Pets - 28 June 2007

My dog ate something in the backyard this morning. He wouldn't let me get near him to see what it was. He's never done this before (granted he's only a year and a half). It looked to me like a bunny or squirrel (I saw gray fur sticking out of his mouth) but when he picked it up I heard a squeaky noise like a toy so maybe it's a mouse. I'm wondering if it was infected with a disease, can it pass to him? I crated him so I could watch him more closely and see if I need to take him in or it nature will take its course. I can't find any animal remains in the backyard. What, if any, disease can be passed from one animal eating a diseased animal? Anyone have a similar experience and what to share?

they have been asking us to get a dog for years and we've finally agreed to do so, but we're unsure what would be the best breed, looking for a smallish dog that's very affectionate as the youngest would cuddle him to death.

she was our favourite and it has broken our hearts. we cant eat, sleep and are so sad all of the time. we got two kittens after it happened, not to try and replace her but to take our mind off her and try to take some positives. we certainly dont regret getting them but are finding it so so hard getting over our original, any ideas on what we could do?

thanks

Hi there all. I posted recently regarding my dog with brown urine... We have been treating him with some medication and the urine is back to normal. however, he now has a cough and a thick nasal discharge. this is within the same week of brown urine (of which tests show it is not blood). do these symptoms add up to anything? many thanks to all who replied last time as well...

I have 5 cats at the moment. 1 is an out side cat the rest stay inside (due to their ages). The out side cat has gone and got fleas and given them to the rest of the cats! I have put spot on stuff on the older cats and flea collars on the younger 3, but it doesnt seem to be working.

any ideas on what to try next??

Only part of our garden is secure enough for bunny to run and play at moment as we've not long moved in. As we are working on the garden at the minute, we put a gate up, so he is secure and safe at all times. If we go beyond the gate we allow him through as we can keep an eye on him, but if we dont let him through gate on his own he chews it. why does he do this and how can we stop him? He's quite a good bunny and learns really quick. We've already solved problem of him chewing all the plants.

Im a night owl and hopefuly their are other ones with good answers because I have noticed with the questions I have asked you get tons of answers within minutes and not hardly any after a hour, my book Im writing to all you yahooooers aside , my adult and soon to move out daughter got a mixed breed pitbul and this dog will not ever ever relax it runs around my house like a kid that need ridlin , and it never ever quits bitting ,,, while it dont bite rabid like its getting big and its needle like teeth hurt like hell,, This dog is not trying to hurt and when its tired I can say kisses please and it gives them. Bigger concern my baby girl while she is 22 is getting ready to have her first baby and wont take my advice and find it a new home while its so cute, enough with me writing a storey any advice on wether the dog is nuts or not or a danger to my first grandchild would be greatly appreciated, any good answer will get a good rating , winning answer all the stars I can give.

I have two rabbits, one of which is the most affectionate mature and well behaved rabbit i've ever seen, she is like a little cat. The other however is an angry little monster that doesn't like being touched, lifted or anything. He constantly growls, really quite vocally and he pounces on you an bites from inside the hutch if you attempt to fill the food bowl. I am at the end of my tether with him, he is not a good pet although i do like his little angry personality it can't go on, is there any way of stopping this behaviour before my partner sells him??

I don't normally like her to be out there in the soil, getting dirty. but my dad let her out. My boyfriend and I tried calling her in. but for some reason, she wouldn't come. She just laid there and start crying. So we go to grab her, but she runs inside and huddles in a corner in my room. =(
I bring her back out to the living room to check to see if her gums are nice and pink, if she has any thing bleeding.. but not a thing. So we let her go and she hurries off to that corner.. I let her settle for a while until I sat with her. I would ask her what was wrong and she'd just cry. It's the first she's ever cried like that. (she's not crying, like screaming-crying, but just whining.. crying) So I take her into the bathroom because apparently that's where the best lighting is, and again i see NOTHiNG wrong with her. But I noticed she keeps licking 'herself'
Would it be because she's laying out in the soil or could she be pregnant? =\ Or could she just be acting up because i went out? hmm

Inside my bunny I can feel this organ thing on his left side only. When he eats, it gets harder. Is that his stomach?

How many of you out there have heard about the Spay/Neuter legislation running around the California legislature? It would require any dog or cat over four months old to be neutered. Only exceptions would be licensed breeders, police dogs and service dogs. What do you think?
I read in the paper that the AKC has come out against it. It said the AKC, for the first time in its history, is forming a Political Action Group to fight this legislation. They have said they may pull their second largest dog show out of Long Beach. This could cost the LA area as much as 30 million dollars in lost revenue.
Do you think they have the clout to pull this off?
