Pets - 28 July 2007

I recently just moved with my 2 cats to a new house. Before we moved they were indoor/outdoor cats, but now I have to keep them in the house for a month so they can get used to the new place. Is it normal for them to cry/meow all night. We have only been at our new house for 2 days and I am sure they are just mad and want to go outside.

I put the mother in a pan until she gave birth to them. Now I am wondering why long it takes until they grow up and I can put them in the fish tank without being devoured by the big mean fish. It's easier to take care of them in the fish tank and my mom needs the pan to cook.

I live in washington and in the summer it has ranged from 80-50 with rain to no rain, I assume he has survived all of these conditions. He also seems to be surviving just fine underwater. I know nothing about turtles and would like to ensure his survival.

I found a turtle outside, and my place is like a desert, i feed it lettuce but he doest drink. well i gave him like a 4 inch cup and i think he spilled it, then i gave it a rectangular bowl and it was pretty big and pretty small bowl but it seems to use it as a bath.
its kinda the size of a babies head.
i have a 2 inch turtle but in a tank i feed it some food they gave me with it, um but the outside turtle doesn't seem it like it, I'm a turtle lover and really want to give this fellow a good welcome to his new home.

What type of turtle is it, and any clue on what it's suppose to eat?

Please only answer seriously and only if you know about dogs or have a dog:

My brother does not have the time this summer to take my dog to the vet. He is so busy with his work and everytime he finds out he gets a day off, the vet is all booked. We were supposed to visit the vet about 3 months ago for vacines, check-ups, and heart-worm tests, but its getting late in the summer and I don't think my brother will ever take my dog. I just wanna know if its ok that she didn't take her vaccinations and stuff (only this year). Has anybody raised a dog without taking their dog to the vet and without giving it shots? She doesn't interact with other dogs that often and even if she does its only for a few minutes . I can't take her myself because I can't drive. But my dog seems very active and healthy. She is 5.

Yesterday I took my cat to the vet after finding out she had breathing problems, she has having heart failure. Vet collected some fulid from around her heart and said the cause was a tumor. We could reduce the fluid giving her some more time, but we don't know what else the cancer would do to her, or how long? So we put her down. She was meant to just close her eyes and drift off. She didn't! seconds after she was given the injection she jumped backwards trying to escape, the look of sheer horror, shock, fear and pain were in her eyes as she looked directly at me for 30 - 45 seconds before finally dying. This is hauting me, she was a real fighter and I feel I let her down - I wish I could go back and do all last week again. Why did she not go peacefully? I am so sorry. Full of guilt and Regret. Sorry China - I was trying to do the right thing.

I bought two kittens from a friend who is also a breeder of Siamese cats. I ended up taking two because the living conditions of the cattery were horrible. The kittens ended up getting sick and I took them to the vet. You guessed it they have FELINE VIRAL RHINOTRACHEITIS. The kittens were not up todate on the needles as she suggested. Because they went too long from their first to their second needed they will require a third needle to boost their immunity. I paid $350 for these two purebred Siamese kittens. One is Blue Point and one is Seal Point. Because I bought the kittens with the understanding they were healthy and now my vet bills are going to be much higher than I originally thought should I ask for all or part of my money back. I cant' take them back because the kittens were living and sleeping in their litter box. My heart goes out to these two little girls. Any suggestions on what I should do or how I should approach this delicate issue.
Thanks.

Someone said I could use boric acid solution. How should I dilute it? And please explain in an understandable and simple way. For the turtle food, I have these pellets that aren't very good for turtles. Is there any way I can supplement vitamin A, calcium...etc. homemade or at home? Both of my turtles has a bit soft shell and more soft at the edge on top of the tail. I'm not sure if it's because it's a baby or what. Okay thanks.

Do you know anyone who wants to sell a pottytrained shih tzu or pomeranian that cost under $800? It has to be in washington, otherwise the seller would have to ship it to me in some way. If you do know any, can you please give me their email? Thanks for any answers.

I probably want another rodent- being as we are defenatley not getting another dog and not getting a cat. No ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, or sugar gliders, because they cost way too much. No rats, either. Unless you have a nice story to tell me. Any pets that I might like? Please help.

Why is the issue of declawing a cat such a big problem? It is done under general anesthesia! It is no more painful then having a cat spayed or neutered. All cats should be indoors anyway, unless they're confined someway. Cats have no more business running loose the letting a dog run loose. What is the problem here?

Another quick question. Is it good to give the cat wet food? I feel like dry food is so bland. The adoption Cat Lady told us dry food is good for their teeth but if we do give wet food only do it for breakfast and dinner and thats it. Curious what people think about wet food. My fiance's cat had some reaction to wet food 20 yrs ago so she's afraid now. Is a reaction common? Just curious..
