Pets - 15 November 2006

I am feeling my cat royal cannin dry food and whiskas canned food combined daily. The only reason i am giving him cheap whiskas is because im not in the USA and that all that's avaliable here. A few days back I gave him some chicken that i boiled myself and he ate it. Ever since then he has not been eating and has strange bowel movements (either long and skinny and brown, --or waterly and yellowish). In addition he has been very letheragic and vomiting water today and one hair ball yesterday.
Yes i am taking him ot the vet tonight , but anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong with him? I don't know if its related to the chicken or not. Thanks for any descent answers!

I realized that my puppy was chewing on two cotton balls that my neighbor must have left behind. So immediately I went over to take them away, but he started growling and bit me very hard. Im still bleeding. He never behaved like this when I took things away from him before. And it was so different from the way he nips at my jeans when he wants to play. I don't know what to do. Im scared of him now and he's only a little guy (a maltipoo). I have been training him; he is house broken and knows sit, stay, down- the basics for a puppy of 3 months. So its not like he isn't obedient. I give him so much love and attention and he is such a joy to me. I just don't know what to do. I don't want him to ever to bite someone else.

When I change the water, I see a lot of fine debris (look like broken up pieces of faeces that got agitated up from the gravel) for a few hours. Is it advisable to keep the fish outside the tank until the "dust settles"?

Let's just say that in scenario number one the kitten is a male and in scenario number two it is a female. What would you name it in both scenarios?

MY MOTHER HAS 2 OLD CATS, BOTH ARE ILL NOW AND AT LEAST THE 1 CAT MUST BE PUT OUT OF HIS MISERY, BUT THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN HELP WITH THE COST OF EUTHANASIA THROUGH THE VET'S OFFICE AND CREAMATION / BURIAL . WE HAVE BEEN ASKING VETS BUT THEY WILL NOT TELL US BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T BE MAKING THIER $89.00 FOR EUTHANASIA ALONE, IF THEY DID!
SO, ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO TO EUTHANIZE A CAT IN A HUMANE AND PAINLESS MANNER? PLEASE HELP! THIS POOR CAT GOT TOO SICK TOO QUICK, HE IS SUFFERING. WE LIVE IN THE CITY AND HAVE NO LAND TO BURY HIM ON, NOR DO WE HAVE A SHOT-GUN, LIKE THE OLD DAYS, NOT TO MENTION SHOOTING YOUR OWN PET IS JUST TOO VIOLENT FOR ME!

how much money would you spend on your cat for medical issues? or would you spend whatever it takes?

are you a bad kitty parent if you draw the line somewhere as to what you will spend on their well-being?

I caught a freshwater catfish, or so i think it's a catfish, it looks like a bottomfeeder but it's mouth is straight foreward so i think it's a catfish. Most likely it's a guppy catfish. so to keep it alive i need to know what it eats.

My dog had a small scratch on her elbows. There were dogs fighting over her food before she had it and perhaps one of them may have accidentally injured her. I believe it bled for a while because I saw blood on her fur. I applied betadine and after 3 days it seemed to be ok. I guess my concern is, will there be a possibility that she will get an infection?

ok, so don't even bother if you are just going to tell me to go to the vet or get a second opinion, because i am going to do that. what i am attempting to do is to educate myself as well so that i know remotely if our vet is taking advantage of us or if this is a typical way to seek answers to our problems with our cats.

so, my question is where can i find information that relates to our cats problems... our vet is so freaking vague & is only doing tests with no answer whatsoever for EITHER animal! so, i am going to explain the problems & if anyone has had a pet with a similar problem, please help with information!!! then perhaps i can narrow things down in this vast areana of information on the internet.

Help! I bought a Shepherd mix puppy at 4 weeks old, and she was the sweetest thing until about 3 months later. She get undivided love and care, and she is spoiled rotton. She has never barked, growled, bit, or snapped at anyone who lives in my house. But, when I am walking her or if someone is coming into our house, she acts like they have a gun aimed at me. She barks and growls and tries to bite them. She is sooo sweet with us though. She is not rewarded for this behavior, and if often punished, but she doesn't seem to connect. Most of my friends are afraid to come over because of her. How can I stop this behaviour?
