Pets - 5 November 2006

I've only had my puppy a week, and he hasn't had a very good appetite since I got him. At first I thought it was because he was still getting used to our routine and whatnot, but it seems he's losing alot of weight and doesn't want to play as much as I remember puppies wanting to play. He still has regular bm's and urinates. He throws up his food once in a while, and today it looked like he had some blood in his stool. I'm for sure taking him to the vet tomorrow, but the closest emergency vet is over an hour away and costs 5 times the amount of what my regular vet costs. I take excellent care of him, treat him like one of my kids, and only want what's best for him. Has anyone else had something similar happen to their new puppy? He doesn't seem to be in pain, temp is good, could he just be missing his littermates?

I want to know, are there any health benefits with dry food? Or are there health risks with wet food? Or is it just preference?

Please give some details or justification w/ your answer. Please give informative answers.
Thank you!!!

I have a cat thats about 4-years-old.. and i love her dearly... 3 days ago, i recieved a baby kitten (old enough to do things on his own and to see), he was with another kitty who sadly didnt make it (both of the of them were fairly sick when we found them, and i wanted to nurse them back to health)... Well, now i believe this kitty is lonely, and im spending every second basically with her, I would really like her to get along and become friends with my older cat so she has some1 there for her to play with when im busy. But the thing is, my older cat is kinda anti-social (when we have lots of people over she hides, and she doesnt really like it when little kids are around her -- trying to hold her) and she hisses are my kitty and runs away.. (shes done this b4 with other cats/kitties)... How can i get them along?? is it possible?

Are cat people typically quiet & shy. Quite the opposite for dog people? I love all animals, but I've always been drawn to cats.

My family just returned home from walking in the parks with my dog, and we found a tick near his 'private.' we took it off after a long struggly of probably about ten minutes, and now the part where it came off of is very red. It probably had some time to suck up some blood and we are very worried. We cant take him to the vet since its a sunday evening, and most of the animal hospitals are closed. Is there anything we can do for now until tomorrow, when we can take him to the vet? any emergency tips? please i dont want my dog to get sick or catch any disease that the tick might have carried!

I have a 6 month chihuahua and I was just going to call the vet to make an appt to have him fixed, but.... today his little wienne came out. Does this mean he is in heat??? If so how safe is it for them to be fixed while they are in heat. He is only 2 pounds 7 ounces. Any advice would be appriciated. Thanks

I just won a goldfish at a local fair last night. And I don't want to put it in tap water and it die. :\
And I don't know if I can get all the chlorine and conditioners and stuff everyone is talking about.
