Pets - 6 January 2007

with a neighbor whom she knows and likes and who has a small dog also. Around midnite the neigbor called and said my dog crying and wants to go home. I went and got her. Is she too attached to me? I would really worry if I had to be in the hospital. Should I have gone and held her a moment and then left her there or just made her stay so she can do it if I ever cant come like after surgery

We got my son another puppy for Christmas and she is the same breed Boston Terrier. And she has made a big positive impact on our lifes. She is so smart and she is 7 weeks old and already goiong to the door to let me know she needs to go out. I was scared to get another Boston because I was worried she would remind me/use of out Saddie Girl. But she has brought so much happiness to our home that I'm sure that I made the right dicision. We Really miss Sadie, but we look at this one as Sadie's Angle.

Two vets have told me that my 12 month old female cat is likely to be spayed owing to her body shape and state. However she has just started showing mating behaviour. Is it therefore likely that she is not spayed? Or do spayed females show this behaviour?

I have a two month old golden retriever puppy who occasionally barks when she doesn't get her way and at certain things around the house. Is it normal?? because everyone says that it isn't in a golden's nature to bark...

We got my daughter a 3-gallon tank for Christmas and had three fish in there, two of them mollies. I just found both mollies dead at the bottom of the tank and I have no clue why. They were frisky and eating well yesterday. The water is clear and the filter seems to be working. If one were dead I could chalk it up to an individual problem, but since both died at the same time it leads me to believe something is wrong with the tank.

Anyway, I guess we need to start over. What fish should I replace them with and what can I do to make sure they live a normal lifespan?

This is kind of complicated, so let me explain. I am in college and I have a 7 month old kitten. He HATES to be alone, so when I go home for the weekend to visit my parents (they have 3 cats that are 2, 7, and 11), I take my kitten home with me. At my parents home, he has his own space in my room with food, water, and his litter pan. The problem is that when he is at my parents house, he acts completely different than he does at home. He growls and hisses at my parents and all the other cats for no reason. Sometimes he even turns on me! My main problem is that in May, I have to move back home for the summer so my kitten will be there for a few months and my parents hate his behavior and the fact that he upsets their cats. When he is at my home, he is the perfect kitten: calm, loving, sweet, loves to be around people. But now my parents call him "Demon" and they dont like him. What can I do to make him calm down and not growl at everyone and try to beat up the bigger cats?

why so much about pits? why are people so happy to jump on the media bandwagon? when i was growing up it was dobermans that were bad. next it was the rottweiler. now it's the pit. when are we going to look to the owners to own up to the responsibility of taking the heat for what their dog does? show me any dog tied to a tree or thrown out in the backyard, or wearing a neiman marcus collar in a purse and i'll show you an aggressive dog. people take the time to research the breed, and train them. stop being lazy and making somone else accountable for human actions. it says a lot about society when we hold a dog fully accountable, and nothing to the human.

My cat had surgery on his ear (Wed).... started giving him antibiotic medication the next morning (Thurs).
He is taking a form of Amoxicillin.... 2 x day.....he has been on the
antibiotic for 3 days now and this evening I found a small piece of poop on the kitchen floor... it was formed but light in color and kinda soft..... I also found what looked like water drops but brownish in color... about 6-8 small drops on a different area of the floor.
My question is:
Can antibiotics cause loose stools or diahrea in cats? After 3 days of taking it plus the fact that he has never had soft/loose stools before or any accidents on the kitchen floor.....could it be the medication causing it? He seems fine otherwise....
I know humans sometimes experience this when antibiotics are taken so maybe cats can too...... any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank You
( sorry for the detailed description of what I saw but I wanted to give as much detail as possible )

My goldfish, *Homer Jaelyn*, born June 28 2003, is almost 4 years old - and doing great!!

I'm really surprised that he lived this long considering he had a few near death experiences (sort of):
1. He survived a 5 day road trip in the hot car while we traveled across the country
2. He died and came back to life. (I forgot to add the solution to his water when I cleaned his tank... that caused him to float upside down for over 6 hrs... I spent the whole night flipping him over onto his stomach... a few hrs later, he was swimming again)
3. He survived 3 weeks without his tank being plugged in (we were w/o electricity do to the hurricane last year)

Besides all of that... I was just wondering, why has my fish lived this long - considering that he has been through a lot of tough things... Do most goldfish live to be 4+ yrs old? A lot of goldfish I've known were lucky to live past a few weeks... I'm really surprised he lived to be so old!! What is the oldest that a goldfish has ever lived??

I bought a California Kingsnake about 4 or 5 weeks ago. It is almost 2 feet long. During the first two weeks of me having it, it was just fine and it never tried to bite me or do anything harmful. I would hold it a lot and play with it for about an hour every day. During that first week, I could tell that he was very hungry. I feed him a pinkie mouse once every 6 or 7 days. Just about a week ago before i fed him, i tried to pick him up and he bite me. Ever since then, he has been doing the same thing and becoming more and more vicious. I know that he istrying to bite at me because he is hungry, but i don't want to over feed him. What should i do to calm my snake down?

Pits were bred for fighting other pit bulls to the death in dog fight pits. They may seem nice but they can suddenly "snap" and kill even the owner or his child. If you dont fight them why TF would you own one? It seems pretty ghetto crazy if you ask me.
