Pets - 9 January 2007

I have a rainbow shark, tiger barbs, rosy barbs, german blue rams, a bala shark, and a peacock eel in a 55 gallon tank. My rainbow shark got along with everyone until about a week ago when he started picking on everyone. He bit the nose off one of my rosy barbs. What do I do?

I have a 7-year old male tabby who's been obsessed with going out the front door of every apt I've lived in. He's always been an indoor cat but will sit at the front door and meow at the top of his lungs. When he's not meowing, he's clawing the carpet & has dug a whole in the carpet by the front door of my last three apts. I've tried spraying repellent I bought at my local pet store which is supposed to deter cats and dogs from scratching & biting but it only works for a few minutes and then he's back to work. I try to play with him as much as I can when I get home. I do have another cat but she's 16 years old and has no interest in playing with him. I'd love to get another cat for him to play with because he LOVES to play but I live in a small apt and 3 cats seems a bit much. Any suggestions?

MY DOG PEPOLE AKA IF U KNOW DOGS GOOD (PITBULLS)

2007-01-09 03:00:41 · 16 answers · asked by Anonymous in Dogs

My cat has been like this for over 2 years - at times it is worse than others. He repeatedly licks his fur, as if aggitated by something, to an extreme that he makes himself totally bald. This is only around the rear part of his body and at the base of his tail. I have taken him to different vets, but none of which have cured his condition. Does anyone else have a similar problem with their cat and do you know a cure?

but does it really happen so often, and can a dog (who lives in the house) have intestinal worms, what shell a person do, and btw how it can affect family members, if so. And can you notice it, for example if a dog have eating disorder, it is just that I have a baby, and when I work he is with my mom-in-low and she has 2 dogs and they did not go to a vet like for more than a year, so tell me pls your opinion.

The vet just rang me now with the results of his stool samples. Unfortunatly its campylobacter. She said that a course of antibiotics for 5 days will be started. She said that a stool sample should be taken after as well. Has anybody else had this in their puppy or even to themselves? I have a younger brother and I dont want him getting it, do you think he should keep away from the pup? Im the main carer of the pup n clean up after him, is there anything that I should do to keep myself alright as well, other than the obvious washing hands after handling?
Will my puppy be ok after the antibiotics or can campylobacter still be there after it? Should I be doing anything for him to keep him alright?
Thanks very much,
Very concerned pup owner :(

I have an 8 yr old male, fixed Himlayan cat. He has always been aloof, like alot of cats, and only wanted attention or affection on his own terms. Recently he has done a complete turn around and will seek me out in the house and get on my lap no matter where I am. He sleeps up near my neck/head every night now too. I am loving the change in him (his nickname for 8 yrs has been oscar-as in grouch) but I'm concerned it could be health related and maybe he isnt feeling well and wants to be near 'mom'. It's seriously as though he is a completely different cat. (And no, there is no way it's a different cat)

I have just had my dog spayed but I wondered why the vet made me wait until 12 weeks after she came on heat I 100% knew she was not pregnant because I didn't allow hernear any other dogs for the full 3 weeks

When someone asks a question, not bothering to add details and then blasts everyone that is trying to help? I am sure most people would have answered very differently had the asker included the proper information.

Most adults have full-time jobs, but what do you do when you get a puppy? Please share your experience of what you did when you got a puppy and had to work. Did you put the pup in doggie daycare? Did you take a couple weeks off of work? Then what?
