Pets - 12 November 2006

Hi, I have a pet guinea pig that I purchased a few months ago. It is a male Abyssinian. I currently have it on its own, and would like to purchase another one so that it does not get lonely. I certainly don't have the time or money to deal with guinea pig babies, so I was thinking of getting another male.

I've heard that 2 males together isn't necessarily a recipe for disaster, but I was hoping to get some more input. Also, is it ok to house 2 different breeds together?

Thanks.

Hello,
I recently bred my female pug, The puppies were fine but today both are panting and crying a lot. Their bellys are hard too. Im not sure what to do for them, I think maybe they have gas or are constipated. Any ideas ?

They fight when they are put into the same cage. they are both females and when i got them over the summer, they stayed together in the same cage. But then, one day i saw them and one had a bite on its back. So, i put them in seperate cages. About two weeks later, i tried to put them in the same cage and they started chasing eachother. One of the cages i have has a wheel and the other doesn't, so i have to keep trading the hamsters between cages so they can get their excercise. Any ideas on how to make them stop fighting or to a least get them in the same cage w/o one killing the other one?

She is 4-5 weeks old. I got her 2 days ago and on the first day she was very playful. For the past day and a half, she doesn't want to play and sleeps all the time. She also won't eat unless it is out of your palm, and she still won't eat much. She will eat maybe a quater of those little cans (3 oz) twice a day. She is litter box trained and has taken about 3 small #2's and 2 #1's in two days. Is this normal???

I have seen two Kingfishers at a river (probably the same one) within the last six months. Have been told that Kingfishers are very few and far between. Is this unusual. Live in Central Scotland

Every time, lately, whenever I take both of my miniature dachshunds for a walk, the oldest one goes crazy and growls, barks, even lunges at me - when we're done, and I let them back in the house. Then, he has a little "time out" to get rid of his temper tantrum, and is fine - acting like nothing happened. He's never, ever done this before, and, I wonder why he's doing it now?

I was wondering if they sweat, or if they cool down by panting.

whats the best dog to have when you have a new baby - id like one that is good with kids, will be protective but not to the point that friends and family cant hardly touch the baby without being growled at!! and one that will be able to tolerate a toddler messing with it constantly!!

wtf iz wrong with me :( I spent yrz wanting a siamese cat & now that i have one, It'z like i dont want it anymore :(.. I saved up alota' my allowance to get this cat, but now, I just don't know why I don't like her az much..
Why am I feeling this?
Plus, I thought of giving her back, the store I bought it from, doeznt give refundz, & they charge u 20$per day u take her before u give her back, n u can only "exchange" her with some other pet .

And, someone who worked at that pet store told me that yeah, i can exchange , but the one i have iz really rare here & they rarely get it in my country & that if i give it back & exchange , someone else will definitly buy her."Im not living anywhere near the U.S" just thought u should know!, Anwayz, & itz true, I did go through a hard time to find her..
So should I give it back & exchange ??? Or keep her, & get her pregnant by that same store with another siamese male & profit from it ??? U think it'z a good investment ??
Plzzz help me

Okay, we had a dog and a cat, and we have ended up having to get rid of them because we cannot stand the fleas. But Unfortunately that has not helped. We have Bombed the House with Raid Bombs, and the Foggers, and along with spraying the floors with 4 in 1 house spray. But The Fleas are still here. We have used up to 6 Bombs in our 3 bedroom house, and 3 more in the basement. AND THE FLEAS ARE STILL HERE!!!!!!!! I need some advice because I cannot deal with these Damn Fleas anymore. My Wife and kids are being eaten alive. I am ready to burn down the house.

There's a horse I ride quite often who is the sweetest thing alive until she sees a horse trailer. She totally freaks out even if you're juz walking past the trailer and starts backing up. At one stage she had to go to the vet and freaked out so much she ended up hurting her hindleg. She's obviously scared of loading because she probably had a bad experience in the past so I have to take a passive, non-forceful route to helping her. So pls if there r any horsey people out there with experience pls give suggestions.

I have always heard that right when you get a new male dog that you should pee on them to show them who is boss. Everyone thinks i am crazy.
