Pets - 24 July 2007

I have 4 animals. 2 dogs and 2 cats. one of my dogs is a male. and the rest of my animals are all female and they are spaded. However, I have yet to get my male dog neutered. The problem with that is I have asked my husband if I could get him neutered and he gets mad at me everytime I bring it up. He thinks it is taking away his man hood or something. The dogs that is.

I have heard that just by getting him neutered could help make him less aggressive and it could end up helping him live longer.

What could i do or say to convince my husband to let me do this? He is currently in the army and is overseas at the moment but I just cant up and have it done with out him being okay with it as I dont want any fights and I dont want him to end up being angry with me for it. Please help as I want what is best for my dog and all my animals.

Thanks!

How long does it take to acclimate a new fish to the temperature of a tank? How long do they have to float in their bags in the tank before I can let them in?

I have a approx. 6 month old female cockatiel and she has a bump on her chest that has yellow dots on it. Im worried that it might be something bad like a tumor. Please tell me what you think it might be or if you have had similar experiences with your bird.

I am planning to take my fish on a trip (don't ask), and am going to put it in a medium size cup. How long would it be OK to leave the cover on at a time, if there aren't any holes? Please don't assume I'm killing a fish, this is an honest (if possibly stupid) question!

Ok well I have 6 guppy fry and I got a 2.5 gallon lil tank to put them in today.But I was wondering should I have put these 6 in the 2.5...or my tetras in my 10 gal with my other 5 guppies...I was wondering maybe if the babies would do better with the other guppies or by themselves? I had to move the babies somehow cuz I have a serpea and 2 red eyed tetras and one tiger barb and they ate the lil ones when I let them out of the net thingy.I put the 6 in the 2.5 but should I put them in the 10 gal and move the tropical fish in the 2.5 instead? Thanx!!

What kind of oscar fish or fishes do you have or have had, how big did they get, how big were their habitats(gallon wise) and what do you feed them.

I have three kids, ages 6, 3, and 2. I also have a 3 year old Lhasa Apso. Shes a tiny, 12 lb dog, but she is constantly snapping and growling at my kids. She was fine as a puppy, but shes getting really bad about it. Im afraid shes going to bite them. If shes laying on the couch and they just walk by, she growls. What should I do? The dog is very sweet to me, just doesnt like my kids.

My dog has been itching like crazy lately and it's keeping me up all night. I have tried Frontline, Biospot and K9 Advantix and not one of them has worked. They cut down on the itching a little bit, but he is darting around like fleas are biting his butt and he keeps biting at his legs. He had a flea bath each time before I applied the topical treatments. Whats gives? I can't stand seeing him be so uncomfortable but I can't think of what else to do. My 2 indoor cats use Frontline and they never scratch.

Just ONE of MANY reasons not to breed without being FULLY prepared and knowing what you are doing on the link above.

Admittedly, this person has been PARTICULARLY stupid, but it does at least give an example of ONE of the things that can go wrong.

Why do some of you encourage people who know very little to breed from their pets?

This fish is about 10 inches from head to tip of tail, it has a red/white pattern, and a big lump on its head. I believe it is an Oranda Goldfish, but not too sure. what are your thoughts?

I have a mix of male and female fancy guppies and i want to start breeding them..i have 3 painted tetras (yes, i know that it's really cruel how they are dyed, bu my mother got them for me and didn't know about them at the time). should i remove the tetras from the tank w/ the guppies while the have the eggs and fry?? it's a 25 gal tank w/ good cover (ie: rocks, plants, breeding grass, etc.)....if i do i have a 2.5 gal tank i can put the tetras permantly if need be.
thanks~Katie♥
