Pets - 14 January 2007

I am in the early stages of training my dog for drafting. I also have been working on obtaining his CGC. The parts he is having the most difficulty are reaction to other dogs (wants to play) and supervised separation. He gets upset when I leave. Any helpful suggestions?

I have had aquariums before, so I know how to run them and all. But now I am setting up a ten gallon aquarium just for me and want to get at least one goldfish ( a black moor goldfish to be somewhat precise ;p). What other fish should I get to go with it? Can I keep beta fish in the same aquarium?

I noticed today that my cat has not only the usual odd brown fleck in her iris, but also what almost looks like a ring or partial ring of dark (inside the iris, more or less going around the mid-point of the iris encircling the pupil area).

Has anyone ever seen that before?

She has recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and is 13 years old.

I recently saw a BEAUTIFUL Macaw~called a "Ruby Macaw"~ a cross between a Scarlet and a Green Wing~ Are there any types that are cross bred with the Blue & Golds?
~~I don't plan to breed mine, so please don't bombard me about all the unwanted, neglected & adoptable birds, I'm well aware of that unfortunate problem~~ I'm just curious:)
Thank You!

I recently bought 2 parakeets (accidentally - a boy and a girl). I already have a cockatoo, so I figured a parakeet would be no problem. Anyway - upon arriving home both were extremely hand shy - or hand terrified! Within about 20 minutes I had the boy hand friendly and stepping up on command (has NEVER bitten me). Then there is the girl... I've been working with her for 2 weeks now. I've tried going slowly, food treats in the hand, etc. The few times I've gotten her in my hand - she bites non stop. Quite a few times I have allowed her to bight non stop and kept myself from making a noise or movement thinking that after she saw I wasn't reacting she would stop - WRONG! Likewise, when she's on the carpet or a piece of clothing - she bites it non-stop. Is there anything I can do or is she destined to be mean forever? I want her to be able to be held by people - kids in particular... PLEASE HELP!!

I'm at a loss as to what has happened to my old mate. He was around 11 years old. I noticed him the other morning breathing rappidly and spread out on the ground. Tried to get him up but couldn't lift him (big dog). His tongue was a whitish colour and he felt hot, with his gums quite cold. Thought it may be paralysis tick then all of a sudden he got up and walked before falling in a heap. He was very unsteady on feet - like he was drunk. He seemed as though he had had enough. Unfortunately as we live in the bush we felt the only option was to put him down. I'm hoping that we did the right thing. Closer to the end his eyes were starting to roll around. Can somebody please help me to work out what could have happened. Seemed to be quite thirsty as well. Thankyou for taking the time to read this. We really miss him and would love to have some answers.
