Pets - 11 November 2006

I was recently given a, now, 6-week old kitten, due to her mother abandoning her... i've had her for over a week now... and she's been eating, drinking, sleeping, everything just fine... I believe it was yesterday my kitty seemed like she had a stuffy nose... she'd sneeze alot... but she hasnt today yet.. I dont think she can breathe much from her nose.. cuz when she breathes from it, it sounds like its really clogged up, and its kinda runny.. I know this is gross... but i've never had a sick kitty.. and its starting to scare me... cuz she hasnt eaten since this morning.. and shes been sleeping for most of the day... which she usually doesnt do unless its right after she's gotten done eating... She's already went to the bathroom and everthing, but she wont eat.. which is unusual b/c she never turned down food before, and its her favorite kind. My father said it might be pastorel pneumia??

Please help... What could it be? and can it be treated quickly? Any1 else have this happen? Thx.

Hi.

I bought a tank setup for my goldfish today and I also bought some other goldfish.

MY QUESTIONS:

1.) What should I name a calico shubunkin and an orange comet goldfish?

2.) Is it normal for a shubunkin to have a black eye? One of its eyes is completely black. The other one is normal. The shubunkin acts completely fine and is very frisky. The eye isn't bulging or anything... there's a black patch of skin by the eye that's black... is this normal?

I have some neighbors that grossly mistreat their dogs and I have filed several complaints and it appears they are finally going to have to pay for what they're doing to these animals.

This has got me thinking though and how are these for some new doggie laws? lol

1.) All litters of puppies must be reported to the county at birth. If a dog has more than 1 "oops" litter, that dog's owner will be ordered to spay their animal.

2.) All puppies must cost at least 50 dollars to prevent people who can't afford to take care of them from bringing them home because they're "cute."

3.) Puppy litters should be taxed based on number of puppies and frequency of litters born.

4.) Anyone who does not follow the above stated rules would face a year in jail.

I know this will probably never happen, but wouldn't it be great if it DID?

I adopted a 4 month old puppy from a shelter/ She is a lab and terrier mix. She is great dog and almost all house trained and also crate trained. However in the evenings she has bursts of energy and all she wants to do is nip and bite. I have tried everything to get her to stop, she doesn't listen at al when she is having he tantrums of nipping and biting fun. She isn't hurtful in any way but the playing is getting out of hand.

I've been looking at other questions about this so, before anyone asks I know she isn't lonely and no she doesn't stay outside 24/7. We bring her in during the night (around 6 pm and let her outside around 9 am) I go outside about every couple of hours to play with her but, it seems during those couple of hours she is digging! I try to "trick" her and try to catch her digging but, I haven't been able to yet. She has a ton of toys (which she destroys within a few minutes of receiving...) I know she is a very spoiled dog (thats my fault, we don't have any kids yet so we act like she is our baby) but, every since she came home from the vet a couple of months ago (she had gotten parvo & had to stay at the vet for a week and she had never been in a cage or been away from me for that long) she has destroyed everything! Also, she is very happy and very healthy. she weighs about 70-75 lbs. I don't know how to make her stop destroying stuff or digging. If I could she would be the perfect dog

What else other than pet fish can cheer me up? (No dogs, or cats.)

Maybe a reptile, then?

I really want a kitten but my dad says since we are moving in a year, no. I am ok with this I guess, but I love cats! Is there anyway I can volunteer work for something involving cats or puppies? I am 12 so I am not sure if that is too young. A pet walker? A cat babysitter for when people are away?

I have got a cavalier king charles spaniel of 8 months who doesnt eat his dry food. We prefer to give him the dry stuff rather than the wet stuff beacuse its better for him but my dog would rather starve than eat the dry food. We have tried all kinds of dry food but he doesnt like any of them. We have even tried mixing a bit of the wet stuff in but he only eats very little of that. He is also very hyperactive. Please help me on what i should do to get him to eat his food.

Is it good to feed a dog more than one type of food (not including treats). My dog have been eating 1 type of dry food and i feel bad for it. Is it ok for me to buy something like...canned food and feed it once in a while (along with the dry) to add variety to his diet? My dog will eat anything so feeding it won't be much of a problem. Thanks!
