Pets - 10 January 2007

My cat has been a frontline customer for a year now, we apply the frontline every 6 weeks as prescribed by our vet. My cat is indoor/outdoor cat and I know she might be getting fleas from the outside and carrying them inside which is why we are religious about applying the medicine on time, cleaning every day and washing all the clothing every week. The frontline product has been working perfectly on her except for the last application (2 weeks ago), all of a sudden she has fleas and I see them walking on her. I want to clarify this particular application was in my car for a couple of weeks during summer which means it got really hot. I would like to know if there is a chance fleas are just getting resistant to the product or the heat somehow ruined it and that's why it isn't working, etc. Thanks

How can I get her to stop? It makes me violently ill just thinking about it. Aside from picking up the poop--I just want her not to WANT to eat it!! She's well fed otherwise.
PS I tried the pills. No Go.
She's a 2 yr old Australian Shepard

Cannot be worms as i give him worming treatment every 3 months. clean his cage every 3 days. He is always scratching the areas around his ears and jawline and just behind his head where, know his hair is thinning. I would specifically like home remedies, i have tried aloe vera but this has not worked either.

Is it okay to put something glass or ceramic that I painted myself with acrylic paints in an aquarium?

Also, I have this dollar store tiki man, labeled as "polystone" and painted that I'm not sure about.

We're thinking of getting a chihuahua but should we get a female or a male? And why? And should we get it spayed/neutered?
Thanks :)

My son is 11 years old and we can't have a dog or cat in our apartment. So besides a fish what would be a neat pet that we can consider. I love dogs/cats so Im not an absolute amimal hater, but not so easy going with the reptiles, but as long as it has easy care "instruction" and easy for my son to take care of, its fine with me. Any suggestions?!?!?!?!

I have an unmated female that laid 1 egg 5 days ago. I know she laid for her previous owner, so this is not her first egg. She shows no signs of distress or egg binding and has not started to sit on this lone egg.(I know they usually don't start that until 2-3 eggs have been laid) I've watched her carefully but I haven't been able to find any info on the possibility of a tiel just laying 1 egg. I'd love to hear from anyone that's had this happen with their tiel. I can tell from lack of online info that this uncommon. Just want to know if it's possible.

Our whippet passed away recently and we would like another whippet. She was a mix, but looked 100% whippet with a black face and grey/black body. I cannot find breeders who breed black faced whippets. I also have no idea on price. I am looking for a female puppy. Any help? Thanks.

A friend of mine were talking in my room the other day, and something was brought up about dog's not having a belly button. Why is this? Or is there one and we just haven't noticed? (I think she also said the same for her cats)

My dog was out for a walk the other day and was playing with some other dogs in the park. All of a sudden, she just ran all the way home and was sitting on the door step, when we caught up with her. Ever since then, she has been nervous when we take her to the park. She skulks around and gets a fright if there is another dog barking or running around. She has always been fairly timid, but this is just weird.

I have two indoor cats, and although they seem perfectly happy in my three-bedroom house, I was wondering about how it compares to the space they'd have to roam in if they were allowed outside and whether they'd be significantly more active there than inside.

Does anyone have any idea how large the roaming territory of domesticated cats is, or how much they actually do roam? Does it depend on the territories of other neighborhood cats, geographical markers such as roads and creeks, the gender of the cat, or the cat's personality? And what do cats do when they're wandering around the neighborhood?

I am trying to breed my gouramis and they have been chasing eachother for a few days now but still no eggs.

Today, they started jumping out of the water!! I have a top on the tank so luckily they are just falling back into the water. Why are they doing this??
Am I going to see eggs soon or should I try removing the male for a little while?

Her lower half is nearly bare because she constantly licks herself. We put flea stuff on her but it had no effect...What could be the cause of fur loss, or compulsive licking and what can I do to help it?

We have successfully (sort of) trained our new 12-week old puppy to lay in his bed when told to "lay down". He stays there, usually, until we tell him he can get out. We accomplished this in less than 2 hours, so we're happy.

Now, how do we train him to let us know when he has to go outside? He (usually) stays in his bed unless told otherwise, but we now want him to let us know when it's bathroom time. Any suggestions? The dog I had as a child would do this, but I can't remember how we did it.
