Pets - 29 January 2007

We tried Advantix with absolutely no luck at all. Following the vet's advice, we bathed our puppy and applied Advantage once she was dry, and to my amazement she was damn near flea free for a few days. Then tonight she wakes me up, obviously misserable, and sure enough, she's covered. I've spent about 30min picking off and squishng fleas the best I can, but I need to do something better. We plan to treat the house just as soon as we get the chance to, and at that point we'll treat her yet again, but until then...

Would it be OK to get a flea shampoo for puppies and use it on her periodically *prolly only once, since we'll be getting the house done in the next few days, come hell or high water* until we feel that investing in a fea treatment will work? I CAN"T figure why it isn't other than the house is infested. All the cats seem fine, though... I don't get it.

After getting 4 fish last week, I noticed that the water has started to become murky and the fish were acting lethargic. We have a filter, etc, so we're thinking the cigarette smoke from our apartment is being filtered into the tank. Also, two of the fish just died of ich, could this also have a correlation to the smoke?

I have two cockatiels that hang out on the top of their cage most of the day. They like to hang their bums off the side and poop ends up on the floor...EWW! Well, I spend a lot of time cleaning it up. I was wondering if the cage that has the little sides the come out around the bottom would really be helpful. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'll soon be receiving six mystery snails and plan on keeping them in a 10-gallon aquarium. Is it okay to keep a b.n. catfish in there too, or would it eat too much of the snails' food?

I think my dog just ate some gum. I threw some gum away, and I just went in my room now and I saw gum on my bed and the floor. My dog got to it, and I think she may have eaten some. Do you think it could be harmful? Thank for your answers.

She's 1/2 rotweiler and 1/2 lab. She's spunky, playful, likes to lick you (face, hands, feet), she loves people especially kids, and she's soooo cute. I was thinking of the names Aaliyah, Mariah, Caelyn (kay-lynn)... but those names do not quite fit her and the first two are famous artists. I'm stumped!! Her picture is up so you can see her. Hopefully someone will see her and come up with a name for her.

I just came home from work and I find out that a friend of the family gave my child 2 small goldfish while I was out. My husband put the fish in our tank without knowing if it was okay. I was told that you shouldn't mix them in the same tank,so now what do I do and should I take them out right away. I have a 10 gallon tank with 2 zebras and 1 guppy.

Discussion in 4H today, and I can't find anything online about it. The adult leader said 360º...the only thing I've found online conclusively said 180º.
Anyone with experience, and an URL, I would greatly appreciate it. I really dislike my girls having incorrect facts.

My kitten likes to chew on it, he found it from the garbage can in the bathroom. If it's safe, I would let him chew fresh one while I'm holding both end of the string. I'm just wondering if the mint or any flavor from the floss is harmful for feline, I'm already aware that kitten playing with any kind of strings should be under human supervision.

neutered male, maltese mix, has slept in my bed since a puppy.

Why would he start peeing now? And in his own bed too. I thought they wouldn't do that.

I have a english cocker, he is 9 years old and looks is great shape, but I'm concerned about him aging. I want him to live and be close to me as much as possible, he is my baby. Does anybody had a english/american cocker? How long did your cocker survive?
