My female Cocker Spaniel has entered her first heat cyle, she is 5 months young. I was caught off guard and spent much of yesterday cleaning the carpet after her. I have seperated her from our male Cocker Spaniel because she is too young. I have her outside on the deck and I have made it as comfortable as possible. I spend time with her and give her special treats and rub her back.
She seems miserable and cries a lot.
I would greatly appreciate any insight and suggestions on how to make this not so trumatic for her and for me. She has outgrown her crate, so I have nothing to keep her inside in.I don't want to risk our male getting to her before her body is ready for him and puppies.
I read on the internet that the heat cycle could last 2 weeks...is this accurate ?
Thank you so much in advance.
p.s. I brought our older female Lab to keep her company and hopefully to comfort her. Our Lab was nuetered and never went through what my female Cocker Spaniel is experiencing.

2007 over an estimate of 2 million dogs and cats are slautered as we speak in South East Asia - Hundreds of Thousands of items of Clothing - Toys - Fur Rugs - such items are DNA Tested to differentiate the Fur used - maybe that one over there is a German Shepard or that one over here is a Golden Retriever or that one could that be a Labrador Puppy - 4 - Golden Retreivers were Skinned for their Fur to make One Large Rug - Well people have a Dreadful Day.

Was just wondering if black sheep stay back forever or do they eventually turn white?

I have to sell two of mine. One is a 3 year old White faced male who is very handsome. He talks a bit and whistles many tunes. However, he prefers men and tends to nip women. He was hand raised. The other is a white faced female who is two and rather mellow. She is almost all white and very preety. She isn't super friendly but doesn't nip like the male. I have to get rid of them due to unfortunate circumstances as much as I regret it.

Yes, we are planning on breeding her. Thanks. No lectures on spaying please. She is a beautiful, super smart, show quality Sheltie with people that already have given us their numbers for pups!

My younger Min Pin loves ALL his toys, he is absolutely obsessed with them and if you take them away he actually cries! His favorite are stuffed animals that make the actual animal noise, like his "Froggie". He's spoiled rotten and so cute. My older one likes rope toys, he will chew on them for hours. He also likes the bones that are sold with peanut butter or other things inside, they keep him busy too. So what is your dogs (or any pet for that matter) favorite toy?

I'm only considering wheels that are large enough for a Syrian hamster and have solid, not wire bases and backs.

Which brand/model is the quietest?
Is it quieter as a stand-alone or snapped on to a wire cage?

Please only answer if you've tried a few different types of wheels.

i just got a kitten, already learned about the litter box.

(just a bit of info on his background)
his mother suddenly rejected him so my friend gave it to me.

hes about 6-7 weeks old.

what should i do about his health care?
what should i ask for when i go to the vet for the first time?
do i need to do some sort of overall checkup besides the vaccines?

i worry because i think he breathes really fast as he sleeps(am i overeacting?)

any help would be apreciated.
thanks.

Hey, my cat has been acting sickly all day. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow, but I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas about what's going on. It's hard to explain but he just acts very tired and uncomfortable. Almost like he's in pain. He's sleeps a lot more than he usually does and just isn't interested in anything. I can barely even get him to purr. He squints a lot and is drooling clear spit around his mouth. Not a lot, but a little.

a vet? Do you think that they will charge me a lot since it is a wild kitten? I just can't stand to see a little helpless thing be sick. I think it has worms. Should I maybe find some medicine at the pet store,since I can't afford a big vet bill?

If I put a 6.5 watt submersible pump at the bottom of a 20 gallon tank, how much would the heat from the pump raise the tank temperature?

If the tank is currently at 72 degrees, how much can I expect it to go up by?

required vaccines. However, will this do more harm than good? (because he is a street cat) Can someone with experience in rescuing cats please give me some advice?

My dog Molly, broke her foot 2 weeks ago & chewed up her 1st cast & after they wrapped it up again they put a big plastic white collar on her so that she can't chew up her cast again she really needs to wear it b/c she was going nuts chewing every chance she got. We tried lots of things before wefinally had to resort to the collar, socks & bags ect. Anyway now it's been on for 5days and I have been taking it off for a few minutes each night to let her get a break and I rub her neck and shoulders but she starts chewing on it as soon as I stop petting her so I have to put the thing back on. What can I do to make her feel better? She can't reach her ears to scratch them & she I know her bandage itches too. I feel bad that shes catch get any relief & its so AKWARD Other than that she is managing well playing with the cats & running, a little more weight on her broken leg each day. Eating drinking poop & PP is norm. I just want any ideas to make the collar more bearable- 4 wks to go.
