Pets - 14 January 2007

I recently rescued an 8-10 month old ferrell cat. I took her to the vet and had her health checked, and now I have her in my spare bathroom. She lets me pet her, but she still hisses at first, and is very afraid of me. She also will not eat. I have tried to give her tuna, but she won't even eat that. Any advice?

I have a 9 month old Netherland Dwarf doe, and just got a 2 month old Dwarf Hotot. Aspen, my ND keeps jumping the baby. Any suggestions? I've had them in seperate cages side by side for a week and she still jumps her when put together. I've tried on neutral ground and she's better but wants to jump at her. However since I'm right there with her, she wont do it. Any suggestions on how I can get them to bond?

Okay, I put my question in capitals because it would attract more attention. smart? DUH-UH! =) Anyways, my goldfish isn't poo-ing, the last time this happened which was a few days ago, i changed the water, and i think because it was cold, he pooped - ALOT so is there another way to get the fish to poop, or why it ain't pooping. BTW. he always swims @ the top when he's not poooping. =)

My husband and I want to get a 20-30 gallon fish tank, and it's our first time caring for one since we were children. We'd like some advice on what kinds of fish are hardy and good for first timers. Any tips or guidance are much appreciated!

I have a 2 year old male CAG, he loves me and nobody else. I am not here all the time, and he is alone when I am gone. I have found a 2 year old female CAG for sale in my area. What do you think? Should I get her to keep my male company? Not trying to breed them, but I do have experience with breeding and handfeeding just in case they did decide to mate. Anyone have experience introducing two CAGs?

I have a 10 month old Mini-Goldendoodle that will only eat every other day, unless she is hand fed. She will eat approximately 1 cup of food per day that she eats, if she is hand fed she will eat almost 2 cups. I will not hand feed her, it is my wife that does out of concern for her health. I am assuming that she eats from my wife hand to please..

Let me know your thoughts...

Her breathing is very labored. I listen to her and it sounds like wheezing. If she were human I'd say she was asthmatic.

I had a cat before this one who lived for 16 years, so I'm quite familiar with cats. Her breathing just doesn't sound normal.

She has a very thick coat and does a LOT of shedding. I want to take her to be groomed but she's very cranky/uncooperative and I doubt any groomer would be willing to work with her. If it is indeed asthma then I wonder whether all her hair is a factor.

But, I'm not sure about taking her to a vet because vets will always tell you there's about 10 different things that are wrong with your cat which can only be cured by thousands of dollars worth of antibiotics, surgery, etc.,

Guppys, Mollys, or Ghost shrimp. Will be raising my own. Which is the easiest with best results. I know not to feed live from store and to have more than live in their diet.

I moved out of my mom's house 9 months ago so I haven't seen our cat Tigger for awhile and when I did it was for a few minutes and then I would leave. Well I just got a new place and decided that I would like to have the cat since my stepdad made it live in the basement which was not for living conditions. I've known my cat since it was a kitten and now it's 9 years old. Well today my mom and sister dropped him off, and since they've left, he's just hiding under my bed. He came out for a bit to check things out but he doesn't seem to recognize me. He'll rub on my leg but won't let me pick him up, but the cat lets my bf pick him up and they've just met. I feel bad and have the feeling Tigger thinks he was sent to strangers. How do I get him to recognize me again, or does he recognize me and he's just getting to know my bf now? Will he eventually get used to the new place?

my cat has a "ferret" toy that she loves. It's basically a tube wrapped in burlap with faux fur on both ends with something that rattles inside. She's had it forever but it's starting to show it's age.

I can't find anything like it anywhere, but I'm certain I can make her one easily enough.

My question is, is glue from a low temp glue gun used for crafts safe for cats once it's dried? If not, what can I use? What kind of glue do toy companies use?

I rally don't know what the hell is wrong with them. They are nothing but crap. BYBs and Puppy Mills use it. They charge more money and don't track bloodlines or ped.s. Why go to CKC when we have AKC? AKC tracks lines to make sure the dog is purebred and it coasts less!!!!!!!!!!! AKC truely is the best kennel club.

I have a pure bred German Shepherd pup....5 generation pedigree, hip and elbows certified for 28 months...both parents were actually displaysia free. He is a Black/Red...but mostly black with a little tuffle of white fur on his chest....the ear that was tattooed is not up yet...11 weeks old. I have people tell me he doesn't look pure bred at all....? what do you guys think considering he has CKC papers (Canadian Kennel Club NOT the Contenental Kennel Club...I checked that....lol)

I have had my black cat, Sabrina, for nearly 7 years now, and she has been a blessing. My birthday is coming up, and I am hoping to buy another kitten. The thing is, I'm not sure if Sabrina can cope with another animal. I tried having a puppy, and the cat was furious with me! (The puppy didnt last long at my house; I had to put her up for adoption.) Sabrina is very sweet with smaller animals than herself, but should I take the risk of getting another kitten? Please help!
