Pets - 15 January 2007

Ok guys. I know I asked this same question earlier but we are still trying to decide and I asked a question the other day about this and since then we have come up with 3 names we like. He is a 7wk old black labradoodle puppy. The first name is Sirus (Sie-rus). I like this name because it is strong, easy to call, and masculine. The second name is Ozzy. This is the name my mother likes and is sort of a neutral between mine and my sisters. The third is Cosmo. It is ok, buy my sis is the one that likes it the most. I think we will get tired of it after so many years but I thought I would see what you guys have to say. Also if you have some names throw them at me. Thanks!!

I have just reciently bought a 10gal fish tank. I declorinized the water and waited a good ammount of time. (about 4-5 hrs) before i put the fish in. All fish seemed fine, after 2 weeks I put in 2 big sucker fish. with the one small one that was already in there. I feed them 2 times a day. My place is hard to heat. I set the heater to about 78 degres. It only gets to about 70-74. I had 3 sharks in there too. (about 3 inches long each) and one big fish. Now we had a power out so I put blankets over the tank and kept it warm. I left for the night. Came back mid day and the 3 sucker fish were dead. And the two sharks. One of the sharks died about one week ago. i don't understand what the heak is going on. I change the filter & everything. My cats like to drink out of the fish water. I try to keep them off the tank. I have seen cat hair in the water. (just a bit, not alot at all) and hair around the filter. What is killing my fish? the last fish i have is about 70$. I want to save him!

I have to make an appointment for them to get shot... 12 weeks and 16 weeks.
I am wanting to get them on some sort of insurance that will take care of all vaciinations and vet visits PLUS spading them at 6 months - Does anyone know about this?
After that I will seek for long term health...

I am having a problem with my dog Bobby. He use to drink alcohol once in a while. But lately he has been hitting the sauce very heavy lately. A whole fifth of MD 20/20 was gone from my liquor cabinet this morning. Bobby's water dish smell of wine. I am at wits end and now he pick fights with the neighbors dog constantly. I had him at the pet treatment for acohol and drug abuse a few months ago but they kicked him out and said he was to much for them to handle. Help! I'm about to take him for a one way drive!

It was prescribed for my cat after she had dental surgery and no other vet I have asked seems to know what it is.

I have 48 gallon tank that is cycling right now. I currently have two regular mollys, 1 gold groumi (sp), One Platy, one femal beta, two corycats and 4 danios that will be going in the tank.
I intend to get some sailfin mollys but would also like some larger fish that are friendly. Smaller fish are ok also.

Also, the tank is 36" tall and with the stand it is over 5 feet tall. If the mollys breed would leaving the fry in the tank (it has tons of rocks and plants) hurt them. Because it is so tall I am afraid I wouldn't be able to get them out.

My Chihuahua died 1 hour ago, and the Vet said she does not know exactly, but she was bleeding from her rectum for 6 hours. She did not have parvo. She had hypoglycemia, and pancreatic. Does anyone know why she went into cardiac arrest when the Doctors inserted the IV’s? She did not respond. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a very aggressive cat, I adopted her, (she was abused by her previous owner) I really need to clip her nails and everytime I try, she freaks out and gets really squirmy and tries to scratch me. I know shes not a mean cat, she just gets scared when I try it. I was wondering if there is anything that I can give her to calm her down. Some people have told me that I can give her a small amount of Ny-Quil or Benadryl, and she'll fall asleep and be drowsy and I can do it then, but I want to make sure thats safe. If anyone has any advice or methods, please help.Oh, and my local vet said that they won't even try if shes aggressive.

My dog doesn't have fleas that I can see but always scratches, sometimes gets sores from the scratching. A couple of people have said that the breed is known for some type of dry skin but no one can tell me what to treat it with. Any one know? I know I will call a vet. Don't tell me that I just wanted to see what you all had to say.

i've had him for 2.5 years he's always been pretty healthy 3 weeks ago I fed him but he only ate 1 of the 2 mice and i tried feeding him once a week since them but he acts like its not even there, ive been feeding him frozen mice for about a year cuz 1 time the mouse attacked him pretty bad on his face and he almost died. I thought it had to do with him shedding but he did a week ago and still doesnt eat, i know if he doesnt eat soon he will die, he's pretty pale right now too. please let me know if there is something i can do.
