Pets - 30 July 2007

This may sound pretty dumb and I feel almost like an idiot for asking, but do male and female cats have nipples? I ask because the previous owners of my kittens never told me their genders, only that there were 2 males and 2 females. It looks to me that 3 kittens have them instead of just two.

hi, my hamster fell about 4 feet down from my hands onto carpet. i picked her up both times and put her back. she is always going up through this 1 tube to go to her bed, but now she is not moving that much and just grooming, and when she tries to go up to her bed, she just looks up the tube and sits in front of it for like 15 minutes. i dont think shes hurt because shes walking fine, but please if you think shes hurt please tell! ive only had her for 2 days! i am very worried. please help. i hope she is alright.

My 10 gallon tank is sitting on my dresser now (it holds the tank fine), but the problem is it is near a window. Brown algae just recently started to grow. I was wondering if I should buy a metal stand for the tank and move it to the other side of the room, or if buying a background for the tank would work to keep some sunlight out.

i just used the gravel vacuum to change my water, and used the Aquarium starter test strips to test. everything else seems to be fine, but the pH is in the low range, on the strips, it say to add pH plus, but i can't go to petsmart until end of weekend, what should i add in the mean time? my fish seems fine until now.. i had them for about 2 month now.

what does pH mean? should i add more salt? or stress release?

thanks!!

I have a year and one month old full bred miniture pug. He is registered with the AKC. We paid good money for him and hoping to repay back by studding him out, but we have no idea on how we should go about things, Any information would be great. Like what age should we start, what we need to have done before we put a ad out, what should the starting rate be to breed him, what kind of facilities do we need to have, and how long would we keep the female that breeds to him, how long it will take for her to take?
Thanks.

I have two cats, one is a year and a half and the other is 9 months old. Both our breeder and vet recommend using Science Diet. They have both been on it since they started eating food. My husband wonders if Eukanuba would be a better choice. Any thoughts on the matter would be great. Thanks!!

I was wondering when you seperate the placantea from the puppy adn you use floss can I use unwaxed or do I have to use waxed?
After I separate the placentea from the puppy do I give it to mommy to eat, cause I read that just give her about 2 or 3 so she doesnt get diareah or starts vomitting!
My dog will be giving birth in a couple of hours!

My cat has an affinity for one of my house plants. Today I came home and she's chewed an entire branch off of this thing. When she gets up to chew on it, I'll spray her with water, but she continues to assault it. Is there anything natural and non-toxic that I can do to the plant that will keep her from destroying it?

I have a ten gallon tank in my bedroom with 1 african dwarf frog, 1 catfish, 1 algae eater, and 3 fish. Are there any puffer fish that would be suitable for this setup? I heard they are agressive. I also want one that is not that expensive. Thanks!

I will be getting a 5 gallon tank as soon as I can decide what I want to put in it. At this time, I have a 2 gallon with a betta that has all the bells and whistles (heater, filter... etc). He is happy there, but I want him to have a bit more space. I want to give him more than his plants and rock to hide in. Anyway, therefore, I'd like to move him to a five gallon and give him at least 2 "buddies" (non betta buddies of course). Buddy number one will definitely be an African Dwarf Frog, but first, I have a few questions about them. First of all, I read that some water creatures get sick when exposed to fish medicine. Do frogs? And, if the frog gets sick, would my fishy tollerate frog medicine? I also read that the frogs cannot have gravel nor marbles. What pretty (hopefully green, pink, or black) bottom tank covering can I put in that would suit the betta and the frog? My next question is how do frogs react to aquarium salt? I am so scared of my fish getting... (to be continued)

I had a friend lined up to take care of my kitten while I'm out of town and she called me today to back out and said her reason is that her cat will "force" my kitten into heat. Can this happen or is she just using it as an excuse?

I got this kitten from this lady that lives across from me. She says to give it a bath once a week to help keep the fleas away. well i gave it a bath ( he didnt like it) and dried it off as much as he would let me and let him run free. I picked him up to put him where his food was and i seen that he had foam comming from his mouth. I have never seen it before.

If people aren't breeding with a plan.. And people are just breeding with the dog up the road.. No concerns to the working ability in their breeds.. Breeding to other breeds to make so called ' pretty ' dogs... Breeding the brains right out of the dogs..

Won't we just end up with a bunch of little dogs sitting around on pillows, waiting to get their hair brushed, riding in purses, and impossible to housetrain??? Absolutely none of their original abilities left ...

Do you really want dogs like that??? Aren't those drives and abilities part of what you liked about your dog when you bought him? Or is everyone looking for a dumbed down pretty dog that they can walk at the dog park, and show off to their friends??

I think people that are just breeding their pets cause they can, cause it's their right.. Are destroying what we love about certain breeds.. They're losing the very thing we loved about them.. The fact that they are dogs and their drives brains and abilities....???
