Pets - 24 January 2007

it's only been 5-6 days since my shih tzu puppy had a bathe.
But he smells so bad! and it's fur is dirty.
I love my puppy with all my heart but I really can't stand the smell. Everytime I pick him up my hands and clothes get stinky.
I know I'm not supposed to wash my puppy often (i was advised to wash him once every two weeks). But is it ok to wash him today? I'll dilute the shampoo and it's moisturazing shampoo. Do you think it's ok?

I caught my boxer trying to "woohoo" my wolf. I yelled at him and he hauled butt. He is smart but he is an a**. He knows right from wrong, he knows not to do wrong if we are looking, so now that he knows this is wrong he will not let me catch him again. But If I get him fixed will he still try to act like a male with her? I'm not getting her fixed, she is my sweet baby.

My cat is sick, what do I do? She is sneezing and her nose sounds congested. Will she be okay, I mean can it be fatal?
She usually sleeps outside, but I've put her in the garage and i will keep here there at night until summer time.

I don't know what to do!

My mum said I can have a puppy, or I can breed rabbits. I have 1 rabbit and 1 dog. If I breed rabbits, i get 2 rabbits,(male and female,duh). If I get a puppy, It would be from a shelter and probly a Border Collie X. If I breed rabbits I get to raise baby bunnies and sell them for a profet. If I get a puppy, I get the joy, love and loyalty from a dog...
HELP!

hi, i've been asking a few questions on here about my cats, mittens and mr. snickers, and i got some good answer's but some of you folks are real mean, and told yahoo to cancel my questions even though i"m just trying to learn more. anyway, i've had it and i'm moving where i don't have to put up with this shabby treatment.

my question is mittens and mr. snickers HATE riding in the car with me (once they both tried scratching me!), so i'm just going to mail them on ahead to are new home in tennessee (where it's still a free country, thank you very much). should i put them in the same box so's they have company or mail them seperate to save on the postage? or should i maybe use a big cardboard tube so they'll hold still? also, do i need to write 'this end up' even though they always land on their feet?

thanks, and probably good bye real soon.

I've tried and tried and tried to fully potty train my 3 year old chihuahua. I will be the first to admit that she is utterly spoiled!! She'll wake me up in the morning and ask me to take her out, and she's pretty good at that. BUT, when I'm not looking, and she wants to be sneeky, she'll go on the carpet! I was wondering if there was a 'home remedy' for something that you can spray to keep her off of my carpets that I've had to replace two too many times!! H-E-L-P.....

starting to stand. Non-shedding.Wonderful personality;
fun, playful and loving. AKC registration.loved and
socialized with people especially kids and other pets.
The best possible care in raising; Vet supervision,
quality food, all vaccinations current and regular

it.The puppy is a female and called Lindy, i will
like to know the following from you.
-Are you from a Christain background?
-Have you ever had a dog before?
-Do you have children and/or other pets?
-Are they well socialized with dogs and other pets?
This is just to ensure that the puppy is in save
hands and don't fell bored at one time or the other.To

prepared to fly her immdiately to you in a convinient

able to pick her up.Well i will end here while hoping
to read from you. Happy New year.

I have a pomeranian that I got from a friend because it was dropped off at her house and she couldn't take care of it.

It's an older dog and she smells horrible. Her breath has this horrible smell also. I brush her teeth and also give her a bath with deoderizing shampoo, which doesn't help at all.

She also has horrible mats but I can't take her to a professional groomer because I don't have her shot papers, they are still with the original owners.

Also, I've tried all kinda of flea treatments with her, even the ones from the vet, and she still has them and they won't go away.

Her behind also gets clogged up alot and I'll have to clean it out for her.

She has mats bad too all around her behind area, around her ears, and her front part of her body, below her head.

I know she was in a meth lab and that's why she was sent to the other owners and she's never had a real home and now she's happy but her hair is horrible.

Any help appreciated. Thank you so much!

Attached to the question I just asked....I have a friend who also owns a German Shepherd...around the same age....this is goig to sound outragous. I was over at her house with my dog. We went for a walk and her pup wasn't listening to every command perfectly, she came inside and went to smack her pup, but the smacking turn into frequent one after another swings to the head....the dog was yelp barking even after she decided to stop, the pup ran into a corner peed and she chased it as it was cowarding then she started again.....I know this was wrong but I really didn't say anything cause I wanted to keep my head attached. What should I do....as I don't want her to loose her dog. Even after she did that the dog still comes to her....jumps all over her....when I asked her why she did it....she said "the dog will either forget or forgive me"????? is this true that dogs are forgiving. He still listens to her but more attentive. What should I do...I was crying when i left her house.

On Saturday I took my puppy to the vet to get her shot to treat her sarcoptic mange (scabies). They also gave her a vaccine for Bortella.On Tuesday night she started throwing up and having trouble breathing. The paper they gave us said that some reactions for the Bortella vacc. would include those and we should take her in if this happens. So today, Wednesday, I took her in first thing in the morning, the doctor said it couldn't be from that. He told us it was Parvo, but she has gotten a vaccine for Parvo already. But he wants to get her tested for it. So what I want to know is it possible that she has Parvo????

I've read interesting things about this partially "wild" breed of cat. Just wondering if any of you out there have any experience with them. Is it scary owning a wild cat ? Are they friendly, or just nice to look at?
