Pets - 3 December 2006

I was wondering if the medications from 1-800-Petmeds are exactly the same as the ones that the vets offer? I recently bought a 3-month supply of Revolution for my cat from the vet for $75, and when I went online to check the price on 1-800-Petmeds for the same exact product (same brand name and quantity), is was only $45! Is there a difference in potency or something, or is this truly a bargain? Thank you!

A man driving through the woods hit a rabbit. Quickly stopping his car he pours a bottle of liquid over the rabbit. The rabbit jumps up and walks back into the woods waving goodbye all the way. What was in the bottle?

I have a 25+ Arab mare who foundered last June due to lack of activity (and a big weight gain!). She had a rotation of 10 left hoof, 11 right hoof on her front hooves and but has shown improvement in her xrays from the past 6 months of 3 degrees (7 left, 8 right). My vet says she can be only hand walked and to aim for an overall improvement of at least halfway to a rotation of 4 to 5 degrees. Does this mean she will never have a zero rotation and therefore never be completely sound? Can she be walked safely under saddle on soft indoor arena footing? Or, can she be lunged at a slow trot?
Other details: She is used as a family pleasure / trail horse, no hard work. We got the extra weight off her. The inflamation is under control and she is on daily turnout w/o meds. She is comfortable walking and can make tight turns. Vet also recommended .05 ml of ACE 2x day to increase hoof circulation and faster re-growth of the hoof. She has pads on her front hooves.

I adopted a stray black kitten and this bugger is wild. I never put much stock in what they say about black cats but mine arches it back and does these crazy voodoo dances. I never seen other color cats do this.

I will put my hand up and it will arch its back and get this look like it is possessed. It is wild.

I don't know for sure, but I TRULY think my fish is sick. He use to be VERY active, now he's not. I just came from out of town not to long ago at all. We stayed out from Friday to Sunday (today), and he acts unusual. I had to keep tapping the tank to get his attention, and I NEVER have to do that. And, it took him so long to come back up onto the top of the water. It seemed as if he wasn't hanging on to well. When he'd swim up...he'd float down a little, and had to force himself right back up. I fed him also, though he took one of the pellets, he didn't eat everything.

The touch of the water is cold, so maybe that could be it I'm guessing? Just PLEASE help me out, I've been having this fish for over a year now.



Extra Info: Tank isn't to big, not TOO small. He's VERY active. He's playful and pays attention to things. He's NEVER acted sick before. It's been a while since we've cleaned out the tank, though it still looks in very good condition.

I have 4 Minature-Dachshund puppies that are almost 3 weeks old. I know it is way to early right now to let their new owners take them. When is the average age they are taken away from their mothers.
Thanks

HELLO!!!! im guessing that some of you are dog showers and i would appreciate it if you would tell me some of your experiences in dog shows. What all do u have to do to show them and do they have to learn special tricks to be involved? And do they have to ha ev "papers" to show that they are full blood? like pure bred.

They can't very well sit in the trees. And they can't go very far because when the winds die down, they reappear. Like magic!
Anyone truely know? Don't laugh! I'm serious, and have wondered this for quite sometime. (little birdy shelters we don't know about?)

all at once, no prior issues, no poison found. buffy was acting fine all day. i lay down to take a nap and heard her outside in the hallway, whimpering and bumping. i came out and she had pooped in the hallway and was trembling and whimpering on the staircase landing. i carried her downstairs to her bed. she was panting heavily, but isn't now. now she is droolong a lot, and cannot stand very well. i hand fed her some chicken, which she ate, and sat her water bowl in front of her which she has been drinking from, but she seems uncoordinated, being very careful and gingerly lapping up the water.
