to having three dogs in the house but in the last year or so my two dogs died and i got a pup. I want a pup, but i think i might want an older dog for i have seen so many bootiful goolden retrievers, and i feel bad for the owner giving one up and i would like for the owners to give the dog to great home, for i have a great home for a dog. I mean we let our dogs run free outside for we do not live near a road and we have 17 acres, we also go swimming and hiking and all the fun stuff dogs get to do. THEY EVEN GO TO WORK WITH MY PARENTS! lol, so i think i want an older dog but im not sure i should get one so soon with a six month old pup. Do u think i can?

the bigger one has always been nice but playful and i cant tell if hes being mean to the kitten or not, they act like theyre playing but the little one acts afraid and would back away yet put his paws up to play at times or fight back? is this normal? do they hate eachother? is there anything we can do to help them get along?? please help.

My 70lb dog is on Phenobarb for seizures and seems to be drinking ALOT of water. Is this normal? I know it will take her a bit to get used to the med but just wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen. Thanks!!

I just got a letter from King County Metro saying. One of their Access Drive complain because my serivce dog have nuisance odor and is dirty. She was not dirty I been on Access, most of the time their floor are dirty anyhow, they don't sweep the floor as part of their job. Also she a labrador retriever. They said if I don't take care of the odor I am not allowed on King Coutny Metro and Access anymore. What the American With Disablities Acts say about that? Anyone who have a service dogs longer than me please answer as soon as possible thanks.

i am currently bottlefeeding 2 pit pups that are almost 3 days old and it seems like i feed them and put them down it don't take long for them to wake back up and want to eat again, oh and this is after i feed each of them for about 30-45 minutes straight. to me that seems a little long, when i look at the bottle they eat probably about 1 tablespoon each, so how can i make it to where they eat a little faster so they won't be hungry so often?

before anyone asks about the mother -she is feeding 6 of her pups and i am feeding 2 because she caused them to have some really bad wounds. i think it may have been an accident but they have stitches now and the vet said not to put them back with their mother because she may try to take the stitches out or if she attacked them then she may try to attack again.

It's my roommates cat but the dog was here first. The cat was raised around small dogs, mine is big. The dog was raised with a cat. We had to put him down. My roommates cat came not long after. The dog is just roams the house when the cat will attack her and by that she literally jumps on top of the dog. She is NOT playing!!! The dog either does absolutly nothing or barks. The dog thinks the cat is playing because that is how the other cat played with her. Giving one away is NOT an option!!! We've tried putting the cat in a carrier so she can get used to the dog and we thought it was working because she hasn't been yowling or attacking her the last 3 days but she attacked her today. What can we do? It's not fair that my dog should have to be outside all the time or that we should lock the cat in a room. Any suggestions would be helpful. It seems that the cat is trying to protect me and/or my roommate from the dog. Other details the cat is a year old and the dog is about 10 months old.

I had two cats (brothers) for the last two years. About four months ago, the one cat began peeing all over the place (which I caught him - the other religiously uses the box) and ruined stuff in my home (much of which had to be tossed out). I just got rid of him today, and yes I feel very terrible but had no choice. I am due to have a baby in a month and he has left me a stressed out mess due to his constant peeing problem. I had him to the vet, treated for UTI, he was on a special diet, the whole nine yards, but just wouldn't give it up. I cleaned his boxes twice a day, bought fresh litter, and did everything I could except take him to a specialist - so don't say I didn't try to help him please!!! However I am now worried about the other cat. Will he be sad when he realizes his brother is gone and not coming back?? What can I do to help him (which may sound dumb)??? I don't want him to quit eating and die or something like that - serious answers please!

I had a turtle before (a few yrs ago) and one day in winter, it didn't move no matter how much I poke at him. I thought it was dead.
Now when I come to think if it, could it be hibernating?? Did I kill him by dumping it to the trash???
