Pets - 29 January 2007

My female beta fish is having a very hard time swimming. She still is eating but with a struggle to swim to the food, it has to hit the bottom and takes her a while. She looks healthy and her color is great but she just can't swim. Can't swim to the top of the 1 gallon tank. Is this causing any pain to her? Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi, I have noticed that different dog foods have the same amount of protine. How can this be when the ingredients are so different. One is meat and the other is meat meal?? some are corn/ or rice? I Love to feed Bil-Jac as it makes my dogs coat beautiful (no dry skin here), Gives them great muscle tone, and Condenses their poop. Less Poop less mess. I love that. But how can other dog foods that are corn have the same protine? Bil-Jac Dry food is 28%.

If my dog eats my mobile phone ( 1/2) of it actually, do I need to get his stomach pumped?

I've had him since he was a baby, and all I ever fed him is crickets.
All of a sudden he just stop eating them.
I tried mealworms, food pellets and even vegetables.
As far as I know the temperature is OK...same as always.

Any time anyone walks down the street past my house, my dog charges the fence barking her head off untill they are way down the street. I know she is just protecting her territory but it dosnt matter if they are walking in the street or even accross the street. If you try getting her while she is doing it she seems like she dosent see or hear you. If I punish her make her come inside tell her shes bad and make her lay down, the next time you let her out shes doing it again. Please help Im frustrated with it all.

I've had a male beta fish for about a month now, and he's been acting pretty odd lately...

he's in a 2.5 gallon tank with a hood and light. I was told by the people at the pet store that they need to be in the same water temp. when changing their water (for example, if the water he's in is 62 degrees, it should be 62 when I finish cleaning it and put him back in. When I first brought him home, the water was chilly (I'd guess 60ish) and I know they're supposed to have a heater, but will this harm him?

He has created a very large bubble nest, and is quite frisky with his bright orange plastic plant. I also heard I should buy him a live plant because it won't damage his fins, so I plan on that as well - any suggestions?

My main concern is that he is flaring up A LOT, and besides the constant rubbing against the fake plant, he is swimming quite quickly around the tank... he's pretty spazzy... is this okay, or do I need to calm him down?

Our dog submissevly urinated after we got her, she stopped it, and then we had her spade (spelling?) (fixed), following that she got a bladder infection, after taking her medication, it stopped for a while, now the problem is getting worse, the dog is terrified of me (a male) and almost everytime i try to take her outside she pees, now its getting worse, she will squat in the middle of an activity (as in doing it on purpose) and urinates, then she immediately runs away because she knows she's in big trouble.....we will be moving into a new house in a month or two and cannot have this, any advice?

I don't know much about tanks except we have benn maintaining a 10 gallon for alomost a year. This filter was givin with the tank and I was told was excellent. I have a bottom feeder and goldfish in the 10 gallon. How should I transfer over? How long should I let the tank run with just water before I put the fish in? I want to get some plants any suggestions? What about a heater I added one to my 10 gallon tonight as the tank came with a red fish yellow eyes seems to chase my goldfish. Also easiest direction to do it All. I put gravel down first then ? plant? then add water then do I add the stress coat? ANy other things I should buy?
Thank you all for help.
