Pets - 12 July 2007

hi, my dog is a 7 month old rottwieler. he lives in the house with us. he's really sweet, although a bit rough some times, but when it comes to strangers, he becomes a totally different dog! our gardener can't go into our yard without coming into the house first. he goes nuts! the first time he did this we were all very concerned, he had foam in his mounth and his hair was all standing up.
I guess he thinks that if people are aloud to come into the house, then their a friend. but when I walk him he keeps barking at people and, again, his hair stands up. I sence that it's really not that he means harm but he's scared of people, since when he was still a baby we didn't really take him outside to meet people because rottwielers are very delicate in their first months.
I'm really afraid that one of these days it really gets out of my hands and my familys. I don't want to send him to a dog school either. any sugestions help.
ps. he's a jumper too

I dont have any chemicals in the water. Its all tap. The fish would have oxygen in the water due to the filter I have in there, it has like a water fall and like the bubbles under the water will [[ should ]] give them oxygen. Right? Yuo know I dont want to out them in the water and then they die, because they are really pretty fish! hey are only 3 fish that I want to put in there. Well, 3 different types of fish. Would it be safe to put them in there with the turtle? The turtle is a red- eared turtle. I need answers and FAST!

My cousin's last dog just dies and I wanted to give her a new puppy as a suprise. I was wondering if anyone had or knows someone that has a free lab puppy. And I know there is such thing as a free puppy because I see them all over the place. I would rlly appreciate it and so would my cousin. Thanx!!!!

My dog has this almost ritual type thing he does everytime before he eats.
First, he will push his nose in and out of his dry dog food several times, then he will rub his nose on the carpet surrounding the bowl also pushing the bowl forward and spilling out bits and pieces of his food. He will repeat this process several times.
It's funny to watch. : )

Any ideas as to why he is doing this?

Is it totally necessary to vacinate my small dog every year? I read online that dogs get over vacinated and to much can be dangerous for them. I have a small chihuahua and i have had him vacinated last 3 years, but everytime i do i am so nervous because he has always had reactions to the shots. First year he got so swollen looked like a bulldog. Second year they gave him benedryl right before, so he did not swell up, but he heart raced for almost 24hours and he could not keep still all day and night after. Last year, i decided to talk with the vet about not giving it to him and i went ahead and did the rabies first then waited a month and did the 8 in one shot.
I have just read that for small dogs once is enough that dogs can get to much vacination. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks.

I have a 40 gallon tank with only 3 goldfish in it. One of them has fin rot I believe. The fins (top, sides, and tail) started to deteriorate several months ago and I have tried different medications. It is to the point where he now looks like "Finding Nemo" (one big fin, and one smaller fin"). I've tested the water levels (Ammonia, Nitrite, pH) and all the tests come out ideal.

His fins have a bit of a white outline on them where it is starting to deteriorate. I'm worried he won't have fins soon.

What can I do to stop this? He is about 5 years old. Thanks!

in my old tank i noticed that about half the time i watched my fish at night, my guppys and sometimes my blackneons, looked like they were PLAYING in the filter!
well, not IN the filter, but when the new water came out of the filter...thing, it created somewhat of a current. i realised that two of my guppys were swimming back and forth through and around the current, picking up alot of speed through it. but i dont think they were trying to go anywhere, because they turned around and stopped right before the wall came...
soon enough the other two were doing it too, and so were the two neons! the mollys never did that maybe because they were bigger and it didnt do anything to them, or because the mollys are older than my guppys and neons...

anyway, i got a new bigger one and within a week or so, they found a new current! only now, i have also added 3 blue neons and they played along too! soo, are they PLAYING, or just doing... something else?

I found a little baby in my front yard today just a few minutes ago. I think it might have fallen out of it nest because, it seem like it leg hurting and can't fly, I don't know where it nest is. But it is alive and well. I put it in a box now because I fear that cats might get to it.


What should I do with it?

She's a 7 year old golden retriever and has been having them 4 about a year. we found a big lump on her stomach but the vet doesnt know why she has the seizures. afterwards she loses her memory 4 a couple of hours and walks around and runs into doors and stuff. she seems to only have them when shes sleeping and she can have up to 4 in a day then none for the next 6 weeks, its weird.

The water has turned a pinkish orange... but it doesnt look dirty. It's clear! Why is it like this and sould I clean out their tank? I really only clean it when it gets too much algea and it really doesnt have any algea because it's small, has a small filter, no light on it, and an algea eating snail (also orange if that matters)... but I know that the more you clean the tank the bigger they get, and I dont want them to get so big I need a new tank for them... but I also dont think it's healthy to be swimming around in pink water....

Oh and also, I dont think it's a reflection thing because I have the same exact tank only in orange on the other side of the book shelf holding a red-tailed shark and that's perfect!
The tank holding the goldfish is purple if that matters at all...

First of all, I would like to say that I am totally humane and only want to do this for my dog's sake. Now, I have talked this over very cautiously with my uncle who is a vet. First of all, if I did do it, my dog is still a pup. We will simply be putting a rubberband around the end to cut off circulation until the tail falls off... there will be no pain involved.

Ok, so, now to the story. My dogs tail is huge (and thick)! She is haft pitt bull. Everytime she passes by people she hits them in on the legs and people often say it hurts. It's always a very loud thump. SHe can be sitting somewhere, and it just because her tail is so huge, it just goes... thump, thump, thump.... it mean she knocks thing over constantly, and we get on to her about it, but the poor thing, she never knows why she is getting into trouble!!

Please help, what should I do?

ok i just got 3 neon tertras today, i read all about them and they have a 1 gal. tank with plants hidey holes and plenty of shady areas, and some tropical fish food, but my bubbler is really old and doesn't work very well, i have a really good bubbler with alot of outlets but its hooked up to my big 10 gal. tank downstairs with my huge goldfish that would eat the tertras in 1 bite, i would like to keep the tertras in my room but im just worried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! should i risk them being in that small tank with little circulation, but ill be able to watch them before i go to bed, or should i put the tank downstairs and hook it up to the good bubbler and not watch them as much, like when their lights dim when it gets dark??? i think i already know the answer but what do you think?????
