Pets - 20 June 2007

We have a 9 week old GSD who loves to play in the park and is very active, but hates to walk. he doesn't mind the leash, but when we try to take him for a walk, even to go to the park (which is just around the corner), he will just lie down and you have to coax him to walk a few feet, and then he sits down again.

Thoughts

He had a rabies vaccine last night. He is 19! He seemed fine last night, but today he is walking around gingerly. When I pet his leg he flinches like in pain.

There are always those rare occasions when a tank will suddenly crash and the biological filtration will fail. Outside of surface area, and a fuel source, what are the necessary conditions/parameters for your nitrifying bacteria to grow and thrive in? What outside of medications could cause a massive death in your bacteria colony?

I have been in the process of looking for an apartment and 90% of them expect pet owners to pay $20 - $50 extra a month in pet rent. Isn't it enough that we already pay a pet deposit.

I have a 9 week old kitten and he keeps biting and biting at my arms and ankles. I know that it is my fault because before we had any toys for him we used our fingers and toes but now he just won't stop!! I try to bat his nose, distract him or give him a firm "no!" and he just is zeroed in on me. I do own other toys but nothing seems to work. I will try a spray bottle but only as a last resort. I do have another kitten on the way but I don't get him until the first week of July because he tested positive for feline leukemia, don't worry he will test negative because both of his parents are negative. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

We feed her a bowl of food in the morning and it sits there pretty much all day. But as soon as something gets thrown in the garbage, even if it's a paper plate, she's right on it licking it and sniffing for more. When any of us gets something to eat, she sits at our feet and stares at us. Just stares. She acts insulted if we yell at her to get out of the garbage, and will follow us around if we have any food for ourselves. At meal times, she can be sound asleep somewhere in the house and as soon as I call the kids to wash up, she's at the table waiting for us to give her our food. We DO NOT feed her from the table and the only time she gets people food is if it falls on the floor and she gets to it before we do. We got her from the shelter almost 2 months ago and at first she messed in the house a lot. Now she's better with that and has a new issue. How can we fix this problem? Or is it something that is embedded into her? She's about 9 months old, black lab mix.

Who ever gives me the correct answer first wins.
Why does the Schnauzer have that mustache and eyebrows that they are known for? Its not to make them look more mature.
It had a perpus at one time.

I got the tank a few days ago. I got a new filter and let the water condition for a little over a day. I just added a couple of fish yesterday afternoon then this morning I woke up and the water has a fogginess to it. It's not so foggy you can't see anything, it just makes it so the tank isnt as bright and pretty as it was. Is there something I am doing wrong, or should do? Or is this just what happens until the tank kinda settles? Thanks ahead for your answers.

God, I hate to ask this. We have a black lab for 14yrs now. She is so wonderful. She is getting up in her age and now has become deaf and the vet told us that she has an enlarged heart. She was on heart medications, but her being on that made her very slugglish and not eating well. We switched her meds, and same thing. The vet told us that we are real lucky to have her and two years ago he said to us, that we didn't have much more time with her.
She is now having a difficult time getting up the deck stairs which she needs to access the back yard. She constantly coughs due to enlarged heart, keeping us up at night. No heartworms.
I want to hold on to her as long as possible.
But, the question is, I don't know if she is in pain, or unhappy with life now. She wags her tail, and tries to play ball, but she can't and I think she is getting depressed about it.
Any other meds or suggestions? We love her dearly, but don't want to see her suffer.

I have 2 dauschund's. This morning they tied together while breeding. Does that tie guarantee puppies? I have been told previously that if the dogs tie then you will have puppies. I just want to know if others know if this true. Please do not tell me to have my dogs spayed and neutered. I have planned to breed my dogs. I am going to do everything right. My female will go to the vet very soon to be checked out. My puppies will all be taken to the vet to have their shots and worming. My dogs are registered and pedigreed. So save your "Get your dog spayed and neutered". I will not listen. I thank everyone who can give me the answer to my question without criticism about spaying and neutering.

Before the mating season, neither were really tame but I could get them out and hold them, take them to the shower for a bath, etc..
Now they barely let me change out their water or food without getting BIT!
Will they go back to being easier to handle after I remove the babies in a few weeks?
