Pets - 18 January 2007

I live and work about 13 hours away from my hometown and where my family still lives. When I go home to visit, I usually fly because I cannot stand being on the road 13 hours. However, I am really wanting to get a small dog (10lbs or under) and I'm wondering if it is difficult to fly with a pet. I have looked up several airlines pet policies and it looks like a lot of them do allow pets. For those of you who have flow with pets (or know more about flying with them than I do) please advise me on whether or not its difficult to have a pet and be able to fly home on occassion. I usually go home a few times a year (usually around the holidays). Of course, I probably wouldn't take my pet with me everytime, just occasionally if I stayed home to visit for a while. Thanks!

She shakes when she is layen around and sometimes when she walks around. She seems to be healthy I think. She is small for her age. She doesnt have any worms in her poop. She eats fine and drinks lots of water. Im just worried that maybe something more is wrong.

I just moved into a new apt and my roommie and I both brought our cats. So no cat had time estab. a territory. Both are girls, which I know is a bad combo, but it's what we had. We kept them separated until both got adjusted and let them out. It started out ok but now it's turned into my cat chasing the other back into my roomie's room. Is there a way to stop this? How did you handle cats getting along? Any good websites or resources for help?

I have 3 woodstorks that come visit me everyday. Of course I feed, cuz I'm a sucker for animals. One I acutally hand feed. They are endangered here, in the US, so I thought I might ask.

My puppy likes to bite. And she was playing with my other dog and my puppy was biting her neck and my dog looked like she enjoyed it she was wagging her tail and everything. Is that just the way they play???


Because it looks like shes being really aggresive but she's not in my opinion.



what do you think????

I have two birds that are in permanent cages (not an option to take these cages down). I am going to be using spray paint in the room where their cages are. I will be taking my birds OUT OF THE HOUSE, when I do the painting. Dont worry, the cages will be covered with heavy duty plastic from top to floor.

How long do my birds need to be out of the house, and how long out of their room before bringing them back?

They both don't like to take the liquid medicine. I tried to put some on their favourite veges, and it works well, but sometimes they just don't feel like having veges. Any other suggestion? I tried to cuddle them and put some into the mouth but didn't work well.. they hate the smell, they struggle!! HELP!!

my puppy only has 1 testicle and will have to be neutered.
i know that showing is all about improving the breed but i was wondering if there is a separate class or category that neutered dogs can be shown under and i dont seem to find much info online.

Ok thankyou to all the people that answered my first question about the pup....... i have thought about the pup alot and i would like to know if the pup will bond with me in the same way as a dog that could see and will it be able to play i know fetch may be out but what about other games? will my pup want to go out for walks or stay around the house where everything is safe and familiar to her? will moving house stress her out too much? if she gets attached to me but i am unable to be there for her will this distress her?

I have had quite a few baby quails hatch, but they won't peck and eat when they are born. In the past i have had some success getting a little milk and crumbs in their crops, but only two have survived this.

I am at a loss as i have been told that they will peck for themselves but they don't!

What can I do?

I got a female Lhasa Apso puppy from the pet shop near my house a few days ago. She was 7 weeks old when I got her. I paid $1400 for her but as her price was dropped from a stupid $1900 - I decided to get her as not only a good bargain but I had been looking for a Lhasa breeder for several months and the prices were very high ($2000+) and none had litters available at that time. When I got her, she had kennel cough, was limping a little, was sneezing a lot and had crust around her eyes. I was told that the kennel cough and the sneezing would pass in a few days and it was only because she was stressed after coming to the store. The shop had a 42 hour health guarantee on her - that was 5 days ago. The kennel cough hasn't gone away so I purchased some over the counter medication for her and it is slowly clearing up. The sneezing hasn't stopped and she is now weeping from the eyes. Her right eye has crusted almost fully over and I got very worried.

I always place my cat outside in a crate to socialize with the dogs. I have 3 full blooded German Shepherds that cannot stand the cat. They hate all cats.

My friends and I think it's kind of funny when we put the crate outside and the dogs do everything they can to get to the cat. The cat screams bloody murder as the dogs try and get to her, rolling the crate down the hill, gnawing at the crate and basically trying to kill her, and the cat is shaking violently once I bring her back in and want even let me comfort her no matter how hard I try.

Does she not like the dogs? Am I going about this the wrong way? Why want she let me comfort her?

We have a 1 year old cat, who while thinking he is part dog half the time is otherwise healthy BUT he is always trying to "nurse" off any kind of "furry" type blankets! I pull them away when he does this but he always goes right back to it, esp. at night. Anyone know how to get him to stop or why he may be doing it? He makes me feel so bad for him like he misses his mommy or something. thanks for any help!!!
