Pets - 29 January 2007

biting her nails on her front paws. They are spliting and look horrible. she also has them very short, and when I look at them she pulls them away like they hurt or are sore. Is there a reason that she is doing this and how can I stop it, is their a supplement or something that I can give her to make them healthier?? Please any help is appreciated, I am worried that she is going to make herself bleed, espically if I am at work I don't want anything to happen to her...
Oh and she will be 4 years old in March, and this just started happening with in the last 2 months. She is a mixed breed sheapard, husky and wolf... Please any suggestions??

I love my cat and have had her for the longest but there's one problem. she's very affectionate to me and sometimes too affectionate. She loves to be petted and scratched and i would love her to sleep in my room cause she always scratches at my door to get in but all night long she comes up to my face and rubs against me when i'm trying to sleep. she'll even give me those little love bites all night to the point where i have to kick her out the room. i love her and i want her to be able to sleep with me but she's so weird. its this normal? and would i be able to break the habit?

Do you think it was the right choice for the owners of Barbaro to "take barbaro out of his pain"?
For anyone who doesnt know who this is...go research it on google.com

I was wondering if hamsters do actually attempt to clean themselves when they have "wet tail"? Or does it not want to because of the foul smell or because that's a symptom of the disease? I'm bringing my hamster back to the pet store tomorrow because i just recently bought it and it has all the symptoms of wet tail disease. I tried to wipe his butt with a wet napkin but it seems to be too dried up.

My cat just swallowed a rubber band. She thought it's a food, so she pounced and ate it before I could grab her. It has been 3 hours now and she seems normal. Will she be alright? I am thinking to take her to the VET tomorrow morning. I'm so worried about her now.

She also already pooped, but I don't see any rubber band in it. :(

I have 2 mystery snails and 2 mollies in a 10 gallon tank that is only 2 weeks old (not fully cycled but headed there with conditioner liquid, bacteria liquid, and cycle liquid plus freshwater aquarium salt) My problem right now is that the Mollies are hogging the algae wafers that I put in for the mystery snails. Any advice on what to do about this?? I also have 2 guppies and 2 Danios in the tank and they eat along with the Mollies in the morinig (flake food) I was told to feed the snails in the evening when I turn off the light. Any advice is much appreciated!!

I have a young (approx. 1 year old) lab mix that we rescued. He tested positive for heartworms but does not show symptoms yet. The cost for treatment is going to run about $500 plus 6 weeks of kennel confinement. I've heard of and have found a few natural treatments online, but am trying to decide if they are worth it. Has anyone else tried any of these? We've decided to go ahead with the vet's treatment, but I'm just looking for possible alternatives.

Thanks, Mrs. N.

I sold my pets to a lady who lives about 10 hours away. She was supposed to mail me a check but lost her check book and mailed cash. It has been over 3 weeks now and I have received nothing and she has my pets. There is no way to track it as she did not use delivery confirmation or have insurance. I don't know what to do. I need the money to pay my rent but I have no way of proving that she did not send it or that I have not gotten it.

I need help here. I have two westie terriers. Both female. The oldest is 8. The other is 1. Zoey ( the younger ) has been here for almost a year. Recently, they have started fighting. Viscious fighting. The kind of fighting that leaves one or both bloodied. I can't find a common denominator. It seems as if one looks at the other the wrong way. The other growls and they charge each other. Usually, I can catch one before they get to each other. Sometimes not, as I have no idea what sets them off.

I understand the whole one needs to be the alpha dog and the other needs to be the beta dog. Unfortunatley, it seems they both want to be the alpha and that just isn't going to set the envirnment for peaceful coexistance.

Has anyone found a way to socialize two dogs or have any ideas on what I can do?

My problem is I need to find a siphon or a pump or whatever to clean up the food on the bottom of my aquarium. I have a 10 gallon tank with only 1 angel fish. I have the water filled and regularily clean the filter and pump so that the water remains somewhat clean but I hate the look of all the food on the rocks. I am wondering what kind of siphon can I purchase that will help me get rid of the remains at the bottom without having to change the whole thing. It would just simplify my life and help me enjoy my aquarium. Please help.

I have had my kitten for about 5 weeks now, she is a five month old spayed female, is current on her vaccines, and negative for Feline Leukemia. About a week ago she developed a sore on her neck where the hair fell off and exposed a scab. My vetrinarian thought it was from another cat biting her, but she has not been around any other cats since i have had her. She prescribed tritop twice a day. The scab fell off about a day later, and exposed raw skin. I took her back to the vet who thinks it is some sort of skin disorder but didnt tell me what. She gave her a steroid shot of some kind, and said for me to bring her back in 4 days. Tommorow is her appointment for recheck, and I have found another area develop just above the original spot. I can see redness and I feel a lump. Has anyone any idea what this might be? (also, her ringworm test wont be conclusive for ten days, but its been 4 days and there has been no growth so far)

I bought a lazer mouse. Since it's cold, snow is on the ground, I want my cats to stay inside until the temperature gets a bit warmer. The cats both tried to humor me a bit by playing with it a little, but by the end of the day they both looked at the mouse in my hand and then looked at me as if to say "I know it's really you moving that mouse around."
