Pets - 3 July 2007

....and I want to build a kind of lizard house so I can watch them out the window. What would attract them? Straw floors, grass or old cloths? What will make them feel safe and even lay their eggs there? What kinds of snacks can I leave to attract them? A little bowl of water or a miniature swimming pool? I don't want to catch them, just let them come and go and watch them in their house.
I've got lots of those dark brown ones with the bright red and yellow throats that puff out. I've got chameleons that are sweet. and others that are grey and white and squiggly and are marked like a rattlesnake. Don't like them as well.

Any suggestions? Don't want to spend $$$, just set it up.

For 3 days now I have been repeating the same word a lot to him while he is on my finger(I know 3 days is not a lot and 2 weeks is the normal period) and today he seemed to respond to it a bit anyway any other better tips to teach him to say joey his name. No record it and play it a lot that can kill them or cause a lot of stress.




Thanks in advance.

I had been using feminine hygiene wipes on my guinea pig to make his coat look nicer, but then I realized it was taking out the natural oils or something because whenever I cleaned his cage and got him out, his back was all wet and clumpy. I think the wetness and clumpiness had something to do with the wipes I'd been using. Now I'm using a washcloth with water on it to clean him. Is there a special brand of small animal shampoo or something I should use? I want his skin and hair to be healthy and fluffy again. Thank you.

They say you should have 1 more litter box than the number of cats that you have. In that case I would need 3 and there would be no room left for me. I have a small, 1 bedroom apartment and have 2 litter boxes right now (one in the bathroom and one in the living room). I would love to be able to have only the one in the bathroom but I guess that's not enough? Can 2 cats survive on one litter box?

I've been reading on these light systems on the net, I was wondering if you guys have any pointers for me to consider if I overlooked.
I have a 125Gal Bow front Tank, it's about 2ft deep, and 4 ft wide. I am building a hood for it, and I want to use a 250 or a 400 watt 20,000K Bulb.
How far should I mount it from the water surface?
Also, any warning you can give me would be greatly appreciated...........

I have a very small 10yr old yorkshire terrier with a persistant hacking cough. At first I thought it may be kennel cough from an unknown source but to my knowledge he has not knowingly been in contact with this and my other dog has not developed any symptoms. He is fine in every other way, sleeping on my bed and ok through the night, he is playing, eating and drinking as usual and barking too. Sometimes the cough will start up with too much excitement or without any reason, there is no real pattern. This cough started almost two weeks ago now and it is not really improving. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow so will find out the problem then but has anybody got any ideas what may be causing his symptoms? I am not bothered about the expense but I dont like my dogs being given medication for the sake of it and without good reason.

My dog went to the vet. He is a bichon. They said that he is very very sick. Here is what they said:
-He has white gums which means he is pale
-he lost 2 lbs.
-His stomach is swollen
-He is very thin
-His spine is very defined

What could be wrong? We are waiting for the results. He is 7 years old. Please, i am so scared!

We never really found out why she died. She started to do blue poo in the garden which looked somewhat seedy. She died the night before her vets appointment. Has anyone else heard of this happening? If so what could it have been that caused it?

I am going to be shadowing a veterinarian for a day and I am very excited. I want to make sure I learn as much as I can because I want to be a veterinarian. Does anyone know some good questions I should make sure to ask or a website with a list of questions. I used to always see them but now, when I need them, I can't find any.

I have a small Chihuahua dog. He stays in the house at night but when I have to go to work he goes outside since he does not have the potty training down. It has been really hot and I just want to make sure that I am treat my dog the right way. He goes out in my patio, he has a dog house that is made of wood, I also leave him lots of water with ice. I need to know if there is something else that I need to do so that he can be comfortable outside in the heat while mama is out working. He is only outside from like 9am to like maybe 5pm.

My family didn't have to worry about fixing my 10 year old cat, seeing as how when we got her 8 years ago, she was already spayed, so we have never dealt with the fixing process. Me and my mother decided to adopt a 3 year old precious feline, who is bigger than the cat I have, who is already big. My mother went to adopt her today, and she says that our baby is now ours, we just can't get her yet! I guess the shelter had made an appointment with a vet to get her spayed, and we can't pick her up until Thursday (today being teusday). I haven't spent much time with this kitty cat, and when we pick her up, she's probably have just gone through an intense surgery. They said that to begin with, she'd probably hide a little while in our house, and that it would take her a few days to adjust. Now she's probably going to want to hide more! How will I take care of her? Is there anything I'm going to have to do for her while she recovers, that I don't regularly do for my 10 year old kitty?

So the Albino Oscar and me just got through a really tough time in our relationship. His name is Clancy and he was going through a hard time for a while, deppression. Today it seems he snapped out of it and is starting to eat again.

The Dempsey doesnt know when to learn, the Piranha just doesn't like him.

The Piranha is a jerk.

I know this sounds like a odd question,but I want to make sure there's nothing wrong with her.
I have to scoop her litter box everyday.If I wait and do it every other day it looks like I've got 2 or 3 cats.I've had other cats in the past(one at a time) and never seen one poop so much.She is controlled fed,so I know that's not it and she eats and drinks ok.

My mom is 60 and her Akita just passed away. He was a friendly dog fiercly loyal to my mother and a great protector. I felt more secure knowing she was living alone with him. So any suggestions on a breed type that is at once friendly and loyal, but also a big dog and protective? Thanks! Also, I usually get my dogs from shelters. Any advice about that?
