Pets - 2 August 2007

She seems to be having too many! She eats Wellness Puppy Super5Mix according to directions on the product package. She is fed twice a day, early morning and late afternoon. (No other food) I take her in the backyard often to potty. She has bowel movements frequently during the day.
I'm not sure whether the problem is that I am taking her outside too frequently or whether this is not a good food for her?
How often should a five-month-old puppy need to eliminate?

Another concern is that she has always been able to hold her bladder a very long time! (She has water available at all times.)

I have 2 adult male guinea pigs and 1 baby male guinea pig. Ever since I got a new one, the 2 adult guinea pigs have been fighting and haven't been getting along. So now, I have 1 adult guinea pig sitting alone in one cage while the other 2 are together.

So, I've been looking for a puppy and I've noticed that a lot of breeders now make you sign a contract. Some of them are great because they simply list things such as the puppy will be well-cared for, not abused, and if the owner gives up the puppy at any time, the breeder gets him/her back. A lot also have spay-neuter contracts for dogs who will be strictly pets, which isn't too bad. But I've noticed others are pretty demanding. Some restrict the foods you can feed it. I've even seen one that listed several "premium" foods you couldn't use and some of them even make you agree to an all-natural diet. Others mandate that you name the dog like "Kennels' dog," which seems a little ridiculous. I mean, the dog is mine now, not theirs anymore. Why should I name him/her as if he's theirs, especially if he'll just be a pet and not a show dog or a breeder? So what are your thoughts on these contracts? Do you think they are fair? What parts do you agree/disagree with?

I have a 12 year old cat who, seemingly overnight, has developed a medium sized, blob-type lump under her skin behind her right shoulder. It felt warm to the touch, and moved pretty freely under the skin.

She went to the vet a week ago for her annual checkup and got some vaccines- however, she has never had an allergic reaction before, so I doubt it is that. The blob moving under her skin doesn't seem to cause her any pain (she doesn't flinch or make any kind of protest to touch) and she is walking normally. She has lost a pound and a half in the past year, and is in general good health. I'm worried, has anyone else experienced this?

I am getting bug bites all over me and they don't look like chickenpox. How do I know if it is a flea because i have 2 dogs that used to go on the bed all the time and now they don't because they got fleas. How do I get rid of them?

Including cage, bedding, enough food for a while, and other needed items.
Just for starting out though, /not/ how much I would spend over its entire life.

Im thinking he is dead but he might not be. He is floating around, not breathing (thats why I think he might be dead), and has a black bulge on one of its sides near the bottom of the fish? Is this bad because I have another goldfish in the same tank and show I go out and immediately buy another one?

I live in an apartment, and have a cockatiel who get extremely loud when she wants my attention. I don't have problems with her being loud in the morning, its throughout the day. Covering her cage doesn't work, it just frustrates her and makes her scream louder. I know she is screaming for my attention, but my roommate says she does it all day while I'm at work, help?

My kitty, who is about 10 months old has been going out for a few hours everyday and come back fine.

But lately it's been very hot and he's not used to the heat. He comes back lazy and sleepy and he hs no energy. He seems sick but I don't know why he would be sick.

HELP! Could it be eatting plants or bugs? He does that alot.

Also, his somache is a little tender when we touching. I was petting him and he would meow whenever i would go over that spot.

Please help me, I'm very worried.
