Pets - 13 November 2006

My I yr old pit bull just had her first litter on Nov 5, 06. She had eight total, all alive and healthy. Four days later one of the puppies had died, then another one the next day, and one more the same night, and the last one the day after that. She was very upset and kept getting up to look for them. Soon after we noticed that her teats in the back were very swollen, and she wasn't procing milk. So I tried giving her a long very warm (NOT burning hot) bath, then I tried to massage the swollen teats. She didn't really seam all that confortable but she let me do it any way. The milk that came out when I did that, had a very strong odor to it and was kind of thick and oily. We have since been bottle feeding the rest of the puppies and they got chubbier, but now she won't stay by them or try to clean them. What, if anything, can I do for her???

Puppy pees for no reason, need help!!?

I have a 5 months old German Shepherd, have had him for about two months now. Here is the problem, he pees at the strangest times, when I talk to him, when I try to give him a treat, even when I am not even interacting with him. He is pretty much housebroken and lets me know normally when he wants to go outside to potty, I just don't know what to do to stop this, because its getting aggravating. Please Help!!

Why is my betta fish acting so weird??

He lays around all day, seems to have trouble floating and seems to be blind. If he stops swimming, he sinks rather fast. He lunges at pellets violently many times before he catches them, and no longer reacts to my other fish or my finger/mirror. Is he just getting old? He is about a year now.

i have small fan tail fish that hasnt grown and is acting weird any advice?

we call him freud as hes the darkest (speckled) fan tail we have, hes an inch long and when we bought him we bought him another speckled fan tail that was in the same tank and the same build...an inch long... the other fish (sigmund!) has grown to 3 inches but frued is still the same lengh... he often swims around and twirls upside down and corkscrews along the tank! hes pretty funny to watch but he seems to just float around now, hes still breathing normally but he justs let the filter push him along instead of swimming, is he just lazy? iv got a huge tank (3 meters lengh, 1.5 meters width and 2 meters high) he occasionally seems to make an effort, all our other fish are fine, we feed them blood worm and flakes (blood worm is a treat once a week!) is he on his last legs? hes pettern seems to be no movement for 20 seconds...quick jiggle for 5 seconds...hes never been like this!

hope hes ok! good advice will be rewardd with thumbs up and the best with 10 points

thanks
