Pets - 13 November 2006

When I am around my 4 month old kitten, he meows each time I say something to him. Is he really talking to me in his language, or is he just showing affection? (His mother and brother were caught and eaten by something outside when he was 2 months old, so we have kept him in since then, and he is stuck like glue to me & my husband when we are at home.)

Here is my situation...

Everyone thinks they are better than me. They think I am not good enough. People think they should have what they want instead of me. I am not good enough to have what i want, i guess.

Do I need a dog? I know a groomer, and a vet, and a kennel, and several people who could petsit. I know how do look for the right kind of dogfood. i also can afford a dog. So do i need a dog? Do you have a dog that has always been your friend? does it get mad at you? please tell me, DO I NEED A DOG???

I have a rosehair tarantula. She eats and drinks well. Latley i've noticed she seems...i donno, depressed? Like she's not herself, feeling under the weather. (no joke!) Last night she made a web on the bottom of her terrarium and later i found her laying on it, belly up. What's going on? I flipped her back over but she seems very weak. Her legs don't support her well and she is very slow moving. I've owned her for several months now. Any ideas as to whats going on?

My dogs have tapeworm. We have to keep them outside until the tapeworm is gone. They think that they are being punished, is there any way that i can teach them that they are not being punished? (We already gave them the medicine, we just have to wait now.)

I'm allergic to pet hair - it makes me sneeze, cough, wheeze, and sometimes my mouth swells up (for some strange reason!). But I'd love a pet dog. I've heard that poodles are good for allergy sufferers, but are there any other breeds that are good for people like me?

She used to be an out door cat so she got in a lot of fights, Her bottom two canines are gone and have been one for a long time. She's getting on in age so should I change her diet to elderly cats or soft food for kittens because of her teeth. P.S. she has been checked out by a vet... she's fine just getting old and cranky.

Hello,

My rabbit is a year old and has never been castrated. I keep reading articles about male rabbits that are uncastrated always trying to mount things etc......I have never seen my bunny do this! Obviously thats not a bad thing but I was wondering if I should be worried that something is wrong with my bunny? Are there actually specific characteristics of uncastrated rabbits? (He is a house rabbit and lives with 4 other people, no other animals)

I have a 6 month lab - good pedigree.. does neutering make them less agressive later in life? Is there a lot of work organising stud stuff? (paperwork and what not)Would it be cruel to put him to stud once and then get him done?

Some of the animal society places charge such high prices. I am elderly and want a house pet, preferably a male black and white kitten or even an older one that is affectionate! Please send your answers if you can help! I know there must be some places who do not kill an anilmal but will find a home for it. I just had to put my 13 rear old dog down because she was ill and I would like a house pet.Thanks for any help!

I have 2 dogs, they know where to go poop but are playing one against the other to see who can get in trouble. What food coloring or additive to their diet (without harm) can I add to see a difference in the color of one's poop?
Thank you.

He still runs around and plays, so it does not bother him unless you touch it, because it is tender.

My 1 1/2 year old cat has been having diarehea for about a week. I'm calling the vet today, but could it just be a virus or could it be something serious? She's acting fine otherwise. She's eating and drinking regularly? I haven't changed her diet?

my horse crib bites when he is stabled and also on the fence in his field. when he bites, he also makes a sucking noise, is this harmfull to him in any way? and how can i stop it?

ive also noticed the small pony that shares his field and is stabled opposite him, has started to crib bite, but only occasionally and doesnt make the "sucking" sound.
