Pets - 4 January 2007

I have a female dachshund that had puppies about 3 months ago and i put her in a pen with a male dachshund at my friends house because my dog doesnt like cars. that was a few days ago and now she is in heat? i was just wondering if it could have been the male causing the heat because she isn't supposed to be coming in heat for a few more months.

How long doe it take to cycle a 10 gallon tank? How can you tell when it is cycled? Is there anything else I can do to quicken it up?

- Ihad my tank for about three months but lots of thing happened for example fish got sick and high ammonia. But, now everything is calm. Could it still continue with all those time?

I clean the litter boxes daily. The older cat has been sick, which I'd like ideas on her too. She's had a low white cell count, got a blood transfusion and was on the road to better health I thought. She throws up about once daily, is a very very picky eater, always has been.....only weighs 7 lbs. I can't find anything she'll eat no nutrical or science diet mentioned in the e-mails and like the vet gave me. She's such a precious companion I don't want to lose her. The other cat is waaaay overweight. She can't last much longer not eating, we've have forcefed her but then she throws it up. Please help someone.

I want a dog that is small, and doesnt need to be groomed alot, a dog that is active but not too active, a dog that can be alone for one long period a day (maybe 3 or 4 hours), a dog that like to go to the park alot (park is just down the street) maybe 1 or 2 times a day, a dog that isnt prone to getting sick. If you dont know then can u just please give me a quiz thing that will help.... THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

Also, she is female. Isn't this awfully young for her to do that sort of thing?

I just got two new parakeets and when I bought them the lady helping us at the pet store said they love to hop around on the carpet together. Should I wait until they're more situated. Or let them feel more comfortable and let them out?

I will be the first to admit that a few years ago when my sister first owned a staffy I thought it was a pit bull and would not take my children round to visit but after I did some research I realised they are different breeds and the STAFFY's are recommend if you have children! I now own one and she is gentle and loving even with our kittens I am so glad I have one..but i get fraustrated when people walk on the other side of the street when they see her coming towards them (she is always on a lead) I think they are getting bad press and more needs to be done for people to realise what loving friendly dogs they are and that they are not pit bulls!!! its not fair!!!!!!!!!!

He likes to sit on our laps, but he bites when we try to pet it. And it doesnt seem like a defensive bite, more of a playful bite, but nonetheless it still hurts. How do we change him?

My cat got sick 1-01-07. It was sudden. He was overweight and didn't get the excercise he should have got. The next day his condition worsened. I thought he had pnemonia. My husband gave him a shot of penicillin and b-12. He got worse to the point he was crying in pain. We took him to the vet. My cat was haven't difficulty breathing also for two days. He was so weak, he couldn't walk. He didn't seem that sick until the last couple of days. He hadn't felt very good, but not of a dying cat. The vet took a needle and pulled fluid from his lungs. He had a grim look on his face. I asked him for the truth. He seemed to know I was dying myself inside. The first thing was , it depends on how much money your willing to pay. I said .I want to know if my baby is dying and is he going to get better. I told him that I would not let him suffer. I love him too much. He then replied, he was not going to get better and there would be tubes and needles the rest of his life. We let him go for love. Help

I really want a pet dog, i have a smallish garden, but a garden nonetheless, and loads of time for walking maybe twice a day. I was wondering which breed to go for, as i love Collies, but they are a working dog and need constant mental stimulation. Any advice on what to buy??

I have a 10 mth old lab, and every couple of months she breaks out around her chin, mouth, and sometimes eyes. She has been to the vet, we have used cream, helps very little, even oxy pads, and she has been given an antibotic, which totally clears it for the time being, and I know she cant keep taking the antibotics, we clean her mouth every time she is done eating. Any advice, what may cause this, or other home cures, or what else it could be that the vet may be missing, I love our vet, just curious. PS they tend to be some very big bumps that sometimes break open.

I have 2 4 month old male kittens, and none of the local vets will do neutering until they are 6 months old. Is there any risk in them developing negative male cat behaviors (spraying, sexual aggression, excessive territorialism) before the 6 month mark?

I have a 6 month old Male Staffordshire Bull Terrier. When i arrive home he get excited and two hard lumps aprear at the base of his penis. They are definaltley not his testicals, as they have fully dropped, but i have no idea what they are. They disapear when hes at rest, just appear when people greet him. My family have had Staffy's before, this is my first one, but even my family say that somethings wrong. Maybe a genetic problem? He's KC registered and got full breed history. I can email a pic if anyone thinks they can help me.

they are driving me crazy i have a couple of questions about them

1. Can i spray them and fill their tank with tap water because i have been doing that for a long time and i wanna know if thats wrong.

2. these toads have not been eating the red worms that i have been giving them and i dont feed them crickets because crickets creep me out and hop out air holes in the tank

3. I have a green/black one and a darkbrown or black/black one. Dark one doesnt even try to eat when i try to feed them, but when the green one does, its never gets the worm in its mouth cuz it ends up letting the worm get away in the water. the worms go directly to the water when it gets in the tank for some reason.

4. the green one hasnt been eating, but it got fat off something what is it??

5. since the toads dont eat, i just put fire bellied toad dust in the water...is that harmful?

6. they dont make the noises they used to either
