Pets - 27 January 2007

My dog was at a shelter that said he is a pure bred Alaskan Malamute... But he doesn't really look like one.

Here are some links:

My dog's face;

He's has more hair and he's much more bulky than Alaskan Malamutes I've seen...

He's also has big feet, like a wolf.
Please help me!?

I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this sudden onset of symptoms? he will walk and then all of a sudden - bag legs wobble and he is unable to continue - and stops. He does not seem to be in any pain and is eating and everything as normal, aside from this symptom. I will be bringing him to the Vet on monday, but just wondered if anyone had anything like this happen ? I do not believe it to be arthritis as it was SUDDEN, and he is not very old. He's always been very healthy and was just at the vet for a yearly check up last week, all was normal then too.

Female dog, she is about 5 months old. And the last week or so she wont stop jumping on the table or jumping up grabbing my food, digging holes, trying to escape etc. What is her problem? Is this normal with dogs? She is absolutely terrible, and whenever she is bad we punish her by putting her in the cage, but once i let her out she just does something new now. What oh what can I do I am going out of my mind?

In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive."
-PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?
"I don’t use the word "pet." I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance."
-Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.
"It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just, road would be ending the concept of pet ownership."
-Elliot Katz, President, In Defense of Animals, "In Defense of Animals," Spring 1997

when you scratch it in certain spots. I know the scratching feels good, but what makes the leg move? Is it a nerve or something?

His tail wags because he wants to play, but he is too hyper and scares other dogs. Its not aggression, thats not the problem. I want him to get along with other dogs and play so he gets comfortable around them and calm. Help?

I had a pit-bull/lab mix dog. She was so beautiful and she was the sweetest dog I have ever known. She loved everybody. We took her to get spayed, she was barely 2 years old, and she developed renal failure. I decided it would be best if my boyfriend and I were with her when they had to put her down. I didn't want her to be alone, her death was inevitable, so we agreed to have her put down so she would suffer no more. Well, we watched, and held her while she died. I have never cried so hard in my life. Now, I can not sleep without a light on, and her death keeps repeating over and over in my head. It wont go away. Please, does anybody have advice? This is killing me. I loved her so much.....

The vet doesn't open until Monday, and there isn't an emergency vet that I can go to. He hasn't gone #2 at all this weekend, and he isn't as active as he normally is. Last night he had what looked like a siezure (he has had those since he was a baby, and is almost three, two different vets have said that in some rabbits that is common, and nothing to worry about...I am skeptical about that one though). Anyways, is there something I can do for him until I can get him to the vet Monday morning? Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Look guys keep in mind that I am thee most animal lover in the world and taking that 7 month old kitten back to the shelter really was very hard for me, but also keep in mind that I made the decision based on this.

My 16 year old cat died and both my 7 year old cat and myself were somewhat depressed and lonely..

I thought after reading many experts testimony that getting a 2nd cat would increase life span, exercise and the buddy system with my exsisting cat.

They were seperated and had many supervised visits for about a week, things went well however my older cat became depressed and was even cornered several times by the younger more agressive kitten.. She was obviously umcomfortable and even afraid of this younger smaller cat..

I still feel bad, but after coming back home and seeing my cat run around the house like a track starr, I know i did the right thing.. I'll call every friday to see if that young adorable kiity gets adopted
