Pets - 27 November 2006

We have 2 African Greys, one for sure is male (tetsed) the other one we believe is a female, because she feeds him like a baby. Thats the only way he can really eat with her around. They are in the same cage, and the male is missing a significant amount of feathers. It is in areas where it could be self plucking, or her ripping them out, we have seen it happen. I heard plucking can happen because of boredom too.... I know alot of you are going to say seperate them, but I dont think we can afford another cage, and they make such a mess!!! The pull the paper up through the grate and rip it. They also dont talk as much as I thought they would, especially when people are around, but they are constantly around people (1 work at home mom and 3 homeschooled kids) And ideas? Sorry for so many questions.

He is a 1-1/2 yr old Siamese. A couple of days ago he began limping, then switched to putting no pressure on it (hind leg). Then he began walking on it again and now we're back to putting no pressure on it. He stretches it out behind him, but won't walk on it. He does not cry/wince. Can anybody give me a clue on what might be wrong? I do take care of him best I can (has good shelter, good food, fresh water) and he is affectionate with me. There are no obvious signs of injury, no red marks, no scratches, etc. I, unfortunately, am laid off work and cannot afford a trip to the vet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have two bassets. One is nearly three and a b*tch and the other is 7 months and a dog. I had the girl from a pup and she became very well toilet trained. I have a dog flap so she always lets herself out. Then I got the boy who I had since 5 months old so they've been together about 2 - 3 months. He wasn't toilet trained and peed everywhere, but then he started using the dog flap. But when I get in from work I find old drying pee stains everywhere and have been assuming its him. Then yesterday the girl peed on the carpet right in front of me! I couldn't believe it, there'spee everywhere and I never ctach who's doing it but now am thinking its her. Why is she suddenly doing this? Is it to cover his scent or is it as she's seen him do it she thinks its ok. Its doing my head in, my house stinks and I keep constantly cleaning the carpets with a hired carpet cleaner. She knows to go out, so toilet training her is useless, so why does she do it? Please can anyone help????

Which dog food brand is better for my labrador retriever.... Authority Harvest Baked, or Royal Canin: Labrador Retriever... I'm just being honest here, but I really DON'T care about what kind of food your dog is on or what you think is best. Yes, yes, yes, I know about the better/best brands out there, Innovo, Solid Gold, California Natural, Wellness, Karma, etc. but they're too expensive and my local Petco/Petsmart don't sell them, and no store in my area sell 'em! I really do want the best for my dog, so I just now switched him from Royal Canin:Labrador Retriever to Authority Harvest Baked. Was that a good choice?

I got my puppy about 9 months ago. He's a German Shephard/Lab mix. I have never loved a dog this much before. He is very loving and loyal and is just the best dog ever. I don't even think of him as a dog. He's like my son almost. I used to see people treat their dogs like that and think they were crazy and I've finally found a pet that I treat like that. I buy him lots of treats and toys, but I also maintain discipline with him. Is it wrong to spoil your dog?
