Pets - 25 January 2007

I work mon-fri from 8-4:30pm but most of the time i leave my house at like 8-8:15am and arrive back home at 5pm and when I leave my 5month old pup (jack russell terrier/pitbull mix) home alone, he pees and also poops in the house! when i'm home, he's great and doesnt poop or pee and we've never had a problem with him during the night time but when he's home alone, that's when the issues start. My friend told me to just leave him water and very little food so he doesnt poop but i feel like if i leave him little food, that i'm starving him. How do I get him to stop pooping and peeing in my house? I dont want to use a crate and leave him in there all day long and i dont have a yard that i could leave him in. I live in an apt. and my question is, how do i handle this situation in the best manner and how do i resolve this issue?

Do you prefer Gypsy Vanners or Appaloosa for looks? i know there is a lot more stuff you need to check for in a horse, but just looks, which one do you think is the cutest?

We live in a decent size apt. (1100 sq. ft.) and are looking for a good breed of dog (that doesn't bark too much & isn't too big) to add to our family. Anyone have any suggestions?

**We are on a ground floor w/ an outside area we can let the dog on a long leash to spend time outdoors other than daily walks.

It's one of those well-know facts but I was wondering if it was actualy true. If so, why?

I have read in -credible- books and articles that iguanas are herbivores, but when I placed a small quail chick infront of her, she (my iguana) didn't even bob her head at it she sneaked up to it and viciously snapped at it and swallowed the quail chick whole. I tried to pull it out, but I didn't want to harm my iguana. She did this on her own! And I had a good mix of collards, veggies and fruits next to her. And yes it's been months since that incident, and she's healthy. Explain?

about a week or so ago i noticed a bump near the base of his tail. over the next few days it got larger until it was a little smaller than half of my fist. i put hot compresses on it but nothing made it smaller. then it seemed to pop and started oozing red puss. i put peroxide on it and thought everything would be ok. but then yesterday i noticed it was back, the same size as before. and now it is oozing again.

it seems he sleeps a lot more than he used to and is acting aggressive. he growls at me when i touch him or for no reason at all. i haven't noticed him eating a lot, either.

yesterday when i noticed the bump again i touched it to see if it was warm and he really didn't like it, so I assume the area is sensitive.

i am planning on taking him to the vet very soon but i would like to know what is wrong with him. i love him very much and it's heartbreaking for me to see him so miserable.

thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm not sure if the odor is an infection or just a normal odor. She is a Shih Tzu. Do they normally have an odor in their ears? What can I use to get rid of the smell?

I bought a betta fish 2 days ago and it is in a 1 gallon tank that has a light and a filter. I let the tank cycle with distilled water for 3 weeks before I put the betta in.

Yesterday, I noticed little specks of white all over the fish. I treated with Quick Cure, thinking that it was Ich. But, today, the little white spots have been replaces by longer cottony fuzz patches which have also grown along its fins.

Is this Ich or something else? What can I do to treat it?

Has any one ever had this happen before??? I don't know what to do. Is there any thing I can do to get rid of it? I feel really bad about it. Thankyou for your help.
