Pets - 24 November 2006

I have two Pacu's when i bought them i was told they were vegitarians. I have a 125 gallon fish tank, in that fish tank i have the 2 pacu's, 5 black skirt tetras and 2 bottom feeder plecostamus. Over the period of a month i have lost 4 of the 5 tetras. Mom said their is no way for the plecostamus to eat them, he has no teeth and sucks on his food, but my pacu's are suppose to be vegitarian even though they are both over a foot long and could easily devour your finger much less another fish. My boyfriend is blaming it on my plecostamus and i am blaming it on his pacu's. Has anyone ever had an experience with Pacu's before? Any suggestions appreciated.

I want to get a clownfish, but I was wondering if I need a lid. I saw how much the lid costed but it is really expensive. They lid costs more than the aquarium.

I own several dogs and have lots of experience with the animal however, I am not a vet. I was a nurse before my illness but, I dont even try to diagnose my own dogs. I know it can be expensive but, please people....You claim to love these animals yet you place their well being in the opinions of others on line?? Why is this page anything other than a way to talk about our dogs? Shouldnt these questions be more about the discussions we had with our vets after they have been seen?

My cat is usually a good cat, but just more recently (like within a couple of weeks) she's been attacking my sister viciously. I think it's because she runs around screaming a lot. It's weird because she only attacks her and it's just been in the past few weeks. Can anyone send me any good advice or sites on strange cat behavior? Thanks.

Because we're payin $40 a month for Royal Canin, when I heard some better quality dog food is out there for cheaper! Is that true? If so, then what are some high quality brands of dog food, that isn't uncommon and can be found at my local Petco/Petsmart?

My mother in-law was trying to be kind to my puppy, and when I was not present, had given her a turkey leg to chew on. She did not know the dangers of giving a dog turkey bones. My sister had lost her beagle when she got into a turkey carcus. The bones had spintered and pierced her intestine.
After I found Coco crunching on the turkey bone, I immediately picked up what was left and called the vet. They said to watch for vometing, dirrareah, loss of appitite. She did throw up this morning, but otherwise seems to be acting ok. I just started a new job last week, and couldn't really call in right away! I am the only one here today, everyone else is on vacation (I work in a small 4 person office)....so, I brought Coco in the office with me to keep an eye on her. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THE SAME? I will take her immediately to the vet, job or no job if anymore symptoms show.

Yesterday I found a dog. It looks like a Border Collie with no tail. She looks healthy and well groomed. We haven't found the owner. She won't eat dog food. She will only eat turkey. She won't drink or go to the bathroom either. Is something wrong with her?
