Pets - 15 December 2006

It is a Bouvier des Flanders. I've been told at six months, but also been advised that I should wait until 2 years - so not to influence the dog's normal development.

i bought a female beta at wal-mart and it looks like a female. she's almost white and has short fins and not very big. i've had her for over two years now. i bought a nice tank and was wanting to add another female. i just want to make sure that i have a female. are there any other ways to tell other than less color and short fins?

My dog woke me up at about 345 this morning, shaking, and pacing around my bed.He doesn't ever wake me up in the middle of the night, so it kind of freaked me out. Once I got out of bed he got up and vomited on the floor. It was yellow and foamy (bile?). He didn't eat his dinner last night so I'm wondering if he's got an upset stomach from not eating...any suggestions? He's a 2.5 yr old male, belguim shepard/border collie mix.

I noticed that my doggy's ears and nose are a bit warmer than usual (even when he's sleeping, he is still pretty warm). Should I be concerned? What should I do if he has a fever?

My dog is limping with alternating legs. She's completely fine at first, but she would suddenly tremble and puts her leg up. She would alternate the leg from left hind leg to right hind leg (and sometimes even to her fore-legs alternatively as well) as if she forgot which leg she was having problem with. We massaged her leg and she is able to walk again. Is she pretending or is she really sick?

Our dog, Hippo, ws only in the pound for 4 days and the moment we met her we fell in love. She is already attached at the hip. When we told her to Pet Smart she didn't mind the kids but when we showed her a squeeky toy she tried to climb into my arms. And when some people came up to her she pressed close against me. Also when I had her and my boyfriend left we were sitting there and when he came back she let out a little growl until she smelled him and realized it was ok. The worst though was when we were outside, she met my mom fine, and was fine with my brother the first time. There were some boys across the street and when they got close she started to do, like a, throat bark and just climbed in my lap. Then snapped at my brother. We have only had her for less then a day and also had a 4 hour car drive. The only times it has happened is with me and people approaching me and my bf isn't there, so is she protecting me? I just want to nip this problem in the butt and need input.

Okay, I'm in China, and my host family has a male cat. When I came, he started spraying everywhere, at least once a day, often on my bed, or in my room. I thought that it was just because I was a new person in his life, and smelled like about 5 other cats. However, it has been almost 4 months now, and he stil keeps at it. I suggested to my mother having him neutered but she said no cats in China are, and that's just barbarious.

Another problem, I think also related to his spraying, is that he masturbates all the time. He has this stuffed dolphin that he carries around, and I think he does this about twice a day. Before I came, I don't think my family knew what it was, but now they want him to stop, and he gets really mad if disturbed in any way. Also, if he can't find his dolphin, he tries to use someone's arm or leg, and literally attacks the person, biting and hisses, so that they have to find his dolphin.

Is there anyway to prevent this behavior other than neutering?

I have 2 blue line male APBTs, they're both exactly the same age (because they're brothers). Well, they will be turning 4 months in about a week, but one of them, I believe weighs about 34lbs, and the other one weighs about 30 lbs. or so...I have been trying to make the 30lbs to weight the same as the other one, but I haven't been able to do so...I was actually wondering if they both are at a normal weight for their age...I have met people that say "My Pit is 4 or 5 months old, and they're really big..."............P.S- I feed them with Royal Canin (Large breed puppy 'n Babydog food) as well as Science diet puppy canned food...

My friend got a puppy to surprise her daughter. I picked it up from the airport a few minutes ago, and I will babysit him until Sunday because that's when she will be surprising her daughter. So...what do I feed him? I don't have any dog food right now and I can't buy any until tomorrow. What should I give him to eat tonight. Is milk ok?

My female dog died two days later after she had seven puppies, and we informed the owner of the stud, after 4 weeks he said he didnt want one or anything to do with the animals what should we do. We had to hand raise them buying puppy formula and everything cost me over 1000 dollars and now when he sees how big they have gotten he all of a sudden wants one. What would seem fair. Should he have to pay for the dog or should he get the pick of the liter???
