Pets - 11 December 2006

i found my chihuahua 7 years ago. she is the absolute LOVE OF MY LIFE. i love her so much that i wanted her to have puppies so that i can keep one from her bloodline when she dies (i know they live average 15 years so it wouldn't be for a while). but i went to the vet last year and he said after 7 years, it's too risky, but i was going to england to study the next summer and i read chi's were needy during their pregnancy, so i figured she couldn't have puppies. however, when i came back from england this summer, she was pregnant! she had 3 beautiful puppies and now i have to sell them. the problem is, i want my brother to have the girl so she can have a litter after 3-4 years so i can keep one. the other two dogs are boys, but i'm in love with one of the boy dogs. the problem is having a male dog would mean it's harder to find someone that will mate and produce a litter because it's their female dog.
i love the boy dog, but i know it's better to keep the female.

I'm worried that the pit bull will hurt or even kill my rat terrier when he gets older. My rat is a female, fixed, and the pit is a male 6 wks that we are going to have fixed. Since the pit is going to grow up around the rat terrier, will it still show signs of aggression? My terrier is slightly aggressive...and is protective of me. This is my boyfriends dog though, who is going to use it as a running buddy. I'm totally freaked at the thought of the pit killing my terrier. Oh and we live in a one bedroom apartment, but the pit will get tons of exercise. Should I be concerned?

It's driving us crazy, but she just keeps going. The only time she's quiet is if she's eating or sleeping. She's 9 (human years), and has always chosen to be an only cat. She's an inside cat and very healthy, always has food and water and very spoiled! If I do get her another cat she just bullies it around or ignores it. Suddenly, she's psycho. At night we'll put her in the room with us and she'll start up, so we let her out and she stands on the other side of the door and meows!!! I've never heard her, (or any cat for that matter!), meow so much! She making my roommates hate us and I need her to stop, any suggestions?!

how do you create a bond if the dog is 2yrs old and have a not so good experience with the previous owner.

My sister's young cat recently stopped eating as much and isn't as active but his stomach isn't shrinking any from not eating. His lymph nodes feel a bit puffy (or maybe my imagination is running away with me?). Sister just got Christmas tree and cat is drinking tree water...connected with problem? We're thinking hairball or worms...any ideas? She would like to try to take care of this before she has to make a visit to the vet.

He is eight months old and he's been throwing up all day. i will definitely take him to the vet in the morning as soon as they open but want to know what they will do to him. is surgery necessary and how much will it cost if he does need it?

I have noticed lately that my fish have been getting algae on them. i know that it is algae b/c they can rub it off. i had one that died and we took it in and the petstore people said that it had algae on it. so how do i get it off w/out harming the fish. b/c apparently it can kill them.

he says they are too loud, but I really would like to have one. If you have one, tell me about it.

My 10 year old Golden Retreiver has had an ear infection for weeks now. The drops that the vet gave me seem to do nothing, the vet also said to try rubbing alcohol, but the condition is worsening. She constantly shakes her head and whines when I touch her ears or head. I have to clean thick smelly blackish goo out of both ears every day. What is this in her ear and how do I get rid of it?
