Pets - 12 January 2007

They are all very hyperactive and aren't nearly as calm and friendly towards people as a golden retriever. They're not exceptionally loyal either and aren't the prettiest dogs in the world either. They work well with owners who have very active lifestyles but America is full of big fat people so why are labs the most common breed of dog here?

I have a juvenile Clown fish, I bought him 2 week ago. I am a little worried I've never seen a fish sleep upside down at the top of the tank. At first I thought he was dead but after I moved him he swam back to the bottom normally. He also swims on his side at the top of the tank. I help by moving him along to the bottm then he is allright, but at night he looks like he's dead. The salinity is fine, there is no amonia in the water the temperature is between 70-80 degrees the filter blows water pretty hard but no bubbles are produced ( I was told to many bubbles are bad for my sea-anemones). So what's wrong with my Nemo? My white tail Damsel is doing fine.

Why and how does a cat become diabetic?
After giving my cat his annual booster with Feligen RCP booster he became ill. Started vomiting and stopped eating and just drinking water.... I know that is a sign. However, vet says his kidneys are now packing up. He sleeps all day and is very weak. Vet said I should consider putting him to sleep. How do I know if he is suffering? He is my baby and my heart is breaking. He is 13 years old. Vet also said if he was human he would be on a dyalasis machine. Thank you for your help everyone.

i have 2 new baby RES cause i don't want my old one feel lonely.
just bought them today. put them on the rock, they crawl, they fall in to the water, they swim (floating), they try to catch some air, they can't, they look panic, so i pull them out of the water and put them on the rock again.. look like they aren't good swimmer. my aquarium 10 cm depth then i reduce to 3 cm (and they still can't do it).

the old one baby RES in the aquarium seems unhappy about what i did cause she loves to dive and stay on the bottom of the aquarium. she also can't get along with the new ones. she always in the water and the new babies always on the basking area (now i have to check them all the time cause i'm worry they'll drown)

i remember the baby RES habitat in the petstore only fill the water about 1 cm depth, maybe that's why the new ones can't swim.

so, what should i do?

He's 6mths old and just been neutered. I've seen him wipe his bum on our carpet once prior to neutering, and once after. This morning I picked him up a while after he'd done it and discovered he had poo caught in the fuff around his bum- he is so fluffy, and so I think that must have been what he was trying to dislodge. Sorry to be a little graphic, but how can we help him with this, do long haired cats usually have this problem? Should we get his hair trimmed around his bum? Please advise!

Hi! I am doing a project for school, in which I need to poll some people on a product that they buy - and I would like to know about dog shampoo. Please answer the following questions about dog shampoo:

1) Why did you need to buy dog shampoo?
2) What were your choices?
3) Why did you choose to buy the brand that you did?
4) Where did you choose to buy your shampoo? Why?
5)How did you feel about your purchase after you bought it?
6) Would you buy it again? Why or why not?
7) Do you have a family or just you and your dog? (This question is to see if people make different decisions based on family size)

I would really appreciate your answers, my family and I live in a very secluded area, and getting the answers for my paper is very difficult. Thank you very much in advance for your answers!!

I have 2 African Cichlids 1 Yellow Lab (which I believe is male) the other is Orange and I think is Female. + a few other fish.
I have to keep the Orange Cichlid separated in the tank because the Yellow Lab will go after it...(3 days ago the Yellow Lab, burtally attacked my BETA and it died).(Which I normally keep separated, but let it in with the other fish so I could clean its net, which I do once a week. by the time I finished cleaning the net all of the Betas Fins were bitten off)
Anyways. the Cichlids seemed to be doing ok, When the Orange one was hovering at the top of the tank in the corner.
I put it back in its area.
Yesterday, I noticed what looked like white flakes..or Shedding scales..
I figured it had gotten bitten and the bites were infected so I today I went and bought ICK medicine..
It seems to be ok...Oh and when I put it back in its area, it stopped hovering at the top and started swimming around in its area.
No other fish have White on their scales.

It's so weird. When I got my 2 amer. pit bull puppies at 6 weeks of age, I thought they were adorable, but on the other hand I couldn't wait for them to grow up because after all, it is not that easy to care for a puppy (just like a human baby). Well, now that my puppies are 4.5 months old (and actually acting more mature), I'm starting to miss their "baby" stage when they were only several weeks old. Every time I see picture of baby pit bulls or even my own puppies' baby pictures, I really start missing that stage, and I feel like I really want to have another puppy. I don't really know how to get over it and just accept the idea that my puppies are growing more and more every week. I can't really explain the feeling, but maybe some people out there who miss when their dogs/puppies were still babies. Especially because I use to carry my pits around with blankets and bottles when they were that small, and now I can't even hold them when I take them out for walks...
