Pets - 28 July 2007

My account was suspended- I'm back but I don't think they even read my 'violating' messages.

1. Q: Where can I find puppies for free?
My A: Why not ask for a puppy for your birthday -then it doesn't have to be free. Try petfinder.com - lots of small cute dogs who need to be adopted. The fees only cover vet care you'd have to pay for anyway. Goodluck. No dog is free. I adotped my dog and here's what I had to pay: $75 adoption fee that covered his neuter (usually $150 in my town). $130 for shots, deworming, heartworm test, and flea/tick/heartworm preventative. $45 for more preventative and a booster shot $200 for dog supplies (bed, brush, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, treats, food).

2. A girl had posted saying their were no schnoodles in shelters so I posted a Q for her with a list of all the schnoodles in shelters from petfinder.

Question: Where can I adopt house trained shih tzus in Torrance?
My A: Don't know if that's in north america- but if it is try petfinder.com

There has been much talk on this board about the slaughter ban and the impact it is having. There are also posts everyday from people wanting to breed their mares or keep stallions intact.
Take a look at this film to get some perspective on how bad the situation is and become part of the solution. It is disturbing but it's a message that needs to get out there and impact people. It's no good being smug because you helped ban slaughter. If everyone that viewed this film today then sent $10 to ReRun or another rescue association, it would be a start. More importantly, if just one person gets the message and reconsiders breeding their mare because they think she is pretty and will have a cute foal then this has served it's purpose!

I just asked a question a few minutes ago and got the answers I needed. I went and watched my corydoras a few minutes ago and she was frantically going up and down the glass, swimming over all the plants, and digging what seems to be holes. Is she trying to find a place for eggs or just looking for food?
(I have a male in the tank)

We just got this kitten, it's about 10 weeks old but it very bad, and it always gets the older cats very angry, the older cat isn't its mother or anything, and the older cat isn't playful.
And he always trys to run away.
Is there any way to tell the cat whos boss, and to teach him what he can and cannot do physically without hurting the cat.
I don't think spraying it with water is enough.

There is film that forms within the feeder. I have 4 feeders out. Three are in sunlight in the morning, one is clear plastic and the other two are red plastic. The 4th is clear glass and is in the shade all day. All 4 have this film. I have been able to remove it with a brush but now the brush is shot and I cannot locate another like it. This film looks weird and just putting something into the container and shaking it does not remove it.

I recently found a worm on my cat. So I told my mom, and she went out and bought some expensive cat dewormer. But... ..I was looking online and I think my cat has tapeworms, not roundworms and thats what the dewormer is for. Would it still kill them off by any chance??

Also I have 2 kids, what should I do to keep my kids safe and not get them?

I signed a 6 months lease on a house the other day. Problem is I didn't tell them i had a dog and two cats (although in my defense i didn't have the dog when i put in the application). I broached the subjects of cats with the landlord and he reluctantly agreed it was ok, as long as i didn't get a dog or anything. what should i do? I can't give up either.

I have three beautiful cats, the smallest one is always hissing on the other cats for no reason, sometimes I punish her by locking her in the closet for a while, but I feel very guilty after, can anyone tell me what to do?

I really want to get a cat, but I am worried becuase my neighbors have cats that walk around in our garden (and fight sometimes with other cats in the area). I don't want the cat to stay in the house the entire time, either, for several reasons.

and will she get cramps like human females do or what? (I have a 3 month old kitten....she's my baby, and I would like to know about this, as I do not know ANYTHING when it comes to cats and their cycles...) and how often will she have it? I mean, is it every month like humans or what? (she's inside all of the time and we have no other animals, so I am really debating on wether to get her "fixed" or not) Thanks in Advance.

I just recently got a kitten, and it's recently been curious and running all over the place, making fights with whatever it comes in contact with.
When I'm with it though, it's calm and subtle... except sometimes it will even try to attack me!
I think it's playful, but how can I tell whether it intends to hurt me, or is just practicing for when It's full grown?

Disclaimer... I have NOT consulted a vet about this yet and would NEVER EVER seriously consider doing this until I have done extensive research by myself AND with a veterinarian.

That being said... I just adopted a kitten from the pet shelter. She is a beautiful little medium haired tabby kitten and is the sweetest thing. According to the shelter staff, when she was born her umbilical cord was wrapped tightly around her left rear foot and her paw ended up eventually falling off. She walks on her leg on soft surfaces like carpet, but when she walks on hard surfaces she hops to avoid walking on it. It looks like a little peg leg and the bone juts right up to the skin. I have done some research and it looks like amputation to avoid irritation is an option. Has anyone had a kitten that needed it's leg amputated? What is the cost? I know recovery isn't that long, but how did it effect the kitten? Any imput is appreciated! Thanks so much!! BTW... her name is NOT tripod. :)

I'd like to clean out the kitty litter box, but I'm not sure what to use when doing it.. and how the best possible way would be. I'm figuring to use a hose, but what type of product should be used? I know bleach should NOT be used because it mixed with the urine will product harmful chemicals... anyone know?

Also, what's a suggestion for the cats to use in place of a litter box while I am washing /drying their regular one?

Thanks!
