Pets - 16 January 2007

first of all, thank you those who spent some time understanding my issue and give me valuable advise. I'd like to add this to my story too, My cat (the same cat) that was diagnosed with fever and virus had been tested by a thing called "Test Kit" which will tell if its has been diagnose with virus or not. I got another issue now, I just found out that my other cat at home has caught a similar symptoms like the first one who was diagnosed with fever and virus. I'm sure that my 1st cat didnt caught a viral infection because he is a spayed cat so i doubt he had any sexual contact. Is there any other way I can treat my 1st cat that was diagnosed with fever and virus than spending $$$ on dripping and staying overnight at the vet? Because I have spent almost $200 now for 2 days at the vet and I dont have much money left to give further medication consultation to my cat. What kind of virus is that ? until my 2nd cat is diagnosed with fever and virus too? Both them didnt have any sex contact

I have a 16 month old ex-cruelty case rescue dog (maltese x poodle) who still had stiches in her belly from her de-sexing opperation when i got her. She now had a terribly lumpy scar which is much higher on her abdomen that other dogs who have gone through the same procedure. Is it at all possible that the vet who administered the opperation miscalculated and somehow botched the surgery so my dog is still able to have puppies? I'm not necessarily interested in breeding her, I am just worried about her.

Does anyone know anything can can cause such a terrible scar on a dog? It feels like she was butchered (my poor little baby!) I took very good care of her stiched while she had them in - i didnt let them get wet, nor did i let her scratch or bite at them. i constantly monitored them. also, i got the stiches out at exactly the right time (from what the vet told me).

I bathe her and clean her ears but she still smell awful. Is there something I can use to help rid her of the smell. She's so sweet but I can hardly stand to touch her.

He's been to the vet, he's 3 months (i have posted a lot in the last 2 days, lol), vet is now closed. They are aware of his appetite suppression for the last 18 hours or so.
They suggested chicken broth over his food, not working.
Havent changed his food at all, he's just not feeling good and is on med's (metoclopermide for vomiting, and Amoxil).
He also got a shot for fluid's (like an IV, but not as much involved).
So, he's sore all around his back and shoulder's.

What can I do to help him want to eat? I dont want to do anything that is table scrap if I can help eat (ie:chicken, cheese, ect), as he may grow accustomed to recieving this and make more problems with his eating.

Suggestions on things that have worked for you?

is there any other reason a dog would have swallen nipples apart from if she was pregnant?
there was another dog in my yard the other day and it appears that he slept over as he was in her bed, this was about 2 weeks ago.
bathed her yesterday and noticed her nipples was 2-3 times her normal size.
is there any thing at all that it could be other than pregnancy?
thanks :)

I have a 4 year old Maltese who knows the basic commands... sit, stay, speak, down etc. He listens very well at home (key word "at home"). If I take him outside or somewhere that's unfamiliar to him, he doesn't pay any attention to me and in some cases will run off. Any advise on how to get him to listen in situations that distract his attention from me?

My 3 year old male German shepherd has had recurring urinary tract infections. He has been on 3 rounds on antibiotics. They even gave him a shot of antibiotic this last time to give it a jump. Has any one had this same problem and what finally cured it. I treated him this summer for heartworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. He was a rescue that was badly neglected but has come around to be a wonderful dog. I am looking for anything to helf him. I have his sister who I have had since she was 6 weeks. She is extremely healthy. No problems ever. Help!

I have Indian Minor Birds nesting in my Laundry roof and they have just had babies. I did not mind at first, I was a little worried about bird lice at first but as the laundry is outside I left them. Now they are getting really aggressive and attacking my kitty everytime he steps one foot outside, or when he is eating or even when he is sitting on the windowsill! Maybe if he was not such a pansy, he would take care of them himself! But I have tried putting him up in the hatch with them and he just jumps down..
Because Indian Minors are a pest in Australia, can you kill them?
I dont really want to, I would rather relocate them but some people have told me that they just come back!

Help me, and my poor cat! He is so stressed out!
