Pets - 28 June 2007

I have about 10 acres of nice land and would like to own a horse and am not sure what kind of financial responsibilities there might be. Obviously, food and shelter, but what other major expenses might there be?

How much should I plan on spending per month per horse?

How much could you expect to

I have treated my yard and home and the fleas are still horrible. I am getting ate alive and I can only imagine what my poor pets are going through. I have treated my animals as well as everything else and am currently at a loss as to what I can do or if there is anything better available that is affordable to help this situation.

My dogs eat on a round: Raw, Canned and Kibble. Their raw in Natures Variety and the Kibble and Canned is Merricks. Being that they are adults they only eat one full meal a day. But I am looking for some good treats for the morning and afternoon snack. We've tried many different things, but I haven't found one that they really like. Any Ideas!

I have raised fish for 30 years. If you will get a good under gravel system with power heads and a piggy back filter optional you will have very little problems. Do a 25% water change and add salt once a month and most importantly do not over feed. That is where the biggest problem starts. For about $125.00 you can get a diatom system to cycle and clean the tank and it puts the water back in the tank after going through the filter sand. I do this about every 2 months . I break down my tanks about every 2 years. If you will set your heaters to 82 degrees most diseases can not live in that tempature. Also the bigger the tank the easier it is to take care of.

I live near the woods and i have a small jack russel/beagle mix female, the other day i was petting her and noticed a small bug walking around on her paw, my first thought was crap a tick and rushed to get a tissue to pull it out.
when i got back to my dog the bug was gone so i did was i noramlly did and moved away her hair looking for the 'tick' whenever i found it, it moved quickly burrowing under her other hairs and i kept chasing it but couldnt get it out (it wasnt attached it just kept moving rather fastly)
so i went to get my father who saw it, said it wasnt a tick but didnt know what it was becuase it moved so fast, finally we got it off her but then it fell and we dont know where it went, my dad said to look up what bugs might live on dogs and move fast. so this is what it looked like, can anyone tel me what it was and if its dangerous
very small and oval shaped, light brown, very fast, NOT a tick, didnt have any visible legs of course it was very small though. please help

I want to put her in the wild but i do not know if she will survive on her own.

I have a 23 month old cat and she is normally very quiet but loves attention and isnt a huge fan of being held but if you pick her up she just goes with the flow. She is still eating and drinking fine but ever since we got back from camping on sunday she has been sleeping in weird (hiding) place, and when someone picks her up she squeels pretty loud. Like I said she IS eating and drinking fine. Has anyone experienced this?
