Pets - 20 June 2007

My neighbors who were feeding a ferral cat and her 3 kittens moved and deserted them yesterday. We had a flash flood yesterday and when I woke up and went to feed them 2 of her babies were laying in the yard dead! My husband said that they went into the drainage pipes to stay dry and safe, but the water came thru on both sides of the pipes, quickly filled up and killed the little kitties. :(
The momma kitty just walks around crying for her babies even though she saw that they had died. Is she looking for them anyway? Or is she just in mourning. She wanders off sometimes leaving her only baby alone. How can I help her? It is so sad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I have a (full pedigree) 6 year old Springer Spaniel who I am thinking about having spayed, due to the increased risk of uterine infection after about the age of 8 (she was a rescue dog we have had since last year). However, before I ask the vet to do it, I need to rule out the possibility of her having puppies ever, and to make sure it is the best choice for her long term health, to have her spayed. The vet has said that if we do it, she needs to be spayed in the next two weeks, or otherwise wait until after she has her next season. I have small children and a busy life, and I don't think having puppies will be the best option because of that. I am partly thinking of the financial rewards of rearing puppies, and the joy for the dog to be able to have her own puppy (we would definitely keep one for her), but am also aware that there are plenty of dogs out there desperate for homes, without me bringing more into the world. Any helpful advice would be much appreciated.

I had four little adorable Jack Russell Terrier puppies which are two months old. I would also attach their photos for interested buyers for viewing. They had their first vaccination jab done recently. Prices will be placed below to their respective photos. Thanks and please help.

We are building a fairly large (36' x15') run/ kennel for our large newly adopted dog.
A 15' x8' area in the back will be tarped on all 4 sides. with an opening on inside for entry. The top will be tarped as well.
Tarps- Local stores have no selection as far as sizes/ colors go. I have checked on line and found several but have questions.
Obviously, they need to offer shade and be the waterproof poly type. In Indiana, the summers are hot and the winters are very cold. Shade factor- do only the blue colors offer the best shade? We would really like to have brown/ tan. It seems those, or any color other than the blue only offer UVA protection like you would need for a car, etc. to prevent fading, and don't offer shade. Other colors, in the poly tarps, such as the brown, often say they are translucent. How could a tarp be translucent?
What do I need to look for in a tarp beside the mil- thickness? Those with outdoor dog- what do you use? He has insulated dog house.

I am having the hardest time house breaking my 6wk old puppy. Last December I had got another puppy at 7 weeks, and it took me less then 3 days to house break him. This new puppy is female, and just so stubborn, I've had her a week, and there is little improvement. I've tried the crate training, and that didn't work, I can't get her used to it, no matter what I try. So that option is out! I don't know what else to do, I'm not sure if her age is a factor into how hard this is. If someone can please give me any tips or advice, thanks!!

I brought in 3 rats for quarantine for a friend, and it turns out they had myco. They've been ALL over the house because I love putting them all over the place. The bed, the couch, climbing all over my clean towels, loose in the bathroom while I take a shower. You name it. So now I'm pretty sure my whole house has the bacteria floating around and I am going to be getting 2 new rats in just a couple of days from a local breeder, but I really do not have time to scrub down the walls and every corner of the house with a toothbrush.

Anyway, here's the question:

How long does it take for the disease to die off? I know humans can carry Myco, obviously not have it, but just transmit it. How long will it be before it wears off from me, and before it dies off in the house? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Something sure fire that does not involve burning it down or waiting one year?

Please, if you have any, I'd like to see sources!!

Thank you!!
